DYJ (@davidyjeong) reportedan attacker tried to hijack one of our domains as well, here's what happened > i get an email from the domain registrar's abuse department telling me they've approved my request to change the email on my account to contact@<similar domain> > i don't own this other domain and i've never made such a request > within 30 seconds, i emailed back saying i did not make the request > i email namecheap, the registrar for the other domain and report abuse to block STMP/IMAP > i pull out my laptop in the middle of a shopping mall and literally sit on the floor to log in and add in every form of MFA i could > 10 minutes later, the account is locked > i get an email from the registrar effectively saying "ignore the previous email, we didn't change the email yet. we've locked your account, please give us KYC documents" > i go back and forth and provide all the KYC documents they ask for > i confirm that no changes can be made to the domain while it is locked > i create a ticket from the regitrar's contact form from their official website to verify the email thread is legitimate > the account is locked for a week while they verify my documents > we constantly monitor the domain (dig NS <domain> +short) just in case > i threaten to submit an ICANN complaint and tell my users to use a new domain if they don't unlock my account > account unlocked within minutes > currently moving everything to AWS Route 53 PSA - if you're not on AWS, move everything to AWS. if you log into a website with your wallet, make sure to carefully read the authorizations prompt

Nexus Intelligence (@nexushqintel) reported@Polymarket @PelicanAI_ independently verified the polyboost forensic. Domain registered 22 days ago on Namecheap with privacy shield. Already flagged low-trust by multiple scanners. Same affiliate ring, same bot reply network, same scam. Different wrapper.

Global Ledger Alerts (@GlobalLedger) reportedThanks to @Namecheap for the quick action in suspending the fraudulent service.

Babayola (@PeterJev) reported@asquarebubble I don dey move my clients to Namecheap. If client no get namecheap budget, we use Globalhosting247. The customer support isn't the best, but you will hardly need to call them
-
Temitope (@TemitopeJuba) reported@RaenestApp @adeife_adeoye Your customer care is ignoring me! I made a payment with my virtual card for a Namecheap service. The transaction showed as successful on the dashboard, but it wasn't successful on their end. I made a complaint but still no response. This is scary!

Web3_WizZ (@Web3_WizZ) reportedLet me tell you something about ownership that the traditional internet never gave you. Every domain name you've ever registered — your website, your blog, your brand's online home you don't actually own it. You're renting it. You pay GoDaddy, Namecheap and Google Domains. Every single year. Miss a payment? Forget to renew? Your domain expires. Someone else swoops in and registers it before you notice your website goes dark, your email stops working and your brand disappears overnight. This is the reality of "owning" a domain name on the traditional internet. You're not an owner. You're a tenant. And the landlord always wins. SNS (@sns) said no to all of that. Here's the SNS model in full: You register yourname.sol. You pay once. And that's it. No renewal invoice in your email every December. No annual fee quietly draining your card. No expiry date looming over your digital identity. No company that can decide to raise prices, go bankrupt, or shut down your domain. You own it. Permanently. On-chain. Forever. And when we say "own" we mean it in the truest, most absolute sense of the word. Your .sol domain is stored as a permanent record on the @solana blockchain. Not on a company's server. Not in a database some executive can wipe. On a decentralized, globally distributed, and unstoppable network.

Jay Khatri (@JaykhatriDev) reported@AlfinCodes I mostly use namecheap as it provides renewal domains at cheaper rates, but go daddy offer 24/7 phone +chat support.

Mike Codes (@Newaicoder) reported@melvynx **** porkbun! They had my info tied to a domain I didn’t own for decades and wouldn’t update them. Impossible to reach anyone with half a brain I’ve bought 100s of domains with namecheap never an issue
-
Hari Prasad (@booleanbeyondIN) reported@CiCorpAfrica @CiCorpAfrica got it. Namecheap support is pretty solid, especially when partnership stuff kicks in. Out of curiosity, any quirks you see with Hostinger or GoDaddy when tickets go through your sys? Just want to know what to avoid next time.

Siva DTG 🫵 (@dtg_fun) reportedSo My Namecheap hosted websites where down for last 3 days, one is a wordpress website and another is a Flask app. Namecheap support system wasn't working for me, Max to Max they were blaming me. Just changed the nameservers to cloudflare and things got back to normal.

Vontavius Hurd (@vontaviushurd) reported@CodeWithAmann NameCheap never buy a domain from Cloudflare you won’t be able to use another hosting provider like WordPress, Google Cloud, or AWS. Hostinger is usually just slow and buggy.

Emily Hartstone (@Empromo_hart) reported@YashHustle_22 I've had great experience with Namecheap after moving from GoDaddy who ripped me off for years no matter how many times I caught them and told them lol. Bluehost isn't bad either, but namecheap made email easy as well if needed. 5min setup for all.

Suu | GoHighLevel | Cold Email & Deliverability (@suezannn) reportedThe fix is easy.. - Buy a sending domain on Namecheap ($11/yr) - Setup GoogleWorkspace inbox on the domain ($7/mo) - Connect it to GHL via SMTP - Set your SPF/DKIM/DMARC records correctly - Warm it up for 3 weeks minimum before sending That's the setup no one tells you about...

Buciyo (@TheBuciyo) reported@md_kasif_uddin Namecheap, no contest. Transparent pricing, no renewal tricks, a clean dashboard, and the free WhoisGuard privacy alone is worth it. I've used others and always come back. Avoid GoDaddy — the upsells never end.
