    You can’t believe this: you spent more on coffee this month than on a startup’s infrastructure. If you’re still waiting for the “right moment” to build, this is it. The cost of entry has never been lower. - Claude = coding ($20/mo) - Supabase = backend (free) - Vercel = deploying (free) - Namecheap = domain ($12/yr) - Stripe = payments (2.9%/transaction) - GitHub = version control (free) - Resend = emails (free) - Clerk = auth (free) - Cloudflare = DNS (free) - PostHog = analytics (free) - Sentry = error tracking (free) - Upstash = Redis (free) - Pinecone = vector DB (free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$21 There has never been a cheaper time to build.

    @Namecheap Hello Namecheap Support, I am writing to follow up on my suspended account regarding ticket [NC-MRN-7300]. I have already submitted the requested information and documentation. Could you please provide an update on the review status? I urgently need my account access restored so I can continue my work and meet an approaching deadline. Thank you for your prompt assistance.

    @cybernaira I had HostGator (the one I mentioned earlier with the Blue and Yellow colors) and Namecheap 9 years ago, and HG's follow up is excellent. They sent me emails to make sure everything was in order and if I needed any help. The dumb thing is, I never did anything with the Website.

    @Porkbun I don't like you compared to namecheap because you don't really fight against scams and phishing websites. I reported some domains before and you never took down any of them.. namecheap did it in a matter of minutes - I don't know what was the issue on your side, but I moved on.

    Hey @Wix , transferred my domain from @namecheap. The domain already shows the default Wix page, but my Wix dashboard is still stuck on “Transfer in Progress.” I’ve emailed support but haven’t received a response. Please help.

    @katerleonid godaddy have a few of my .cns but namecheap i have most on. i like namecheaps backend, and how easy it is to change dns etc.... and on having reseller hosting from them, everything is streamlined. Namecheap also has very good support. not sales people like i found on godaddy.

    @scheemunai @spaceship @Dynadot Pricing is the biggest factor (spaceship is owned by namecheap - but pricing is much better), better UX and both of these support MCP and API access so they are agent friendly :)

    Btw guys, let me share something about Minecraft. If you didn't grow up playing Minecraft on eg McPvP, factions and these other hardcore servers, you will never be successful. Holy ****, do I have connections from those times. On top of that, I just checked, I've had my namecheap and godaddy accounts since 2013, at which point I was 10. The amount of knowledge and experience I have at my age now is unheard of unless you also grew up playing on those servers. Take Malone Lam for example. It also makes me immune to empty threats, mf I was 10 with a ddos software on my iMac, don't think you can intimidate me. Magnum PI couldn't dig up more dirt on somebody than I can. TLDR: Minecraft makes Millionaires

    @neerajjj6785 Really depends on what you're using it for and where your stuff will be hosted. If you're using a platform like AWS then buying it through them can save you some headaches down the line. Otherwise I've always used Namecheap but heard good things about Cloudflare.

    This indie dev built a 100% free URL shortener — and it reportedly makes $1,000/month. Bitly and TinyURL now charge $29/month just for custom slugs and basic click tracking. He saw the gap and built shorlnk. Free for everything most people need: custom aliases, click stats, QR codes. Paid only for team features, higher API limits, custom domains. Here’s the exact model: • Free: unlimited short links, custom slugs, basic analytics • Pro ($9/mo): more API calls, advanced stats, priority support • Team ($29/mo): collaboration, custom domain, dedicated support He open-sourced the revenue number on IndieHackers (his claim, not verified). Tech stack: React + Tailwind, Node.js + Express, PostgreSQL, Vercel + AWS, Namecheap. Built in ~3 weeks. Challenges: — Crowded market: he won users by shouting “100% free” on Product Hunt and Hacker News. — Server costs from free users: throttled API to 100 req/min. — Abuse risk: built a review system to block phishing links. Is it for you? If you can code, yes. If not, no. $1,000/month sounds nice, but after server costs it’s more like $700–800. And it’s his reported number — not guaranteed. Bottom line: find a niche where big players are greedy, offer the basics for free, and charge for power features. It works, but it’s a grind — not a get-rich-quick play. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #IndieHackers #SideProject
