Springblade πΊπΈ (@steveMmattison) reported@LotusPeptideCom @PeptideSupplyCo From Grok Expert: Compare & contrast Hostinger and Namecheap domain registrars to Cloudflare. I've heard Hostinger and Namecheap are quick to suspend websites for little reason. What's the truth about suspended websites, and does it happen very much on Cloudflare. Specifically for Peptide selling sites.Hostinger/Namecheap vs Cloudflare Registrar: Hostinger/Namecheap: Cheap initial domains + hosting bundles; quick suspensions for abuse, phishing reports (often false), WHOIS issues, or illegal content. Namecheap explicitly bans "illegal pharmacy/controlled substances." Cloudflare: Registrar + DNS/proxy only (no hosting); at-cost renewals, top security/DNS; suspensions rare, only for legal/TOS violationsβnot quick content takedowns. Suspensions truth (esp. peptides): Common on Hostinger (phishing/abuse complaints); some on Namecheap for pharmacy-like sites. Rare on Cloudflare. Peptides (unapproved drugs) carry high risk everywhereβNamecheap bans them outright; Cloudflare least aggressive.

fiveoverfive (@notfiveoverfive) reported@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.

Zayn Harris (@zayn_harris_dev) reportedIt hurts so much. π₯² Sharing pitfalls encountered when using Cloudflare @CloudflareHelp domain services + Vercel @vercel wildcard domain configuration: If you have developed a SaaS service and configured a wildcard domain to Vercel's domain configuration, and you are using Cloudflare's domain services, you cannot configure the name server to Vercel. The solution is: if you are using a wildcard domain to provide product services, do not use Cloudflare. Be aware when migrating from other domain services such as namesilo, namecheap, etc., to Cloudflare. Because after migrating, you can only migrate out after 60 days.

Guillaume Gay (@GuillaumeGay_) reported@melvynx ok but why? I use Namecheap for +10 domains, never had an issue. So who cares ?

Hari Prasad (@booleanbeyondIN) reported@CiCorpAfrica Hey @CiCorpAfrica, got it. Do you prefer Hostinger/Namecheap over GoDaddy because of price or support? Just wondering since I keep using GoDaddy for renewals... hate the interface but it works.

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