  @Namecheap Warning to all website owners and businesses: Based on our experience, we strongly advise exercising caution before dealing with this hosting provider. We encountered significant difficulties related to account management, communication, and obtaining support regarding our hosting services. Our experience raised serious concerns about the company's practice of relying on third-party agents to manage hosting accounts, which may leave customers vulnerable to disputes, service interruptions, delays in account transfers, or unexpected financial demands. We encourage all customers to carefully review ownership rights, account access credentials, service agreements, and transfer procedures before purchasing hosting services through any intermediary or agent. We have documented our experience and reserve the right to pursue the matter through the appropriate regulatory and legal channels.

  Imagine losing your online identity due to a registrar issue. This happens because centralized registrars like GoDaddy or Namecheap essentially rent domains to users, who have limited control over their ownership. If the registrar suspends, seizes, or loses the domain, the user is left with nothing. Doma Protocol solves this by tokenizing domains, allowing true ownership and transferability. * Tokenized domains are stored on-chain * Transferable without registrar involvement * Owners have full control over their assets This shift in domain ownership dynamics has significant implications for the future of online identities and assets. With a total network value of $27.52M and 48,421 wallets holding tokenized domains, the foundations of a new paradigm are being laid. A new era of digital ownership is unfolding. @domaprotocol @D3inc #Web3Domains

  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!

  millions 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. it’s called drop catching. where to find them discovery + filtering: → expireddomains[.]net → domcop → freshdrop → moonsy auctions + catching: → godaddy auctions → namecheap expired auctions → dynadot closeouts → namejet / snapnames → dropcatch (1,200+ registrars, best catch rate on contested names) the process: domain expires → grace period → “pending delete” → drops. once it’s 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).

  My domain was shut down by @GoDaddy on May 10th. No idea why & the domain was paid up for a year back in Feb. 2026. I’ve called twice a day trying to get this resolved with GoDaddy. Absolutely a waste of my time. I moved the domain today to @Namecheap but GoDaddy is now taking 5-7 days to initiate the transfer. I’ve reached out to @GoDaddyHelp numerous times with no response. Can you imagine providing such poor service?

  @AlfinCodes Namecheap altho I had a bad experience with them and it took time to get resolved. Cloudfare is a better option.

  @katerleonid None. *Godaddy-pricy, had market place problems. *Hostinger+cloudflare-wouldnt use, not their niche *Namesilo-had major security incident, noone cared. *namecheap-not cheap, cluttered UI, intrusive upsells *spaceship-cheaper than internetbs, terrible UI

  Claude = coding. ($20/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) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20 There has never been a cheaper time to build.

  @levelsio @Cloudflare I don't like Namecheap neither (their DNS setup sometimes causes my browser to freeze). But so far all domain providers I tried were generally ****, so I kind of made peace with the fact that they all suck. Why is @Cloudflare different?

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

  @NamecheapCEO namecheap support on live chat keep asking for money just to reboot the server which is already down and they can't explain why it's down. We paid for reboot and server is still down now they are asking more money. This is insane. We are already paying for subscription and suffering business loss and they can't even tell us why our server is down for over 2 days now. Server down means all our websites are down and we can't run business. Need HELP
