The process actually only took like 24 hours for me, it was amazingly quick. They also kept all the DNS records intact so no issues with anyone not getting to the web server. Wait for the deals and...

Hmm, it looks like whatever time I purchased from GoDaddy will remain if I move to namecheap. Seems like I ought to get the process started in the near future. I should probably also look into moving...

If you have eliminated business practices and price as points of comparison, that doesn't leave much to work with.

I moved away from GoDaddy a few years back after they jacked their rates. At the time the interface for management was started to get bloated but is no where as bad as it is now. I've looked at...

Namecheap's monthly email newsletter always includes a few discount codes, and almost always one for transfers.

Agreed. Didn't realize there was some sort of gentleman's etiquette between rivals in big business.

GoDaddy has a lot of deals up every week. Other than that, there isn't much to choose between the two.

Just a quick aside, what do you expect to go wrong with a registrar that would cause your site to go down? Moreover, Namecheap also has 24-hour chat available.
You do realize that a LOT of...

Apples versus grapes. Both fruits, both have different tastes and different flavors of the same fruit. Look for the one with the best billing system for you.

There's also the online control panel for said domain. Godaddy's control panel is cumbersome, slow loading and ultimately annoying.

GoDaddy sucks a**. Their customer service is amongst the worst in the business and should you ever try to leave, they will hold your domain hostage for a minimum of 3 months. Been there, done that....

By business practices, I guess I should have specified the whole CEO hunting thing and (as important as it is) GoDaddy's support of SOPA/PIPA, which I now realize are not business practices.

I am not sure how can you compare to service just for domain registration.

I've...

:lol: I think you misread my post. I got it down a dollar (from $10) to $9, so I still paid quite a bit. I'll look into snagging one of those nice deals for my other domain though.

I'm currently locked into a 5 year domain with GoDaddy. Unless name cheap will transfer both the domain and the length of time I have my domain, I'm not going to worry to much about it. I only have...

Name cheap has better prices!
GoDaddy is full of useless add-ons to extract more money from you.
