Brian Lee Mayes ✞ ❞𝓢𝓲𝔁❞ 𝓢𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓛𝓮𝓮 (@BrianLeeMayes) reported@Namecheap Turns out, y'all were doing maintenance, with no notice I could find. That should probably be shown on what ever login screen one uses...just a thought. Being 3rd party, IDK how that would work. I'm still talking to them about switching away from Roundcube. They don't know how.
-
Alex @Bickov (@bickov) reported@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.
-
Rob (@RobGuerra90) reported@YashHustle_22 I use Namecheap, their interface is clean and their support is actually helpful, no regrets here
-
prabhat (@prbhtkumr) reportedi've said this before and i'll say it again. namecheap is not hated enough. **** you @Namecheap. die slow.

Uday👨💻 (@uday_devops) reported@adahstwt I think namecheap is best but their renewal cost is not same that is the issue
-
Luca Capone | Vibe Coder (@LucaCaponeX) reported@buildwithmaya @Namecheap Namecheap funded a whole graveyard of my half-built ideas. Buying the domain takes 5 minutes. Shipping the actual thing is where I disappear for 3 months. The domain was never the hard part.
-
Christina Panina (@ChristinaPanin1) reported@justdevopsguy @Namecheap We dug deeper: a network hiccup occurred on ~0.005% of accounts, including yours, causing a longer 20 min delay. You saw a temporary migration lock to maintain account integrity. The lock lifted automatically afterward. Our team is also fixing load spikes that may cause slowness.

prabhat (@prbhtkumr) reported@vivekteega @Namecheap @snigdhasur hey i'm glad that it has worked for you, i doubt most people using such a well known service for standard domain holding would have much issues. but namecheap has made a life long hater out of me and i would do my best to divert any and all business to better alternatives.

ƒrαeყ (@fraey0) reportedit costs about $21/month to run what could become a multi-million dollar startup • human brain = reasoning (free) • claude = coding ($20/mo) • supabase = backend (free) • vercel = deployment (free) • namecheap = domain ($12/yr) • stripe = payments (2.9%/trx) • github = versioning (free) • resend = email (free) • clerk = auth (free) • cloudflare = DNS (free) • posthog = analytics (free) • sentry = error tracking (free) • upstash = redis (free) • pinecone = vector DB (free) everything sums up to roughly $20 to $25 per month so, the tools are not the barrier anymore. most ideas don’t fail because they’re expensive to build. they fail because they never get built at all. what’s stopping you?

Mila Chervenkova 🍩 (@MilaChervenkova) reported@_maxantonov @GoDaddy @Cloudflare I use NameCheap and I am super happy with their support.
-
openwa (@openwadev) reported@mddanishyusuf @Cloudflare @Namecheap split between cf and porkbun. dont put all your domains in one basket, especially the one you use to log in to the domain service.
-
Mikhail Rogov (@i_mika_el) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap very strange. did Namecheap support confirm there is no manual transfer path either?
-
Umar Saeed (@UmarSaeedX) reported@neurocoode @anupamrjp I prefer Namecheap for better pricing and support.
-
Ramon J. Thomas (@RamonJThomasMBA) reported@AxxessInternet @WordPress I want to move my hosting from @Namecheap after 12 years to someone in South Africa, but it must have good international bandwith support bandwidth

Atta 🐬 (@attacomsian) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC runs .de transfers through a KK code and the registrar has to be a member or work via a partner. a lot of resellers only built the registration side and never the transfer one.

Carla Alvarez - Raised to Walk (@RaisedtoWalk) reported@YouTube @Restreamio @Namecheap One of the other things snaking MCN owners can do is enforced "content standardization" on videos in their network ... even if they HIJACKED the channel into it and even if the video is uploaded to another account. Which they have obviously done on this video

Kevin Blackburn (@ccie62000) reportedWell, it appears someone bought my old domain that was unused there for a bit and is hosting an old clone of the site with all links going to a spam page. Here’s to hoping the @Namecheap abuse team can help. Never a dull moment 😒
-
Chris Seltzer (@ChrisSeltzer) reported@neerajjj6785 Really depends on what you're using it for and where your stuff will be hosted. If you're using a platform like AWS then buying it through them can save you some headaches down the line. Otherwise I've always used Namecheap but heard good things about Cloudflare.
-
Rian (@Rian_Visser) reported@ItsKamranK You must use Cloudflare's nameservers for any domain registered or transferred through Cloudflare Registrar. No support for IDNs. No thank you, I do not have these restrictions and limitations with @Namecheap and will happily pay the increased fee to have control over my domain.
