    @CodeWithAmann NameCheap never buy a domain from Cloudflare you won’t be able to use another hosting provider like WordPress, Google Cloud, or AWS. Hostinger is usually just slow and buggy.

    @rozzabuilds I'm switching to Cloudflare from Namecheap for domains where I don't need custom domain email support

    Why is everyone saying @Namecheap is bad? Used them for a decade at this point and have no complaints.

    @SomanathDi48172 Namecheap. Also never search your domain idea on Godaddy, they'll buy it up and ask you to pay premium

    Delivery: SMTP via Namecheap. Port 465 SSL. Gmail was blocked day 4. Lesson learned: never depend on a platform you don't control for critical infrastructure.

    Mine works very well...I use it to pay for backblaze cloud, cloudflare r2, workers, domains subscriptions, namecheap domains and OVH cloud and no issues for a year now. Before I tried the Airtel one but it couldn't pay for backblaze service so I switched to MTN and it's fine

    @BowTiedMeerkat @vivoplt Namecheap is the worst domain provider you could ever use and recommend. Don't.

    @anmol_biz @spaceship Namecheap for me. Tried others, but their UI and support just work. GoDaddy's upsells drive me nuts 🤔

    @RaenestApp Your customer care is ignoring me! I made a payment with my virtual card for a Namecheap service. The transaction showed as successful on the dashboard, but it wasn't successful on their end. I made a complaint but still no response. This is scary!

    It has never been easier to create a 7 figure startup from your home: > Claude for coding ($20/mo) > Supabase for backend (FREE) > Vercel for deploying (FREE) > GitHub for version control (FREE) > Namecheap for domain ($12/yr) > Cloudflare for DNS (FREE) > PostHog for analytics (FREE) > Sentry for error tracking (FREE) > Stripe for payments (2.9% per trans.) Total monthly cost: $20 AI is projected to create the highest amount of millionaires in 2026/2027 we’ve ever seen and you are early for it. Get to work.

    @Namecheap @Porkbun Do I need to contact Support Team to add an IPv6 address to a glue record?

    Note to @Namecheap: When I ask for support because your stuff isn't working, I want you to fix it, not say "yeah, we looked, it's us not you, you should try these things and let us know if you doing our job for us doesn't work, so THEN maybe we'll do what you're paying us for."

    I've been with @Namecheap since 2010 and I buy all my domains through them. Well, because of a payday issue, I've lost one and I'm not happy. It's now in auction and I likely won't be able to get it back. I had a website attached to it.

    Thanks to @Namecheap for the quick action in suspending the fraudulent service.

    @CiCorpAfrica Hey @CiCorpAfrica, got it. Do you prefer Hostinger/Namecheap over GoDaddy because of price or support? Just wondering since I keep using GoDaddy for renewals... hate the interface but it works.

    @melvynx Please don't use neon and namecheap is not slow. That's a total lie

  • always_bulish
    Sulik (@always_bulish) reported

    @Namecheap @DoppelHQ @cobie How can you just suspend domain without any warning or asking for explanation? Because you definitely do not have any proof of phishing, that’s for sure. Its an external bloody link tracked with my domain’s short URL. Have you even clicked on a link? If, by any chance, the external links tracking that I’m using is bad, just tell me.

    @melvynx @sepiropht Slow? Slow for what? You are just getting a domain. I have my bot automatically purchase a domain using namecheap api. I set the Nameservers to digital ocean and I am done.

    Marcelo Retana (@MarceloRet41877) reported

    @adahstwt Namecheap is a super awful decision. You could use something better such as Vercel domains or Hostinger. Namecheap is too bad now.
