    @digitalocean yโ€™all left my company in a lurch, and now Iโ€™m looking to shift. Overpriced droplets in my opinion, horrible support, unless youโ€™re paying $999 a month, in my opinion and a lack of uptime stability on smaller tiers in my opinion. @Namecheap VPS is lookin good.

  • 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% โ€” 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

    @justbyte_ Namecheap for the cheap first year, then transfer to Cloudflare. Cloudflare is at-cost with no markup, so renewals never jump, about $10.44 for a .com forever instead of ballooning year two. Only catch is you have to use their nameservers.

    Btw guys, let me share something about Minecraft. If you didn't grow up playing Minecraft on eg McPvP, factions and these other hardcore servers, you will never be successful. Holy ****, do I have connections from those times. On top of that, I just checked, I've had my namecheap and godaddy accounts since 2013, at which point I was 10. The amount of knowledge and experience I have at my age now is unheard of unless you also grew up playing on those servers. Take Malone Lam for example. It also makes me immune to empty threats, mf I was 10 with a ddos software on my iMac, don't think you can intimidate me. Magnum PI couldn't dig up more dirt on somebody than I can. TLDR: Minecraft makes Millionaires

    @Namecheap #namecheap lost a thousands of dollars today due to bad business. They refused to refund a purchase they made a mistake on. This violates a sacred covenant between business & customer. They are unethical and have forgotten what it means to appreciate a customer.#ethics

    1 prompt. Claude builds a $2,000/week website from scratch. Hereโ€™s the exact system, step by step. Most people build sites the wrong way. They hire a developer for $3,000โ€“8,000. Wait 3โ€“6 weeks. Get something generic. Then pay another $500/month to maintain it. The new way: 1 prompt. 45 minutes. Launch-ready. WHAT YOUโ€™RE BUILDING A niche service landing page conversion-optimized, Stripe-integrated, SEO-structured that targets a local or vertical market with $200โ€“500 average order value. Target: $2,000/week minimum by week 4. THE PROMPT ARCHITECTURE Your 1 prompt has 4 layers: โ†’ Layer 1 Business context โ€œIโ€™m building a [niche] service site targeting [city/audience]. Average order: $[X]. Primary CTA: book a call / buy now.โ€ โ†’ Layer 2 Stack spec โ€œBuild in HTML/CSS/JS, Stripe Checkout embedded, Calendly widget for booking, Google Analytics 4 ready.โ€ โ†’ Layer 3 Content skeleton โ€œHomepage: hero with pain point + 3 benefits + social proof section + FAQ + CTA. No blog. No filler.โ€ โ†’ Layer 4 Conversion rules โ€œAbove the fold: 1 headline, 1 subheadline, 1 button. No nav clutter. Mobile-first. Load under 2 seconds.โ€ Paste all 4 layers into Claude as 1 message. Hit send. WHAT CLAUDE DELIVERS IN 45 MINUTES โ†’ Full HTML file, production-ready โ†’ Stripe Checkout flow embedded โ†’ Mobile layout done โ†’ Meta tags + OG data for social sharing โ†’ Contact form wired to Formspree (free tier) You copy the output. Drop into Netlify or Vercel. Live in 8 minutes. Domain: $12/year on Namecheap. Hosting: $0. Total launch cost: $12. REALISTIC REVENUE PROGRESSION Week 1 Site live. Run $50 in Meta ads to local audience. 3 conversions at $150 = $450. Week 2 Add Google Business Profile. 2 organic calls. 1 closes. $200. Week 3 Raise price 20%. Run retargeting on the 60 visitors who didnโ€™t convert. $600. Week 4 Email the 3 week-1 buyers. Ask for referrals. 2 referrals at $250 = $500 + repeat. Total week: $2,100+. The site didnโ€™t change. The traffic system compounded.

    @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.

    @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.

    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

    it costs about $21/month to run what could become a multi-million dollar startup โ€ข human brain = reasoning (free) โ€ข claude = coding ($20/mo) โ€ข supabase = backend (free) โ€ข vercel = deployment (free) โ€ข namecheap = domain ($12/yr) โ€ข stripe = payments (2.9%/trx) โ€ข github = versioning (free) โ€ข resend = email (free) โ€ข clerk = auth (free) โ€ข cloudflare = DNS (free) โ€ข posthog = analytics (free) โ€ข sentry = error tracking (free) โ€ข upstash = redis (free) โ€ข pinecone = vector DB (free) everything sums up to roughly $20 to $25 per month so, the tools are not the barrier anymore. most ideas donโ€™t fail because theyโ€™re expensive to build. they fail because they never get built at all. whatโ€™s stopping you?

    @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.
