A namecheap bug got my domain suspended: https://captnemo.in/blog/2026/05/05/namecheap-whois/

I'm planning to migrate out.

So what company are people switching to? Namecheap used to be a reasonable choice -oh wait there is another thread with that discussion

- Porkbun (see the thread below https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50144164)

- Cloudflare

I’ve got some domains in Cloudflare and some in Porkbun. No issues yet. I also like how straightforward Porkbun is while still supporting API automation and team accounts.

Porkbun was very pleasant to use, would definitely recommend them!

I wanted something in the EU, so I went with INWX - their UI is quite unintuitive/bad in my eyes though. I guess Hostinger/IONOS/Gandi/... would also be pretty popular for anyone like me.

I have good experiences with both porkbun and INWX as well. INWX could indeed use a UX update.

I used to use TransIP.nl and while they are still good, they’ve gotten expensive over the last few years.

Yeah, I'm not waiting around for Namecheap to screw me, I'm moving to porkbun. They do all the stuff Namecheap does for me now.

I've been waiting for the "porkbun screwed me" stories, but haven't seen any yet.

Hilarious because namecheap is the number 1 provider of lookalike domains that we see in our incident response actions.

If your business strategy involves going with a vendor with 'cheap' in the name, that's probably the Root Cause of most issues that arise from that vendor

namecheap was decent, unfortunately the lesson people need to learn is that not everything stays decent, not in the current share-holder asskissing climate

They used to be great, I had 30+ domains with them and support used to be great. They got acquired by PE and went downhill.
