      Ditto on namecheap.

      I will say that while GoDaddy is awful for web hosting their VPS customer service is like a VIP queue, and they’re great. Not the cheapest. I only keep GoDaddys shit webhosting because I have their VPS as well and I save a bit that way.

      Their price seems cheap, but they slowly hike up the price over time. Their API is so bad that it’s a classic example of what a company doesn’t reinvent themselves and sit on their reputation and status quo.

        Thankfully I don’t deal with enough domains to need to wrangle them with an API.

        Appreciate the warning for if I ever I do though - what’s so bad about it?

      This has the most upvotes so far so checked it out first.

      I’m at the basket stage but don’t see an option to not add my details to the public database like I did on names.co.uk. Do you know if that’s an option.
