Focus: Overall Strategic planning, Staff and Quality Assurance

I started this company with the intention to build a quality domain registrar with a laser-like focus on the best interface design and user experience as well as to provide our clients with the best support anywhere. Everything we build and do at Namecheap revolves around these two factors. Our company culture is entirely dedicated to you, our clients and how we can help you buy and manage your domains in the most efficient and hassle-free way possible. Everyone on our staff, from the bottom up, is ingrained with these same values and is at the ready to serve you in any way possible. As the CEO and Founder of Namecheap Inc., I'd like to welcome you to join our family and try out our services. I'm quite confident you won't be disappointed.

From the day I started building Namecheap.com from scratch to the present day and beyond, my focus is to architect, engineer, and develop products and infrastructure that puts the customer first. I strive to bring to life our company's vision to build the best-in-class user interface to make it simple and painless for our customers to purchase and manage products all the while keeping in the mind that we are being entrusted with your invaluable domains.

Focus: Hosting, Management

I became involved with Namecheap in 2006, founding and launching the hosting division. After months of meticulous planning, we launched our hosting division using the usual Namecheap ingredients: great customer service, competitive pricing and an industry leading product. I work closely with our management team concentrating on the hosting side of our business as we continue to evolve our products and services. Our whole ethos is centered around customer service and this makes Namecheap a great company to work for.

I joined the Namecheap team in 2006, planning and laying down the foundation for our hosting division. With a brand as trusted as Namecheap, offering anything less than the best hosting service was just not an option for us. I continue to work with our management team as well as the hosting division on a daily basis not only ensuring we are doing the very best for our clients at all times, but that Namecheap maintains forward momentum and solidifies our position as a leader in the industry with new products and innovation. Working with Namecheap is an amazing and positive experience; I appreciate our team, our values, and no matter how cliche it may sound - each and every one of our customers.

We manage all Namecheap hosting services and ensure that our users are assisted in the event of any technical problems.
