    @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!!!

    @milanm_ @levelsio @Cloudflare To add here, since CFs offices are in France, they overcomply with every bs EU request, even if you host a service that is US only. They won't do that for the content part, so namecheap registar + CF dns + CF CDN is actually best of both worlds combo.

    @Namecheap Furthermore, I will explode that you’ve never invested anything and immediately replied that claims are unfounded when clearly they are not. You don’t want me to expose you and your bullshit customer service.😑😑

    @Namecheap Warning to all website owners and businesses: Based on our experience, we strongly advise exercising caution before dealing with this hosting provider. We encountered significant difficulties related to account management, communication, and obtaining support regarding our hosting services. Our experience raised serious concerns about the company's practice of relying on third-party agents to manage hosting accounts, which may leave customers vulnerable to disputes, service interruptions, delays in account transfers, or unexpected financial demands. We encourage all customers to carefully review ownership rights, account access credentials, service agreements, and transfer procedures before purchasing hosting services through any intermediary or agent. We have documented our experience and reserve the right to pursue the matter through the appropriate regulatory and legal channels.

    @kalashvasaniya totally agreed, one crucial advice i can give is to keep domain and hosting service different. Will ideally prefer about it can look namecheap or porkbun for domain and netlify or hostinger for hoosting rest please do your own research

    Goodbye SquareSpace. Finally! I've hated having my wife's site on Squarespace. Some consultant set her up with it and I never had the patience to move it. On Sunday I told Claude Code to copy her site to a free @Cloudflare acount. Then I told Claude's Chrome plugin to figure out how to tell NameCheap where to point the domain. So satisfying.

    millions of companies forget to renew their domain names every year. you can just buy the expired domain someone forgot about and get a premium on it. it’s called drop catching. where to find them discovery + filtering: β†’ expireddomains[.]net β†’ domcop β†’ freshdrop β†’ moonsy auctions + catching: β†’ godaddy auctions β†’ namecheap expired auctions β†’ dynadot closeouts β†’ namejet / snapnames β†’ dropcatch (1,200+ registrars, best catch rate on contested names) the process: domain expires β†’ grace period β†’ β€œpending delete” β†’ drops. once it’s pending delete (usually ~5 days before the drop) you can place a backorder. if more than one person wants it, it goes to auction. most of these never get listed for sale. catch the ones with real value (traffic, backlinks, brandable names).

    @cPanel Hi, I upgraded from ImunifyAV+ to Imunify360. I’m now being asked for a license key. I wasn’t provided one and I can’t find a key anywhere in your Client Area and under Orders/Licenses. Your support states to contact Namecheap and is sending me around in circles, but it's nothing to do with them as I purchased the upgrade from you and I can't send a support ticket. Any help would be appreciated.

    @yfly58 Nice one. Boss I need help, I'm trying to set up a business mail. I bought a domain on namecheap, connected it to the Google workshop. I have been trying to activate the Gmail but the MX record I created on namecheap is not working and the activation is failing.

    It has never been cheaper to build a startup. Claude for coding β€” $20/mo Supabase for backend β€” free Vercel for deploys β€” free Namecheap for domain β€” $20/yr Stripe for payments β€” % only GitHub for version control β€” free Resend for emails β€” free Clerk for auth β€” free Cloudflare for DNS β€” free PostHog for analytics β€” free Sentry for error tracking β€” free Upstash for Redis β€” free Pinecone for vector DB β€” free You can literally launch with ~$20/month. The hard part is no longer building. The hard part is getting people to care.

  • saud_ilyas
    Saud Ilyas (@saud_ilyas) reported

    For the first time in 10 years, I moved the .io domain out of Namecheap to save $25 on renewal lol; never thought of moving any of the 2k+ domains I've managed with Namecheap for years. 3x the price is unjustifiable. Could potentially save up to $10k a year by moving every single one to Cloudflare on renewal. But that’s a very big headache doing one by one, so i’ll pass for now!

  • 4Ldotcom
    4L.com (@4Ldotcom) reported

    Note: The domain was using Afternic nameservers and showed the Afternic landing page, so the lead did not come from the domain landing page. The sale was completed through Spaceship, which means the buyer likely came from the Spaceship or Namecheap network/marketplace.

  • bhabhiezayn
    allmylife (@bhabhiezayn) reported

    @namesilo @Namecheap NameSilo dead rate is 60%+ for fresh domains (0-6mo) β€” domains are born dead. Namecheap fresh domains are 25% dead (normal setup delay). This means NameSilo domains were never intended to be used.

    @the_smart_ape Tbh I have nothing to do with it. There are no clear alternatives for gmail. Every other email registrar could fall as well so no point into thinking that switching from google is gonna save you for sure. Namecheap can go down, microsoft as well and every other ******* email registrar.
