since you are here, can i ask you something sir? why is your company still using the word "cheap" when clearly it is not the case? marketing by straight up lying to your new customers?

Cheap is a matter of perspective, like all marketing.

Yeah! Like why is Microsoft lying by no longer being “micro.” They’re way too big for that name.

Tried buying any fruit from Apple? Can't do it! They only sell computers and phones and stuff!

Namecheap is still reasonably cost competitive. I use them for a few domains I own and haven’t had any major issues and found the price closer to other well known competitors.

Until you try to put a single NS record on your domain. Then you have to cough up the dough for a business plan. Utterly laughable and why I moved off Cloudflare for my domains. NS records are free on Namecheap and Porkbun.

I alway compare prices at domcomp.com Over the time, most of my 15 domains (mixed tlds, .com .net .us .xyz .in etc) got moved over to cloudflare & dynadot, with them both having cheaper renewals.

> straight up lying to your new customers

A bit overdramatic don't you think? Cheap is a matter of opinion.

This is a cheap shot. I do not think "sir" will pay any attention.

Is it that difficult for you to comprehend brand names? It might have been accurate at some point, but times grow and brand names aren't meant to be taken literally.

Ser, your name is satoshiiii, so am I supposed to think you are the real Bitcoin creator? or are you straight up lying to other users?
