  Ok so I found @Namecheap @namecheapceo123 has .ai backorder service. But they can’t be the only one, can they? 🤔

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

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

  Note to @Namecheap: When I ask for support because your stuff isn't working, I want you to fix it, not say "yeah, we looked, it's us not you, you should try these things and let us know if you doing our job for us doesn't work, so THEN maybe we'll do what you're paying us for."

  @Namecheap @DoppelHQ @cobie I did, two hours ago. Then tried to talk to the live support but they told me they can't continue talking to me because it's under legal now.

  @Namecheap are you having issues with Custom DNS? everytime I add nameservers, and hit the save button, I get "OOOPS! Something went wrong, please try again." What is going on with that?

  I never had a domain registrar who was easy to work with. They always upsell things, bloat you with all kind of **** you don't ever need, while the basic things don't work. Just now, Namecheap - I can not see the host value without entering edit mode. If I enter edit mode to see it, I can not cancel, I only have save or delete options. Horrible interface. And, even better, the page froze browser tab a few times, I had to kill the page and reopen. Is it really that hard?

  @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.

  @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.

  Domains aren’t expensive… bad registrars are. Use these instead: Cloudflare Namecheap Porkbun Save money → invest in building.

  Let me tell you something about ownership that the traditional internet never gave you. Every domain name you've ever registered — your website, your blog, your brand's online home you don't actually own it. You're renting it. You pay GoDaddy, Namecheap and Google Domains. Every single year. Miss a payment? Forget to renew? Your domain expires. Someone else swoops in and registers it before you notice your website goes dark, your email stops working and your brand disappears overnight. This is the reality of "owning" a domain name on the traditional internet. You're not an owner. You're a tenant. And the landlord always wins. SNS (@sns) said no to all of that. Here's the SNS model in full: You register yourname.sol. You pay once. And that's it. No renewal invoice in your email every December. No annual fee quietly draining your card. No expiry date looming over your digital identity. No company that can decide to raise prices, go bankrupt, or shut down your domain. You own it. Permanently. On-chain. Forever. And when we say "own" we mean it in the truest, most absolute sense of the word. Your .sol domain is stored as a permanent record on the @solana blockchain. Not on a company's server. Not in a database some executive can wipe. On a decentralized, globally distributed, and unstoppable network.

  @itsjustcornbro Attempted to continue the business alone despite me having my equity in Delaware, seizing a digital accounts for the company I secured with Yubikeys by fraudulently claiming to be me with NameCheap support, a couple felonies related to unauthorized access. Basically instead of us making millions (we were already partners with the biggest company in that industry and they said they'd acquire us if we hit certain KPIs) he took a knife out, stabbed me in the back, and slit his own throat and died.
