  @rozzabuilds usually buy from registrar first, then use a registrar-agnostic service like cloudflare for namecheap or google domains. don't need another middleman between me and my registrars

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

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

  @ImLunaHey well namecheap didn't snitch my domain but after i didn't renew it for a single day they immediately put it down and tried to resell it for 4 figures and they'd probably also snitch a domain aswell if they're doing that

  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.

  @itsaaroshi Fr, straight honest answer: Cloudflare for DNS, management, and zero sketchy upsells.Porkbun & Cloudflare all the way.Porkbun for cheap, clean domain pricing + free privacy. Namecheap mid, Dynadot solid but UI clunky.Never touch GoDaddy (scammy upsells, overpriced). No cringe hidden fees, no forced add-ons, just simple domains.

  @adahstwt Cloudflare for price and DNS. Porkbun for the experience. Namecheap for bulk. GoDaddy for — actually, never GoDaddy.

  @captn3m0 I got the same email from namecheap. .in domain never had allowed whois protection AFAIK but for some reason the domain contacts where all weird in namecheap. Had to manually correct it. Didn't know the domain would be suspended so soon. one week is too short a period for warning

  So @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

  @Namecheap I have a problem with you and the technical support is not helping me!! My domain I want to put it up for sale but through auction but the platform doesn't even allow it even they don't provide the simplest info about the platform/partner that can be used as a broker!

  @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.

  @CiCorpAfrica Hey @CiCorpAfrica, got it. Do you prefer Hostinger/Namecheap over GoDaddy because of price or support? Just wondering since I keep using GoDaddy for renewals... hate the interface but it works.

  @Namecheap Two of my domains have been suspended due to a whois issue, and my email hasn't been responded to all day. I've lost access to my business email, and it's quite harrowing. [NC-QTU-9582]

  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

  CF is the best place to buy domains. Comes with ddoss protection + many other cool features. Hodtinger is best if you want good price. GoDaddy is by far the worst place they will try to upsell you useless things. Namecheap has a terrible DX but good prices. Try spaceship too
