Grok (@grok) reported@noob_contrarian Hey, for your SBI virtual Visa card: It works on GPay/Stripe but fails on PayPal/Namecheap likely due to SBI's restrictions on debit/virtual cards for those platforms (common RBI/PayPal mismatch on OTP/3D Secure). Quick fixes: - Double-check intl transactions enabled in YONO app. - Contact SBI support (1800-11-2211 or YONO chat) to whitelist PayPal/Namecheap. - For Namecheap: Try adding card again in incognito, or preload account balance via UPI/Stripe. - PayPal: Most SBI debits don't workβuse a credit card or linked bank acct instead. If still stuck, reply with exact error msg.

Alex (@alexprintss) reportedHow I book 18 calls/week with medical clinic owners without cold calling. Here's the exact system: 1. Buy 3 domains on Namecheap for $30 total 2. Set up email accounts on each domain using Google Workspace 3. Warm the inboxes for 10 days in Instantly before sending anything 4. Build a list of 500 med spas and cosmetic clinics in Apollo filtering by employee count 5-50 5. Scrape owner/marketing director emails using Apollo's verified contacts 6. Write a 4-email sequence: intro with pattern interrupt, case study, social proof, last chance 7. Keep subject lines under 4 words and body copy under 60 words per email 8. Send 50 emails per day per domain, 150 total daily volume 9. Space follow-ups 3 days apart 10. Route positive replies into GHL for automated booking 11. Use Cal to let them pick times that sync with my actual calendar 12. Qualify in the booking form: revenue, current marketing spend, decision maker status 13. No-shows get an auto-sequence offering to reschedule once 14. Track everything in a Make dashboard pulling data from Instantly and GHL This books 15-20 calls weekly at a 35% show rate. i break down systems like this daily. follow along.

Sport Fanatic (@SportFanatic365) reported@mittxldesigns I donβt think their domain is with Amazon. My friend who works in Zepto told they had brought the domain from Namecheap. For some reason they took down that domain. So they brought some other domain and has hosted

Ocean (@itmilkyway) reported@Karakehayov @afternic They should commit if theyβre truly building the future of tech identity, just as Dynadot has, with Namecheap and Spaceship close behind. I support .si with the same conviction I had when I first supported .ai in 2018.

Web3_WizZ (@Web3_WizZ) reportedLet me tell you something about ownership that the traditional internet never gave you. Every domain name you've ever registered β your website, your blog, your brand's online home you don't actually own it. You're renting it. You pay GoDaddy, Namecheap and Google Domains. Every single year. Miss a payment? Forget to renew? Your domain expires. Someone else swoops in and registers it before you notice your website goes dark, your email stops working and your brand disappears overnight. This is the reality of "owning" a domain name on the traditional internet. You're not an owner. You're a tenant. And the landlord always wins. SNS (@sns) said no to all of that. Here's the SNS model in full: You register yourname.sol. You pay once. And that's it. No renewal invoice in your email every December. No annual fee quietly draining your card. No expiry date looming over your digital identity. No company that can decide to raise prices, go bankrupt, or shut down your domain. You own it. Permanently. On-chain. Forever. And when we say "own" we mean it in the truest, most absolute sense of the word. Your .sol domain is stored as a permanent record on the @solana blockchain. Not on a company's server. Not in a database some executive can wipe. On a decentralized, globally distributed, and unstoppable network.

Alex (@alexprintss) reportedHow I book 14 qualified calls per week with fitness studio owners using a two-step outreach system. Here's the exact system: 1. Register 2 new domains on Namecheap and let them sit for 5 days before setup 2. Add email hosting through Google Workspace at $6 per mailbox per month 3. Warm each inbox in Instantly for 14 days sending internal emails to each other 4. Build a list of 800 boutique fitness studios in Apollo filtering by 3-25 employees 5. Export owner and GM contact info using Apollo's direct dial and email finder 6. Write a 3-email sequence: curiosity hook, specific case study, calendar link 7. First email is 40 words max asking one question about their biggest lead gen challenge 8. Second email drops a result: helped a similar studio add 40 members in 60 days 9. Third email is the ask: 15-minute call to see if we can replicate it 10. Send 60 emails daily per domain so 120 total volume per day 11. Space emails 4 days apart to avoid feeling spammy 12. Positive replies get tagged in Instantly and routed to GHL via webhook 13. GHL sends a booking link tied to Cal synced with my real availability 14. Booking form asks revenue, current marketing channels, and decision authority 15. No-shows trigger one automated reschedule offer then they're moved to nurture 16. Make pulls weekly stats from Instantly into a dashboard showing reply rates by domain This consistently books 12-16 calls weekly with a 40% show rate. i break down systems like this daily. follow along.

Simi (@coder_simran) reported@Namecheap you should support UPI payment , you are losing so many customers

Babayola (@PeterJev) reported@asquarebubble I don dey move my clients to Namecheap. If client no get namecheap budget, we use Globalhosting247. The customer support isn't the best, but you will hardly need to call them

RURUSHU (@rnrnshn) reported@melvynx Namecheap ain't buggy. You might find it boring but buggy? No. And it has the fastest support channel among hosting provider

pixi (@hi_pixi) reportedMine works very well...I use it to pay for backblaze cloud, cloudflare r2, workers, domains subscriptions, namecheap domains and OVH cloud and no issues for a year now. Before I tried the Airtel one but it couldn't pay for backblaze service so I switched to MTN and it's fine

Billy (@LeveragedHonky) reported@carlw_dev @Namecheap No issues with them here. Ive even had domains expire with them and was able to get it back with zero issues or markup. π€·π»

Sebastian Hulme (@sebbhulme) reportedYou need more domains than you think and you need to buy them smarter than you probably are. Grab them from Porkbun or Namecheap. Spaceship is my favourite. Never from your email provider directly because the markup is criminal. Buy variations of your main domain with prefixes and suffixes. If your company is called Acme then you want getacme, acmehq, tryacme, acmegroup Dot com is ideal but dot co and dot info work fine too. Figure out how many emails you want to send per day Divide by 30 for Google inboxes Then divide by three And that tells you how many domains you need. Sending 3,000 a day means you need 100 inboxes across maybe 30 to 35 domains and that sounds like a lot until you realise domains cost about 10 quid each for a year. People try to run big volume off 3 domains and then wonder why their sender reputation is in the bin by week two.

Tommy Williams πΊπ¦ (@twwilliams) reported@EleanorKonik I'm really not sure which provider is the most trustworthy these days. I keep my most valuable domains on Network Solutions, but I have no idea if that's a good idea. I do know that I pay a lot more than at Namecheap, where I have most of the others.

Akinyinka-Emmanuel (@akinyinkemmauel) reportedI didnβt get paid for this. But @Namecheap customer service is one of the best Iβve experienced. Every time I ran into issues, they showed up immediately. Thatβs what people forget: Your value isnβt what you say. Itβs what customers consistently experience.
