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.

Blake Ryan (@blakefakhoury) reported@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.

QARTIFY (@QArtify28) reported@vivoplt Namecheap is good, but if you want best service after purchase, GoDaddy

... (@irucsbo) reported.@Namecheap stole my funds and refuses to provide a real solution or proper support. Extremely disappointing experience with a company I trusted for years. Criminal organization. Avoid at all costs.

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

Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reported@Namecheap upon checking my hosting list there was nothing, talking to support they say that i have been refunded stellar, but there is no confirmation email of that. hmm, on the domain they said it was put on auction and i cant access it or recover it

Great Bin Elroi (@OgaGreat) reportedInternational companies understands customer care ! @Namecheap can reply even at 12 midnight ! That is a company that is customer oriented .

Zara_Schneider (@ZSchneider76107) reported@MacdevM Mostly comes down to control and pricing for me Cloudflare and Namecheap usually stand out for clean management and no unnecessary upsells ๐

Diluc (@hsaffiliate2025) reportedThis indie dev built a 100% free URL shortener โ 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. Hereโs the exact model: โข Free: unlimited short links, custom slugs, basic analytics โข Pro ($9/mo): more API calls, advanced stats, priority support โข 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: โ Crowded market: he won users by shouting โ100% freeโ on Product Hunt and Hacker News. โ Server costs from free users: throttled API to 100 req/min. โ 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 itโs more like $700โ800. And itโs his reported number โ 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 itโs a grind โ not a get-rich-quick play. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #IndieHackers #SideProject

Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reportedThis 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..

Prashant Singh (@prashant_gigs) reportedI don't know when the domain registrars will understand user experience is as important as your domain service. --- okish -------- - hostinger - godaddy ---- garbage ---------- - namecheap

Dฬธอฬaฬถอฬrฬทอฬkฬถออlฬธฬฬญyฬธออ (@ADesignerDarkly) reported@Hexangelo5 You are right about that! Pulsechain,com is registered through there, as are lots of other pulsechain project websites. While Namecheap built its brand on privacy advocacy (e.g., fighting for customer data protection in courts), control now sits largely with a Luxembourg-based PE giant whose incentives are financial returns, not ideological privacy maximalism. The registrant data required by ICANN lives in a system where EU corporate oversight meets US legal demands. In an era of rising data breaches, surveillance, and regulatory flux, relying on any large registrar under PE ownership means trusting opaque boardroom decisions with your identity footprint. Diversifying to independent or privacy-first alternatives reduces single points of failure.

David O. Ehibor (@grayontop_) reported@AlfinCodes Namecheap altho I had a bad experience with them and it took time to get resolved. Cloudfare is a better option.

Aaron (@aarons_takes) reported@MustaAras I think it comes down to normie's perceptions of Namecheap/Spaceship registrars vs GoDaddy. Very much IMHO.
