  • alispahic_dev Mirza Alispahic (@alispahic_dev) reported

    @khushiirl I eould say Vercel or netlify. Namecheap gets a lot of hate recently as they are suing one of their customers, there is a lot of drama around that. I would never go with godaddy as they are known to increase the prices a lot over the years.

  • xmperor91 Xmperor91 (@xmperor91) reported

    @uzair_dev_ Right now, Godaddy. But realise it's dashboard and speed network are like ****. might change domain services provider. Either Spaceship, Namecheap or Cloud flare.

  • AshwinFTW Ashwin (@AshwinFTW) reported

    @uzair_dev_ Godaddy sucks, first-hand experience. Settled on porkbun. Namecheap is good as well. Never tried hostinger

  • free_falestina if i dont it steal some else gonnna steal it. (@free_falestina) reported

    @Namecheap Never buy name cheap is aiding the genocide.

  • liangWeiChen321 Liang-wei Chen (@liangWeiChen321) reported

    @Namecheap Worst customer service ever @namecheap

  • nekwasar Nekwasa R. (@nekwasar) reported

    @uzair_dev_ would NEVER buy on GoDaddy. They are unnecessarily expensive. No1 go-to is hostinger and namecheap

  • Andrewiic Andrew Mancic (@Andrewiic) reported

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO A customer facing terminal illness diagnosis and preoccupied with such hardship. I had an accidental renewal while focused on my medical situation and the support refused to refund funds, needed for my medical expenses. There were 0 words of empathy.

  • liangWeiChen321 Liang-wei Chen (@liangWeiChen321) reported

    @Namecheap Don’t use Name cheap cos they take 3 days to attend to you and maybe 1-2 months to fix any issue you might have

  • knowRowan Rowan (@knowRowan) reported

    @yashhq_22 Godaddy? Dont they try to upsell you like crazy? Namecheap , ive never heard any complaints

  • boxxa boxxa (@boxxa) reported

    Vibecoding has 10x my domain buying now. A habit I had slowed down on when I have a bunch of abandoned ones in my Namecheap account.

  • faelorii fae (@faelorii) reported

    @Porkbun Namecheap support Zionist. So far from my research I haven’t seen you guys support them. I’d rather pay extra knowing a ceo doesnt support slaughter. Yes. It’s that deep.

  • atomtanstudio Rich (@atomtanstudio) reported

    @uzair_dev_ NameCheap for more than 10 years. They have never done me wrong.

  • matthew_inamdar Matthew Inamdar (@matthew_inamdar) reported

    @Swizec I had auto renew on namecheap and it never worked. Got so sick of the problem every year I eventually shifted it all out to Route53

  • unfiltered_ajit Ajit Gupta (@unfiltered_ajit) reported

    @kunal__23 I bought one then it got rejected by namecheap with some internal issues after 3 day

  • AngelofVerdant Brian Kepha (@AngelofVerdant) reported

    @shadrac_matata @TNCG_Official Hii ni namecheap, usually they suspend the the account when they flag something suspicious like unusually high CPU or network usage to protect other customers on shared hosting from effects of noisy neighbour

  • LikhonTamim Tamim Likhon (@LikhonTamim) reported

    @manixcodes I love namecheap its customer service support is top notch

  • genwinRahul Rahul G (@genwinRahul) reported

    @uzair_dev_ Namecheap for the first one. Cloudflare for everything after. GoDaddy had its moment 15 years ago. Now they're the Comcast of domain registrars - you stay because migrating is painful, not because the service is good. The real move: buy through Cloudflare at cost, skip the upsell circus, and actually own your domain without the renewal tax creeping up every year.

  • doronvermaat Doron Vermaat (@doronvermaat) reported

    It's been there from day 1 - and we have never sneaked it in or hidden it in any way. Saw, Atom, Sedo, etc. all charge these types of fees; it's not exactly a secret. GD and Namecheap have an advantage here because they receive preferential rates on credit card payments due to their size. The goal of this post is also to open to conversation and suggestions like yours, which are great, and I appreciate them.

  • merlindru merlin (@merlindru) reported

    @scoopdiddy1 @Swizec @Namecheap whoa! what? thats good to know. i had no idea. my bad.

  • _dannydlg Danny DLG (@_dannydlg) reported

    @uzair_dev_ Namecheap, super simple and never had an issue

  • scoopdiddy1 scoopdiddyoop (@scoopdiddy1) reported

    @merlindru @Swizec @Namecheap i wouldn't get too mad at namecheap. I think there's a recent change at icann (2024) that brought the mandatory number down to 30 days. these things change a lot. not 100% sure though

  • satyamkashyapp satyam (@satyamkashyapp) reported

    **** namecheap, 2x'd my price for renewal for no apparent reason. switched to cloudflare and they got me the hitherto agreed price. thanks @theo

  • Castello_Bros Castello Brothers (@Castello_Bros) reported

    @Lordomainer @GoDaddy @afternic Well, that strategy is not working. Their stock is crashing and, last month, NameCheap / Spaceship had more registrations. What they have in their favor is massive brand power, but even that is finite as Yahoo discovered when they owned search and allowed Google to lap them.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @_Adithya_n_g @uzair_dev_ Here's a quick 2026 comparison of GoDaddy, Hostinger, Dynadot, and Namecheap for domain registration (based on recent reviews from Forbes, Reddit, etc.): - **Pricing**: Hostinger cheapest intro (.com $0.01/yr first), Namecheap promo $6.79/yr. Dynadot/GoDaddy ~$10-15/yr intro; renewals higher for all (~$15-20/yr). - **Features**: All offer privacy, transfers. Namecheap/Dynadot praised for clean UI; GoDaddy for auctions/bulk; Hostinger bundles hosting. - **Support**: Namecheap/Hostinger 24/7 strong; Dynadot reliable; GoDaddy mixed (upsells noted). - **Best for**: Budget - Hostinger/Namecheap; Simplicity - Dynadot; Scale - GoDaddy.

    @Console_Hax @MickeySinghRana He's not wrong. I'm paying for a domain and shared server with Namecheap. **** isn't cheap

  • dan_j_ford Dan (@dan_j_ford) reported

    @Shpigford @Namecheap Had to buy a premium domain off GoDaddy and their UI is so bad. All just built to extract more money out of you rather than actually help. Planning to transfer to Cloudflare to join the rest of my domains

  • philipCocce Philip Cocce (@philipCocce) reported

    @Namecheap I wouldn’t advice anyone to use @namecheap, they have the worst customer service in the history of mankind and unless your business isn’t important to you, don’t use them.

  • jbzale Jb (@jbzale) reported

    @apkmoder @Namecheap registrars dont have to take down non dns abuse content and icann doesnt have authority over cctlds like . to

  • marklynchdev Mark Lynch (@marklynchdev) reported

    @RhysSullivan @mrcrp96 damn, you're as bad as namecheap

  • SteveAJ777 777 (@SteveAJ777) reported

    I would rather pay for a bad *** server from @Namecheap and use my brain for what it is actually intended for.
