    @Namecheap every other week there's a domain I win domains with non-functioning namerservers. 3-4 times in last months. I contact support and they tell gaslight me telling me it's all fine. Waste 30 minutes until they call a specialist to fixt it. Please deal with this.

    @omarvvvr I trust namecheap the most, been using it for a while and never had any problems

    @Namecheap The part where I type a postal code, and just because there's a space (which your JS should be able to verify is irrelevant) the form goes "FIX THIS VALUE IT IS WRONG" when in fact no, it is not: validate _after_ removing semantically irrelevant characters.

    @ItsKamranK You must use Cloudflare's nameservers for any domain registered or transferred through Cloudflare Registrar. No support for IDNs. No thank you, I do not have these restrictions and limitations with @Namecheap and will happily pay the increased fee to have control over my domain.

    @cammygoltd @Namecheap If you have already submitted a ticket to our Abuse Team, please patiently wait for their review and response as our Support Team cannot assist with this type of request. We apologize we could not be of further assistance in this matter. Kind Regards,

    @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 :)

  • daily_btc_lore
    Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported

    5/7 - Bitcoin users already trusted Namecheap. In December 2011 it turned GoDaddy's SOPA support into "Move Your Domain Day," welcoming thousands of transferred domains and donating over $100,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Its base was the crowd asking for Bitcoin.

    @Namecheap every few weeks there's a domain I win with non-working namerservers. 3-4 times in the last months. I contact support and they tell gaslight me telling me it's all fine. Waste 30 minutes until they call a specialist to fix it. Please deal with this.

    @neerajjj6785 I’ve stuck with Namecheap for years, cheap, easy UI and solid support.

    Avdhoottt (@avdhootttt) reported

    If you want to build a startup that actually has users: Claude = coding. (more like $100+) Supabase = backend. ($25-599/mo once you cross free tier) Vercel = deploying. ($20-150+/mo once you get real traffic) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr, ok this one's real) Stripe = payments. (2.9% + 30¢/transaction) GitHub = version control. (free) Resend = emails. (free until 3k emails, then $20/mo+) Clerk = auth. (free until 10k MAU, then $25/mo+) Cloudflare = DNS. (free, genuinely) PostHog = analytics. (free until you cross the free tier) Sentry = error tracking. (free until errors pile up) Upstash = Redis. (free until real traffic) Pinecone = vector DB. ($70/mo minimum) Total monthly cost to run a startup with actual users: $300-1000+ "$21/mo" is the cost to run a demo nobody uses.

    @vivekteega @Namecheap @snigdhasur hey i'm glad that it has worked for you, i doubt most people using such a well known service for standard domain holding would have much issues. but namecheap has made a life long hater out of me and i would do my best to divert any and all business to better alternatives.

    @mddanishyusuf @Cloudflare @Namecheap split between cf and porkbun. dont put all your domains in one basket, especially the one you use to log in to the domain service.

  • LucaCaponeX
    Luca Capone | Vibe Coder (@LucaCaponeX) reported

    @buildwithmaya @Namecheap Namecheap funded a whole graveyard of my half-built ideas. Buying the domain takes 5 minutes. Shipping the actual thing is where I disappear for 3 months. The domain was never the hard part.

    Any recommendations for web hosting. I currently use a shared hosting plan with @Namecheap No major complaints, but I get occasional issues with my websites being flagged as spam by my ISP.

  • itisyev
    yev (@itisyev) reported

    @Namecheap apologies for the false statement. I got emails from you with refunds for the domain subscription and jumped to conclusions Turns out... the IP I got from @digitalocean for hosting got re-allocated to a different project. Updating records with NC's Basic DNS to fix
