  @YashHustle_22 I stick with Namecheap - cheap, decent UI and solid support.

  @robintel And also IONOS was abysmal for setting up DNS stuff (this is partly on Google/Firebase though), never had this issue with namecheap DNS

  @mddanishyusuf @Cloudflare @Namecheap I use namecheap and have had some issues. Probably going to do this too and move to Cloudflare

  @buildwithmaya @Namecheap Namecheap funded a whole graveyard of my half-built ideas. Buying the domain takes 5 minutes. Shipping the actual thing is where I disappear for 3 months. The domain was never the hard part.

  - half of Twitter buys their 15th domain (best week for GoDaddy and Namecheap) - „it’s literally a cheat code to get rich” (*Claude take this ideas and build a landing page*) - “this is literally what I’ve been building” (*** repo created 14 minutes ago) - founders suddenly remember they’ve been “obsessed with this problem for years” (yesterday they were building dual-use AI travel agents) - VCs and Angel investor who passed get pinged „look this is what YC looks for and we are building this” (they hop on a call) - founders spending more time crafting the “We’ve been quietly working on this…” tweet than working on it

  The expired domain market is not built for affiliate marketing but it should be because the tools offered on DotWeekly, ExpiredDomains and more are very helpful and drive a lot of sales! The following do not offer affiliate programs for expired domain auctions: Dropcatch Snapnames/NameJet NameCheap GoDaddy (with exception but is TERRIBLE & broken) That is the majority, by far. Dynadot Does, Sedo Does The following are the click stats by marketplace on DotWeekly. GoDaddy commission was $32.93, via 1 sale and earning by far the most clicks over the past 30 days. DotWeekly is skewed to show/highlight GoDaddy/Dynadot inventory more because of the affiliate programs, to note. Overall, very little reason to keep DotWeekly up IMO with all the sources currently offered as I get zero benefit. If it switches to only highlight Dynadot inventory, that is why.

  @ItsKamranK You must use Cloudflare's nameservers for any domain registered or transferred through Cloudflare Registrar. No support for IDNs. No thank you, I do not have these restrictions and limitations with @Namecheap and will happily pay the increased fee to have control over my domain.

  @Namecheap Namecheap used to offer easy choices between 3rd party, now it's all convoluted. I have some research to do. Perhaps a service that doesn't outsource their tech support with people that don't know anything, except how to search a database. Adios, farewell.

  Aruna Dahal C B (@TennisBuddYs) reported 23 minutes ago

  What happened to @Namecheap too? Why are they so bad? Did they get hacked? Feels like the more technology tries to do new things to get better & charge more the worse service gets and things break. Add AI & needing App to do everything its hopeless. I miss the good old days🫣😬

  @_swanand vaguely familiar with dns enough to get my work done. Had added Custom vercel DNS on namecheap (now that i open namecheap and see). Did this few months ago so no recollection except i dont remember having issues with it. Have two custom domains added on Vercel.

  @TheRuqayyah Log into your domain provider dashboard eg namecheap, godaddy. Then fix the dns records.

  Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported 30 minutes ago

  3/7 - The bold part was zero-confirmation delivery. A Bitcoin payment isn't settled until miners include it in a block, roughly 10 minutes at best. Most merchants waited for one to six confirmations. Namecheap activated your purchase the moment the transaction hit the network.

  DNAccess (@dnaccess) reported 30 minutes ago

  @DancerA Network Solutions is 40%, GoDaddy 33%, and eNom 7% — so those three alone account for 80%, and Network Solutions plus GoDaddy together are 73%. After that it drops into a long tail: Domain(com)~4%, then Moniker, Namecheap, and 1&1 IONOS at ~2% each, and some single cases at ~1%

  @Namecheap you guys have a really messed up bug. Since the support person doesnt know when its fixed im asking here. When you buy a domain like my—-domain.com (with three „-“ inside) you arent able to manage anything of the domain the page just says „ups“… please fix this 🙏🏽

  Holy ****, Thanks to @Namecheap Grace Period, i saved my Domains running out. I didnt even get a notice in my Inbox, or atleast the Mailbox didnt inform me.

  Namecheap are having legal issues, they can't sell out TLDs again. 😐

  Domayn Kapital (@domaynkapital) reported 37 minutes ago

  @Namecheap every few weeks there's a domain I win with non-working namerservers. 3-4 times in the last months. I contact support and they tell gaslight me telling me it's all fine. Waste 30 minutes until they call a specialist to fix it. Please deal with this.

  @Namecheap @isellgreatideas @Namecheap I received the same phishing email claiming there was a problem with my password. It redirected me to a fake Private Email login page. Many users got this at the same time. Could this indicate a security issue on your side? Please investigate

  @sattyyouneed GoDaddy is ****. Has hidden fees and is the most expensive option out there. Porkbun is cheaper than namecheap, almost equal to cloudfare but with namecheap's ease. Never tried Hostinger.

  @Namecheap apologies for the false statement. I got emails from you with refunds for the domain subscription and jumped to conclusions Turns out... the IP I got from @digitalocean for hosting got re-allocated to a different project. Updating records with NC's Basic DNS to fix

  @Namecheap Turns out, y'all were doing maintenance, with no notice I could find. That should probably be shown on what ever login screen one uses...just a thought. Being 3rd party, IDK how that would work. I'm still talking to them about switching away from Roundcube. They don't know how.

  AI SaaS Launchpad (@AISaaSLaunchpad) reported 51 minutes ago

  @arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC (.de registry) handles transfers differently than gTLDs—it requires real-time authcode validation via a direct registry connection, which Namecheap's backend integration doesn't support for inbound moves. The workaround is transferring to a registry with direct DENIC support (like Porkbun or Hetzner) and pointing DNS to Namecheap.
