  @tomilola_ng Namecheap sucks though 😭 Namecheap VPS is just Hostinger in a different coat. Low initial cost, ridiculous renewal prices as well, and a predatory domain expiration pipeline that funnels your forgotten domains straight to their marketplace auctions.

  @TTrimoreau None. *Godaddy-pricy, had market place problems. *Hostinger+cloudflare-wouldnt use, not their niche *Namesilo-had major security incident, noone cared. *namecheap-not cheap, cluttered UI, intrusive upsells *spaceship-cheaper than internetbs, terrible UI

  @ChrisProd_ @Echotheglitch8 What Glitch is probably doing right now is probably consulting with the Registrar (NiceNIC, which they also don't use. Glitch uses Tucows, Namecheap, and GoDaddy) to get the domain taken down. Or, they might not be doing anything. Who knows.

  @namecheap please enable Lightning Network on your BTCPay server checkout.

  LND (@y1vl3vy) reported 29 minutes ago

  @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.

  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

  @GLAsk1d @Namecheap I shut it down for the night after I posted the thread. I'll get it up tomorrow. Ping me if you don't see me posting it before lunch.

  Glitch uses 3 different registrars, and never have their organization name publicly listed. - GoDaddy (Glitch Store, TheWackyWatch) - NameCheap (TheProphecy, ParkPlanet, Store Redirects) - Tucows (GlitchProd) They don't use NiceNIC, which is what the Solver site uses. 10/20

  @adahstwt Namecheap for years then switched to Cloudflare and never looked back. no markup, no upsells, no drama 🫶

  @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO It's been almost a week now since my business websites are down because my namecheap server is down and support team can't even turn on the server so my team can connect to bring my sites back up. Who will be responsible for my business losses. I hope someone from namecheap will show some courage and at least turn on the server which I am paying for. Also there is no phone number to call and speak to someone so only way to communicate is either email or chat. Such a horrible service they don't care what it means to a business which heavily rely on website and it's been down for this long.

  Resolver Vicky | Dev 🔧 (@resolvervicky) reported 41 minutes ago

  Cloudflare Registrar sells domains at cost and they make zero profit on domain registration. It's a loss leader to get you on their platform. That's why the renewal price never spikes. Namecheap's first-year discount is a customer acquisition trick; the real price is the renewal. Agree?

  @namecheapceo123 I used Namebase (owned by @Namecheap) to manage my funds. Three months ago, you sold the platform without notifying your clients. Since Namecheap sold the platform, I have lost access to my funds, and this issue has now been ongoing for more than three months.

  Adel Bucetta (@adelbucetta) reported 49 minutes ago

  @rozzabuilds usually buy from registrar first, then use a registrar-agnostic service like cloudflare for namecheap or google domains. don't need another middleman between me and my registrars

  Waking up to @Namecheap being down is not how I wanted to finish off my weekend. I've never seen an outage like this before with them!

  @Namecheap I'm working on behalf of your client. You won't be able to help me directly. We're in a hurry right now.

  Sebastian Hulme (@sebbhulme) reported 56 minutes ago

  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.

  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.

  @elgermerlo @GoDaddy @Cloudflare GoDaddy isn’t even a consideration for me.. it’s Cloudflare first place or namecheap for TLDs that Cloudflare doesn’t support yet

  Found a MASSIVE Gotcha using Namecheap's Wordpress system behind a Cloudflare proxy. Editors can't login! Can't seem to fix!
