-
SYL Vexora- Jaron K Bragg (@JaronBragg) reported@its_sidraa Why not skip namecheap and just use cloudflare for both domain and DNS? Cloudflare actually puts my website on the map. Namecheap I never seen it and was hard for others to surface. Other than that it makes sense.

The Smart Ape π₯ (@the_smart_ape) reportedmillions of companies forget to renew their domain names every year. you can just buy the expired domain someone forgot about and get a premium on it. itβs called drop catching. where to find them discovery + filtering: β expireddomains[.]net β domcop β freshdrop β moonsy auctions + catching: β godaddy auctions β namecheap expired auctions β dynadot closeouts β namejet / snapnames β dropcatch (1,200+ registrars, best catch rate on contested names) the process: domain expires β grace period β βpending deleteβ β drops. once itβs pending delete (usually ~5 days before the drop) you can place a backorder. if more than one person wants it, it goes to auction. most of these never get listed for sale. catch the ones with real value (traffic, backlinks, brandable names).

Andrew Warner (@AndrewWarner) reportedGoodbye SquareSpace. Finally! I've hated having my wife's site on Squarespace. Some consultant set her up with it and I never had the patience to move it. On Sunday I told Claude Code to copy her site to a free @Cloudflare acount. Then I told Claude's Chrome plugin to figure out how to tell NameCheap where to point the domain. So satisfying.

-
Charles (@CDomainer) reported@BTCUFO Itβs really **** that @Namecheap donβt let users list .ai domain names on their platform
-
O.G Obinna (@Obinna_Gates) reported@tomilola_ng @timithechef Iβve used hostinger way back in 19/20, Dreamhost VPS 22/23. I stuck with namecheap for their customer support. Itβs the best & cheapest.
-
Ajetomobi Jamiu (@JamiuAjetomobi) reportedIt doesn't matter how great your content or product is if your audience never sees it. βThe fix requires updating your technical security keys inside your domain host (like @GoDaddy or @Namecheap) so providers know you are a trusted sender.
-
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.
-
Kekko DβAmato (@kekkodamato_) reported@TTrimoreau Cloudflare Registrar if your TLD is supported β at-cost pricing (literally no markup), best DNS control, DNSSEC built in, zero upsells. Namecheap otherwise. Free WhoisGuard, clean UI, rarely issues. GoDaddy is a trap β they charge 3x and count on you not noticing at renewal.

Adam Holter (@AdamHoltererer) reported@gauravsapkotanp Definitely not Namecheap, because @theo said they were bad and scammy.
-
Aaron Douglas (@astralbodies) reportedWaking up to @Namecheap being down is not how I wanted to finish off my weekend. I've never seen an outage like this before with them!

David O. Ehibor (@grayontop_) reported@AlfinCodes Namecheap altho I had a bad experience with them and it took time to get resolved. Cloudfare is a better option.
-
β΄ (@irucsbo) reported@Namecheap Why don't I got access to my funds for over 3 months? Why is @Namecheap support ignoring me?
-
DeepCantCode (@DeepCantCode) reportedGuys, I genuinely need help π I need to buy a domain. Is Namecheap really worth it? The renewal prices are kinda highβ¦ and Porkbun feels the same. Any better domain registrar with low renewal prices and overall cheaper costs? I'm broke π

CAPED CRUSADERπ¦ (@stilleclectic) reported@matthansbello Sigh, everything was originally done on namecheap but Iβve now just moved the dns to cloudflare. Waiting to see if that fixes the issue

OneAndOnlyAarav (@WaterAarav) reportedClaude = coding. ($20/mo) Shypmenta = deploys, connects, and manages every platform below. Basically your Cursor for shipping.($6/mo) Supabase = backend. (Free) Vercel = deploying. (Free) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) Stripe = payments. (2.9%/transaction) GitHub = version control. (Free) Resend = emails. (Free) Clerk = auth. (Free) Cloudflare = DNS. (Free) PostHog = analytics. (Free) Sentry = error tracking. (Free) Upstash = Redis. (Free) Pinecone = vector DB. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20. Building has genuinely never been this affordable, and rarely this effortless either.

Tomodachi Life Updates (@TomoLifeUpdates) reported@Namecheap We'd appreciate it if your abuse team could take a look at tomodachilife[.]gg and tomoez[.]com (X has flagged both domains in posts already). We've received multiple reports from users who believed these sites were associated with an official web version/port of Nintendo's Tomodachi Life. The sites appear to be hosting a CAPTCHA scam disguised as an in-game Tomodachi Life menu, using Nintendo's branding and trademark in a way that may mislead users. A separate domain hosting the same scam, tomodachilife[.]cc, has already been taken down following reports. Could someone from your team review these domains and their operators or direct us to the appropriate reporting channel?
