Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Namecheap SSL Certificates are used across our entire organization in a couple of different ways. We self host as well as use a variety of hosting providers based on client and contract needs. As such, we require SSL certs for client sites as well as internal properties that all employees use. Now, the majority of our sales and agency staff have no idea what an SSL cert is to begin with but they are still required pieces of networking architecture and have to be purchased and managed by the IT staff.

Pros

  • Reliable and verifiable chain of trust
  • Reseller of reputable certificate authorities like RapidSSL, geoTrust
  • They are one of the cheapest and most reliable issuers with industry leading verification practices

Cons

  • Basically no customer support post-sale
  • No technical support for implementation if you need it (most SysAdmins will not)
  • Excessive marketing/reminder/renewal emails

Likelihood to Recommend

There aren't a lot of downsides with Namecheap SSL [Certificates]. We use them primarily unless a client or contractual needs states otherwise. They are fast, responsive and essentially cheap. This is just because they are a wholesale reseller from trusted certificate authorities like a lot of their counterparts. However their reputation for cost and ease have put them in the top running. As I mentioned, there is basically no support beyond the delivering of the purchased product as requested. In some circumstance, when clients move/switch hosting/marketing representation, transfer of the SSL ownership can be a hassle because you don't have a dedicated support portal. But you get what you pay for and the savings justify it.
