Alex Cloudstar (@alexcloudstar) reported@vibeonX69 Namecheap all the way for me. Never liked GoDaddy's upsells. Hostinger's cool but I stick with Namecheap for domains.
-
Captain M (@FrankoRover) reportedSo @Namecheap is no longer giving 3 free mailboxes. Damn, we need an alternative solution. You cannot be purchasing domains for 11 USD and pay 70 dollars for mail boxes, we are not in the 90s
-
Jacob Hartmann (@jacobhartmannx) reported@ethanjaack The few legacy sites in my portfolio are being converted to static builds with serverless backends... The biggest problem I have with Namecheap is moving hundreds of domains out to another provider with a reasonable API & Terraform provider.

nik (@realNirajK) reportedbeen using Namecheap for years. never had a single issue. absolutely goated!
-
Piyush Dinde (@PiyushDinde) reported@SomanathDi48172 Namecheap. Also never search your domain idea on Godaddy, they'll buy it up and ask you to pay premium
-
Sebastian Hulme (@sebbhulme) reportedYou need more domains than you think and you need to buy them smarter than you probably are. Grab them from Porkbun or Namecheap. Spaceship is my favourite. Never from your email provider directly because the markup is criminal. Buy variations of your main domain with prefixes and suffixes. If your company is called Acme then you want getacme, acmehq, tryacme, acmegroup Dot com is ideal but dot co and dot info work fine too. Figure out how many emails you want to send per day Divide by 30 for Google inboxes Then divide by three And that tells you how many domains you need. Sending 3,000 a day means you need 100 inboxes across maybe 30 to 35 domains and that sounds like a lot until you realise domains cost about 10 quid each for a year. People try to run big volume off 3 domains and then wonder why their sender reputation is in the bin by week two.

GMD King (@GMDKing) reported@CodeWithAmann Namecheap, incredible service and.. well.. very cheap domains

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.

David | Founder @ Neurolayer Labs (@NeuroBrowse) reported@rozzabuilds @nurnabidesigner Sameπ€Namecheap, I have 3 domains through them and have had no problem , i use their DNS on 1 and I run the other 2 through cloudflare and let them handle everything. I've had no issues linking either to my google workspace. Honestly my experience with namecheap has been great-no complaints.

-
Temitope (@TemitopeJuba) reported@RaenestApp Your customer care is ignoring me! I made a payment with my virtual card for a Namecheap service. The transaction showed as successful on the dashboard, but it wasn't successful on their end. I made a complaint but still no response. This is scary!

Hari Prasad (@booleanbeyondIN) reported@CiCorpAfrica @CiCorpAfrica got it. Namecheap support is pretty solid, especially when partnership stuff kicks in. Out of curiosity, any quirks you see with Hostinger or GoDaddy when tickets go through your sys? Just want to know what to avoid next time.

Ocean (@itmilkyway) reported@Karakehayov @afternic They should commit if theyβre truly building the future of tech identity, just as Dynadot has, with Namecheap and Spaceship close behind. I support .si with the same conviction I had when I first supported .ai in 2018.
