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
-
DaNikePlug (@DaNikePlugs) reported@novitekka @Namecheap same issue
-
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

alencristen (@alencristen) reported@p_naix @spaceship maybe different managment team or something but honestly i'd stay away from anything namecheap related. very bad company
-
Rajeev Singh Naruka (@toughyear) reportednever search domains on godaddy. they very obviously resell this info. better use cloudflare or namecheap or porkbun.
-
zuby | Default Web Designer (@zubywebstudio) reportedTo get a domain now and hosting is not the problem until it's time for renewal I think Namecheap now has separate charge for their positive SSL renewal π
-
Arvid Kahl (@arvidkahl) reported@Namecheap Cloudflare also doesn't support .de TLDs. The only one that seems to do it out of the box is GoDaddy. Yikes.

Sergio (@sergionoodle) reported@FrancescoCiull4 How is Namecheap nowadays? I dropped them a while back as prices went up and quality down.
-
Edgex (@SahilExec) reported@neerajjj6785 Iβve stuck with Namecheap for years, cheap, easy UI and solid support.
-
Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported@Namecheap Oh FFS so it's caused by Right Clicking to Copy the password. If you just double click & "ctrl c" it does not add "Refresh" to the pasted text. I have never ever encountered this bloody nonsense before & so not understand why any developer would think this is acceptable.

Qamar Issa (@QamarIssaqf) reported@0xPurchase @sidomains @NamePros How to buy in less 25$ Which platform bro to invest I search namecheap spaceship not support this
-
yev (@itisyev) reported@Namecheap apologies for the false statement. I got emails from you with refunds for the domain subscription and jumped to conclusions Turns out... the IP I got from @digitalocean for hosting got re-allocated to a different project. Updating records with NC's Basic DNS to fix
-
Udayπ¨βπ» (@uday_devops) reported@adahstwt I think namecheap is best but their renewal cost is not same that is the issue

I have already submitted the requested information and documentation. Could you please provide an update on the review status?

We apologize we could not be of further assistance in this matter. Kind Regards,

Charlotte (@al_tools43377) reported- 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) - Sentry = error tracking. (Free) - Upstash = Redis. (Free) - Pinecone = vector DB. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20 There has never been a cheaper time to build.

Diluc (@hsaffiliate2025) reportedThis indie dev built a 100% free URL shortener β 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. Hereβs the exact model: β’ Free: unlimited short links, custom slugs, basic analytics β’ Pro ($9/mo): more API calls, advanced stats, priority support β’ 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: β Crowded market: he won users by shouting β100% freeβ on Product Hunt and Hacker News. β Server costs from free users: throttled API to 100 req/min. β 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 itβs more like $700β800. And itβs his reported number β 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 itβs a grind β not a get-rich-quick play. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #IndieHackers #SideProject

Johnny Picante (@JohnnyPic51) reported@CertainLogicAI @buildwithmaya @Namecheap Agreed for the validation phase β 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.

TungstenCarb (@TungstenCarb) reportedAfter using @Namecheap's service for well over a decade, they've decided to raise my rates. I'm pretty disappointed. Are there any other good hosting providers that are low cost? I've already tried GoDaddy and their service was trash.
-
Chris Ebert (@realchrisebert) reported@kopertop Iβll check those out. I was paying namecheap to do this, but their service wasnβt very good.
-
TheRealPomax (@TheRealPomax) reported@Namecheap The part where I type a postal code, and just because there's a space (which your JS should be able to verify is irrelevant) the form goes "FIX THIS VALUE IT IS WRONG" when in fact no, it is not: validate _after_ removing semantically irrelevant characters.

Carla Alvarez - Raised to Walk (@RaisedtoWalk) reported@YouTube @Restreamio @Namecheap One of the other things snaking MCN owners can do is enforced "content standardization" on videos in their network ... even if they HIJACKED the channel into it and even if the video is uploaded to another account. Which they have obviously done on this video

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.
