    @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 workβ€”use a credit card or linked bank acct instead. If still stuck, reply with exact error msg.

    @msnmongare @mbiti_mwondi @kichwa_ DNS management. The thing froze all the time when editing the DNS records and at times just failed. Sahii even pointing my other domains to vercel is not working as it does when I use namecheap

    an attacker tried to hijack one of our domains as well, here's what happened > i get an email from the domain registrar's abuse department telling me they've approved my request to change the email on my account to contact@<similar domain> > i don't own this other domain and i've never made such a request > within 30 seconds, i emailed back saying i did not make the request > i email namecheap, the registrar for the other domain and report abuse to block STMP/IMAP > i pull out my laptop in the middle of a shopping mall and literally sit on the floor to log in and add in every form of MFA i could > 10 minutes later, the account is locked > i get an email from the registrar effectively saying "ignore the previous email, we didn't change the email yet. we've locked your account, please give us KYC documents" > i go back and forth and provide all the KYC documents they ask for > i confirm that no changes can be made to the domain while it is locked > i create a ticket from the regitrar's contact form from their official website to verify the email thread is legitimate > the account is locked for a week while they verify my documents > we constantly monitor the domain (dig NS <domain> +short) just in case > i threaten to submit an ICANN complaint and tell my users to use a new domain if they don't unlock my account > account unlocked within minutes > currently moving everything to AWS Route 53 PSA - if you're not on AWS, move everything to AWS. if you log into a website with your wallet, make sure to carefully read the authorizations prompt

    @AlfinCodes I mostly use namecheap as it provides renewal domains at cheaper rates, but go daddy offer 24/7 phone +chat support.

    you’ll regret starting a new app with Supabase, so go with Firebase instead. Firebase Auth is making Clerk look like a bad choice. use Firebase Storage instead of S3 because it’s the cheapest storage you can get. Replace Namecheap for Spaceship. And please, just stop using MongoDB use Firebase Firestore

    @melvynx Never had a single Issue with Namecheap. Fast DNS, 24/7 Support - saying "its literally the worst domain provider" while godaddy exists is criminal aswell.

    @SomanathDi48172 Namecheap. Also never search your domain idea on Godaddy, they'll buy it up and ask you to pay premium

    @Namecheap If there was a way to shut you guys down completely, I would probably loved to do that. Why should you guys allow bots to monitor and steal people's search after they're done searching for the availability of a certain name. That's frustrating.

    From running Meta Ads and TikTok Ads to paying for Netflix, Spotify, Apple Storage, Telegram Premium, ChatGPT, Konami and even tools like Hostinger or Namecheap. Your digital life depends on smooth online payments 😌. With a virtual card designed for online use, you avoid unnecessary international payment issues and keep everything running without interruptions πŸ™Œ.

    @md_kasif_uddin Namecheap, no contest. Transparent pricing, no renewal tricks, a clean dashboard, and the free WhoisGuard privacy alone is worth it. I've used others and always come back. Avoid GoDaddy β€” the upsells never end.

    @CryptoNoApes @NamebaseHQ I think Namebase has been as transparent as they can be. Once funds are returned, NB would likely reopen. At this point, it’s on Namecheap to address the user fund issues
