@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.

@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.

@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.

@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

@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.

@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

@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.

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 @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

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

@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.

@_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.

@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

@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.
