Csaba Kissi (@csaba_kissi) reportedI switched from Namecheap to Cloudflare for the domain registration. Because of the better price for domain renewals. What service do you use?
-
Rian (@Rian_Visser) reported@YashHustle_22 Namecheap. Been with them for a couple for a couple decades now. Easy to use systems, great customer support, never had a single problem with a domain name registered through them.

Avdhoottt (@avdhootttt) reportedIf 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% + 30Β’/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.

Christina Panina (@ChristinaPanin1) reported@justdevopsguy @Namecheap Hi! Christina, Private Email Product Manager here. Can you provide more details on where you observe the issue? We'll investigate with the team, as this is not how the service is supposed to work.

solopath (@pathlessknown) reportedlikely some rules about extensions vs letter count i've seen namecheap do sketchy stuff too over the years but it likely an issue with the code not the company itself
-
alencristen (@alencristen) reported@p_naix @spaceship maybe different managment team or something but honestly i'd stay away from anything namecheap related. very bad company
-
Mathias Onea (@mathiasonea) reported@13_narcissus tbh they're all over the place currently. Some are at Hostinger, some at namecheap, some at other German legacy service providers... need to consolidate but low prio
-
Mikhail Rogov (@i_mika_el) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap very strange. did Namecheap support confirm there is no manual transfer path either?
-
Rob (@RobGuerra90) reported@omarvvvr Namecheap all the way never had a problem in years and their customer support is on point
-
Shalom Arputha Singh (@ItsShalomTechy) reported@PashaBorsai I recommend you to go with Namecheap bro, It was good. GoDaddy is really bad with UX and also might cost a lot in the future. You can easily tranfer the domain but I think it might cost you some $$
-
Jay (@Cyberlane) reported@diegohaz Already did that a while ago. I really disliked namecheap, their support was poor and the inability to simply change a username was crazy to me. Everything is on Cloudflare now and couldnβt be happier!
-
A Rubab (@a_rubab1) reported@thepoonam0914 Namecheap Cheap + free WHOIS privacy. Never looked back.

Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported5/7 - 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.
