I'm loving this Bitcoin ramp up over the past few weeks. Namecheap should be applauded for their general endorsement of "what's good for the internet". Of course it's in their best interest, but you don't see GoDaddy doing the same.

I think back to the "So, that's the end of Bitcoin"[1] article by Forbes and chuckle to myself. Hopefully one day we can look back at that article in the same way we look back at Ballmer laughing at the iPhone [2]

Second that on Namecheap apparently being on the side of the internet. Weren't they a vocal opponent of SOPA?

Chiming in here to say that I moved all my domains from GoDaddy to Namecheap, too. Fantastic service so far.

Yes they were. Made me move all my domains to namecheap.

As far as I remember, they gave a discount to people moving from godaddy and even provided a tool to assist them move. Of course it was in their best interest.
