Daniel Sunday (@Daniel_C_Sunday) reported@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.

Russ 🇺🇸 🦅 (@SoCalRuss1983) reported@sarahskye @RWMaloneMD NameCheap Inc. Is the company name. Look above for domain name. Also its not related to X Corp, making it an issue.

Tommy Thomas (@0xTommyThomas) reported@adahstwt I’ve been using Namecheap for a while now, generally good integrations with other apps which make it easy to use. Pork bun is pretty decent too Will never understand why godaddy is called godaddy lol Squarespace in my experience is the most annoying to deal with for domain management tbh
-
rodrigo (@_whiletruedo) reported@Namecheap thx for the heads up! I'll reach out the support. but don't be alarmed bc you're my first choice to buy domain sice ever! and I'll continue to buy!
-
puskevit (@0xpusk) reported@ImLunaHey well namecheap didn't snitch my domain but after i didn't renew it for a single day they immediately put it down and tried to resell it for 4 figures and they'd probably also snitch a domain aswell if they're doing that
-
Rahul Chhabrani (@RahulChhabrani) reported@pranay_wank @krupakotecha_ Never godaddy. they always upsells basic things. Namecheap, Spaceship, Porkbun are good.
-
Dusty Candland (@candland) reported@austinginder That's a crazy one! I've seen a number of bad things on GoDaddy as well. Generally try to get clients to move to PorkBun or NameCheap... I'll even help them for free!
-
AISuperHub (@aisuperhub) reported@ravikiran_dev7 Cloudflare Registrar for domains you plan to keep long term. They sell at cost with no markup. Namecheap for anything quick and cheap. GoDaddy only if you need phone support. Avoid renewing with GoDaddy though, the renewal prices are way higher than the initial promo.
-
allmylife (@bhabhiezayn) reported@namesilo @Namecheap NameSilo dead rate is 60%+ for fresh domains (0-6mo) — domains are born dead. Namecheap fresh domains are 25% dead (normal setup delay). This means NameSilo domains were never intended to be used.

Shubh Jain (@shubh19) reportedreal monthly infra cost of a solo SaaS in 2026: - Supabase free: ₹0 - Railway starter: ₹800 - Resend free (3K emails): ₹0 - Cloudflare free: ₹0 - UptimeRobot free: ₹0 - Sentry free (5K errors): ₹0 - PostHog free (1M events): ₹0 - Vercel hobby: ₹0 - Namecheap domain: ₹900/year - Anthropic API (light usage): ₹500–2K total: under ₹2,000/month the "I can't afford to build" excuse died in 2024. what's the real reason?

TelepathicPug (@TelepathicPug) reported@inf0stache Finding the "Icelandic Phallological Museum" in a privacy protected namecheap whois never fails to make me giggle
-
Sulik (@always_bulish) reported@Namecheap @DoppelHQ @cobie How can you just suspend domain without any warning or asking for explanation? Because you definitely do not have any proof of phishing, that’s for sure. Its an external bloody link tracked with my domain’s short URL. Have you even clicked on a link? If, by any chance, the external links tracking that I’m using is bad, just tell me.

Jyotiprakash Behera (@learnwidjp) reportedWorst experience with @GoDaddy support compared to other top domain registrars like @Namecheap and @Cloudflare. Reported serious fraud-related domains with evidence, but still no effective response or visible action on my complaints. Case IDs: DCU101299924 & DCU101300141.

LAZY YUT3 || Defi Scope (@MylesWRLD) reported.@Namecheap I think it's very funny how you guys have scammed me twice with two different accounts, and then making verification so difficult that almost every document I've submitted was not accepted. No problems though. My mistake for ever trying to work with you guys. This is very ****** service and I'll never patronize you any more.

ChiseledCactus | Analyst (@chiseledcactus) reported@deanelazab @YayJayBae Hello! If it helps, it looks like it's running via cloudflare servers, and registered via "Namecheap". It still lists "Mediadroid LTD UK", with a "Jonathan hassall, but was dissolved a while back, so this is all sorts of shady. I imagine twitch and YouTube wouldn't be too happy with them continuously scraping content and causing issues, yeah? But is that even an option to try and rally to them?
-
Álvaro Trigo 🐦🔥 (@IMAC2) reported@levelsio Yeah moving all my domains to Cloudflare too. Namecheap ui and price sucks now .
-
The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@RealTripleA I know exactly what happened. I cc'd the "host" and they took it down to prevent Namecheap from seeing it. Won't give them the heads up next time.
-
Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reported@Namecheap upon checking my hosting list there was nothing, talking to support they say that i have been refunded stellar, but there is no confirmation email of that. hmm, on the domain they said it was put on auction and i cant access it or recover it

Sharat MR (@cosmos_genius) reported@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

Alex (@alexprintss) reportedHow I book 18 calls/week with medical clinic owners without cold calling. Here's the exact system: 1. Buy 3 domains on Namecheap for $30 total 2. Set up email accounts on each domain using Google Workspace 3. Warm the inboxes for 10 days in Instantly before sending anything 4. Build a list of 500 med spas and cosmetic clinics in Apollo filtering by employee count 5-50 5. Scrape owner/marketing director emails using Apollo's verified contacts 6. Write a 4-email sequence: intro with pattern interrupt, case study, social proof, last chance 7. Keep subject lines under 4 words and body copy under 60 words per email 8. Send 50 emails per day per domain, 150 total daily volume 9. Space follow-ups 3 days apart 10. Route positive replies into GHL for automated booking 11. Use Cal to let them pick times that sync with my actual calendar 12. Qualify in the booking form: revenue, current marketing spend, decision maker status 13. No-shows get an auto-sequence offering to reschedule once 14. Track everything in a Make dashboard pulling data from Instantly and GHL This books 15-20 calls weekly at a 35% show rate. i break down systems like this daily. follow along.

Michael Knight (@michaelmknight) reported@cPanel Hi, I upgraded from ImunifyAV+ to Imunify360. I’m now being asked for a license key. I wasn’t provided one and I can’t find a key anywhere in your Client Area and under Orders/Licenses. Your support states to contact Namecheap and is sending me around in circles, but it's nothing to do with them as I purchased the upgrade from you and I can't send a support ticket. Any help would be appreciated.

Zarv (@zarvxbt) reportedgm everyone you can ship a full startup from your bedroom and nobody can tell you otherwise > claude writes the code > supabase handles your backend+database > vercel deploys it > clerk does auth > stripe takes payments > resend sends emails > cloudflare covers DNS > pinecone for vectors > upstash for redis > posthog tracks everything > sentry catches your errors > namecheap for the domain > github ties it all together zero office zero team zero excuses it's not that deep bro

Springblade 🇺🇸 (@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 violations—not 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 everywhere—Namecheap bans them outright; Cloudflare least aggressive.
