  @Hexangelo5 You are right about that! Pulsechain,com is registered through there, as are lots of other pulsechain project websites. While Namecheap built its brand on privacy advocacy (e.g., fighting for customer data protection in courts), control now sits largely with a Luxembourg-based PE giant whose incentives are financial returns, not ideological privacy maximalism. The registrant data required by ICANN lives in a system where EU corporate oversight meets US legal demands. In an era of rising data breaches, surveillance, and regulatory flux, relying on any large registrar under PE ownership means trusting opaque boardroom decisions with your identity footprint. Diversifying to independent or privacy-first alternatives reduces single points of failure.

  @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.

  Why @Namecheap Live Support need always 5-10 minutes before speak with you ?

  4L.com (@4Ldotcom) reported 8 minutes ago

  Note: The domain was using Afternic nameservers and showed the Afternic landing page, so the lead did not come from the domain landing page. The sale was completed through Spaceship, which means the buyer likely came from the Spaceship or Namecheap network/marketplace.

  I’ve usually had very good experiences with @Namecheap and their customer service but today I have been on with a live agent for more than 30 mins and they can’t resolve my issue after wasting my time they are now transferring me to a different department. SMH

  @Nueltek a few minor inaccuracies here. > low-traffic websites the hypernova VPS subscription on Namecheap accomodates up to 10TB in bandwidth. that's more than enough for most traffic loads. > if the VPS goes down it's still more reliable than shared hosting > if one website gets compromised, the entire server could be at risk true. only if the exploit gets a hold of 'root' > 1 site experiences a major traffic spike cloudflare to the rescue > single point of failure? cloudflare to the rescue hehe.

  @faa0311 Whatever you do stay away from @Namecheap. Once they had an issue with SMS OTP and users were locked out for months with no recourse.

  This indie dev built a 100% free URL shortener — and it reportedly makes $1,000/month. Bitly and TinyURL now charge $29/month just for custom slugs and basic click tracking. He saw the gap and built shorlnk. Free for everything most people need: custom aliases, click stats, QR codes. Paid only for team features, higher API limits, custom domains. Here’s the exact model: • Free: unlimited short links, custom slugs, basic analytics • Pro ($9/mo): more API calls, advanced stats, priority support • Team ($29/mo): collaboration, custom domain, dedicated support He open-sourced the revenue number on IndieHackers (his claim, not verified). Tech stack: React + Tailwind, Node.js + Express, PostgreSQL, Vercel + AWS, Namecheap. Built in ~3 weeks. Challenges: — Crowded market: he won users by shouting “100% free” on Product Hunt and Hacker News. — Server costs from free users: throttled API to 100 req/min. — Abuse risk: built a review system to block phishing links. Is it for you? If you can code, yes. If not, no. $1,000/month sounds nice, but after server costs it’s more like $700–800. And it’s his reported number — not guaranteed. Bottom line: find a niche where big players are greedy, offer the basics for free, and charge for power features. It works, but it’s a grind — not a get-rich-quick play. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #IndieHackers #SideProject

  @tomilola_ng @timithechef I’ve used hostinger way back in 19/20, Dreamhost VPS 22/23. I stuck with namecheap for their customer support. It’s the best & cheapest.

  @Namecheap Almost a day 'fighting' with your tech team about port 80 blocked (VPS). Proof: fresh installs, external tests, logs — packets time out externally on :80 while :8080 works! Your team just points back at me. Can someone from your network/infra team really look at this?

  For the first time in 10 years, I moved the .io domain out of Namecheap to save $25 on renewal lol; never thought of moving any of the 2k+ domains I've managed with Namecheap for years. 3x the price is unjustifiable. Could potentially save up to $10k a year by moving every single one to Cloudflare on renewal. But that’s a very big headache doing one by one, so i’ll pass for now!

  Goodbye 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.

  @Namecheap The part where I type a postal code, and just because there's a space (which your JS should be able to verify is irrelevant) the form goes "FIX THIS VALUE IT IS WRONG" when in fact no, it is not: validate _after_ removing semantically irrelevant characters.

  @MustaAras I think it comes down to normie's perceptions of Namecheap/Spaceship registrars vs GoDaddy. Very much IMHO.
