    @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.

    My current indie hacker stack in 2026: - Claude for Coding - Stripe for Payments - GitHub for Version Control - Vercel for Deployment - Supabase for Backend - Clerk for Auth - Upstash for Redis - Pinecone for Vector DB - Resend for Emails - Namecheap for Domain - Cloudflare for DNS - PostHog for Analytics - Sentry for Error Tracking You can build and ship a complete startup from your bedroom in 2026. The barrier has never been lower 💪

    @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

  • QirisitiReturns
    Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reported

    This is the issue. i hope i don't sound entitled. On @Namecheap I had a domain that was expiring in a day, and stellar hosting had already expired. so i added domain renewal and hosting renewal yearly subscription, plus helping services to my cart and paid 45 USD thread..

    @ronisarkar_exe I’ve found Namecheap has better customer support! Super helpful when issues arise!

  • realsimonzaku_
    Dr. Simon Taki Zaku, D.B.A (@realsimonzaku_) reported

    What tools do I need to start? You usually need a domain, hosting, professional website, clear service pages, founder profile, testimonials, analytics, business email, payment route, content plan, and strong WhatsApp or contact funnel. Tools like Namecheap, DreamHost, Hostinger, Geegpay, ClickMeeting, and CartFlows can support the system when used with a clear strategy.

    I’ve usually had very good experiences with @Namecheap and their customer service but today I have been on with a live agent for more than 30 mins and they can’t resolve my issue after wasting my time they are now transferring me to a different department. SMH

    @namemaxicom @NamePros @Namecheap Haha didn't mean to be rude! I use your tool religiously and have made 7 figures from flips on it, was just pointing it out.

    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

    it 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?

    @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.

    1 prompt. Claude builds a $2,000/week website from scratch. Here’s the exact system, step by step. Most people build sites the wrong way. They hire a developer for $3,000–8,000. Wait 3–6 weeks. Get something generic. Then pay another $500/month to maintain it. The new way: 1 prompt. 45 minutes. Launch-ready. WHAT YOU’RE BUILDING A niche service landing page conversion-optimized, Stripe-integrated, SEO-structured that targets a local or vertical market with $200–500 average order value. Target: $2,000/week minimum by week 4. THE PROMPT ARCHITECTURE Your 1 prompt has 4 layers: → Layer 1 Business context “I’m building a [niche] service site targeting [city/audience]. Average order: $[X]. Primary CTA: book a call / buy now.” → Layer 2 Stack spec “Build in HTML/CSS/JS, Stripe Checkout embedded, Calendly widget for booking, Google Analytics 4 ready.” → Layer 3 Content skeleton “Homepage: hero with pain point + 3 benefits + social proof section + FAQ + CTA. No blog. No filler.” → Layer 4 Conversion rules “Above the fold: 1 headline, 1 subheadline, 1 button. No nav clutter. Mobile-first. Load under 2 seconds.” Paste all 4 layers into Claude as 1 message. Hit send. WHAT CLAUDE DELIVERS IN 45 MINUTES → Full HTML file, production-ready → Stripe Checkout flow embedded → Mobile layout done → Meta tags + OG data for social sharing → Contact form wired to Formspree (free tier) You copy the output. Drop into Netlify or Vercel. Live in 8 minutes. Domain: $12/year on Namecheap. Hosting: $0. Total launch cost: $12. REALISTIC REVENUE PROGRESSION Week 1 Site live. Run $50 in Meta ads to local audience. 3 conversions at $150 = $450. Week 2 Add Google Business Profile. 2 organic calls. 1 closes. $200. Week 3 Raise price 20%. Run retargeting on the 60 visitors who didn’t convert. $600. Week 4 Email the 3 week-1 buyers. Ask for referrals. 2 referrals at $250 = $500 + repeat. Total week: $2,100+. The site didn’t change. The traffic system compounded.

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

  • TomoLifeUpdates
    Tomodachi Life Updates (@TomoLifeUpdates) reported

    @Namecheap We'd appreciate it if your abuse team could take a look at tomodachilife[.]gg and tomoez[.]com (X has flagged both domains in posts already). We've received multiple reports from users who believed these sites were associated with an official web version/port of Nintendo's Tomodachi Life. The sites appear to be hosting a CAPTCHA scam disguised as an in-game Tomodachi Life menu, using Nintendo's branding and trademark in a way that may mislead users. A separate domain hosting the same scam, tomodachilife[.]cc, has already been taken down following reports. Could someone from your team review these domains and their operators or direct us to the appropriate reporting channel?

    @Namecheap Almost a day 'fighting' with your tech team about port 80 blocked (VPS). Proof: fresh installs, external tests, logs — packets time out externally on :80 while :8080 works! Your team just points back at me. Can someone from your network/infra team really look at this?

    @faa0311 Whatever you do stay away from @Namecheap. Once they had an issue with SMS OTP and users were locked out for months with no recourse.
