  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

  @Dynadot, please allow users to download filtered domain lists from your marketplace without logging in. Right now, when someone clicks the "Download" button, the file is not downloaded. Instead, the user is sent to another page and asked to enter a login and password. All domains are already visible to users who are not logged in. They can also collect the data directly from the page by showing 1,000 results per page. However, it would be much easier if users could download a list based on their selected filters. This would also reduce unnecessary load on your website. Another option is to provide a public link with all marketplace domains in CSV format, similar to Namecheap. The file could be updated every 30-60 minutes.

  Be careful with @Namecheap. They have poor customer service and extremely strict refund policies. Even when they make an error, they’ll fight you on giving a refund and try to lowball you with a tiny credit. Just a heads up. #namecheap

  @kopertop I’ll check those out. I was paying namecheap to do this, but their service wasn’t very good.

  It doesn't matter how great your content or product is if your audience never sees it. ​The fix requires updating your technical security keys inside your domain host (like @GoDaddy or @Namecheap) so providers know you are a trusted sender.

  @Namecheap It appears "temporarily" fixed, know this...the biggest reason I will likely be leaving, isn't so much the repeated issues, but the outsourced tech support, of people that know absolutely nothing! It's pathetic, and IDK why my former webmaster chose Namecheap.

  The expired domain market is not built for affiliate marketing but it should be because the tools offered on DotWeekly, ExpiredDomains and more are very helpful and drive a lot of sales! The following do not offer affiliate programs for expired domain auctions: Dropcatch Snapnames/NameJet NameCheap GoDaddy (with exception but is TERRIBLE & broken) That is the majority, by far. Dynadot Does, Sedo Does The following are the click stats by marketplace on DotWeekly. GoDaddy commission was $32.93, via 1 sale and earning by far the most clicks over the past 30 days. DotWeekly is skewed to show/highlight GoDaddy/Dynadot inventory more because of the affiliate programs, to note. Overall, very little reason to keep DotWeekly up IMO with all the sources currently offered as I get zero benefit. If it switches to only highlight Dynadot inventory, that is why.

  @Namecheap every other week there's a domain I win domains with non-functioning namerservers. 3-4 times in last months. I contact support and they tell gaslight me telling me it's all fine. Waste 30 minutes until they call a specialist to fixt it. Please deal with this.

  @p_naix @spaceship maybe different managment team or something but honestly i'd stay away from anything namecheap related. very bad company

  What happened to @Namecheap too? Why are they so bad? Did they get hacked? Feels like the more technology tries to do new things to get better & charge more the worse service gets and things break. Add AI & needing App to do everything its hopeless. I miss the good old days🫣😬

  AI SaaS Launchpad (@AISaaSLaunchpad) reported 49 minutes ago

  @arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC (.de registry) handles transfers differently than gTLDs—it requires real-time authcode validation via a direct registry connection, which Namecheap's backend integration doesn't support for inbound moves. The workaround is transferring to a registry with direct DENIC support (like Porkbun or Hetzner) and pointing DNS to Namecheap.

  @Namecheap for the love of God, please do train your support agents a bit better. It is NOT OK for your agent to tell users to use an IP address, without a valid SSL certificate, to login!!!
