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.

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!!!

Fernando (@unfernaonx) reported@larsbuilds Whatβs that service? Looks good. I use namecheap and sometimes it feels like 2014 cPanel
-
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.

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

Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reportedFFS so when you click @Namecheap Live Support you're not actually talking to Live Support it's a BOT π‘π€¬ only after the BIT has wastes half an hour of your time does it then transfer to actual Live Support. Might as well have talked to a wall for half an hour π‘

Domayn Kapital (@domaynkapital) reported@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.

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

Friday (@friday_omoaka) reported@DNWE_com DNWE charges 15% commission on sales? What value or services do you provide to warrant such? This is just greed. Are you comparing yourself with Afternic with big distribution network? Spaceship with Namecheap distribution even charges 10% commission.

Wiktor Poltorak (@wiktorpoltorak) reported@Samaytwt GoDaddy is the absolute worst. Jacked-up prices and terrible customer experience. For a while I thought GoDaddyβs 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.
