Does Namecheap offer domain forwarding?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:36 pm

When looking for a domain name registrar, many consumers are faced with the question of whether or not to consider Namecheap. Namecheap is a registrar that offers domain forwarding, which is a service that allows one to purchase a domain name and have it forwarded to another domain name.

While this service is convenient for those who need to change their domain name often, it is not without its risks. Namecheap does not have a great reputation for customer service, and some have reported that their domains were not transferred when they believed they had.

PRO TIP: Namecheap does offer domain forwarding, however, we recommend that you do not use this feature. Domain forwarding can cause DNS issues and may result in your website being unavailable.

Additionally, if the original domain name is suspended or seized, the forwarding service will not be able to help you recover your domain.

Overall, Namecheap is an affordable and convenient domain registrar, but be aware of the risks involved with using its forwarding service.
