This is disheartening to hear. This year I began slowly switching my domains to NameCheap from Godaddy before renewal because of the huge difference in price plus the added NameCheap free stuff Godaddy charges extra for. I guess there's a reason NameCheap is cheap :(

Was your domain in 'locked' status, preventing transfers etc?

Yeah the domain was/is locked. The domain wasn't transferred - the NC account that owned the domain was handed over.

I also moved from Godaddy to NC. For me it was 2013 when GoDaddy supported SOPA.

If the price is your concern, the Cloudflare registration is only $10.

I moved my domains from GoDaddy to NameCheap some years ago.

And recently from NameCheap to Cloudflare once I heard NameCheap changed owners.

So far, so good. If Cloudflare messes up my domains, of all things, I might as well quit tech and become a farmer.
