-
DomainHero (@mynamehack) reported@dynatodd @Namecheap @namecheapceo123 but don't know still they abuse to customer or investors community after VC takeover..
-
Resolver Vicky | Dev 🔧 (@resolvervicky) reportedCloudflare Registrar sells domains at cost and they make zero profit on domain registration. It's a loss leader to get you on their platform. That's why the renewal price never spikes. Namecheap's first-year discount is a customer acquisition trick; the real price is the renewal. Agree?
-
∴ (@irucsbo) reported@Namecheap Why don't I got access to my funds for over 3 months? Why is @Namecheap support ignoring me?
-
Andrea | Solo Tech Founder | Building In Public (@indieappstudio) reported@Addymiss08 namecheap (I actually bought a domain today to add to the list of domains I'll never use)
-
Shawn (@shawn_dot_so) reported@elgermerlo @GoDaddy @Cloudflare GoDaddy isn’t even a consideration for me.. it’s Cloudflare first place or namecheap for TLDs that Cloudflare doesn’t support yet
-
Zayn Harris (@zayn_harris_dev) reportedIt hurts so much. 🥲 Sharing pitfalls encountered when using Cloudflare @CloudflareHelp domain services + Vercel @vercel wildcard domain configuration: If you have developed a SaaS service and configured a wildcard domain to Vercel's domain configuration, and you are using Cloudflare's domain services, you cannot configure the name server to Vercel. The solution is: if you are using a wildcard domain to provide product services, do not use Cloudflare. Be aware when migrating from other domain services such as namesilo, namecheap, etc., to Cloudflare. Because after migrating, you can only migrate out after 60 days.

David Maigari (@maigari_david) reported@Aditya_181105 Namecheap is a good one. Great customer support, too.
-
The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@RealTripleA I know exactly what happened. I cc'd the "host" and they took it down to prevent Namecheap from seeing it. Won't give them the heads up next time.
-
PKR | প্রশান্ত | پرشانتو (@prasanto) reported@baxiabhishek @Namecheap a whois issue, how come? BtW have had great experience with @dd24 for my domains
-
Russ 🇺🇸 🦅 (@SoCalRuss1983) reported@sarahskye @RWMaloneMD NameCheap Inc. Is the company name. Look above for domain name. Also its not related to X Corp, making it an issue.
-
ChiseledCactus | Analyst (@chiseledcactus) reported@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?
-
elena (@elephnaburky) reported@ChrisProd_ @Echotheglitch8 What Glitch is probably doing right now is probably consulting with the Registrar (NiceNIC, which they also don't use. Glitch uses Tucows, Namecheap, and GoDaddy) to get the domain taken down. Or, they might not be doing anything. Who knows.
-
John Kenn (@Sudoku1016705) reported@TTrimoreau Godaddy is better to buy domain, I never found pricing diff between namecheap and godaddy
-
anderson (@U__anderson) reported@John_ACW @Namecheap how many businesses with actually good support can you even name? probably none
-
Greg Lynch (@g_tone_) reported@Arfness @1grid_hosting Just been through the drama of moving client domains away from NameCheap (in protest of their pro-Zionist BS). I need to find a home for novelty TLDs that Xneelo doesn't support. Can you recommend anything?
-
Paul Sant · Telecodex (@YouPulseX) reported@rmastiyev @Namecheap 8080 works, 80 times out, fresh installs logged - "back to the same ticket" is not a network review.
-
Jamie Madden (@dcwhatwhat) reportedI am down to 1 page of domains on my namecheap account, from 3 pages. AMA
-
🔥Sven ☠ 2157🔥 (@Sven2157) reportedI have several website issues today, since I switched to @Namecheap from @GoDaddy & GLAD I DID! Took less than 5 min to assess the issue with NC. GD would have me on hold for 1-4 hours, AND STILL NOT FIX ANYTHING! Bob Parsons would be ashamed! Global CPanel/WHM outage.
-
Kshitij Vijayvergiya (@kvijay98) reported@pcshipp I recently bought a .in domain from Namecheap and it was much cheaper than GoDaddy. Cloudfare doesn’t support the registration of .in extension yet.
-
Garrett 🤠 (@garrett_makes) reported@levelsio When Cloudflare has had issues in the past did it impact domains? Always afraid to use them for the outages. I've had zero downtime from Namecheap and Hetzner in the last 2 years but Cloudflare has had multiple outages in that time.

AI Tools Recap (@AiToolsRecap) reported@nalinrajput23 NAMECHEAP only. Godaddy has worst support system they ask you things like interns running support system.

(Free) - PostHog/Umami = analytics. (Free) - Sentry = error tracking. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$30 There has never been a cheaper time to build.

Aurelien Dio (@aurelien_dio) reportedShipping SnappyName v2 this week It's a terrible business idea. I know > Saturated category. Every major registrar has a domain names generator > Most are free > The main keyword "domain name generator" is locked by GoDaddy, Namecheap, Shopify, Hostinger, etc > Domain buying is impulsive. Decisions happen in seconds > Naming is emotional, not rational. The heart picks, not the spreadsheet that tells you what to buy > The average buyer registers 1-2 domains a year. No recurrence, no LTV > The good .coms are gone. Result quality degrades structurally every year So why am I shipping it anyway? 1/ All existing domain name generators are rotten... I think everyone agrees with me on this! 2/ It can still make $200-500/month. Not life-changing. But a real, if modest, cash stream 3/ It's a sellable asset. Even at $300/month, that's a $3-4K exit 4/ This is my first SaaS that I developed 100% on my own and bootstrapped. No more fundraising of hundreds K€ and a technical team of 10 devs behind me. That's the most important thing, I'm very proud of what I've built myself 💪 So, I ship v2 this week and we'll see what happens!
