    @justbyte_ Namecheap for the cheap first year, then transfer to Cloudflare. Cloudflare is at-cost with no markup, so renewals never jump, about $10.44 for a .com forever instead of ballooning year two. Only catch is you have to use their nameservers.

    AI SaaS Launchpad (@AISaaSLaunchpad) reported

    @arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC (.de registry) handles transfers differently than gTLDsโ€”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.

    Unverified conspiracy theory: GoDaddy holds all these inactive domains through a shell company so they can charge finders fees and commission to โ€œfindโ€ the owner of the domain, themselves Namecheap would never stoop to such loser levels

    I am the owner of Azure subscription and tenant. After moving my verified domain from GoDaddy to NameCheap, I am now completely locked out of this subscription and tenant. I cannot log in or access any resources. I no longer need this subscription or any of its resources (already replaced) . I would like to permanently cancel and delete the entire subscription (including all associated resources, databases, Key Vaults, etc.) to close this account cleanly. @AzureSupport

    @arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC runs .de transfers through a KK code and the registrar has to be a member or work via a partner. a lot of resellers only built the registration side and never the transfer one.

    If you want to build a startup that actually has users: Claude = coding. (more like $100+) Supabase = backend. ($25-599/mo once you cross free tier) Vercel = deploying. ($20-150+/mo once you get real traffic) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr, ok this one's real) Stripe = payments. (2.9% + 30ยข/transaction) GitHub = version control. (free) Resend = emails. (free until 3k emails, then $20/mo+) Clerk = auth. (free until 10k MAU, then $25/mo+) Cloudflare = DNS. (free, genuinely) PostHog = analytics. (free until you cross the free tier) Sentry = error tracking. (free until errors pile up) Upstash = Redis. (free until real traffic) Pinecone = vector DB. ($70/mo minimum) Total monthly cost to run a startup with actual users: $300-1000+ "$21/mo" is the cost to run a demo nobody uses.

    millions of companies forget to renew their domain names every year. you can just buy the expired domain someone forgot about and get a premium on it. itโ€™s called drop catching. where to find them discovery + filtering: โ†’ expireddomains[.]net โ†’ domcop โ†’ freshdrop โ†’ moonsy auctions + catching: โ†’ godaddy auctions โ†’ namecheap expired auctions โ†’ dynadot closeouts โ†’ namejet / snapnames โ†’ dropcatch (1,200+ registrars, best catch rate on contested names) the process: domain expires โ†’ grace period โ†’ โ€œpending deleteโ€ โ†’ drops. once itโ€™s pending delete (usually ~5 days before the drop) you can place a backorder. if more than one person wants it, it goes to auction. most of these never get listed for sale. catch the ones with real value (traffic, backlinks, brandable names).

    Akinsete Motunrayo (@Harkinsete) reported

    I built my entire personal brand with AI and a clear process. Here is exactly what I built and how I did it, because you can do this too. What I Built โœ… Brand Strategy (mission, vision, values) โœ… Visual identity: colors, fonts, logo, brand guidelines โœ… A full pitch deck (12 slides) โœ… A speaker kit PDF โœ… A complete multi-page personal brand website โœ… A free lead magnet (a guide people can actually use) How I Built the Website Step 1: I planned before I touched anything I wrote down my brand colors, my fonts, my page structure, and what I wanted each page to do. Most people skip this. Everything breaks when you skip this. Step 2: I gave Claude one detailed prompt with my brand colors, fonts, pages, and copy. It returned a complete, mobile-responsive, multi-page website as a single HTML file. One file. Ready to deploy. The prompt I used: - "Build me a complete personal brand website as a single HTML file. Pages: Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Contact. Primary color [your hex], accent color [your hex], background [your hex]. Display font [font name], body font [font name]. Home page needs: dark hero with my name, photo on the right, tagline, and a CTA button. Services section. Impact numbers. Mobile responsive. No frameworks." Copy this, edit your details, and fine-tune as you want. Step 3: I pushed to GitHub: Free. This took me less than five minutes. Now every update I make is version-controlled and safe. Step 4: I deployed to Vercel for free. Connected my GitHub repo to Vercel and the site was live in under few minutes. This requires no hosting fees and nothing to manage. Step 5: I bought my domain on Namecheap - Searched for my full name and found the .com. Bought it for less than $12 for the year. Added it to Vercel. Updated the DNS settings on Namecheap. Waited 20 minutes. My website was live at my own domain. - Total cost: less than $12. - Total time to go live: under 2 hours. I am also working on a mobile app. A Progressive Web App, which means anyone can visit the URL on their phone and add it to their home screen like a real app. I may be running a live training in July where I will walk you through this entire process step by step to build your live website with a custom domain. If you have a phone and a laptop, you can do this. I documented everything the steps, the exact AI prompts, the domain checklist, the deploy instructions in a free PDF guide. Comment BRAND IDENTITY below and I will send it straight to your inbox. ๐Ÿ’พSAVE THIS POST. You will want to come back to it. ๐Ÿ” SHARE IT with someone who keeps saying they need a website. The only thing standing between you and a professional online presence is the decision to start. Love and Light, Motunrayo ๐Ÿค
