๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐๐ฃ๐๐โโ๐พ๐บ๐ธ (@USS_Kearsarge_) reported@idxyllune To be honest I had no issues with namecheap so far, other than this one, but they did say there was a planned maintenance so...

Felix Guo (@felix_guo_daxia) reported@itsaaroshi Fr, straight honest answer: Cloudflare for DNS, management, and zero sketchy upsells.Porkbun & Cloudflare all the way.Porkbun for cheap, clean domain pricing + free privacy. Namecheap mid, Dynadot solid but UI clunky.Never touch GoDaddy (scammy upsells, overpriced). No cringe hidden fees, no forced add-ons, just simple domains.
-
Akinyinka-Emmanuel (@akinyinkemmauel) reportedI didnโt get paid for this. But @Namecheap customer service is one of the best Iโve experienced. Every time I ran into issues, they showed up immediately. Thatโs what people forget: Your value isnโt what you say. Itโs what customers consistently experience.
-
K S (@kj_kjato) reported@Namecheap Furthermore, I will explode that youโve never invested anything and immediately replied that claims are unfounded when clearly they are not. You donโt want me to expose you and your bullshit customer service.๐ก๐ก

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

John van Rijck (@John_ACW) reportedDoes @Namecheap pay their support team based on the amount of minutes they're in an active chat or what? Every support chat opens with: "Please allow me 10-12 minutes to check" Terrible support
-
The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@GLAsk1d @Namecheap I got one domain taken down, it was a different registrar though. Namecheap doesn't appear to want to play ball.

Kylobayd (@kylobtc) reported@John_ACW @Namecheap Good support shouldnโt feel this slow

Arsi Hoxha (@ArsiHoxha_) reported@adahstwt Namecheap for years then switched to Cloudflare and never looked back. no markup, no upsells, no drama ๐ซถ

Tung ๐ ๐ด โ (@Tng40234067) reportedImagine losing your online identity due to a registrar issue. This happens because centralized registrars like GoDaddy or Namecheap essentially rent domains to users, who have limited control over their ownership. If the registrar suspends, seizes, or loses the domain, the user is left with nothing. Doma Protocol solves this by tokenizing domains, allowing true ownership and transferability. * Tokenized domains are stored on-chain * Transferable without registrar involvement * Owners have full control over their assets This shift in domain ownership dynamics has significant implications for the future of online identities and assets. With a total network value of $27.52M and 48,421 wallets holding tokenized domains, the foundations of a new paradigm are being laid. A new era of digital ownership is unfolding. @domaprotocol @D3inc #Web3Domains

Nemo (@captn3m0) reportedSo 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.

Zayn Harris (@zayn_harris_dev) reportedIt hurts so much. ๐ฅฒ 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.
