I moved from Godaddy to Namecheap in August. Got sick of all the extra crap Godaddy would try to sell me when it came time to renew.

After a recent experience, I have to recommend strongly against Madgenius. I had previously used them for simple hosting, but as a domain service they are terrible. I know I'll get some pushback here because they offer an ATOT discount, but it's the truth. Anyway felt I should follow up after my recommendations here and elsewhere
It's a one man shop and I get the sense unless you are a larger client, you are useless (understandable but if you aren't spending a lot that means you're better off going to a larger service)
I have no personal experience with MadGenius domain or hosting wise.
You should ALWAYS register your domains directly with an actual domain registrar that is ICANN accredited.
Domain - Domain registrar
Web hosting - Hosting company
Keep them separate.
Yea I was pretty clueless going in, I had just used them for my hosting so I figured keep it all in house.
You're right and it does make sense to have everything in house. When you think about it, a single billing and support contact makes total sense. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Fortunately I read threads similar to this which clued me in and ever since then I keep the two separate.
Aside from domain problems, how is MadGenius for hosting?

I've used Namecheap exclusively since Ross recommended them many, many years ago.
