  @Namecheap I just wanted to let you guys know that I’ve contacted my local law-enforcement to stop some websites that you’re hosting from scamming any further. I’ve asked repeatedly fake the domain down and you refuse now I’m pursuing legal action.😡😡😡😡

  @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.

  @matthansbello Sigh, everything was originally done on namecheap but I’ve now just moved the dns to cloudflare. Waiting to see if that fixes the issue

  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).

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

  My current indie hacker stack in 2026: - Claude for Coding - Stripe for Payments - GitHub for Version Control - Vercel for Deployment - Supabase for Backend - Clerk for Auth - Upstash for Redis - Pinecone for Vector DB - Resend for Emails - Namecheap for Domain - Cloudflare for DNS - PostHog for Analytics - Sentry for Error Tracking You can build and ship a complete startup from your bedroom in 2026. The barrier has never been lower 💪

  @Namecheap that security ticket is with bluehost, not you (thankfully). But 3.5hrs on chat to ID an IP is way too much. and that came after they reviewed the info I provided?? 🤯 I could easily rate this as the worse experience I had with your service!

  @Hexangelo5 You are right about that! Pulsechain,com is registered through there, as are lots of other pulsechain project websites. While Namecheap built its brand on privacy advocacy (e.g., fighting for customer data protection in courts), control now sits largely with a Luxembourg-based PE giant whose incentives are financial returns, not ideological privacy maximalism. The registrant data required by ICANN lives in a system where EU corporate oversight meets US legal demands. In an era of rising data breaches, surveillance, and regulatory flux, relying on any large registrar under PE ownership means trusting opaque boardroom decisions with your identity footprint. Diversifying to independent or privacy-first alternatives reduces single points of failure.

  @p_naix @spaceship maybe different managment team or something but honestly i'd stay away from anything namecheap related. very bad company

  @Namecheap upon checking my hosting list there was nothing, talking to support they say that i have been refunded stellar, but there is no confirmation email of that. hmm, on the domain they said it was put on auction and i cant access it or recover it

  TomorrowsBrands (@SeeBrands) reported 35 minutes ago

  @katerleonid godaddy have a few of my .cns but namecheap i have most on. i like namecheaps backend, and how easy it is to change dns etc.... and on having reseller hosting from them, everything is streamlined. Namecheap also has very good support. not sales people like i found on godaddy.

  @Namecheap Almost a day 'fighting' with your tech team about port 80 blocked (VPS). Proof: fresh installs, external tests, logs — packets time out externally on :80 while :8080 works! Your team just points back at me. Can someone from your network/infra team really look at this?

  @katerleonid No, I use Namecheap, Porkbun, Unstoppable, Regery, Netim, 101Domains based on the support for tld I want to register.

  I later found out, you can no longer even register this TLD on the Namecheap website because they have sunsetted them according to customer "support" 3/

  @Nueltek a few minor inaccuracies here. > low-traffic websites the hypernova VPS subscription on Namecheap accomodates up to 10TB in bandwidth. that's more than enough for most traffic loads. > if the VPS goes down it's still more reliable than shared hosting > if one website gets compromised, the entire server could be at risk true. only if the exploit gets a hold of 'root' > 1 site experiences a major traffic spike cloudflare to the rescue > single point of failure? cloudflare to the rescue hehe.

  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

  @namecheapceo123 I used Namebase (owned by @Namecheap) to manage my funds. Three months ago, you sold the platform without notifying your clients. Since Namecheap sold the platform, I have lost access to my funds, and this issue has now been ongoing for more than three months.
