timagixe (@timagixe) reportedi remember the first time I bought domain on NameCheap the first thing I did in 10 minutes - transferred domain to CloudFlare luckily to me it was .com - so no issues with that
-
Captain M (@FrankoRover) reportedSo @Namecheap is no longer giving 3 free mailboxes. Damn, we need an alternative solution. You cannot be purchasing domains for 11 USD and pay 70 dollars for mail boxes, we are not in the 90s

Arsi Hoxha (@ArsiHoxha_) reported@adahstwt Namecheap for years then switched to Cloudflare and never looked back. no markup, no upsells, no drama 🫶

Nick (@maietta) reported@Namecheap I'm working on behalf of your client. You won't be able to help me directly. We're in a hurry right now.

LND (@y1vl3vy) reported@the_smart_ape Tbh I have nothing to do with it. There are no clear alternatives for gmail. Every other email registrar could fall as well so no point into thinking that switching from google is gonna save you for sure. Namecheap can go down, microsoft as well and every other ******* email registrar.

Akinyinka-Emmanuel (@akinyinkemmauel) reportedI didn’t get paid for this. But @Namecheap customer service is one of the best I’ve experienced. Every time I ran into issues, they showed up immediately. That’s what people forget: Your value isn’t what you say. It’s what customers consistently experience.

AtharSense (@AtharSenseCom) reported@YashHustle_22 I used some, but the worst is GoDuddy.. Namecheap also raised the prices so high suddenly. I won't use both in the future. Now I use AWS

m1k_0xFF (@Kimanongoh) reported@Namecheap I've notified the domain owner of that also. Which is embedded on the link. I'll maybe share as well a detailed report on that, after they fix from their end.

DeepCantCode (@DeepCantCode) reportedGuys, I genuinely need help 😭 I need to buy a domain. Is Namecheap really worth it? The renewal prices are kinda high… and Porkbun feels the same. Any better domain registrar with low renewal prices and overall cheaper costs? I'm broke 💀

ChiseledCactus | Analyst (@chiseledcactus) reported@deanelazab @YayJayBae Hello! If it helps, it looks like it's running via cloudflare servers, and registered via "Namecheap". It still lists "Mediadroid LTD UK", with a "Jonathan hassall, but was dissolved a while back, so this is all sorts of shady. I imagine twitch and YouTube wouldn't be too happy with them continuously scraping content and causing issues, yeah? But is that even an option to try and rally to them?

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.

allmylife (@bhabhiezayn) reported@namesilo @Namecheap NameSilo dead rate is 60%+ for fresh domains (0-6mo) — domains are born dead. Namecheap fresh domains are 25% dead (normal setup delay). This means NameSilo domains were never intended to be used.
