    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.

    @Namecheap Fix your servers!!! 33% packet lost to 8.8.8.8 is unacceptable even for a server in Africa. Your tech support telling me to reboot and change hostname. They clueless. This is a serious production software. Fix your servers and educate your tech support!!!

    i remember the first time I bought domain on NameCheap the first thing I did in 10 minutes - transferred domain to CloudFlare luckily to me it was .com - so no issues with that

  • steveMmattison

    @LotusPeptideCom @PeptideSupplyCo From Grok Expert: Compare & contrast Hostinger and Namecheap domain registrars to Cloudflare. I've heard Hostinger and Namecheap are quick to suspend websites for little reason. What's the truth about suspended websites, and does it happen very much on Cloudflare. Specifically for Peptide selling sites.Hostinger/Namecheap vs Cloudflare Registrar: Hostinger/Namecheap: Cheap initial domains + hosting bundles; quick suspensions for abuse, phishing reports (often false), WHOIS issues, or illegal content. Namecheap explicitly bans "illegal pharmacy/controlled substances." Cloudflare: Registrar + DNS/proxy only (no hosting); at-cost renewals, top security/DNS; suspensions rare, only for legal/TOS violations—not quick content takedowns. Suspensions truth (esp. peptides): Common on Hostinger (phishing/abuse complaints); some on Namecheap for pharmacy-like sites. Rare on Cloudflare. Peptides (unapproved drugs) carry high risk everywhere—Namecheap bans them outright; Cloudflare least aggressive.

    @Namecheap @DoppelHQ @cobie How can you just suspend domain without any warning or asking for explanation? Because you definitely do not have any proof of phishing, that’s for sure. Its an external bloody link tracked with my domain’s short URL. Have you even clicked on a link? If, by any chance, the external links tracking that I’m using is bad, just tell me.

    @Namecheap So, you are not going to take action against the domain simply because it removed the subdomain? The root domain is the threat, and it continues to create subdomains with this content. This is not an isolated issue.

  • sebbhulme
    Sebastian Hulme (@sebbhulme) reported

    You need more domains than you think and you need to buy them smarter than you probably are. Grab them from Porkbun or Namecheap. Spaceship is my favourite. Never from your email provider directly because the markup is criminal. Buy variations of your main domain with prefixes and suffixes. If your company is called Acme then you want getacme, acmehq, tryacme, acmegroup Dot com is ideal but dot co and dot info work fine too. Figure out how many emails you want to send per day Divide by 30 for Google inboxes Then divide by three And that tells you how many domains you need. Sending 3,000 a day means you need 100 inboxes across maybe 30 to 35 domains and that sounds like a lot until you realise domains cost about 10 quid each for a year. People try to run big volume off 3 domains and then wonder why their sender reputation is in the bin by week two.

    @ethanjaack The few legacy sites in my portfolio are being converted to static builds with serverless backends... The biggest problem I have with Namecheap is moving hundreds of domains out to another provider with a reasonable API & Terraform provider.

    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.

    @Onepeg No one should reach out to them, they request your id to verify your the owner to take down content, you should go to their registarar which I beleive is namecheap and file a DMCA with them

    Guys, I genuinely need help 😭 I need to buy a domain. Is Namecheap really worth it? The renewal prices are kinda high… and Porkbun feels the same. Any better domain registrar with low renewal prices and overall cheaper costs? I'm broke 💀

    Shipping SnappyName v2 this week It's a terrible business idea. I know > Saturated category. Every major registrar has a domain names generator > Most are free > The main keyword "domain name generator" is locked by GoDaddy, Namecheap, Shopify, Hostinger, etc > Domain buying is impulsive. Decisions happen in seconds > Naming is emotional, not rational. The heart picks, not the spreadsheet that tells you what to buy > The average buyer registers 1-2 domains a year. No recurrence, no LTV > The good .coms are gone. Result quality degrades structurally every year So why am I shipping it anyway? 1/ All existing domain name generators are rotten... I think everyone agrees with me on this! 2/ It can still make $200-500/month. Not life-changing. But a real, if modest, cash stream 3/ It's a sellable asset. Even at $300/month, that's a $3-4K exit 4/ This is my first SaaS that I developed 100% on my own and bootstrapped. No more fundraising of hundreds K€ and a technical team of 10 devs behind me. That's the most important thing, I'm very proud of what I've built myself 💪 So, I ship v2 this week and we'll see what happens!

    real monthly infra cost of a solo SaaS in 2026: - Supabase free: ₹0 - Railway starter: ₹800 - Resend free (3K emails): ₹0 - Cloudflare free: ₹0 - UptimeRobot free: ₹0 - Sentry free (5K errors): ₹0 - PostHog free (1M events): ₹0 - Vercel hobby: ₹0 - Namecheap domain: ₹900/year - Anthropic API (light usage): ₹500–2K total: under ₹2,000/month the "I can't afford to build" excuse died in 2024. what's the real reason?
