  @katerleonid godaddy have a few of my .cns but namecheap i have most on. i like namecheaps backend, and how easy it is to change dns etc.... and on having reseller hosting from them, everything is streamlined. Namecheap also has very good support. not sales people like i found on godaddy.

  You're going to waste thousands of dollars on cold email in 2026 if your tech stack isn't dialed in. In 2023 you could get away with a lot. Sloppy setup, still land in the inbox. Not anymore. Between the AI filters and the sender rules, the setup is the campaign now. I break the stack into 5 layers: 1. Inboxes Scaled Mail or Hypertide. About $3.50 per inbox. Buy straight from Google instead and you're paying roughly $8.50 for the same thing. Same inbox. Five extra dollars. Every month. Times a hundred. They also set up every DNS record for every domain, so that's not your problem anymore. 2. Domains Porkbun or Namecheap. Don't buy 100 sequential domains from one registrar on one day. That's a footprint, and it's how entire infrastructures die at once. 3. Sending platform Instantly or Smartlead. This is the layer everyone argues about and it matters the least. Pick one. Go fix layer 1. 4. Verification ZeroBounce, MillionVerifier, or LeadMagic for standard verification. BounceBan or Instantly for catch-alls. Those are two different jobs. Your verifier returns "unknown" on catch-alls because it literally can't resolve them — not because your list is bad. Most people delete 25% of their TAM over this. 5. Monitoring & placement tests GlockApps, EmailGuard, or Instantly's built-in placement test. Run it daily. You cannot fix what you're not measuring, and most people have never once checked where their cold email actually lands. That's the whole stack. Layers 1 and 5 are where results come from. They're also the two nobody buys, because layer 3 is the one with the marketing budget.

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

  Hey @Wix , transferred my domain from @namecheap. The domain already shows the default Wix page, but my Wix dashboard is still stuck on “Transfer in Progress.” I’ve emailed support but haven’t received a response. Please help.

  @prbhtkumr @Namecheap Why so? What are the issues?

  AI SaaS Launchpad (@AISaaSLaunchpad) reported 20 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.

  @defi_oasis @katerleonid I would really love to connect - discuss. How many have Namecheap done this to? You can't host minimum bid, no reserve auctions and cancel the winning bid when the bid is met & you don't like the final bid price - then reauction the domain. NC is based in Arizona. @AZAGMayes

  Johnny Picante (@JohnnyPic51) reported 24 minutes ago

  @CertainLogicAI @buildwithmaya @Namecheap Agreed for the validation phase — cheapest thing that ships wins. Where a geo-TLD earns its keep is after you've got signal and want the URL itself doing some work (local SEO, word-of-mouth memorability) instead of just hosting code.

  FFS so when you click @Namecheap Live Support you're not actually talking to Live Support it's a BOT 😡🤬 only after the BIT has wastes half an hour of your time does it then transfer to actual Live Support. Might as well have talked to a wall for half an hour 😡

  Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported 27 minutes ago

  5/7 - Bitcoin users already trusted Namecheap. In December 2011 it turned GoDaddy's SOPA support into "Move Your Domain Day," welcoming thousands of transferred domains and donating over $100,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Its base was the crowd asking for Bitcoin.

  @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.

  @vivekteega @prbhtkumr @Namecheap Just so folks know their rights, a domain provider can’t shut down your domain globally without a proper court order, especially if you’re running a legitimate business. That’s why we won our TRO (temporary restraining order) to get it back

  Well, it appears someone bought my old domain that was unused there for a bit and is hosting an old clone of the site with all links going to a spam page. Here’s to hoping the @Namecheap abuse team can help. Never a dull moment 😒

  @prbhtkumr @Namecheap @snigdhasur Went through the Snigdha Sur case, it looks like there is some legality issue with their domain being used in India. Will read more to understand before making any judgement. Ps - I use namecheap for my website domain and it has worked great for me.

  @arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC runs .de transfers through a KK code and the registrar has to be a member or work via a partner. a lot of resellers only built the registration side and never the transfer one.

  - half of Twitter buys their 15th domain (best week for GoDaddy and Namecheap) - „it’s literally a cheat code to get rich” (*Claude take this ideas and build a landing page*) - “this is literally what I’ve been building” (*** repo created 14 minutes ago) - founders suddenly remember they’ve been “obsessed with this problem for years” (yesterday they were building dual-use AI travel agents) - VCs and Angel investor who passed get pinged „look this is what YC looks for and we are building this” (they hop on a call) - founders spending more time crafting the “We’ve been quietly working on this…” tweet than working on it
