  @neerajjj6785 Really depends on what you're using it for and where your stuff will be hosted. If you're using a platform like AWS then buying it through them can save you some headaches down the line. Otherwise I've always used Namecheap but heard good things about Cloudflare.

  @AxxessInternet @WordPress I want to move my hosting from @Namecheap after 12 years to someone in South Africa, but it must have good international bandwith support bandwidth

  3/7 - The bold part was zero-confirmation delivery. A Bitcoin payment isn't settled until miners include it in a block, roughly 10 minutes at best. Most merchants waited for one to six confirmations. Namecheap activated your purchase the moment the transaction hit the network.

  @TheRuqayyah Log into your domain provider dashboard eg namecheap, godaddy. Then fix the dns records.

  @Namecheap The part where I type a postal code, and just because there's a space (which your JS should be able to verify is irrelevant) the form goes "FIX THIS VALUE IT IS WRONG" when in fact no, it is not: validate _after_ removing semantically irrelevant characters.

  @anupamrjp I'd probably stick with Namecheap. They've been reliable for me and the support is solid.

  @digitalocean y’all left my company in a lurch, and now I’m looking to shift. Overpriced droplets in my opinion, horrible support, unless you’re paying $999 a month, in my opinion and a lack of uptime stability on smaller tiers in my opinion. @Namecheap VPS is lookin good.

  Domayn Kapital (@domaynkapital) reported 34 minutes ago

  @Namecheap every few weeks there's a domain I win with non-working namerservers. 3-4 times in the last months. I contact support and they tell gaslight me telling me it's all fine. Waste 30 minutes until they call a specialist to fix it. Please deal with this.

  After using @Namecheap's service for well over a decade, they've decided to raise my rates. I'm pretty disappointed. Are there any other good hosting providers that are low cost? I've already tried GoDaddy and their service was trash.

  $GDDY can sell you a .com. Namecheap can sell you a .com. Squarespace can sell you a .com. None of them runs .com. $VRSN does. Verisign operates the registry underneath them, the infrastructure that keeps track of registered .com domains and where they point in DNS. Thousands of companies compete for the customer. One company operates the layer underneath the market. The Backbone, Part 1 A new series on the businesses underneath the systems everyone else depends on.

  @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.

  Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported 50 minutes ago

  5/7 - Bitcoin users already trusted Namecheap. In December 2011 it turned GoDaddy's SOPA support into "Move Your Domain Day," welcoming thousands of transferred domains and donating over $100,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Its base was the crowd asking for Bitcoin.

  Be careful with @Namecheap. They have poor customer service and extremely strict refund policies. Even when they make an error, they’ll fight you on giving a refund and try to lowball you with a tiny credit. Just a heads up. #namecheap

  @Samaytwt GoDaddy is the absolute worst. Jacked-up prices and terrible customer experience. For a while I thought GoDaddy’s higher prices get you a better experience overall but NO! Namecheap is a good deal and it has great customer EXP. Have been working with them for several yrs now.

  @vivekteega @prbhtkumr @Namecheap Just so folks know their rights, a domain provider can’t shut down your domain globally without a proper court order, especially if you’re running a legitimate business. That’s why we won our TRO (temporary restraining order) to get it back
