  • chaseonxcom Chase (@chaseonxcom) reported

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

  • TickerInvest0 TickerInvest (@TickerInvest0) reported

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

  • reichswanderer Nnanna (@reichswanderer) reported

    @GO54_hq ngl y'all have the worst site hosting I've seen, I can't lie... I should have just made the purchase on namecheap

  • renxzen Renx (@renxzen) reported

    @trikcode @Namecheap **** godaddy bro

  • ChristoRibeiro Christophe Ribeiro (@ChristoRibeiro) reported

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

  • notsmv smv (@notsmv) reported

    @Namecheap thank you so much for the lightning fast response, I'll provide my transaction ID from the transaction that failed in DMs also again... damn that was FAST

  • httpmohib mohib (@httpmohib) reported

    **** u namecheap i solved my problem on my own

  • signlr siggy (@signlr) reported

    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. 🥲🥲🫠

  • gbarnev George Barnev (@gbarnev) reported

    @trikcode I've been using Namecheap for about 3 years now - never had any issues.

  • Zeeshanalizul01 Zeeshan Ali (@Zeeshanalizul01) reported

    @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? 😎

  • TrunkFuture Andie Nguyen (@TrunkFuture) reported

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

  • SellingStrikes BL3 (@SellingStrikes) reported

    @trikcode Don’t use MochaHost.. bunch of scammers They’re using the oldest tricks in book on small businesses.. it’s disgusting 🤮 🤮🤮 @Namecheap is great.. never any issues. Their Customer Service is top notch.

  • TickerInvest0 TickerInvest (@TickerInvest0) reported

  • signlr siggy (@signlr) reported

    @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

  • grx_xce Grace Li (@grx_xce) reported

    @trikcode love namecheap customer since 2010

    @trikcode I am using NameCheap. never disappointed

  • MrPicule mrpicule.eth (@MrPicule) reported

    @Namecheap i already fix all by cloudfare and their web3 ipfs integration

  • codetexr Rhema | Your Crypto Plug (@codetexr) reported

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

  • CLeavittnisha Nisha Ranjan (@CLeavittnisha) reported

    @Namecheap @Cloudflare Already reported but due no proper law for cryptocurrency here , Changelly continuously scamming with the help of yours , why you not check your self ? there of tons of complaints on internet ?

  • Jilles Jilles Soeters (@Jilles) reported

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

  • MrPicule mrpicule.eth (@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?

  • Darcymason Darcy - BuyitforLife.com (@Darcymason) reported

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

  • TheBigMave Константин 𓃵 (@TheBigMave) reported

    @Namecheap has best customer support on the planet.

  • andrebuilds Andrea D'Ambrosio (@andrebuilds) reported

    @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 💸

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @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!

  • 131990Singh Anything (kuchbhi) (✸,✸) (@131990Singh) reported

    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

    @Namecheap @trikcode never thought namecheap would reply lol

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