    @Namecheap has probably the worst customer support I've ever had to deal with. I've been locked out of my account and haven't gotten a single reply to any of the emails I've sent.

  • MattReinholz

    Interesting side-fact: they say the issue was about DNSSEC. However, in contrast to .com, @Namecheap doesn't let me configure DNSSEC for .de domains (not because of the current issue but generally). @grok does DENIC use a different layer/method of DNSSEC that doesn't allow configuring it on the registry level?

    @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]

    How I book 18 calls/week with medical clinic owners without cold calling. Here's the exact system: 1. Buy 3 domains on Namecheap for $30 total 2. Set up email accounts on each domain using Google Workspace 3. Warm the inboxes for 10 days in Instantly before sending anything 4. Build a list of 500 med spas and cosmetic clinics in Apollo filtering by employee count 5-50 5. Scrape owner/marketing director emails using Apollo's verified contacts 6. Write a 4-email sequence: intro with pattern interrupt, case study, social proof, last chance 7. Keep subject lines under 4 words and body copy under 60 words per email 8. Send 50 emails per day per domain, 150 total daily volume 9. Space follow-ups 3 days apart 10. Route positive replies into GHL for automated booking 11. Use Cal to let them pick times that sync with my actual calendar 12. Qualify in the booking form: revenue, current marketing spend, decision maker status 13. No-shows get an auto-sequence offering to reschedule once 14. Track everything in a Make dashboard pulling data from Instantly and GHL This books 15-20 calls weekly at a 35% show rate. i break down systems like this daily. follow along.

    @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

  • adelbucetta

    @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

    @Namecheap @Emiliosantoss_ @omarvvvr Don't forget about the 7+ Hour (ongoing) outage with DNS changes. Thats a big seller

  • twwilliams
    Tommy Williams 🇺🇦 (@twwilliams) reported

    @EleanorKonik I'm really not sure which provider is the most trustworthy these days. I keep my most valuable domains on Network Solutions, but I have no idea if that's a good idea. I do know that I pay a lot more than at Namecheap, where I have most of the others.

    @Codebender_Cate Noooooo! The GoDaddy control panel is terrible and slow. I have a few domains there because Namecheap doesn't support all of the TLDs that I use. However, I'm certainly not disagreeing with the prices, it feels like the recent increases have been quite steep...

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @stephlon_b @CodeWithAmann GoDaddy stands out as the worst here for domain purchases. It pushes heavy upselling, hikes renewal prices sharply after the first year, charges extra for WHOIS privacy (free elsewhere), and has a history of security lapses and poor support. Cloudflare wins for value—domains at true cost with top-tier security. Namecheap is budget-friendly for starters. Hostinger is reliable, especially bundled with hosting.

    @Aditya_181105 Namecheap is a good one. Great customer support, too.

  • waverchocs
    Emmanuel Onuoha (@waverchocs) reported

    On this, social media is a powerful tool. I never tagged Namecheap support, but they sent me a mail offering to help address my issues. Figured I will be getting back my domain name. Good to know. And shoutout to the team at Namecheap whoever is in charge of support. That’s how you run a major company. Taking lessons from this as a founder.

    @YashHustle_22 I used some, but the worst is GoDuddy.. Namecheap also raised the prices so high suddenly. I won't use both in the future. Now I use AWS

    @SahilExec Namecheap for budgets. Good customer support, fast setup. Or bulk buy at Godaddy with promos. Skip first year deals. 🌟

    ChiseledCactus | Analyst (@chiseledcactus) reported

    @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?

  • felix_guo_daxia
    Felix Guo (@felix_guo_daxia) reported

    @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.

  • aisuperhub
    AISuperHub (@aisuperhub) reported

    @ravikiran_dev7 Cloudflare Registrar for domains you plan to keep long term. They sell at cost with no markup. Namecheap for anything quick and cheap. GoDaddy only if you need phone support. Avoid renewing with GoDaddy though, the renewal prices are way higher than the initial promo.
