I clearly remember the first time I registered a domain name.
It was frustrating as hell!
I was registering the domain with GoDaddy, and they had so many add-ons, up-sells and options; I gave up part way through the process.
I actually had to stop, and ask my more knowledgeable brother, to go through it with me.
It was a confusing experience, to say the least. And even though I finally got used to navigating the GoDaddy maze, it was still very annoying, every time I wanted to register a domain name.
That is, until I found a much better option…
Namecheap!!
What’s so great about buying a domain name with Namecheap?
Namecheap was a breath of fresh air. Once I started using them, I couldn’t believe that I had put up with GoDaddy for so long.
Their interface was simple and intuitive. Their checkout process doesn’t have the confusing add-ons, up-sells, and options. They give you complete control over your domain records and make it very easy to manage your domains.
And best of all, they’re cheap! (Just as their name promises.)

Oh, and one more thing about Namecheap.
I didn’t tell you because I wanted to save the best for last…
Namecheap has FREE Whois Guard with every domain you buy from them!
If you’re not familiar with Whois Guard, here’s a short explanation taken from the Namecheap website.
“The WHOIS database is accessible by anyone on the Internet. Therefore, when you register a domain, you risk exposing your name, address, email, and phone number to spammers, marketing firms, and other online fraudsters. Use “WhoisGuard,” our privacy protection option, and stay worry-free!”
It’s an extremely important feature that GoDaddy had been charging me $10/year for, and now I get it for FREE with every domain I register with Namecheap.
The entire experience that Namecheap provides is impossible to beat, in my mind.
