Domain registrar
Namecheap, Inc. (Namecheap) has partnered with Creative Cloud provider Adobe. Namecheap has headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, United States. Established in 2001 the company specializes in domain name registration but also offers a range of services including its ‘EasyWP’ managed WordPress hosting offering. Other services it offers include web hosting and website building tools alongside SSL certificates. By partnering with Adobe, the companies will make “purchasing and connecting custom domain names simple, seamless and affordable”.
The partnership will leverage ‘Adobe Portfolio’, a free website development solution offered by Adobe through ‘Creative Cloud’ – a subscription based online suite of Adobe products such as PageMaker and Photoshop. Available in 19 languages, Adobe Portfolio is flexible enough to enable people to design a single-page or “full portfolio” websites without knowledge of HTML or CSS.
The solution provides a range of customizable themes that have responsive designs and are optimized for any device. Adobe Portfolio now allows users to find and pay for a custom domain name of their choice to add value to their Adobe Portfolio-designed site. They can purchase domains from Namecheap and point them at their websites “without leaving the web design platform”.
"Namecheap and Adobe Portfolio share a mission to help designers, entrepreneurs, small businesses and startups launch their ideas to the world through their own website," explained the Chief Operating Officer of Namecheap, Hillan Klein. "Namecheap's custom integration into their platform will make purchasing and connecting a domain name easier than ever before for Adobe Portfolio customers."
