Namecheap now accepts Bitcoin!

[epetroel]

This is great!  I've been using namecheap for years and was waiting to renew a few domains after hearing they were going to be accepting bitcoins soon. 

Just added $90 worth of coins a few minutes ago - seems to be working flawlessly.

OP, please put a link to http://www.namecheap.com in your post so that those wanting to switch over can connect from here. That will show them the large amount of traffic they are getting from switching over to Bitcoin.

I will be moving all of my domains over from godaddy and hostmonster.

I cannot access their site at work, how is their hosting service? Do they allow java and JVM? I was about to sign up for rimuhosting.com which allows this with shell access but I asked them if they supported payments with Bitcoin and they said "We do not have any plans to accept bitcoin as payment method at the moment.".

The more things that I usually pay for with $ that now accept BTC the better.

This is great news.

I am transferring all of our domains to them now. 

How are they handling confirmations?  They appear not to accept zero-confirmation, but do they require 1, 3, 6?

It seemed to be six when I did it yesterday. Until 6 confirmations the transfer doesn't show up at all in your account.

If anybody wants to support a domain registrar native to bitcoin, consider Bitronic Technologies! I'm creating a promotion for people looking to transfer their domains to a bitcoin domain registrar (we have been accepting bitcoin for a year already).

I'm going to beat namecheap's price too. Use the promo code 9btc to transfer or register and .com/.net./.org domain name for only 0.22BTC($9.50) vs namecheaps $9.69. Or get a free domain name with any annual hosting purchase using the promo code freedom

Nice...and your hosting services appear to be cheaper than namecheap.

Indeed, we are a lean orange hosting machine!

Namecheap through Bitpay works great! The funds aren't credited instantaneously yet, but soon enough for that purpose.

Best wishes to all BTC merchants!
