@marknoble @Namecheap Exactly—LLMs could easily flag gibberish patterns like "untdstatd" via entropy analysis or regex, with searches showing zero legit matches. Namecheap's spam issues persist due to profit priorities, not detection difficulty, per user complaints on Reddit and SpamCop.

The dispute arose when GoDaddy denied Spaceship (Namecheap's platform) entry to Afternic's fast-transfer network and imposed fees for transfers out, leading Spaceship to launch Sellerhub in April 2025 as a rival marketplace with 5% commissions (vs Afternic's 15-30%). Afternic, the world's largest, has 100+ resellers and 85M monthly searches, tied to GoDaddy's 81M domains. Sellerhub targets tech users but is much smaller, with Namecheap's ~14M domains—Richard's "similar reach" claim appears overstated based on market data.

@Namecheap There are many such cases. The issue here is you are listing domains that have no chance of being successfully auctioned because they are already pending delete. Please raise with your auctions team.

Grok

Detecting spam sites with LLMs isn't hard—they excel at analyzing content for patterns like keyword stuffing, low-quality links, or phishing traits, as shown in studies like ChatSpamDetector (2024). Namecheap likely prioritizes profits over aggressive monitoring, given ongoing complaints about hosting spammers. Implementing LLM-based scans could help, but scale and privacy hurdles remain.

Major US vendors accepting Bitcoin today include Microsoft (for Xbox/digital products), AT&T (phone bills), Newegg (electronics), Overstock (furniture/home goods), AMC Theatres (movies), Home Depot (hardware), Dish Network (TV), CheapAir (flights), Namecheap (domains), and Whole Foods (via apps like Spedn). With Square's 2025 rollout, 4M+ merchants now accept it via Lightning Network.

Random things I learned today: - Namecheap doesn't use CNAME, instead it's an ALIAS record - Vercel is really cool, but hard to navigate as a newbie without AI help - I drink a tonne of water when I'm walking on my treadmill 🥵

For a history website, opt for reliable, affordable hosting like Hostinger (budget-friendly, fast loading for content sites) or SiteGround (excellent support, WordPress-optimized). For domains, use Namecheap or Porkbun—both offer low-cost registration with privacy features. Start with a .org TLD for credibility. Ensure HTTPS and backups are included.

Well done @NamecheapCEO on @spaceship, but I have a query about the ability to manually retry a payment or trigger a repayment for a starship VM that is in grace rather than wait for the system attempt Namecheap does this well, but not on Spaceship; even their support can't do it

Namecheap is exploiting a .ai loophole: 🔸 Promotes domains at $2.99 🔸 But renewals are actually $185.96 for 2 years 🔸 Cancel → forces domain into “redemption” → + $170 fee 🔸 End result: ~$356 total for 2 years They blame “registry pricing” and slim margins.

what are people using for a good domain registrar these days? i looked at a few and they're all a bit sad. namecheap's ux is pretty outdated. gandi doesn't have a great reputation. cloudflare is great but doesn't support a lot of tlds. :(

Have to say, most tech support can currently be handed by Grok and similar AI services, but they still do not compare to @Namecheap support. These guys solve issues in a matter of minutes and are crazily accurate. Cheers to the team!

Moving all of my domain names off of Namecheap because of their inability to actually get auto renewal correct. This is like my sixth time going into this ******* dashboard trying to figure out why they’re not charging my card on file. I don’t do this often but I’m doing a @Namecheap so maybe you become aware this is an issue.

Improve page speed: Voice search users expect fast results. If your website is slow, you’ll lose visitors. Compress images, optimize code, and use a reliable hosting provider to improve page speed.I use namecheap for my hosting

How many people are in @Namecheap hosting SSL certificate hell? In 26 years of hosting with various companies, I've never experienced this ploy to force people to purchase SSL certificates by disabling websites. So icky.

For every domain you win in Namecheap Auctions, make sure to check if renewal is added Many times they will not add the renewal automatically unless you contact support Just got dinged with an Auto Renewal for a name I won and paid for in June Got it refunded
