I have well over 100 domains with Godaddy and Directnic.
I will consider moving them all if this is true. Moving domains cross registrars can be a lot of hassle though.

Takes less than a couple of hours for domains to move from Godaddy to Namecheap as long as you approve the request from both ends. |

I wish I wasn't already a Namecheap customer so I could transfer my domains again. Very curious to see what happens once we get an official statement!

Once they've implemented this, someone should ask them to put up a page with step-by-step instructions on how to switch domains from, say, GoDaddy to Namecheap. I have several domains with GD and will gladly switch them over if Namecheap accepts BTC. But I'll need someone to show me how as if I was a six year old |

lets ask godaddy about bitcoin payment. tell them about namecheap!
It's true, GoDaddy got burned last time they let Namecheap out-net-credibility them, and they may be scared of it happening again. |

Everybody forgot that namecheap.com is run by Zhou Tong, the embezzler of bitcoinica?
Edit: sorry, I got confused memory.

Yes Namecheap did very well with their SOPASucks promo code to take customers away from GoDaddy. http://venturebeat.com/2011/12/27/namecheap-offers-discount-for-domain-transfers/. The margins in this industry are very thin on single domain registrations so Bitcoin can allow Namecheap to be a fierce competitor against GoDaddy simply by eliminating credit card merchant fees and chargeback risk. |

Go Daddy sucks, they do not support a free internet and even if they accepted Bitcoin (which is highly unlikely but I suppose possible if they wanted to cash in on it) they'd never get any of mine! |

There were also rumors of GoDaddy snatching nice domain names if you have searched for them on their website. I haven't heard anything like that about NameCheap, they really seem to be an awesome company in many ways.
