    @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!!!

    @prbhtkumr @Namecheap @snigdhasur Went through the Snigdha Sur case, it looks like there is some legality issue with their domain being used in India. Will read more to understand before making any judgement. Ps - I use namecheap for my website domain and it has worked great for me.

    @its_sidraa I have my mail service block all emails from Namecheap domains. They are spam enablers. Any business sketchy enough to use Namecheap I want no part of.

    @justdevopsguy @Namecheap We dug deeper: a network hiccup occurred on ~0.005% of accounts, including yours, causing a longer 20 min delay. You saw a temporary migration lock to maintain account integrity. The lock lifted automatically afterward. Our team is also fixing load spikes that may cause slowness.

  • AISaaSLaunchpad

    @arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC (.de registry) handles transfers differently than gTLDsโ€”it requires real-time authcode validation via a direct registry connection, which Namecheap's backend integration doesn't support for inbound moves. The workaround is transferring to a registry with direct DENIC support (like Porkbun or Hetzner) and pointing DNS to Namecheap.

    @Namecheap Turns out, y'all were doing maintenance, with no notice I could find. That should probably be shown on what ever login screen one uses...just a thought. Being 3rd party, IDK how that would work. I'm still talking to them about switching away from Roundcube. They don't know how.

    This indie dev built a 100% free URL shortener โ€” and it reportedly makes $1,000/month. Bitly and TinyURL now charge $29/month just for custom slugs and basic click tracking. He saw the gap and built shorlnk. Free for everything most people need: custom aliases, click stats, QR codes. Paid only for team features, higher API limits, custom domains. Hereโ€™s the exact model: โ€ข Free: unlimited short links, custom slugs, basic analytics โ€ข Pro ($9/mo): more API calls, advanced stats, priority support โ€ข Team ($29/mo): collaboration, custom domain, dedicated support He open-sourced the revenue number on IndieHackers (his claim, not verified). Tech stack: React + Tailwind, Node.js + Express, PostgreSQL, Vercel + AWS, Namecheap. Built in ~3 weeks. Challenges: โ€” Crowded market: he won users by shouting โ€œ100% freeโ€ on Product Hunt and Hacker News. โ€” Server costs from free users: throttled API to 100 req/min. โ€” Abuse risk: built a review system to block phishing links. Is it for you? If you can code, yes. If not, no. $1,000/month sounds nice, but after server costs itโ€™s more like $700โ€“800. And itโ€™s his reported number โ€” not guaranteed. Bottom line: find a niche where big players are greedy, offer the basics for free, and charge for power features. It works, but itโ€™s a grind โ€” not a get-rich-quick play. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #IndieHackers #SideProject

    @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.

    @cybernaira I had HostGator (the one I mentioned earlier with the Blue and Yellow colors) and Namecheap 9 years ago, and HG's follow up is excellent. They sent me emails to make sure everything was in order and if I needed any help. The dumb thing is, I never did anything with the Website.
