  • CryptoCyberia
    Lain on the Blockchain (@CryptoCyberia) reported

    @itsjustcornbro Attempted to continue the business alone despite me having my equity in Delaware, seizing a digital accounts for the company I secured with Yubikeys by fraudulently claiming to be me with NameCheap support, a couple felonies related to unauthorized access. Basically instead of us making millions (we were already partners with the biggest company in that industry and they said they'd acquire us if we hit certain KPIs) he took a knife out, stabbed me in the back, and slit his own throat and died.

    @Onepeg No one should reach out to them, they request your id to verify your the owner to take down content, you should go to their registarar which I beleive is namecheap and file a DMCA with them

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO It's been almost a week now since my business websites are down because my namecheap server is down and support team can't even turn on the server so my team can connect to bring my sites back up. Who will be responsible for my business losses. I hope someone from namecheap will show some courage and at least turn on the server which I am paying for. Also there is no phone number to call and speak to someone so only way to communicate is either email or chat. Such a horrible service they don't care what it means to a business which heavily rely on website and it's been down for this long.

    @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?

    It has never been cheaper to build a startup. Claude for coding — $20/mo Supabase for backend — free Vercel for deploys — free Namecheap for domain — $20/yr Stripe for payments — % only GitHub for version control — free Resend for emails — free Clerk for auth — free Cloudflare for DNS — free PostHog for analytics — free Sentry for error tracking — free Upstash for Redis — free Pinecone for vector DB — free You can literally launch with ~$20/month. The hard part is no longer building. The hard part is getting people to care.

    @GLAsk1d @Namecheap I shut it down for the night after I posted the thread. I'll get it up tomorrow. Ping me if you don't see me posting it before lunch.

    @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.

    @YashHustle_22 I've had great experience with Namecheap after moving from GoDaddy who ripped me off for years no matter how many times I caught them and told them lol. Bluehost isn't bad either, but namecheap made email easy as well if needed. 5min setup for all.

    How 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.

    .@Namecheap stole my funds and refuses to provide a real solution or proper support. Extremely disappointing experience with a company I trusted for years. Criminal organization. Avoid at all costs.

    @sarahskye @RWMaloneMD NameCheap Inc. Is the company name. Look above for domain name. Also its not related to X Corp, making it an issue.

    Anyone notice a bunch of random services getting hacked in the last week? My old Eurail account, my old Stamps.c0m account, our company Namecheap domain account… Not to mention Vercel etc. All in the last 7 days. All after the announcement of Mythos. Something bad is going on.

  • DeepCantCode
    DeepCantCode (@DeepCantCode) reported

    Guys, 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 💀

  • resolvervicky
    Resolver Vicky | Dev 🔧 (@resolvervicky) reported

    Cloudflare Registrar sells domains at cost and they make zero profit on domain registration. It's a loss leader to get you on their platform. That's why the renewal price never spikes. Namecheap's first-year discount is a customer acquisition trick; the real price is the renewal. Agree?
