I personally will or recommend the namecheap as they not cheap anymore. Try namesilo instead.

Don't go namecheap, renewal will be $22 for a .com where at namesilo it's $8 with free privacy

No need to exaggerate: https://www.domcomp.com/tld/com says that namecheap renews a .com domain for $10.69. Are you saying that this is incorrect?

WHOIS Privacy isn't included in that $10.69 - though it's "complimentary" for the first year.

Okay, just for the sake of an accurate comparison:

Renewal of a .com domain at:

namecheap: $10.69 + $2.88 (Whois privacy; first year free) = $13.57
namesilo: $8.99 (Whois privacy included)

The difference in price is $4.58, which is significant, but it's far from $14 (= $22 - $8).

Is namesilo good with support? I might switch to them since my end with namecheap is coming.

namecheap definitely has good support (a lot of people confirm this, including me).

I've never had the need to use namesilo support, so I'm afraid that I can't say, but I imagine that it's okay.

But I guess the question is how often you would really need support from a domain registrar. Normally, you set the parameters for your domain, and you can forget about it.

I ever used domainmonster like 5 years ago but they were recently acquired.
