    @glosseantics Holy **** I gotta do that. The first time I failed to link up a namecheap domain of my own to cloudflare pages, and couldn't diagnose the problem, but I should try again

  • sidehustleopps DomainNames.vc (@sidehustleopps) reported

    @Namecheap If this is true, it's extremely unethical business to allow a domain to go all the way through an auction, have a winning bid & then cancel it the day afterwards. Please make the step from "sorry for any possible inconveniences" to change your policies so it doesn't happen again.

    Is there still no good product around finding the closest domain names to my interest with LLMs? I love NameCheap but their domain finder sucks

  • _k0lapo KOLAPO (@_k0lapo) reported

    namecheap live support is actually very good

  • PlayAutonomous_ Dennis H (@PlayAutonomous_) reported

    @NamecheapCEO @mikemanndotcom I'm gonna follow you to see what else you're up to, and yes I'm still a fan of Namecheap's services even though they seem slow and overpriced. It's convenient enough to manage.

  • GOWTHAMSREE3620 Ragnar Lothbrok (@GOWTHAMSREE3620) reported

    Hey @Namecheap, I’m facing a serious billing issue. Multiple charges were deducted for Orders #187500264 and #187501981, but the order is still not getting confirmed. Only one refund shows up while money was deducted multiple times + an extra $1 charge. I’ve emailed billing.fix.

    @IceSolst Speaking of, I just found two malicious mods for the game Schedule 1 that download XWorm lol Gotta coordinate with namecheap and see if I can get the actual C2 host down as well.

    When cloudfare was down, i thought of switching dns, but @Namecheap was also using cloudfare, so I couldn't access the namecheap also. This shouldn't be the case Namecheap! Else we are all just stuck and can't even change our DNS.

  • Lordomainer Mor (@Lordomainer) reported

    @Namecheap Thanks but the name is in auction with 7 bidders. Too late. The issue is in general with the business arrangement between houses and partners. A partner must not be allowed to retract a domain once an auction ends with bids. That clause is conveniently missing from the contract.
