    @brokertom Congrats Tom, on this launch ! Asking you for help: I have zero views on my domains listed for sale on @afternic/GoDaddy, but I get views for same domains on Namecheap, Spaceship. What could be the reason & what should I do to get views on @afternic/GoDaddy. Please help 🙏

    @baxiabhishek @Namecheap Name cheap is just that ! Cheap !! I’ve had a similar experience a year ago, and I never went back to them. Buy domains elsewhere and pay a wee bit more for peace of mind

    Thanks to @Namecheap for the quick action in suspending the fraudulent service.

    On this, social media is a powerful tool. I never tagged Namecheap support, but they sent me a mail offering to help address my issues. Figured I will be getting back my domain name. Good to know. And shoutout to the team at Namecheap whoever is in charge of support. That’s how you run a major company. Taking lessons from this as a founder.

    @Namecheap If there was a way to shut you guys down completely, I would probably loved to do that. Why should you guys allow bots to monitor and steal people's search after they're done searching for the availability of a certain name. That's frustrating.

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

  • jacobhartmannx
    Jacob Hartmann (@jacobhartmannx) reported

    @ethanjaack The few legacy sites in my portfolio are being converted to static builds with serverless backends... The biggest problem I have with Namecheap is moving hundreds of domains out to another provider with a reasonable API & Terraform provider.

    @melvynx Never had any issues with supabase, nor with namecheap. This is your typical "everything that has not been released in the last 6 months is trash" post. Embrace evolution over revolution.

  • ERP2009
    Eric Parfait (@ERP2009) reported

    @Namecheap are you having issues with Custom DNS? everytime I add nameservers, and hit the save button, I get "OOOPS! Something went wrong, please try again." What is going on with that?

  • anmol_biz
    Anmol Mishra (@anmol_biz) reported

    you’ll regret starting a new app with Supabase, so go with Firebase instead. Firebase Auth is making Clerk look like a bad choice. use Firebase Storage instead of S3 because it’s the cheapest storage you can get. Replace Namecheap for Spaceship. And please, just stop using MongoDB use Firebase Firestore

    @eth_limo @Cloudflare Same problem at @Namecheap

  • md_taqui_imam
    Taqui (@md_taqui_imam) reported

    If you start an app now, please don't use: 1. Supabase = you will regret it. → use Convex, Neon, Better-Auth instead 2. Clerk = this is the worst choice ever → use Better-Auth instead 3. Supabase Storage or AWS S3 → use Cloudflare R2, this is the cheapest you can have 4. Namecheap: laggy, buggy, boring → use Porkbun or Cloudflare 5. MongoDB = just don't

    @sarahskye @RWMaloneMD NameCheap Inc. Is the company name. Look above for domain name. Also its not related to X Corp, making it an issue.

    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

    @captn3m0 I got the same email from namecheap. .in domain never had allowed whois protection AFAIK but for some reason the domain contacts where all weird in namecheap. Had to manually correct it. Didn't know the domain would be suspended so soon. one week is too short a period for warning

  • captn3m0
    Nemo (@captn3m0) reported

    So found an email from namecheap from last week. Single email with a boring subject: "Reminder: Update your .IN contact details". But went through my invoices, and I've never bought whois guard for a .in domain. Namecheap doesn't let you afaik.
