    @vivekteega @prbhtkumr @Namecheap Just so folks know their rights, a domain provider can’t shut down your domain globally without a proper court order, especially if you’re running a legitimate business. That’s why we won our TRO (temporary restraining order) to get it back

    @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.

    @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.

    Be careful with @Namecheap. They have poor customer service and extremely strict refund policies. Even when they make an error, they’ll fight you on giving a refund and try to lowball you with a tiny credit. Just a heads up. #namecheap

    @Namecheap every few weeks there's a domain I win with non-functioning 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 fixt it. Please deal with this.

    The Smart Ape 🔥 (@the_smart_ape) reported

    millions of companies forget to renew their domain names every year. you can just buy the expired domain someone forgot about and get a premium on it. it’s called drop catching. where to find them discovery + filtering: → expireddomains[.]net → domcop → freshdrop → moonsy auctions + catching: → godaddy auctions → namecheap expired auctions → dynadot closeouts → namejet / snapnames → dropcatch (1,200+ registrars, best catch rate on contested names) the process: domain expires → grace period → “pending delete” → drops. once it’s pending delete (usually ~5 days before the drop) you can place a backorder. if more than one person wants it, it goes to auction. most of these never get listed for sale. catch the ones with real value (traffic, backlinks, brandable names).

    - half of Twitter buys their 15th domain (best week for GoDaddy and Namecheap) - „it’s literally a cheat code to get rich” (*Claude take this ideas and build a landing page*) - “this is literally what I’ve been building” (*** repo created 14 minutes ago) - founders suddenly remember they’ve been “obsessed with this problem for years” (yesterday they were building dual-use AI travel agents) - VCs and Angel investor who passed get pinged „look this is what YC looks for and we are building this” (they hop on a call) - founders spending more time crafting the “We’ve been quietly working on this…” tweet than working on it

    @Namecheap for the love of God, please do train your support agents a bit better. It is NOT OK for your agent to tell users to use an IP address, without a valid SSL certificate, to login!!!

    @Namecheap It appears "temporarily" fixed, know this...the biggest reason I will likely be leaving, isn't so much the repeated issues, but the outsourced tech support, of people that know absolutely nothing! It's pathetic, and IDK why my former webmaster chose Namecheap.

    @YouTube @Restreamio @Namecheap One of the other things snaking MCN owners can do is enforced "content standardization" on videos in their network ... even if they HIJACKED the channel into it and even if the video is uploaded to another account. Which they have obviously done on this video

  • bhartzer
    Bill Hartzer (@bhartzer) reported

    @DNaccess analyzed their list of hundreds of stolen domain names (mostly publicly announced stolen domains and many not publicly disclosed). We looked at historical whois data that shows the losing registrar in each of the stolen domain name cases. Here's the breakdown of the percentages (and where you probably should secure your account if you have domains registered there): Network Solutions is 40%, GoDaddy 33%, and eNom 7% — so those three alone account for 80%, and Network Solutions plus GoDaddy together are 73%. After that it drops into a long tail: Domain(.com) ~4%, then Moniker, Namecheap, and 1&1 IONOS at ~2% each, and a scattering of single cases at ~1% We're not necessarily suggesting or recommending that you transfer your domain name to another registrar. Just secure your account. Also note that these are among the largest and oldest registrars, and Network Solutions in particular holds a big share of the premium legacy .com names that thieves target, so this reflects where the valuable domains live as much as where security is weakest. #domains

    Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported

    3/7 - The bold part was zero-confirmation delivery. A Bitcoin payment isn't settled until miners include it in a block, roughly 10 minutes at best. Most merchants waited for one to six confirmations. Namecheap activated your purchase the moment the transaction hit the network.

    I've been a Namecheap customer for at least a decade... They're okay... But their VPS services are terrible. They run them on outdated architecture and the resources are very minimal. Better to go Hostinger for VPS.

    @Namecheap Hello Namecheap Support, I am writing to follow up on my suspended account. I have already submitted the requested information and documentation. Could you please provide an update on the review status? I urgently need my account access restored so I can continue my work and meet an approaching deadline. Thank you for your prompt assistance.

    @kalashvasaniya totally agreed, one crucial advice i can give is to keep domain and hosting service different. Will ideally prefer about it can look namecheap or porkbun for domain and netlify or hostinger for hoosting rest please do your own research
