    Unverified conspiracy theory: GoDaddy holds all these inactive domains through a shell company so they can charge finders fees and commission to โ€œfindโ€ the owner of the domain, themselves Namecheap would never stoop to such loser levels

    FYI I won't be able to talk on Matrix for a while, because namecheap seems to be down and doesn't want to update their DNS with my new ip address... I guess I will need to make a server on discord after all

    @GLAsk1d @Namecheap I shut it down for the night after I posted the thread. I'll get it up tomorrow. Ping me if you don't see me posting it before lunch.

    Waking up to @Namecheap being down is not how I wanted to finish off my weekend. I've never seen an outage like this before with them!

    @Namecheap Never once have you reached out to me properly to verify my claims you know how to find my contact information. Iโ€™ve already told you where it is not affiliated with that garbage. Please reach out and rectify the problem. I donโ€™t want to call the police department again๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก

    @itsaaroshi Fr, straight honest answer: Cloudflare for DNS, management, and zero sketchy upsells.Porkbun & Cloudflare all the way.Porkbun for cheap, clean domain pricing + free privacy. Namecheap mid, Dynadot solid but UI clunky.Never touch GoDaddy (scammy upsells, overpriced). No cringe hidden fees, no forced add-ons, just simple domains.

    @BacLeodiv Everyone hates on Godaddy but I e been there 20 years and only had one major issue related to their migration in the early 2010s. Hundreds of domains and 40ish customers. No complaints. I also use the others. Namecheap is up and down on their support. Cloudflare I thought of as expensive. But honestly they all are now.

    @gauravsapkotanp Definitely not Namecheap, because @theo said they were bad and scammy.

    It has never been cheaper to build a startup. Claude for coding โ€” $20/mo Supabase for backend โ€” free Vercel for deploys โ€” free Namecheap for domain โ€” $20/yr Stripe for payments โ€” % only GitHub for version control โ€” free Resend for emails โ€” free Clerk for auth โ€” free Cloudflare for DNS โ€” free PostHog for analytics โ€” free Sentry for error tracking โ€” free Upstash for Redis โ€” free Pinecone for vector DB โ€” free You can literally launch with ~$20/month. The hard part is no longer building. The hard part is getting people to care.

  • spaceship
    Spaceship (@spaceship) reported

    @Atifel_ We take accusations of front-running very seriously, and we want to assure you with 100% certainty that Spaceship never registers domain names based on customer search queries. The domains you provided are registry premium and not registered with Spaceship or Namecheap. Because the registry determines the base cost for these premium names, the higher price applies to both the initial registration and the annual renewals.

    @TTrimoreau Godaddy is better to buy domain, I never found pricing diff between namecheap and godaddy

    @dev_olayinka Im sure you had other cheaper options from the start. You know why you chose Namecheap. I will never use any other hosting server other than namecheap my bro.

  • irucsbo
    ... (@irucsbo) reported

    @NamecheapCEO I used Namebase (owned by @Namecheap) to manage my funds. Three months ago, you sold the platform without notifying your clients. Since Namecheap sold the platform, I have lost access to my funds, and this issue has now been ongoing for more than three months.

  • TheTrunkTales
    The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported

    @GLAsk1d @Namecheap I got one domain taken down, it was a different registrar though. Namecheap doesn't appear to want to play ball.

    @BTCUFO Itโ€™s really **** that @Namecheap donโ€™t let users list .ai domain names on their platform

  • TheTrunkTales
    The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported

    @Namecheap So, you are not going to take action against the domain simply because it removed the subdomain? The root domain is the threat, and it continues to create subdomains with this content. This is not an isolated issue.

    Dusty Candland (@candland) reported

    @austinginder That's a crazy one! I've seen a number of bad things on GoDaddy as well. Generally try to get clients to move to PorkBun or NameCheap... I'll even help them for free!

    @Arfness @1grid_hosting Just been through the drama of moving client domains away from NameCheap (in protest of their pro-Zionist BS). I need to find a home for novelty TLDs that Xneelo doesn't support. Can you recommend anything?

    @Karakehayov Spaceship is the best, namecheap and Afternic are the worst.

  • QirisitiReturns
    Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reported

    This is the issue. i hope i don't sound entitled. On @Namecheap I had a domain that was expiring in a day, and stellar hosting had already expired. so i added domain renewal and hosting renewal yearly subscription, plus helping services to my cart and paid 45 USD thread..

    @elgermerlo @GoDaddy @Cloudflare GoDaddy isnโ€™t even a consideration for me.. itโ€™s Cloudflare first place or namecheap for TLDs that Cloudflare doesnโ€™t support yet
