    @Namecheap Turns out, y'all were doing maintenance, with no notice I could find. That should probably be shown on what ever login screen one uses...just a thought. Being 3rd party, IDK how that would work. I'm still talking to them about switching away from Roundcube. They don't know how.

    @mddanishyusuf @Cloudflare @Namecheap split between cf and porkbun. dont put all your domains in one basket, especially the one you use to log in to the domain service.

    To get a domain now and hosting is not the problem until it's time for renewal I think Namecheap now has separate charge for their positive SSL renewal 💀

    @YashHustle_22 I use Namecheap, their interface is clean and their support is actually helpful, no regrets here

    @neerajjj6785 I’ve stuck with Namecheap for years, cheap, easy UI and solid support.

  • domaynkapital
    Domayn Kapital (@domaynkapital) reported

    @Namecheap every few weeks there's a domain I win with non-functioning namerservers. 3-4 times in the last months. I contact support and they tell gaslight me telling me it's all fine. Waste 30 minutes until they call a specialist to fixt it. Please deal with this.

    It doesn't matter how great your content or product is if your audience never sees it. ​The fix requires updating your technical security keys inside your domain host (like @GoDaddy or @Namecheap) so providers know you are a trusted sender.

    Be careful with @Namecheap. They have poor customer service and extremely strict refund policies. Even when they make an error, they’ll fight you on giving a refund and try to lowball you with a tiny credit. Just a heads up. #namecheap

    @guillemcraft Also FastVPN (basically namecheap VPN service) offer 1 year VPN for ~$12.

    @ronisarkar_exe I’ve found Namecheap has better customer support! Super helpful when issues arise!

    @Namecheap @digitalocean To be clear, I released the IP address as part of winding things down. I just finally noticed it got recycled

    Holy ****, Thanks to @Namecheap Grace Period, i saved my Domains running out. I didnt even get a notice in my Inbox, or atleast the Mailbox didnt inform me.

    @arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC runs .de transfers through a KK code and the registrar has to be a member or work via a partner. a lot of resellers only built the registration side and never the transfer one.

    @cammygoltd @Namecheap If you have already submitted a ticket to our Abuse Team, please patiently wait for their review and response as our Support Team cannot assist with this type of request. We apologize we could not be of further assistance in this matter. Kind Regards,

    do I know anyone at namecheap (or knows someone at namecheap) that could help with something sort of asap?

    1 prompt. Claude builds a $2,000/week website from scratch. Here’s the exact system, step by step. Most people build sites the wrong way. They hire a developer for $3,000–8,000. Wait 3–6 weeks. Get something generic. Then pay another $500/month to maintain it. The new way: 1 prompt. 45 minutes. Launch-ready. WHAT YOU’RE BUILDING A niche service landing page conversion-optimized, Stripe-integrated, SEO-structured that targets a local or vertical market with $200–500 average order value. Target: $2,000/week minimum by week 4. THE PROMPT ARCHITECTURE Your 1 prompt has 4 layers: → Layer 1 Business context “I’m building a [niche] service site targeting [city/audience]. Average order: $[X]. Primary CTA: book a call / buy now.” → Layer 2 Stack spec “Build in HTML/CSS/JS, Stripe Checkout embedded, Calendly widget for booking, Google Analytics 4 ready.” → Layer 3 Content skeleton “Homepage: hero with pain point + 3 benefits + social proof section + FAQ + CTA. No blog. No filler.” → Layer 4 Conversion rules “Above the fold: 1 headline, 1 subheadline, 1 button. No nav clutter. Mobile-first. Load under 2 seconds.” Paste all 4 layers into Claude as 1 message. Hit send. WHAT CLAUDE DELIVERS IN 45 MINUTES → Full HTML file, production-ready → Stripe Checkout flow embedded → Mobile layout done → Meta tags + OG data for social sharing → Contact form wired to Formspree (free tier) You copy the output. Drop into Netlify or Vercel. Live in 8 minutes. Domain: $12/year on Namecheap. Hosting: $0. Total launch cost: $12. REALISTIC REVENUE PROGRESSION Week 1 Site live. Run $50 in Meta ads to local audience. 3 conversions at $150 = $450. Week 2 Add Google Business Profile. 2 organic calls. 1 closes. $200. Week 3 Raise price 20%. Run retargeting on the 60 visitors who didn’t convert. $600. Week 4 Email the 3 week-1 buyers. Ask for referrals. 2 referrals at $250 = $500 + repeat. Total week: $2,100+. The site didn’t change. The traffic system compounded.

    @scheemunai @spaceship @Dynadot Pricing is the biggest factor (spaceship is owned by namecheap - but pricing is much better), better UX and both of these support MCP and API access so they are agent friendly :)

    @robintel And also IONOS was abysmal for setting up DNS stuff (this is partly on Google/Firebase though), never had this issue with namecheap DNS

  • JohnnyPic51
    Johnny Picante (@JohnnyPic51) reported

    @CertainLogicAI @buildwithmaya @Namecheap Agreed for the validation phase — cheapest thing that ships wins. Where a geo-TLD earns its keep is after you've got signal and want the URL itself doing some work (local SEO, word-of-mouth memorability) instead of just hosting code.

  • SigniusNetworks
    Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported

    @Namecheap Oh FFS so it's caused by Right Clicking to Copy the password. If you just double click & "ctrl c" it does not add "Refresh" to the pasted text. I have never ever encountered this bloody nonsense before & so not understand why any developer would think this is acceptable.

    @Namecheap I have been a very loyal customer for 15+ years and all of a sudden you decide to not let me register domains and put BANNED on everything. You just lost me

    just bought something i'll never use on namecheap, call that a domain expansion

    @iam_Pentyberry @iamrichygold But if you want your domain as . Com only without adding ng then you say there's a problem there. Namecheap actually gives you free one month hosting anyways

    @YouTube @Restreamio @Namecheap One of the other things snaking MCN owners can do is enforced "content standardization" on videos in their network ... even if they HIJACKED the channel into it and even if the video is uploaded to another account. Which they have obviously done on this video

  • dnaccess
    DNAccess (@dnaccess) reported

    @DancerA Network Solutions is 40%, GoDaddy 33%, and eNom 7% — so those three alone account for 80%, and Network Solutions plus GoDaddy together are 73%. After that it drops into a long tail: Domain(com)~4%, then Moniker, Namecheap, and 1&1 IONOS at ~2% each, and some single cases at ~1%

    @Porkbun @that2art @Lunascaped no shade at you guys i've even used y'all before<3 i had great service too! but in this specific case i know what im talking. spaceship/namecheap will provide their 'Withheld for Privacy ehf' (i had a domain it expired) and for that same extension you guys say no whois privacy
