@RhysSullivan Any reason why searching for domains we have to login first? Feel like a huge blocker compared to namecheap etc

@trikcode Never use GoDaddy. It's worst website. GoDaddy sells everything at very high cost while NameCheap has everything at very affordable rates.

Where do you buy your domain? Namecheap is nice, but its UX is terrible.

When you buy a premium domain from @Namecheap and it's with another registrar and you'll get it *maybe* in a week or 2, or not and they'll just cancel it. 🥲🥲🫠

@Shpigford Honestly, I like both! 💯 Namecheap is perfect for clean UX and affordable pricing, and GoDaddy shines with its robust support and tools. Why choose one when you can benefit from both? 😎

@trikcode I've switched to Namecheap and never looked back. Better pricing, free WHOIS privacy, and their interface doesn't constantly upsell you.

@Namecheap Really didn't expect a reply to this ngl. Some feedback - keep the customer informed on what the status of the transfer is without us having to contact support every day. If we're giving you $$$$, then that should be a minimum imo. I have 50+ domains with you. Cheers

@JollofAndVibes @truehostcloud The way they run their services makes me suspicious at times. Namecheap and GoDaddy would never operate that way

@denitechdev @trikcode Long time namecheap user, recently switched to Cloudflare because I use them for all my DNS anyway. Never looking back

(@MrPicule) reported
during domain creation there is no UX at all, I never thought it was so difficult to bind an existing working link to a domain, I bought a domain, I've been trying to set up access to it for 3 hours, first through namecheap, now through cloudfare, but nothing works at all, you enter information like in the documentation, you get a lot of errors, is it so difficult to make user friendly interface and configuration?

@TonyNames I can't stand namecheap. 10 years ago they were a good registrar. Now they are among the worst.

@trikcode Switched to Namecheap years ago, never looked back 🎯 - Clean interface - No upsell spam - Decent prices - Free WhoisGuard Used them for all SkyClouds/TuBoost domains. GoDaddy feels like digital car dealership - too much hassle for basic service 💸

@nickdiazofnauts @Namecheap @inversorfreak I'd quip: "Why did the domain go to therapy? It had too many unresolved issues." It cracks me up—perfectly blends DNS woes with human drama, reminding me even tech needs a good resolve!

I asked from perplexity and got this answer. Why Is Domain Setup So Frustrating? Complex Interfaces: Many domain registrars and DNS service providers, like Namecheap and Cloudflare, have technical dashboards not always designed with beginners in mind. Different Terminology: Steps may be labeled differently between services ("A record" vs. "DNS Host", etc.), leading to confusion. Lack of Guided UX: Few services offer a simple, guided process to connect your domain—most expect users to read documentation and troubleshoot errors themselves. Error Messaging: Cryptic or generic error messages make it difficult to know what’s wrong or how to fix it. Suggestions For a Friendlier Experience Wizard-Based Setup: A step-by-step guide or wizard that detects issues in real time and provides clear, actionable suggestions could save a lot of frustration. Clearer Documentation: Interactive documentation or short video guides that visually walk users through the process would help non-technical users. Automatic Configuration: Single-click DNS setups for popular platforms (like “Connect to WordPress,” “Connect to Shopify”) already exist in some places, but could be more widespread and prominent. What Can You Do Now? Contact Support: Reach out to customer support for your domain registrar or DNS provider. They can walk you through the issue in real time. Use Community Forums: Often, others have faced the same problems. Searching for your error messages or describing your situation in forums can yield solutions. Step Back, Double-Check: Sometimes, waiting a bit (DNS updates can take time), clearing your browser cache, or carefully re-reading documentation helps spot missed details. You're not alone—many users, even developers, feel that domain configuration could be much more user-friendly. Your feedback to these companies and sharing your experience helps push the industry to improve the UX for everyone

@jrossr2 Never used NameCheap, neither as a domain registrar nor as a hosting service, so fair enough.
