    @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

    I’ve usually had very good experiences with @Namecheap and their customer service but today I have been on with a live agent for more than 30 mins and they can’t resolve my issue after wasting my time they are now transferring me to a different department. SMH

    Goodbye SquareSpace. Finally! I've hated having my wife's site on Squarespace. Some consultant set her up with it and I never had the patience to move it. On Sunday I told Claude Code to copy her site to a free @Cloudflare acount. Then I told Claude's Chrome plugin to figure out how to tell NameCheap where to point the domain. So satisfying.

    How to setup an online business doing $1k a day revenue in 30 days: Step 1: Register a business and get a biz bank account. If you’re in Canada, use Ownr. If you’re incorporating in the US, use LegalZoom or Bizee. Step 2: Setup a business email address with Namecheap, connect it to Gmail and sort out tax registration (GST/HST in Canada, EIN for the US) 3: Choose your niche, build your one person offer and price it for an easy yes. A rough example: “I help local gym owners get 10-20 new member leads using meta ads in 30 days or less for $500 a month” 4. Setup your ad account and launch your one-person ad. Rough example: “Attention Toronto gym owners, are your ads getting clicks but no members? Most gym ads fail because of xyz. I help gym owners get x qualified signups using this. Click to watch this 3 minute video showing how it works” 5. Send the traffic to a landing page with the VSL that has these 3 components: a headline mirroring the ad, a short video speaking about the problem, and a link to book a call. 6. Get on a call and ask these 4 questions: where’s your business right now? What have you tried so far? If we solved this like this, what would that look like for you? Here’s how we’ll solve this bottle neck….” and then present your offer. It’s not easy but it is simple; don’t over complicate it. Do this and get to $1k a day within 30 days. You want my help setting this up? Send a DM.

    Interesting side-fact: they say the issue was about DNSSEC. However, in contrast to .com, @Namecheap doesn't let me configure DNSSEC for .de domains (not because of the current issue but generally). @grok does DENIC use a different layer/method of DNSSEC that doesn't allow configuring it on the registry level?

    @not_puppycat ugh no idea i just bought the domain from namecheap.. do u know how i can fix it ;-;

    @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?

    Unverified conspiracy theory: GoDaddy holds all these inactive domains through a shell company so they can charge finders fees and commission to “find” the owner of the domain, themselves Namecheap would never stoop to such loser levels

  • cstcksa

    @Namecheap Unfortunately, we have had an extremely poor experience with the current hosting provider. Despite multiple attempts to communicate through email and official support channels, we have received no response regarding our inquiries, technical support requests, or account management matters. The complete lack of communication and customer support has caused significant operational difficulties and has negatively affected the management of our website and educational platform. This level of service raises serious concerns about the provider's reliability, professionalism, and commitment to its contractual obligations. We respectfully request an immediate response to our pending requests and a prompt resolution of all outstanding issues. If the company is unable or unwilling to provide the required support, we request full cooperation in transferring the hosting account and related services to an alternative provider without further delay.

    @namecheapceo123 I used Namebase (owned by @Namecheap) to manage my funds. Three months ago, you sold the platform without notifying your clients. Since Namecheap sold the platform, I have lost access to my funds, and this issue has now been ongoing for more than three months.

    @adahstwt Namecheap for years then switched to Cloudflare and never looked back. no markup, no upsells, no drama 🫶

    @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

    @chrisjfranko @Namecheap Seriously, I pick today to change MX records and this thing has been down for hours.

    @BacLeodiv Everyone hates on Godaddy but I e been there 20 years and only had one major issue related to their migration in the early 2010s. Hundreds of domains and 40ish customers. No complaints. I also use the others. Namecheap is up and down on their support. Cloudflare I thought of as expensive. But honestly they all are now.

  • WebsitesWp
    WP Websites (@WebsitesWp) reported

    @TTrimoreau None. *Godaddy-pricy, had market place problems. *Hostinger+cloudflare-wouldnt use, not their niche *Namesilo-had major security incident, noone cared. *namecheap-not cheap, cluttered UI, intrusive upsells *spaceship-cheaper than internetbs, terrible UI

    What tools do I need to start? You usually need a domain, hosting, professional website, clear service pages, founder profile, testimonials, analytics, business email, payment route, content plan, and strong WhatsApp or contact funnel. Tools like Namecheap, DreamHost, Hostinger, Geegpay, ClickMeeting, and CartFlows can support the system when used with a clear strategy.

    @rozzabuilds usually buy from registrar first, then use a registrar-agnostic service like cloudflare for namecheap or google domains. don't need another middleman between me and my registrars

    @nalinrajput23 I have tried namecheap and GoDaddy both but I never understood what is the difference between buying it from each

    Waking up to @Namecheap being down is not how I wanted to finish off my weekend. I've never seen an outage like this before with them!

  • TomoLifeUpdates
    Tomodachi Life Updates (@TomoLifeUpdates) reported

    @Namecheap We'd appreciate it if your abuse team could take a look at tomodachilife[.]gg and tomoez[.]com (X has flagged both domains in posts already). We've received multiple reports from users who believed these sites were associated with an official web version/port of Nintendo's Tomodachi Life. The sites appear to be hosting a CAPTCHA scam disguised as an in-game Tomodachi Life menu, using Nintendo's branding and trademark in a way that may mislead users. A separate domain hosting the same scam, tomodachilife[.]cc, has already been taken down following reports. Could someone from your team review these domains and their operators or direct us to the appropriate reporting channel?

    @matthansbello Sigh, everything was originally done on namecheap but I’ve now just moved the dns to cloudflare. Waiting to see if that fixes the issue

  • milanm_
    Milan (@milanm_) reported

    @levelsio @Cloudflare I don't like Namecheap neither (their DNS setup sometimes causes my browser to freeze). But so far all domain providers I tried were generally ****, so I kind of made peace with the fact that they all suck. Why is @Cloudflare different?

    FYI I won't be able to talk on Matrix for a while, because namecheap seems to be down and doesn't want to update their DNS with my new ip address... I guess I will need to make a server on discord after all

    My domain has become too expensive I can't afford it (it wasn't that much when I bought it in 2023, it's getting expensive with each year) soo, I'm thinking of switching domains, and using cloudflare this time not namecheap but I'm gonna lose all my seo progress damn, idk what do you think guys?

    @namemaxicom @NamePros @Namecheap Haha didn't mean to be rude! I use your tool religiously and have made 7 figures from flips on it, was just pointing it out.
