Sean Coker (@okcoker) reportedI later found out, you can no longer even register this TLD on the Namecheap website because they have sunsetted them according to customer "support" 3/

K S (@kj_kjato) reported@Namecheap Furthermore, I will explode that youβve never invested anything and immediately replied that claims are unfounded when clearly they are not. You donβt want me to expose you and your bullshit customer service.π‘π‘

Saud Ilyas (@saud_ilyas) reportedFor 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 thatβs a very big headache doing one by one, so iβll pass for now!

Mike (@ibuildcoolshit) reported@kapilansh_twt Namecheap customer for 20+ years just left them for cloudflare

Andrew Warner (@AndrewWarner) reportedGoodbye 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.

Rian (@Rian_Visser) reported@YashHustle_22 Namecheap. Been with them for a couple for a couple decades now. Easy to use systems, great customer support, never had a single problem with a domain name registered through them.

Diluc (@hsaffiliate2025) reportedThis indie dev built a 100% free URL shortener β and it reportedly makes $1,000/month. Bitly and TinyURL now charge $29/month just for custom slugs and basic click tracking. He saw the gap and built shorlnk. Free for everything most people need: custom aliases, click stats, QR codes. Paid only for team features, higher API limits, custom domains. Hereβs the exact model: β’ Free: unlimited short links, custom slugs, basic analytics β’ Pro ($9/mo): more API calls, advanced stats, priority support β’ Team ($29/mo): collaboration, custom domain, dedicated support He open-sourced the revenue number on IndieHackers (his claim, not verified). Tech stack: React + Tailwind, Node.js + Express, PostgreSQL, Vercel + AWS, Namecheap. Built in ~3 weeks. Challenges: β Crowded market: he won users by shouting β100% freeβ on Product Hunt and Hacker News. β Server costs from free users: throttled API to 100 req/min. β Abuse risk: built a review system to block phishing links. Is it for you? If you can code, yes. If not, no. $1,000/month sounds nice, but after server costs itβs more like $700β800. And itβs his reported number β not guaranteed. Bottom line: find a niche where big players are greedy, offer the basics for free, and charge for power features. It works, but itβs a grind β not a get-rich-quick play. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #IndieHackers #SideProject

Avdhoottt (@avdhootttt) reportedIf you want to build a startup that actually has users: Claude = coding. (more like $100+) Supabase = backend. ($25-599/mo once you cross free tier) Vercel = deploying. ($20-150+/mo once you get real traffic) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr, ok this one's real) Stripe = payments. (2.9% + 30Β’/transaction) GitHub = version control. (free) Resend = emails. (free until 3k emails, then $20/mo+) Clerk = auth. (free until 10k MAU, then $25/mo+) Cloudflare = DNS. (free, genuinely) PostHog = analytics. (free until you cross the free tier) Sentry = error tracking. (free until errors pile up) Upstash = Redis. (free until real traffic) Pinecone = vector DB. ($70/mo minimum) Total monthly cost to run a startup with actual users: $300-1000+ "$21/mo" is the cost to run a demo nobody uses.

Nakniki (@Nakniki3) reported@ronisarkar_exe Iβve found Namecheap has better customer support! Super helpful when issues arise!
-
Johnny Picante (@JohnnyPic51) reported@CertainLogicAI @buildwithmaya @Namecheap Agreed for the validation phase β cheapest thing that ships wins. Where a geo-TLD earns its keep is after you've got signal and want the URL itself doing some work (local SEO, word-of-mouth memorability) instead of just hosting code.

John van Rijck (@John_ACW) reportedDoes @Namecheap pay their support team based on the amount of minutes they're in an active chat or what? Every support chat opens with: "Please allow me 10-12 minutes to check" Terrible support

Shant (@ShantDotMe) reported@Namecheap for the love of God, please do train your support agents a bit better. It is NOT OK for your agent to tell users to use an IP address, without a valid SSL certificate, to login!!!

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

Ω Ψ±ΩΨ² Ω ΩΨ§Ψ±Ψ§Ψͺ Ψ§ΩΨ₯Ψ¨Ψ―Ψ§ΨΉ ΩΩΨͺΨ―Ψ±ΩΨ¨ (@cstcksa) reported@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.
