I actually moved a friends hosting from Godaddy to my own servers just last night (he was about a week past expiration on a 2 yr contract).
One thing I haven't seen out of the hundreds of comments about moving off of Godaddy the last few days is any mention of Email. Call me stupid, but I was using Godaddy's email service for really simple email accounts (ie. catchalls on personal domains). I'm using Google Apps to manage some of my email, but I found just going with Godaddy to be much simpler on non mission critical stuff. Was nobody at all, not one person using Godaddy's email service?
Also, I'm on Name.com which I like a lot, but they use Google Apps for email, I've got some dumb domains that I want to run email through (as I described above). Can anyone tell me if Namecheap approaches email the same basic way that Godaddy had (ie. free email credits with each domain registered, pop3/imap, etc..).
