-
SYL Vexora- Jaron K Bragg (@JaronBragg) reported@its_sidraa Why not skip namecheap and just use cloudflare for both domain and DNS? Cloudflare actually puts my website on the map. Namecheap I never seen it and was hard for others to surface. Other than that it makes sense.
-
Aarรณn (@AaronCornellius) reported@mddanishyusuf @Cloudflare @Namecheap I use namecheap and have had some issues. Probably going to do this too and move to Cloudflare

Brian Lee Mayes โ โ๐ข๐ฒ๐โ ๐ข๐ฝ๐ป๐ฒ๐ท๐ฐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฎ (@BrianLeeMayes) reported@Namecheap Namecheap used to offer easy choices between 3rd party, now it's all convoluted. I have some research to do. Perhaps a service that doesn't outsource their tech support with people that don't know anything, except how to search a database. Adios, farewell.
-
4L.com (@4Ldotcom) reported@Dynadot, please allow users to download filtered domain lists from your marketplace without logging in. Right now, when someone clicks the "Download" button, the file is not downloaded. Instead, the user is sent to another page and asked to enter a login and password. All domains are already visible to users who are not logged in. They can also collect the data directly from the page by showing 1,000 results per page. However, it would be much easier if users could download a list based on their selected filters. This would also reduce unnecessary load on your website. Another option is to provide a public link with all marketplace domains in CSV format, similar to Namecheap. The file could be updated every 30-60 minutes.

S.Soti (@sahaj_soti) reported@xxxxwxxxxxxwxxx @Namecheap Ikr, the only time I had to use their web this month, its down

Link Robins (@linkrobinsllc) reportedI'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 They run them on outdated architecture and the resources are very minimal.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.
-
Kekko DโAmato (@kekkodamato_) reported@TTrimoreau Cloudflare Registrar if your TLD is supported โ at-cost pricing (literally no markup), best DNS control, DNSSEC built in, zero upsells. Namecheap otherwise. Free WhoisGuard, clean UI, rarely issues. GoDaddy is a trap โ they charge 3x and count on you not noticing at renewal.

Subham (@iamsubham067) reported- Claude = coding. ($20/mo) - Supabase = backend. (Free) - Vercel = deploying. (Free) - Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) - Stripe = payments. (2.9%/transaction) - GitHub = version control. (Free) - Resend = emails. (Free) There has never been a cheaper time to build.

Brian Lee Mayes โ โ๐ข๐ฒ๐โ ๐ข๐ฝ๐ป๐ฒ๐ท๐ฐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฎ (@BrianLeeMayes) reported@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.

eepy ๐พ (@theepiest) reported@Porkbun @that2art @Lunascaped no shade at you guys i've even used y'all before<3 i had great service too! but in this specific case i know what im talking. spaceship/namecheap will provide their 'Withheld for Privacy ehf' (i had a domain it expired) and for that same extension you guys say no whois privacy

Rajeev Singh Naruka (@toughyear) reportednever search domains on godaddy. they very obviously resell this info. better use cloudflare or namecheap or porkbun.

AgentNirmites (@agentNirmites) reportedI received my first cold email. This guy has a marketing technique, let me show you. It depends on your customer base (your market), but here is an overall idea. So, this guy provides social media marketing, website building, app building services. And he found me via ... My domain name! My domain has nothing hosted on it, but still... So, this guy seems to be scraping a whole bunch of social media accounts, reddit profiles, and subreddits too. So, he has 1000s (or even 10k s) of domain names listed. Now comes the magic part. He found contact details of all those domain names' owners. How? Every Domain Provider company like NameCheap @Namecheap (my favorite), (Square Space) @squarespace , Go Daddy (@GoDaddy ), and so on. All of they are, by law (by ICANN), required to allow people to contact domain owners via a web form. So, this guy has to just fill a web form to get to any domain owner. And for any reason, if you have a domain, you are doing something with it, if not, then you had an intention to do something... So, he fills all those web forms to get to the owners, (probably written by AI, or manually). In other words, he is kinda sending a cold email to all the potential customers. Good Trick, isn't it? You just need to find where your potential customers hangout, and somehow get their contact details. A lot of places require contact information, and they show it publicly, like Domain Name providers. Just fill a web form, run ollama qwen models to write the email too. For free. (BTW Qwen models are my favorite!) If you're a freelancer, doing marketing or web building, what are you waiting for? If you're a software engineer, go get your clients...

Vivek Teegalapally (@vivekteega) reported@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.

Diluc (@hsaffiliate2025) reportedThis 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. Hereโs the exact model: โข Free: unlimited short links, custom slugs, basic analytics โข Pro ($9/mo): more API calls, advanced stats, priority support โข 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 โ100% 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 itโs more like $700โ800. And itโs 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 itโs a grind โ not a get-rich-quick play. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #IndieHackers #SideProject

TheRealPomax (@TheRealPomax) reported@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.

Domayn Kapital (@domaynkapital) reported@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.

prabhat (@prbhtkumr) reported@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.
