  4L.com (@4Ldotcom) reported 6 minutes ago

  @Dynadot, please allow users to download filtered domain lists from your marketplace without logging in. Right now, when someone clicks the "Download" button, the file is not downloaded. Instead, the user is sent to another page and asked to enter a login and password. All domains are already visible to users who are not logged in. They can also collect the data directly from the page by showing 1,000 results per page. However, it would be much easier if users could download a list based on their selected filters. This would also reduce unnecessary load on your website. Another option is to provide a public link with all marketplace domains in CSV format, similar to Namecheap. The file could be updated every 30-60 minutes.

  @Rian_Visser @Namecheap Rian....worlds best company use Cloudflare for security and speed....if you don't use that's OK....I use Cloudflare CDN for almost every project....I don't have any issue...and why I will pay extra price in renewal charges, if I renew in same flat prices...

  it costs about $21/month to run what could become a multi-million dollar startup • human brain = reasoning (free) • claude = coding ($20/mo) • supabase = backend (free) • vercel = deployment (free) • namecheap = domain ($12/yr) • stripe = payments (2.9%/trx) • github = versioning (free) • resend = email (free) • clerk = auth (free) • cloudflare = DNS (free) • posthog = analytics (free) • sentry = error tracking (free) • upstash = redis (free) • pinecone = vector DB (free) everything sums up to roughly $20 to $25 per month so, the tools are not the barrier anymore. most ideas don’t fail because they’re expensive to build. they fail because they never get built at all. what’s stopping you?

  @Namecheap you guys have a really messed up bug. Since the support person doesnt know when its fixed im asking here. When you buy a domain like my—-domain.com (with three „-“ inside) you arent able to manage anything of the domain the page just says „ups“… please fix this 🙏🏽

  @prbhtkumr @Namecheap @snigdhasur Went through the Snigdha Sur case, it looks like there is some legality issue with their domain being used in India. Will read more to understand before making any judgement. Ps - I use namecheap for my website domain and it has worked great for me.

  It doesn't matter how great your content or product is if your audience never sees it. ​The fix requires updating your technical security keys inside your domain host (like @GoDaddy or @Namecheap) so providers know you are a trusted sender.

  @robintel And also IONOS was abysmal for setting up DNS stuff (this is partly on Google/Firebase though), never had this issue with namecheap DNS

  @Namecheap Namecheap used to offer easy choices between 3rd party, now it's all convoluted. I have some research to do. Perhaps a service that doesn't outsource their tech support with people that don't know anything, except how to search a database. Adios, farewell.

  @Namecheap @digitalocean To be clear, I released the IP address as part of winding things down. I just finally noticed it got recycled

  @_swanand vaguely familiar with dns enough to get my work done. Had added Custom vercel DNS on namecheap (now that i open namecheap and see). Did this few months ago so no recollection except i dont remember having issues with it. Have two custom domains added on Vercel.

  @vivekteega @Namecheap @snigdhasur hey i'm glad that it has worked for you, i doubt most people using such a well known service for standard domain holding would have much issues. but namecheap has made a life long hater out of me and i would do my best to divert any and all business to better alternatives.

  Rian (@Rian_Visser) reported 35 minutes ago

  @ItsKamranK You must use Cloudflare's nameservers for any domain registered or transferred through Cloudflare Registrar. No support for IDNs. No thank you, I do not have these restrictions and limitations with @Namecheap and will happily pay the increased fee to have control over my domain.

  @scheemunai @spaceship @Dynadot Pricing is the biggest factor (spaceship is owned by namecheap - but pricing is much better), better UX and both of these support MCP and API access so they are agent friendly :)

  @Namecheap I've just about had it with Namecheap. My email/Roundcube is suddenly unsecure, and attempting to log into Namecheap, I'm asked to provide a code you sent to my email, which I cannot open! I've never seen this error before, so at least you're keeping it suspenseful.

  @YouTube @Restreamio @Namecheap One of the other things snaking MCN owners can do is enforced "content standardization" on videos in their network ... even if they HIJACKED the channel into it and even if the video is uploaded to another account. Which they have obviously done on this video

  @defi_oasis @katerleonid I would really love to connect - discuss. How many have Namecheap done this to? You can't host minimum bid, no reserve auctions and cancel the winning bid when the bid is met & you don't like the final bid price - then reauction the domain. NC is based in Arizona. @AZAGMayes

  @Namecheap #namecheap lost a thousands of dollars today due to bad business. They refused to refund a purchase they made a mistake on. This violates a sacred covenant between business & customer. They are unethical and have forgotten what it means to appreciate a customer.#ethics

  AgentNirmites (@agentNirmites) reported 53 minutes ago

  I received my first cold email. This guy has a marketing technique, let me show you. It depends on your customer base (your market), but here is an overall idea. So, this guy provides social media marketing, website building, app building services. And he found me via ... My domain name! My domain has nothing hosted on it, but still... So, this guy seems to be scraping a whole bunch of social media accounts, reddit profiles, and subreddits too. So, he has 1000s (or even 10k s) of domain names listed. Now comes the magic part. He found contact details of all those domain names' owners. How? Every Domain Provider company like NameCheap @Namecheap (my favorite), (Square Space) @squarespace , Go Daddy (@GoDaddy ), and so on. All of they are, by law (by ICANN), required to allow people to contact domain owners via a web form. So, this guy has to just fill a web form to get to any domain owner. And for any reason, if you have a domain, you are doing something with it, if not, then you had an intention to do something... So, he fills all those web forms to get to the owners, (probably written by AI, or manually). In other words, he is kinda sending a cold email to all the potential customers. Good Trick, isn't it? You just need to find where your potential customers hangout, and somehow get their contact details. A lot of places require contact information, and they show it publicly, like Domain Name providers. Just fill a web form, run ollama qwen models to write the email too. For free. (BTW Qwen models are my favorite!) If you're a freelancer, doing marketing or web building, what are you waiting for? If you're a software engineer, go get your clients...

  @Namecheap apologies for the false statement. I got emails from you with refunds for the domain subscription and jumped to conclusions Turns out... the IP I got from @digitalocean for hosting got re-allocated to a different project. Updating records with NC's Basic DNS to fix

  GitHub — version control (free) Claude — coding ($20/mo) Namecheap — domain ($12/yr) Cloudflare — DNS (free) Vercel — deploy (free) Clerk — auth (free) Supabase — backend + database (free) Upstash — Redis (free) Pinecone — vector DB (free) Resend — emails (free) Stripe — payments (2.9% per transaction) PostHog — analytics (free) Sentry — error tracking (free) Total cost to run a startup: ~$20/month No servers. No DevOps team. No funding required. Just an idea and WiFi. There has never been a cheaper time to build. 🚀 Today is the best time to bet on yourself and build the things ⭐

  If you want to build a startup that actually has users: Claude = coding. (more like $100+) Supabase = backend. ($25-599/mo once you cross free tier) Vercel = deploying. ($20-150+/mo once you get real traffic) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr, ok this one's real) Stripe = payments. (2.9% + 30¢/transaction) GitHub = version control. (free) Resend = emails. (free until 3k emails, then $20/mo+) Clerk = auth. (free until 10k MAU, then $25/mo+) Cloudflare = DNS. (free, genuinely) PostHog = analytics. (free until you cross the free tier) Sentry = error tracking. (free until errors pile up) Upstash = Redis. (free until real traffic) Pinecone = vector DB. ($70/mo minimum) Total monthly cost to run a startup with actual users: $300-1000+ "$21/mo" is the cost to run a demo nobody uses.
