DNAccess (@dnaccess) reported@DancerA Network Solutions is 40%, GoDaddy 33%, and eNom 7% β so those three alone account for 80%, and Network Solutions plus GoDaddy together are 73%. After that it drops into a long tail: Domain(com)~4%, then Moniker, Namecheap, and 1&1 IONOS at ~2% each, and some single cases at ~1%

Benjamin Thiele (@ESLotherwise) reportedHoly ****, Thanks to @Namecheap Grace Period, i saved my Domains running out. I didnt even get a notice in my Inbox, or atleast the Mailbox didnt inform me.

Richard Navanda (@richardnavanda) reported@namecheapceo123 @Namecheap Are your servers down?

Julian Engel (@julianengel) reported@scheemunai @spaceship @Dynadot Pricing is the biggest factor (spaceship is owned by namecheap - but pricing is much better), better UX and both of these support MCP and API access so they are agent friendly :)

adasπ§¦πΉ (@adastroworld) reported@PersonaIData Itβs been like $10 for the past 10 years so not terrible but yeah itβs just my custom email domain from namecheap Cloudflare allegedly cheaper so Iβm gonna transfer out
-
Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported5/7 - 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.

Snigdha Sur (@snigdhasur) reported@vivekteega @prbhtkumr @Namecheap Just so folks know their rights, a domain provider canβt shut down your domain globally without a proper court order, especially if youβre running a legitimate business. Thatβs why we won our TRO (temporary restraining order) to get it back

eepy πΎ (@theepiest) reported@Porkbun @that2art @Lunascaped no shade at you guys i've even used y'all before<3 i had great service too! but in this specific case i know what im talking. spaceship/namecheap will provide their 'Withheld for Privacy ehf' (i had a domain it expired) and for that same extension you guys say no whois privacy

Avdhoottt (@avdhootttt) reportedIf you want to build a startup that actually has users: Claude = coding. (more like $100+) Supabase = backend. ($25-599/mo once you cross free tier) Vercel = deploying. ($20-150+/mo once you get real traffic) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr, ok this one's real) Stripe = payments. (2.9% + 30Β’/transaction) GitHub = version control. (free) Resend = emails. (free until 3k emails, then $20/mo+) Clerk = auth. (free until 10k MAU, then $25/mo+) Cloudflare = DNS. (free, genuinely) PostHog = analytics. (free until you cross the free tier) Sentry = error tracking. (free until errors pile up) Upstash = Redis. (free until real traffic) Pinecone = vector DB. ($70/mo minimum) Total monthly cost to run a startup with actual users: $300-1000+ "$21/mo" is the cost to run a demo nobody uses.

Shimazu.S (@ShimazuSystems) reported@robintel And also IONOS was abysmal for setting up DNS stuff (this is partly on Google/Firebase though), never had this issue with namecheap DNS

Domayn Kapital (@domaynkapital) reported@Namecheap every few weeks there's a domain I win with non-working namerservers. 3-4 times in the 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 fix it. Please deal with this.

Chris Winfield - Understanding A.I. (@chriswinfield) reported@Namecheap I have been a very loyal customer for 15+ years and all of a sudden you decide to not let me register domains and put BANNED on everything. You just lost me

Shant (@ShantDotMe) reported@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!!!

Nas (@Nas_tech_AI) reportedYou canβt believe this: you spent more on coffee this month than on a startupβs infrastructure. If youβre still waiting for the βright momentβ to build, this is it.

DΜΈΝΜaΜΆΝΜrΜ·ΝΜkΜΆΝΝlΜΈΜΜyΜΈΝΝ (@ADesignerDarkly) reported@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.

Legacy (@legacyunchain) reported@yfly58 Nice one. Boss I need help, I'm trying to set up a business mail. I bought a domain on namecheap, connected it to the Google workshop.
