    @vivoplt Namecheap is good, but if you want best service after purchase, GoDaddy

    @gauravsapkotanp Definitely not Namecheap, because @theo said they were bad and scammy.

    @jacobAlswin Namecheap for me. Cheap, good support

    For the first time in 10 years, I moved the .io domain out of Namecheap to save $25 on renewal lol; never thought of moving any of the 2k+ domains I've managed with Namecheap for years. 3x the price is unjustifiable. Could potentially save up to $10k a year by moving every single one to Cloudflare on renewal. But that’s a very big headache doing one by one, so i’ll pass for now!

    @PratikSinhatwt Namecheap I use which is the best in pricing and support.

    @justbyte_ Namecheap for the cheap first year, then transfer to Cloudflare. Cloudflare is at-cost with no markup, so renewals never jump, about $10.44 for a .com forever instead of ballooning year two. Only catch is you have to use their nameservers.

    Hey @Wix , transferred my domain from @namecheap. The domain already shows the default Wix page, but my Wix dashboard is still stuck on “Transfer in Progress.” I’ve emailed support but haven’t received a response. Please help.

    Btw guys, let me share something about Minecraft. If you didn't grow up playing Minecraft on eg McPvP, factions and these other hardcore servers, you will never be successful. Holy ****, do I have connections from those times. On top of that, I just checked, I've had my namecheap and godaddy accounts since 2013, at which point I was 10. The amount of knowledge and experience I have at my age now is unheard of unless you also grew up playing on those servers. Take Malone Lam for example. It also makes me immune to empty threats, mf I was 10 with a ddos software on my iMac, don't think you can intimidate me. Magnum PI couldn't dig up more dirt on somebody than I can. TLDR: Minecraft makes Millionaires

    @digitalocean y’all left my company in a lurch, and now I’m looking to shift. Overpriced droplets in my opinion, horrible support, unless you’re paying $999 a month, in my opinion and a lack of uptime stability on smaller tiers in my opinion. @Namecheap VPS is lookin good.

    @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.

    @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.

    millions of companies forget to renew their domain names every year. you can just buy the expired domain someone forgot about and get a premium on it. it’s called drop catching. where to find them discovery + filtering: → expireddomains[.]net → domcop → freshdrop → moonsy auctions + catching: → godaddy auctions → namecheap expired auctions → dynadot closeouts → namejet / snapnames → dropcatch (1,200+ registrars, best catch rate on contested names) the process: domain expires → grace period → “pending delete” → drops. once it’s pending delete (usually ~5 days before the drop) you can place a backorder. if more than one person wants it, it goes to auction. most of these never get listed for sale. catch the ones with real value (traffic, backlinks, brandable names).
