    @SarahBahae Hi! If you mean how you can withdraw money earned from selling domains, it’s only possible to transfer them to your Namecheap funds for new purchases, renewals, etc., or withdraw money to your PayPal account. If you meant something else, please clarify or contact our support team directly for assistance.

    1/ I've been a @Namecheap customer for 5+ yeaers and have lived in Suriname for the last 3. Today they suddenly suspended my account because, according to their records, I "reside in Cuba".

  • binhuaorg Bin Hua (@binhuaorg) reported

    @Namecheap You canceled my domain registration without any notification. This alone is reason enough for me to never use your services again, even though I’ve been a customer for over ten years. Good luck.

  • katerleonid Leonid-Costin Kațer (@katerleonid) reported

    @HadleyMcintosh It seems the domain was won by a Dynadot customer. NameSilo’s expired domains are also distributed through Namecheap, Dynadot, and others, so bidders aren’t limited to NameSilo users. Someone on Dynadot placed a bid, won the auction, and now the domain is listed for sale.

    @NikMilanovic @GoDaddy Been using namecheap for years no problems. Tried cloudflare but they don't let you set NS records which is annoying. GoDaddy is terrible always problems.

    @marccodess Thanks for the feedback! Looks like a formatting glitch in that proofread version. Here's a corrected list of top domain registrars for 2025, based on recent reviews: - Namecheap: Starts ~$6.49 (.com, 1st yr), renews $14-17. Affordable, free WHOIS privacy, 1,500+ TLDs. - Porkbun: $11.06 (.com), no renewal hikes. Budget-friendly, free privacy/SSL. - Cloudflare: $10.44 (.com), at-cost pricing. Great for tech users, integrates with DNS/CDN. - GoDaddy: ~$12 (.com, 1st yr), renews higher. Strong support, many TLDs. - Hostinger: Cheap intros, AI tools, free privacy. Prices vary; check sites for latest.

    @SteveJBurge Can’t stand Namecheap. Moving all my domains and hosting out of there. Their pricing is a mirage and their customer service is horrendous. Unable to solve basic problems, never mind an apology. Horrible.

    4. TECH STACK Why an app? I don't want to host it myself—that's the only reason. - React Native Expo For building the app. Easy to use, and I already had React experience. - Supabase Database. Free, my go-to choice, has everything needed. - Namecheap For domain and email. - ServerSMTP I didn't want to use Supabase's email service, so I chose this one. Allows 200 free emails per month, connected to my domain.

    @aravind @IndianCERT @GoI_MeitY If the crime is established, gov can track them down as there are regulations for VPN servers in India to collect logs and store for a certain period. I remember cause one of the VPNs I was using was banned a couple of years ago. Even Namecheap was banned once.

  • iocodz Raúl C. Rivero (@iocodz) reported

    @Namecheap: I've been a loyal customer for years. You knew where I was from. You took my money. Now you won't even let me transfer what's mine? This isn't compliance. This is abandoning a customer who trusted you. RT if property rights matter. #DigitalRights

  • iocodz Raúl C. Rivero (@iocodz) reported

    I'm a web developer trying to support my family through legitimate work. @Namecheap knew I was Cuban from DAY ONE. They approved my GitHub Student Developer Pack. They processed every single payment without issue. For YEARS this was acceptable. What changed?

    @jasonwoody As far as we know, after the domain expiration date, the Namecheap parking page will be displayed instead of the website🤔 Is there an issue that we can help you with?

  • DCLjasonx Jason (@DCLjasonx) reported

    @odysseyparadise @spaceship @Namecheap they wouldn't be on the list of registrars if they didn't support it 🫡

  • jasonwoody Jason Wood 🇨🇦🗿 (@jasonwoody) reported

    @Namecheap I renewed the domain so it's solved on my end, but your parking page is still hijacked for any other customer, and I'm still on chat waiting for someone to actually acknowledge the problem.

    10/ @Namecheap fix your records, restore my account, and review your policies. And to everyone reading: remember that sanctions, when blindly applied, don't just hit governments. They hit people like me.

    Here’s the move: Scrape every expired domain off registrars like GoDaddy, Namecheap, and Porkbun. Surface level these are just abandoned URLs, but the gold isn’t in the name – it’s in the metadata. Most expired domains are remnants of real businesses, spinouts, or content plays that left behind breadcrumbs: backlinks, Moz rank, old traffic, brand mentions, even their ghost social media accounts. The play? Revive them with their existing footprint. This isn’t a domain flipping arbitrage where you buy for $10 and sell for $5k (though you can). It’s a signal-growth arbitrage. An asymmetric launchpad to resurrect abandoned relevancy that still carries weight online. First, you build a scraper that pulls every expired domain under specified criteria: backlinks to known publications, archived traffic via tools like Ahrefs, and specific niches (e.g., e-commerce brands, niche blogs, legacy Yelp entries). Run this clean list through OpenCorporates or a state LLC database to pull associated business entity info, previous owner names, and filing statuses. Is the LLC dissolved? Are trademarks still live? These determine how aggressively you can operate post-buyout: either as a cheeky rebrand revival or outright shadow clone. Next, cross-check the ghost site with its archived competitors. Most of these directories and small publishers built backlinks in heavily interlinked ecosystems – rankings in niches like D2C, local services, and content aggregators are HIGHLY parasitic. You don’t have to rebuild a perfect business model; you just attach yourself to their existing domain graph and profit off both borrowed SEO juice and category recall. Here’s an example. I’ve seen expired domains from shuttered furniture startups that still pull 100+ organic hits daily due to legacy Pinterest pins, influencer backlinks, Instagram SEO users tagging the name, and content aggregators that never cleaned their links. You buy the domain for $10, drop a Shopify or Notion “contact me for inventory” placeholder within 12 hours, then link to an active dropship site until traffic stabilizes. You monetize their traffic and customer confusion into private-label arbitrage. Got another layer? Backlink shadowing. Resurrect an abandoned domain and then cold email all existing backlink partners (the blogs, listicles, “Top 10 tools” articles KEEPING their SEO alive). Your email is simple: “Hi – the URL on your page linking to X is broken. My team has repaired it following a brand merge. Could you swap links to our updated page?” Most content managers don’t blink. Boom, you just highjacked hundreds of inbound organic links from zombie domains AND leftover active competitor pages. Scaling involves operating vertical-specific “ghost farms.” Bundle entire micro-niches – abandoned domains of elder law firms, SaaS pricing comparison blogs, legacy templates-for-download libraries – which serve clear resale audiences (think affiliate marketeers, e-commerce grinders, SEO operators). Package these domains, leaving the existing relevance untouched so customers can drop on top of working SEO juice. When layered correctly, this isn’t just individual domain sniping; it’s a system to become the primary operator in any niche left stagnant by abandoned domain inertia. Add one final cherry: feed competitor data. Let their dead URLs become YOUR growth vector. The internet’s graveyard holds ROI. You just need a shovel.
