  @vivekteega @Namecheap @snigdhasur hey i'm glad that it has worked for you, i doubt most people using such a well known service for standard domain holding would have much issues. but namecheap has made a life long hater out of me and i would do my best to divert any and all business to better alternatives.

  @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.

  The expired domain market is not built for affiliate marketing but it should be because the tools offered on DotWeekly, ExpiredDomains and more are very helpful and drive a lot of sales! The following do not offer affiliate programs for expired domain auctions: Dropcatch Snapnames/NameJet NameCheap GoDaddy (with exception but is TERRIBLE & broken) That is the majority, by far. Dynadot Does, Sedo Does The following are the click stats by marketplace on DotWeekly. GoDaddy commission was $32.93, via 1 sale and earning by far the most clicks over the past 30 days. DotWeekly is skewed to show/highlight GoDaddy/Dynadot inventory more because of the affiliate programs, to note. Overall, very little reason to keep DotWeekly up IMO with all the sources currently offered as I get zero benefit. If it switches to only highlight Dynadot inventory, that is why.

  @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.

  @AlfLark @Samaytwt I had no issue with service (yet). Owned by Namecheap, is that a bad thing?

  Be careful with @Namecheap. They have poor customer service and extremely strict refund policies. Even when they make an error, they’ll fight you on giving a refund and try to lowball you with a tiny credit. Just a heads up. #namecheap

  @iam_Pentyberry @iamrichygold But if you want your domain as . Com only without adding ng then you say there's a problem there. Namecheap actually gives you free one month hosting anyways

  @neerajjj6785 I’ve stuck with Namecheap for years, cheap, easy UI and solid support.

  @Samaytwt GoDaddy is the absolute worst. Jacked-up prices and terrible customer experience. For a while I thought GoDaddy’s higher prices get you a better experience overall but NO! Namecheap is a good deal and it has great customer EXP. Have been working with them for several yrs now.

  @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.

  This indie dev built a 100% free URL shortener — 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. Here’s the exact model: • Free: unlimited short links, custom slugs, basic analytics • Pro ($9/mo): more API calls, advanced stats, priority support • 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: — Crowded market: he won users by shouting “100% free” on Product Hunt and Hacker News. — Server costs from free users: throttled API to 100 req/min. — 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 it’s more like $700–800. And it’s his reported number — 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 it’s a grind — not a get-rich-quick play.

  @Namecheap don’t do it, they work with criminals who clone other peoples websites and don’t do anything to take the scammer websites down
