Namecheap Redesign.

It's a lot better/modern than the old design. The old design (as seen below) was a bit cluttered in areas, not responsive, etc.. Though the new one does lack contrast in some areas like the "Find your domain name" text and that headline/subheadline. Could have used a better less clutterish image there of the people.
Loved the old one, you could literally get anywhere from the front page. Now it's a generic looking hipster crap with no information on anything. I guess they are shifting their focus towards simpler stuff for wider audience. No mention of their awesome free private registration but pushing that new one-pager website builder. I guess that makes sense for them.
Oh and lately they've been pressuring someone who is not me to upgrade several shared plans to higher level due to "resource abuse". Suspending accounts and all that.
Oh well, what I loved about NC was strong shared hosting, free private reg and simple ass interface, looks like our roads part...

Well that was long over due.
It still pretty much looks the same on the inside once you login. The header is really the only different main thing.

about time. namecheap's old design is comparable to neverblue's current design - they're both living in 2006.
i like the new redesign. especially the kiddies they put on the front page - it gives the website a warm, youthful, and exuberant feel. less clutter, moar win.

At least the backend remains the same.
The new design is visually okay, but seems to be aimed at the wrong demographic. But what do I know, I don't know who buys from them the most. I'd want a far more corporate and professional and sophisticated design, myself. A boss design, not a playground design.

Never host with your domain registrar, and never register domains with your host.
And NC never had strong shared hosting, which is an oxymoron btw. They still offer free whoisguard and [hopefully] still won't seize your domain names at the first sign of legal trouble like GoDaddy will. Until they stop being reliable in that way, I will continue with NC.
That said, I miss the old design.
Looks nice.
But it's WAY too big.
My eyes can't physically read all that...
I hope people stop designing like that.
When you have to scroll for four or five mins just to read like 200 words, that's insane.
Remember when websites used to be condensed, like Wickedfire?
This responsive trend lately has been OVERKILL for readability.
Scaling the page back down to 90%, and it's so much better..
....
See what I mean? Sigh...

In a nutshell - why? (I never have only because it works out that way, not by design.)
