Easy to set up with good chat support and no downtime
I would like to see specials on renewals like Go Daddy used to offer, so it would be possible to renew at the $10 rate I pay at the lower-priced registrar that doesn't offer a catchall address in their email forwarding. I would definitely take advantage of those offers and move those domains to Namecheap. Other than that, Namecheap is perfect as it is.

Has saved time during website building and helps maintain a professional look
The mobile view needs to be fixed when reviewing on the desktop to show what it actually displays on the phone. There were a couple of small bugs which I think they fixed. Sometimes when dragging and dropping things into place, they would snap into place, and then after saving and checking the live page, it would not quite match what was showing in the website builder. I would have to go back in and move it to the right and then snap it back for it to work. Sometimes doing exactly the same thing when building requires one or two attempts to get it to reflect what you want to see on the live page.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have never had any downtime with these domains."
"The biggest advantages are that it is inexpensive and very easy to use, which means I can spend less time building the website and more time working."
"Wix has actually reduced my time in developing or delivering a website to the client, so I can have more clients in the pipeline."
"The return on investment with Wix is excellent because hosting a website costs around 4,000 to 5,000 Indian Rupees, equivalent to $50 a year, I have access to all tools and functionalities, and I can generate as much sales as I want through Wix."
"I like the solution's responsiveness, usability, and user interface."
"Basic features can be grasped in a couple of hours because it's CMS-based with all tools readily available."
"I found everything okay in Wix, and it's easy to create a website."
 

Cons

"At $15 to renew a .com domain, Namecheap isn't so cheap anymore."
"Wix has drawbacks regarding website optimization and speed."
"The Wix editor can sometimes be glitched or buggy and requires a significant amount of memory on my computer."
"The solution’s scalability can be improved."
"There are a few bugs where what it says it will show on the phone versus the laptop does not always match."
"When it comes to drag and drop, it sometimes creates problems when the size is not compatible."
"Wix is quite slow. When I use Wix, it's a bit slower than Shopify."
