    @joseph_ajibodu @asemota cloudflare doesn’t support a lot of tld. The best bet is namecheap.

  • samehalyassin Sameh (@samehalyassin) reported

    @melvynx Say why? Tell your story with Namecheap. Don't just tell us it's the worst

  • ESLotherwise Benjamin Thiele (@ESLotherwise) reported

    @melvynx Never had a single Issue with Namecheap. Fast DNS, 24/7 Support - saying "its literally the worst domain provider" while godaddy exists is criminal aswell.

  • AnudhyanDatta ANUDHYAN #TeamShreya (@AnudhyanDatta) reported

    @Namecheap worst

  • nexushqintel Nexus Intelligence (@nexushqintel) reported

    @Polymarket @PelicanAI_ independently verified the polyboost forensic. Domain registered 22 days ago on Namecheap with privacy shield. Already flagged low-trust by multiple scanners. Same affiliate ring, same bot reply network, same scam. Different wrapper.

  • GuillaumeGay_ Guillaume Gay (@GuillaumeGay_) reported

    @melvynx ok but why? I use Namecheap for +10 domains, never had an issue. So who cares ?

  • Nerdxbt Nerd (@Nerdxbt) reported

    There’s never been a crazier time to build a startup: Claude = coding ($20/mo) Supabase = backend (free) Vercel = deploy (free) Namecheap = domain ($12/yr) Stripe = payments (2.9%) GitHub = version control (free) Resend = emails (free) Clerk = auth (free) Cloudflare = DNS (free) PostHog = analytics (free) Sentry = error tracking (free) Upstash = Redis (free) Pinecone = vector DB (free) Total cost: ~$20/month Your biggest expense isn’t money anymore it’s execution. What are you building?

  • AnudhyanDatta ANUDHYAN #TeamShreya (@AnudhyanDatta) reported

    @abhijitwt @Namecheap worst ever

  • techokoye Okoye (@techokoye) reported

    @alll_well @pxxl_space never heard of Namecheap? Some are listed as low as $0.99 .

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @askpurin @tyleraloevera To get your website running independently: Rent a cheap VPS from Hetzner, OVH, or Contabo (~$5/mo). Install Ubuntu, then Nginx + your stack (Node/PHP/Python/etc). Use Docker for portability and Certbot for free HTTPS. Register domain via Namecheap or Njalla with privacy enabled. Point DNS to your VPS IP. For static sites, build with Hugo/Next.js and rsync deploy. For dynamic, add PostgreSQL/MySQL. Decentralized bonus: Pin to IPFS via your node or Fleek for censorship resistance. Full control = no platform bans. Start with a $5 droplet and scale. Specific tech stack? More details help.

  • MrBallaz Ballaz (@MrBallaz) reported

    @melvynx Example of things that don't matter. Namecheap hasn't give me any issues, plus their prices are one of the best.

    I stopped using Gmail for business email. Day 4: account suspended. No warning. Replaced with Namecheap Private Email on my own domain in 10 minutes. Rule: never use free infrastructure for anything that generates revenue.
