  Shipping SnappyName v2 this week It's a terrible business idea. I know > Saturated category. Every major registrar has a domain names generator > Most are free > The main keyword "domain name generator" is locked by GoDaddy, Namecheap, Shopify, Hostinger, etc > Domain buying is impulsive. Decisions happen in seconds > Naming is emotional, not rational. The heart picks, not the spreadsheet that tells you what to buy > The average buyer registers 1-2 domains a year. No recurrence, no LTV > The good .coms are gone. Result quality degrades structurally every year So why am I shipping it anyway? 1/ All existing domain name generators are rotten... I think everyone agrees with me on this! 2/ It can still make $200-500/month. Not life-changing. But a real, if modest, cash stream 3/ It's a sellable asset. Even at $300/month, that's a $3-4K exit 4/ This is my first SaaS that I developed 100% on my own and bootstrapped. No more fundraising of hundreds K€ and a technical team of 10 devs behind me. That's the most important thing, I'm very proud of what I've built myself 💪 So, I ship v2 this week and we'll see what happens!

  @Namecheap @DoppelHQ @cobie I did, two hours ago. Then tried to talk to the live support but they told me they can't continue talking to me because it's under legal now.

  @tomilola_ng @timithechef I’ve used hostinger way back in 19/20, Dreamhost VPS 22/23. I stuck with namecheap for their customer support. It’s the best & cheapest.

  Cloudflare Registrar sells domains at cost and they make zero profit on domain registration. It's a loss leader to get you on their platform. That's why the renewal price never spikes. Namecheap's first-year discount is a customer acquisition trick; the real price is the renewal. Agree?

  Longevity World Cup is temporarily unavailable due to a @Namecheap hosting network incident affecting hosted websites and accounts. We’re monitoring the situation and will be back online once connectivity is restored.

  @BTCUFO It’s really **** that @Namecheap don’t let users list .ai domain names on their platform

  Day 63/365 Headache of a day. Found out wix plays terribly with third parties. Went down a rabbit hole and ended up with a very tedious process to get away from wix. Learned that if you’re going to buy a domain, do it from namecheap unless you plan on using a wix-created site.

  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..

  I’ve usually had very good experiences with @Namecheap and their customer service but today I have been on with a live agent for more than 30 mins and they can’t resolve my issue after wasting my time they are now transferring me to a different department. SMH

  I have several website issues today, since I switched to @Namecheap from @GoDaddy & GLAD I DID! Took less than 5 min to assess the issue with NC. GD would have me on hold for 1-4 hours, AND STILL NOT FIX ANYTHING! Bob Parsons would be ashamed! Global CPanel/WHM outage.

  Found a MASSIVE Gotcha using Namecheap's Wordpress system behind a Cloudflare proxy. Editors can't login! Can't seem to fix!

  i remember the first time I bought domain on NameCheap the first thing I did in 10 minutes - transferred domain to CloudFlare luckily to me it was .com - so no issues with that

  @Namecheap I have a problem with you and the technical support is not helping me!! My domain I want to put it up for sale but through auction but the platform doesn't even allow it even they don't provide the simplest info about the platform/partner that can be used as a broker!

  Ok so I found @Namecheap @namecheapceo123 has .ai backorder service. But they can’t be the only one, can they? 🤔

  jaseeey (@jaseeey) reported 49 minutes ago

  @Codebender_Cate Noooooo! The GoDaddy control panel is terrible and slow. I have a few domains there because Namecheap doesn't support all of the TLDs that I use. However, I'm certainly not disagreeing with the prices, it feels like the recent increases have been quite steep...

• 
  Hari Prasad (@hari__prasadd) reported 49 minutes ago

  CF is the best place to buy domains. Comes with ddoss protection + many other cool features. Hodtinger is best if you want good price. GoDaddy is by far the worst place they will try to upsell you useless things. Namecheap has a terrible DX but good prices. Try spaceship too

  @Namecheap Why don't I got access to my funds for over 3 months? Why is @Namecheap support ignoring me?

  Dusty Candland (@candland) reported 55 minutes ago

  @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!

  @namecheapceo123 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.
