    @EleanorKonik I'm really not sure which provider is the most trustworthy these days. I keep my most valuable domains on Network Solutions, but I have no idea if that's a good idea. I do know that I pay a lot more than at Namecheap, where I have most of the others.

    @Karakehayov Spaceship is the best, namecheap and Afternic are the worst.

    Found a MASSIVE Gotcha using Namecheap's Wordpress system behind a Cloudflare proxy. Editors can't login! Can't seem to fix!

    @baxiabhishek @Namecheap Name cheap is just that ! Cheap !! I’ve had a similar experience a year ago, and I never went back to them. Buy domains elsewhere and pay a wee bit more for peace of mind

    Glitch uses 3 different registrars, and never have their organization name publicly listed. - GoDaddy (Glitch Store, TheWackyWatch) - NameCheap (TheProphecy, ParkPlanet, Store Redirects) - Tucows (GlitchProd) They don't use NiceNIC, which is what the Solver site uses. 10/20

    @BenjaminHouy That's normal, United Domains is one of the worst companies out there. Always use @Porkbun or maybe namecheap. If you have issues with United Domains you can also use reclabox and publicly complain about them, United Domains don't like public shaming and they will insta fix it

    .@Namecheap I think it's very funny how you guys have scammed me twice with two different accounts, and then making verification so difficult that almost every document I've submitted was not accepted. No problems though. My mistake for ever trying to work with you guys. This is very ****** service and I'll never patronize you any more.

    So @Namecheap is no longer giving 3 free mailboxes. Damn, we need an alternative solution. You cannot be purchasing domains for 11 USD and pay 70 dollars for mail boxes, we are not in the 90s

    @rozzabuilds usually buy from registrar first, then use a registrar-agnostic service like cloudflare for namecheap or google domains. don't need another middleman between me and my registrars

    @SahilExec Namecheap for budgets. Good customer support, fast setup. Or bulk buy at Godaddy with promos. Skip first year deals. 🌟

    How I book 18 calls/week with medical clinic owners without cold calling. Here's the exact system: 1. Buy 3 domains on Namecheap for $30 total 2. Set up email accounts on each domain using Google Workspace 3. Warm the inboxes for 10 days in Instantly before sending anything 4. Build a list of 500 med spas and cosmetic clinics in Apollo filtering by employee count 5-50 5. Scrape owner/marketing director emails using Apollo's verified contacts 6. Write a 4-email sequence: intro with pattern interrupt, case study, social proof, last chance 7. Keep subject lines under 4 words and body copy under 60 words per email 8. Send 50 emails per day per domain, 150 total daily volume 9. Space follow-ups 3 days apart 10. Route positive replies into GHL for automated booking 11. Use Cal to let them pick times that sync with my actual calendar 12. Qualify in the booking form: revenue, current marketing spend, decision maker status 13. No-shows get an auto-sequence offering to reschedule once 14. Track everything in a Make dashboard pulling data from Instantly and GHL This books 15-20 calls weekly at a 35% show rate. i break down systems like this daily. follow along.

    It has never been cheaper to build a startup. Claude for coding — $20/mo Supabase for backend — free Vercel for deploys — free Namecheap for domain — $20/yr Stripe for payments — % only GitHub for version control — free Resend for emails — free Clerk for auth — free Cloudflare for DNS — free PostHog for analytics — free Sentry for error tracking — free Upstash for Redis — free Pinecone for vector DB — free You can literally launch with ~$20/month. The hard part is no longer building. The hard part is getting people to care.

    @CiCorpAfrica @CiCorpAfrica got it. Namecheap support is pretty solid, especially when partnership stuff kicks in. Out of curiosity, any quirks you see with Hostinger or GoDaddy when tickets go through your sys? Just want to know what to avoid next time.

    The most powerful thing a platform can do is make you feel like you don't need your guard up. Namecheap does that. Not by promising the world. By just... not being awful.

    @itsjustcornbro Attempted to continue the business alone despite me having my equity in Delaware, seizing a digital accounts for the company I secured with Yubikeys by fraudulently claiming to be me with NameCheap support, a couple felonies related to unauthorized access. Basically instead of us making millions (we were already partners with the biggest company in that industry and they said they'd acquire us if we hit certain KPIs) he took a knife out, stabbed me in the back, and slit his own throat and died.

    @ImLunaHey well namecheap didn't snitch my domain but after i didn't renew it for a single day they immediately put it down and tried to resell it for 4 figures and they'd probably also snitch a domain aswell if they're doing that

    @Namecheap Two of my domains have been suspended due to a whois issue, and my email hasn't been responded to all day. I've lost access to my business email, and it's quite harrowing. [NC-QTU-9582]
