READER QUESTION

Which one of these forums are you already a member of and what has been your biggest benefit since joining? Share with me below in the comment area.

Are you in need of a domain registrar? One that is reliable, easy to use and affordable. How about one that has a groovy affiliate program.

Then you will be happy to hear about Namecheap. This is my registrar of choice and has been for about 2 years now. I have all but one domain name registered through Namecheap, so that would be almost 15. Why do I choose Namecheap over others more well known (and marketed) such as craptastic Go Daddy?

Well for one thing they DO NOT bombard me with a bazillion ads and offers when I try to quickly register a domain name. They DO NOT send me a gagoolian emails asking me to sign-up for this whatchamacallit and that whoneedsitcrap.

But what I really digg about Namecheap is their super easy-no fuss interface. It’s all laid out real simple and makes for a nice experience, plus they have several cool features built-into their registration process. Whenever you register a domain name, you can set it up so that it AUTOMATICALLY sets up DNS from your server a/k/a webhost. This makes it nice and quick to register and set up a new domain name for that quickie blog you want to create. (and maybe sell)

Here are some more cool features from Namecheap:

• Easy login
• Easy account set-up
• Easy domain search
• Discount on transfers from another registrar (like craptastic Go Daddy or Yahoo)
• A marketplace which allows you to quickly sell and push domain to another NC user
• Twitter integration (not sure I like this but its available)
• Affiliate program – 15% commission on referred customers
• Monthly discount promo codes on new registrations
• Free Who Is Guard (contact info privacy)
• Quick registrations
• Payment via Paypal is accepted
• Live Support
• Forums
• They have a Facebook fan page and Twitter account
• Cheap domains (less than $9 with coupon code)
• All TLD extensions (including the new .ME)
• Free email/URL forwarding
• Easy as pie control panel

If you’re a blogger, internet marketer or site flipper then you know you NEED a domain registrar you can count on and one that is easy, quick and affordable.

Namecheap is my choice.
