    Is there still no good product around finding the closest domain names to my interest with LLMs? I love NameCheap but their domain finder sucks

    @Namecheap @ICANN I already contacted you several times. Especially, I sent you on 09 October 2025, a last email: Motive Worldwide Ltd's Formal Notice and Demand for Immediate Remedial Action and Compensation. However, your service remains until present unresponsive to this last.

    When cloudfare was down, i thought of switching dns, but @Namecheap was also using cloudfare, so I couldn't access the namecheap also. This shouldn't be the case Namecheap! Else we are all just stuck and can't even change our DNS.

    @NamecheapCEO @mikemanndotcom I'm gonna follow you to see what else you're up to, and yes I'm still a fan of Namecheap's services even though they seem slow and overpriced. It's convenient enough to manage.

    @rainraingoaw Hi! Domain Privacy on Namecheap is a Whois protection service provided by the Withheld for Privacy company. It prevents people from seeing your name, address, phone number, and email when they do a Whois search on your domain. It puts its address information to the public Whois instead of yours to protect you from potential spam and even identity theft. But please note that there are exceptions for domain TLDs to which privacy protection does not apply due to registry restrictions.

    @glosseantics Holy **** I gotta do that. The first time I failed to link up a namecheap domain of my own to cloudflare pages, and couldn't diagnose the problem, but I should try again

  • NameZoneCo NameZone.co (@NameZoneCo) reported

    @NamecheapCEO I started domaining very late but as a web designer i started very early. Namezero was i think my first registrar and heard about Enom and Namecheap somewhere between 2000 or 2001. used Sedo too for parking but dumb *** me, never thought of domaining that time lol

    @Namecheap @ICANN You already asked me the same question: no more engagement ID provided...this further demonstrating Namecheap malpractice. You have check or find the emails internally with probably Namecheap support team.
