Sharat MR (@cosmos_genius) reported@captn3m0 I got the same email from namecheap. .in domain never had allowed whois protection AFAIK but for some reason the domain contacts where all weird in namecheap. Had to manually correct it. Didn't know the domain would be suspended so soon. one week is too short a period for warning

Phil (@0xPhilH) reported@milanm_ @levelsio @Cloudflare To add here, since CFs offices are in France, they overcomply with every bs EU request, even if you host a service that is US only. They won't do that for the content part, so namecheap registar + CF dns + CF CDN is actually best of both worlds combo.

Matthias Reinholz (@MattReinholz) reportedInteresting side-fact: they say the issue was about DNSSEC. However, in contrast to .com, @Namecheap doesn't let me configure DNSSEC for .de domains (not because of the current issue but generally). @grok does DENIC use a different layer/method of DNSSEC that doesn't allow configuring it on the registry level?

Jeff Black (@jblacktkeus) reported@iHeartMalware @Namecheap Can you help me? Iโm out 35k to these *******

Zarv (@zarvxbt) reportedgm everyone you can ship a full startup from your bedroom and nobody can tell you otherwise > claude writes the code > supabase handles your backend+database > vercel deploys it > clerk does auth > stripe takes payments > resend sends emails > cloudflare covers DNS > pinecone for vectors > upstash for redis > posthog tracks everything > sentry catches your errors > namecheap for the domain > github ties it all together zero office zero team zero excuses it's not that deep bro
-
Favour Light (@RealLight47) reported@Namecheap has probably the worst customer support I've ever had to deal with. I've been locked out of my account and haven't gotten a single reply to any of the emails I've sent.
-
Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reported@Namecheap upon checking my hosting list there was nothing, talking to support they say that i have been refunded stellar, but there is no confirmation email of that. hmm, on the domain they said it was put on auction and i cant access it or recover it
-
Felix Guo (@felix_guo_daxia) reported@itsaaroshi Fr, straight honest answer: Cloudflare for DNS, management, and zero sketchy upsells.Porkbun & Cloudflare all the way.Porkbun for cheap, clean domain pricing + free privacy. Namecheap mid, Dynadot solid but UI clunky.Never touch GoDaddy (scammy upsells, overpriced). No cringe hidden fees, no forced add-ons, just simple domains.

Moritz Wallawitsch (@MoritzW42) reportedevery dev tool NEEDS a cli! I never want to click around in some ui if i can tell claude code to use a cli. i'm considering switching from namecheap and loops bc of this

๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐๐ฃ๐๐โโ๐พ๐บ๐ธ (@USS_Kearsarge_) reportedFYI I won't be able to talk on Matrix for a while, because namecheap seems to be down and doesn't want to update their DNS with my new ip address... I guess I will need to make a server on discord after all

-
Insignificant Developer (@insigdev) reported@tomilola_ng Namecheap sucks though ๐ญ Namecheap VPS is just Hostinger in a different coat. Low initial cost, ridiculous renewal prices as well, and a predatory domain expiration pipeline that funnels your forgotten domains straight to their marketplace auctions.

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.

Hein Huyser (@huyser6057) reported@Namecheap What a pathetic bunch you are! Changed my password now canโt access my account! But making a service requestโฆ..I must log into account! But canโt becauseโฆ..password change not recognised! Eish!
-
Adam Maysonet (@synozeer) reported@TopShelfNames @spaceship If someone typed in the domain in their browser bar, they would have seen an Afternic lander. The person instead searched for the domain on Namecheap/Spaceship and bought it that way (aka. reg path), so they may never have even seen the lander.
-
DeepCantCode (@DeepCantCode) reportedGuys, I genuinely need help ๐ญ I need to buy a domain. Is Namecheap really worth it? The renewal prices are kinda highโฆ and Porkbun feels the same. Any better domain registrar with low renewal prices and overall cheaper costs? I'm broke ๐
-
AISuperHub (@aisuperhub) reported@ravikiran_dev7 Cloudflare Registrar for domains you plan to keep long term. They sell at cost with no markup. Namecheap for anything quick and cheap. GoDaddy only if you need phone support. Avoid renewing with GoDaddy though, the renewal prices are way higher than the initial promo.
