These days, many guests are used to ordering stuff online with no human interaction. They expect the same for booking their vacations - they want to be able to just fill out a form, provide their credit card, click OK a few times, and bam! They're booked.

...r 2, the agency only gets commission on 2. TAs sort of take it in the shirt either way, but it is how it has historically been done.

I just went through all the steps and spoke to Namecheap and they got all my DNS stuff connected, etc. Everything is showing good.
