  Any Help? If you have purchased a domain name by using a DotWeekly affiliate link from GoDaddy or NameCheap, can you provide me the domain please via DM or email? I've sent 775 clicks to NameCheap in March, $0 revenue. I've sent 1,500 to GoDaddy and $39 revenue. Thank you!

With a virtual card designed for online use, you avoid unnecessary international payment issues and keep everything running without interruptions 🙌.

  The fix is easy.. - Buy a sending domain on Namecheap ($11/yr) - Setup GoogleWorkspace inbox on the domain ($7/mo) - Connect it to GHL via SMTP - Set your SPF/DKIM/DMARC records correctly - Warm it up for 3 weeks minimum before sending That's the setup no one tells you about...

  @msnmongare @mbiti_mwondi @kichwa_ DNS management. The thing froze all the time when editing the DNS records and at times just failed. Sahii even pointing my other domains to vercel is not working as it does when I use namecheap

  @Namecheap are you having issues with Custom DNS? everytime I add nameservers, and hit the save button, I get "OOOPS! Something went wrong, please try again." What is going on with that?

  @booleanbeyondIN Namecheap because we have a partnership, the support is much better than the other 2... Though hostinger and godaddy are supported on our systems too....

  @wholyv okay so ICANN is the big manager of domains and TLDs. they choose which TLDs exist, then registrars like Cloudflare or ionos or namecheap can choose which TLDs to support, they then sell you domains using those TLDs and handle DNS routing.

  @Polymarket @PelicanAI_ independently verified the polyboost forensic. Domain registered 22 days ago on Namecheap with privacy shield. Already flagged low-trust by multiple scanners. Same affiliate ring, same bot reply network, same scam. Different wrapper.

  @carlw_dev @Namecheap No issues with them here. Ive even had domains expire with them and was able to get it back with zero issues or markup. 🤷🏻

  Good question. The domain system is one of the most overlooked money machines on the internet. Here is how it actually works. At the top of the entire system sits ICANN. Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. It is a non-profit organisation that controls the master list of every domain extension that exists. The .com, .net, .org, the country codes like .in and .uk, all of it. ICANN does not sell domains directly. It approves and licenses registries. Registries are the companies that actually manage specific extensions. Verisign manages .com and .net. They maintain the master database of every .com domain ever registered. Verisign charges registrars a wholesale fee of around $8 to $9 per .com domain per year. This cost is essentially fixed regardless of how many domains exist. Creating a new domain entry in a database costs fractions of a cent. Registrars are the companies you actually buy from. GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains. They pay the registry the wholesale rate and sell to you at a markup. That markup is the registrar's business. So the cost breakdown for a .com domain looks like this: ICANN takes a small fee per registration, currently around $0.18 per domain per year. Verisign takes around $8 to $9 as the registry. The registrar adds their margin on top and sells it to you for anywhere from $10 to $15 at standard price. The actual infrastructure cost of creating and maintaining a domain entry in a database is almost zero at scale. The fees are for the system, the monopoly, and the maintenance of the global DNS infrastructure that makes the internet work. Here is the part most people miss. .com is a monopoly. Only Verisign can issue .com domains. They negotiated a contract with ICANN that essentially locks them in as the .com registry indefinitely. They process over 170 million .com domains. At $8 per domain per year that is over a billion dollars annually for maintaining a database. The domain you pay $12 for cost about 18 cents to actually create. The rest is the price of the address system that makes the entire internet navigable.

  @rozzabuilds @nurnabidesigner Same🤝Namecheap, I have 3 domains through them and have had no problem , i use their DNS on 1 and I run the other 2 through cloudflare and let them handle everything. I've had no issues linking either to my google workspace. Honestly my experience with namecheap has been great-no complaints.

  Let me tell you something about ownership that the traditional internet never gave you. Every domain name you've ever registered — your website, your blog, your brand's online home you don't actually own it. You're renting it. You pay GoDaddy, Namecheap and Google Domains. Every single year. Miss a payment? Forget to renew? Your domain expires. Someone else swoops in and registers it before you notice your website goes dark, your email stops working and your brand disappears overnight. This is the reality of "owning" a domain name on the traditional internet. You're not an owner. You're a tenant. And the landlord always wins. SNS (@sns) said no to all of that. Here's the SNS model in full: You register yourname.sol. You pay once. And that's it. No renewal invoice in your email every December. No annual fee quietly draining your card. No expiry date looming over your digital identity. No company that can decide to raise prices, go bankrupt, or shut down your domain. You own it. Permanently. On-chain. Forever. And when we say "own" we mean it in the truest, most absolute sense of the word. Your .sol domain is stored as a permanent record on the @solana blockchain. Not on a company's server. Not in a database some executive can wipe. On a decentralized, globally distributed, and unstoppable network.
