  • mstables1991 Michael Stables (@mstables1991) reported

    @genjoeyai I use namecheap but that is because I also run off one of the VPS's so you don't have to wait for domain transfers to use them... Have not had any issue with there servers

  • prtwari praveen tiwari (@prtwari) reported

    @genjoeyai - Name's UI is terrible. Its a pain to manage DNS. - Godaddy's account sharing is a pain. Managing on behalf of someone else sucks here. - Squarespace has no APIs etc. I'd by via namecheap or gandi and manage on cloudflare. Keep my nameservers on cloudflare.

  • josephxhenry Joseph Henry (@josephxhenry) reported

    @genjoeyai namecheap for 99% of my domains bought over 200 domains in the last 3 years and their bulk pricing is unmatched godaddy tries to upsell you on everything, namecheap keeps it simple plus their customer service actually responds when you need help

  • fritzjackhunt jackfritz' (@fritzjackhunt) reported

    @genjoeyai Namecheap, their customer support is the best I’ve ever used 💯

  • cristianuibar Cristian Uibar (@cristianuibar) reported

    @genjoeyai @Cloudflare for domains, yet it doesn't support all TLDs. For these special TLDs I'll go for @Namecheap

  • coolaj86 coolaj86 👨‍💻 (Old Man Yelling at The Cloud™) (@coolaj86) reported

    @Namecheap Not just the auto-renewal flow, but also not getting a notification for the error or email about the expiration. Don't send marketing emails for problems. Subject should be: "Billing error renewing domain" not marketing lingo "It's time to renew", and sent 1m, 1w, 1d, 0d, -1d

  • 1shosial shosial (@1shosial) reported from City of Austin, Texas

    @shirish_arya16 We’ve leaned toward Namecheap lately—clean UI, decent support, no upsell madness. What about you? Anyone using Spaceship?

  • araff_m Malik Araf (@araff_m) reported

    Had a domain on namecheap. Had to redirect it to netlify. Was having issues. Asked chatgpt and it provided sorta wrong answer. But eventually fixed it. Willprovide the update tomorrow.

  • bittsbutcher にくやさん (@bittsbutcher) reported

    @Namecheap has gotta be one of the worst domain providers in existence

  • CSBastiat CS Bastiat ⚖️ (@CSBastiat) reported

    Hosting a website with @Namecheap @EasyWP. Their service went down 2 hrs ago and my website stopped working, unbeknownst to me. Had to wait for a client to tell me. Did they email customers? No. Did they tweet about it? No. Tired of these lazy-*** companies not communicating.

  • heftysammich HeftySammich (Dave) (@heftysammich) reported

    @genjoeyai Never GoDaddy Always namecheap

  • Govind_vash02 Govind Vashishat (@Govind_vash02) reported

    @genjoeyai Godaddy is the worst, namecheap is much better

  • talktoai Shaf Brady (@talktoai) reported

    @Namecheap Provide a code to renew the domain at the same price as cloudflare or cheaper?? can you provide me a code or you want me to move to cf lol like your supposed to try keep me as customer, please try harder?

  • GiftVincy Vincy | FormApe (@GiftVincy) reported

    @nieactually Used Namecheap for years never had a single issue even with bulk transfers

  • nikhilbhima NB (@nikhilbhima) reported

    100% sure namecheap sells customer data. Just bought a domain 2 days ago and been receiving so many sales messages regarding hosting, website development etc.

  • PaulineWeb0 Pauline Web (@PaulineWeb0) reported

    @jpmonette @genjoeyai Namecheap took my client website down twice 🤦

  • isamirDM Ibrahim Samir (@isamirDM) reported

    @shirish_arya16 NEVER NEVER NEVER Namecheap. They always try to scam you, deceive you, increas prices, etc.. the support is good recently, but it wasn't a year ago and before.

  • its_ilya Ilya - イリア (@its_ilya) reported

    @genjoeyai Namecheap is my goto Cloudflare just works Never tried the rest of them tbh

  • marouane_souda Marouane Souda (@marouane_souda) reported

    @shirish_arya16 Namecheap. Been for years. Never disappointed.

  • Cherelynn Cherelynn (@Cherelynn) reported

    @Namecheap Do you have a phone number for tech assistance? I've been through 5 chat bots and have not been able to resolve the issue.

  • coolaj86 coolaj86 👨‍💻 (Old Man Yelling at The Cloud™) (@coolaj86) reported

    @Namecheap 1. If something has "auto-renew" on, but can't be renewed, it should indicate it and where to fix it. 2. Rather than displaying "card: active", "card: default", "auto-renew: enabled", "card: will be used for renewals", it SHOULD NOT say those things if they ARE NOT TRUE!

  • CSBastiat CS Bastiat ⚖️ (@CSBastiat) reported

    @VZaretskaya @Namecheap @EasyWP You didn't email your customers. You didn't post about the outage on your X account. You did zero communication. Now it's been 5 hours and you still haven't offered any details and no ETA. As a customer, I am very very disappointed.

  • TheRealJoseph01 Joseph Williams⚡️ (@TheRealJoseph01) reported

    Namecheap has one of the best customer support services

  • danielmlozano Daniel M. Lozano (@danielmlozano) reported

    @genjoeyai Are people still buying domains from GoDaddy? They have terrible practices (such as buying domains that you searched for and then selling them as premium domains), higher prices, etc. Namecheap is the way to go.

  • dhiraj184 Dhiraj Soni (@dhiraj184) reported

    @genjoeyai namecheap but its ****

  • Aaronontheweb Aaron Stannard (@Aaronontheweb) reported

    @_neonsunset consolidating all of my domain names onto NameCheap is one of those to-do list tasks I've had for years - never important enough to penetrate the top of the list. But now that I'm going to have to fork over $30 each maybe it's time to get moving on it

  • CranQnow CRANQ (@CranQnow) reported

    @sonofalli Oof, as long as they're doing it on NameCheap there isn't an issue imo

  • Ibrahim_Khan099 Ibrahim Khan (@Ibrahim_Khan099) reported

    @genjoeyai Namecheap, their support team in unbelievable.

  • LuckyPhelps Lucky Phelps (@LuckyPhelps) reported

    @genjoeyai GoDaddy is the absolute worst. Namecheap or Vercel

  • CSBastiat CS Bastiat ⚖️ (@CSBastiat) reported

    @Namecheap @arth61585 You guys couldn’t even bother to send an email letting us know our sites have been down for the last hour??
