Buciyo (@TheBuciyo) reported@md_kasif_uddin Namecheap, no contest. Transparent pricing, no renewal tricks, a clean dashboard, and the free WhoisGuard privacy alone is worth it. I've used others and always come back. Avoid GoDaddy — the upsells never end.

puskevit (@0xpusk) reported@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

Ashish Patel (@ashishxcode) reportedIf you start an app now, please don't use: 1. Supabase = you will regret it. → use Convex, Neon, Better-Auth instead 2. Clerk = this is the worst choice ever → use Better-Auth instead 3. Supabase Storage or AWS S3 → use Cloudflare R2, this is the cheapest you can have 4. Namecheap: laggy, buggy, boring → use Porkbun or Cloudflare 5. MongoDB = just don't

mscode07 (@mscode07) reported@omarvvvr I never tried namecheap
-
Ocean (@itmilkyway) reported@Karakehayov @afternic They should commit if they’re truly building the future of tech identity, just as Dynadot has, with Namecheap and Spaceship close behind. I support .si with the same conviction I had when I first supported .ai in 2018.
-
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.

Nick (@maietta) reportedCareful who you host your websites with: Namecheap is hosting the website of a client of mine. My client has been paying yearly for "security services" but under my advisement, I felt they could save their money. Well, the SSL certificate expired and is no longer resolving for the client's website. So, Namecheap will offer hosting services, but will kill off SSL certificates if you don't pay for their "security service". Many web browsers won't even connect to a website with no valid certificate and worse, if HTS is enabled, the browser will never reach the non-ssl version of the site. So, my client's website is unreachable to most traffic right now.

Kappaemme (@Kappaemme1926) reported@pcshipp namecheap Their service is top notch, I had a problem and they solved it right away, they deserve my money @Namecheap

Kalash (@kalashvasaniya) reportedi bought 2 domains from godaddy 4 from spaceship 2 from netim 1 from namecheap but spaceship pricing and service won my heart (no promotion)
-
Sulik (@always_bulish) reported@Namecheap @DoppelHQ @cobie How can you just suspend domain without any warning or asking for explanation? Because you definitely do not have any proof of phishing, that’s for sure. Its an external bloody link tracked with my domain’s short URL. Have you even clicked on a link? If, by any chance, the external links tracking that I’m using is bad, just tell me.

LAZY YUT3 || Defi Scope (@MylesWRLD) reported.@Namecheap I think it's very funny how you guys have scammed me twice with two different accounts, and then making verification so difficult that almost every document I've submitted was not accepted. No problems though. My mistake for ever trying to work with you guys. This is very ****** service and I'll never patronize you any more.

AK - Investment Banker & Funds Advisor (@InvestmentBankg) reported@brokertom Congrats Tom, on this launch ! Asking you for help: I have zero views on my domains listed for sale on @afternic/GoDaddy, but I get views for same domains on Namecheap, Spaceship. What could be the reason & what should I do to get views on @afternic/GoDaddy. Please help 🙏
-
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.
-
Temi (@temi_convert) reportedNamecheap just took my domain down without notifying me. @grok do I need to sue them?
-
m1k_0xFF (@Kimanongoh) reported@Namecheap I've notified the domain owner of that also. Which is embedded on the link. I'll maybe share as well a detailed report on that, after they fix from their end.

Jacob Hartmann (@jacobhartmannx) reported@ethanjaack The few legacy sites in my portfolio are being converted to static builds with serverless backends... The biggest problem I have with Namecheap is moving hundreds of domains out to another provider with a reasonable API & Terraform provider.
