Re:GoDaddy deletes my domains and charges me to restore them by adambenayoun on Tuesday February 05, 2013 @05:23AM (#5170000)
I am using namecheap for 5-6 years now (can't remember for how long). I never had to do anything except manually renew the domain I needed.

I also set myself in a mission to 'help' people who need help with setting up their DNS and uses Godaddy to transfer them to Namecheap first before helping out - simply because I wouldn't want to deal with Godaddy horrible UI.

To date I think I've been able to move about 100 domains out of Godaddy.

By the way it's a shame since I know some Godaddy Execs and they're very nice, I feel they're like trying to navigate a old ship that won't turn its course no matter how much energy they put in.

I also use namecheap, they're great. One thing I like about them compared to GoDaddy, which I used to use, is that the control panel for a domain is tiny yet does everything I need. The number of different control panels, all of which took forever to load and were horrible to use and navigate, is one of the reasons I no longer use GoDaddy.
