I have nothing but great things to say about your live support. My experience with them in setting up the FreeDNS in advance of transferring my domains was excellent! Live support in trying to get my email set up was also first-rate.

Great service..
February 10, 2014

Great service. I bought 3 products, but one was by mistake (a duplicate of an earlier order). I sent off an email and within minutes I received a reply and a complete refund. Very happy.

There were 2 minor glitches:
February 10, 2014

There were 2 minor glitches:
-Address is formatted strange (ie my zip code is "****", however Namecheap.com shows it as "000****") for a Hungarian address => I think I can live with this
-2 factor authentication did not work - I have not received the SMS ever since - judging by the other error I would expect that you sent it to the US to someone... :) (I have no problem with this either - just correct it eventually when you get around to it... :) )

I love your beautiful interface and the tools for searching and purchasing domains. It informs without getting in the way.

The cpanel for domain management is still not a very lovely experience, though. All the text and buttons are very small and the interface is not terribly intuitive, although it does everything I need it to.

Thanks!
