Cloudflare Raises $150M and Adds to Board of Directors

I haven't tried namecheap DNS recently, but I used to use it. I hated DNS. It would just take hours and hours for any change to propagate, regardless of TTL and it was just extremely painful to work with. I thought this was just the way DNS was, until I switched to cloudflare. Suddenly, new records appeared instantly and changes applied in seconds or minutes it felt like pure magic.

So, that's my review of Namecheap freeDNS. I suppose they make it bad on purpose so people upgrade to their premium DNS?

+1 love namecheap but DNS would regularly fail esp "v2"

I’ve been using namecheaps free DNS work in recent weeks and it propagated super quickly (2 or 3 minutes, I used a dns checker to see and various hosts around the globe all saw the changes).

For my own stuff, I use digitalocean for hosting so use their nameservers for DNS.
