-
Chris Winfield - Understanding A.I. (@chriswinfield) reported@Namecheap I have been a very loyal customer for 15+ years and all of a sudden you decide to not let me register domains and put BANNED on everything. You just lost me
-
yev (@itisyev) reported@Namecheap @digitalocean To be clear, I released the IP address as part of winding things down. I just finally noticed it got recycled
-

Joseph Miclaus (@josephmiclaus) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap Didn't know this. Maybe they can do it manually through support?
-
Rian (@Rian_Visser) reported@YashHustle_22 Namecheap. Been with them for a couple for a couple decades now. Easy to use systems, great customer support, never had a single problem with a domain name registered through them.
-
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.
-
CAPED CRUSADER🦇 (@stilleclectic) reported@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

Diluc (@hsaffiliate2025) reportedThis indie dev built a 100% free URL shortener — 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. Here’s the exact model: • Free: unlimited short links, custom slugs, basic analytics • Pro ($9/mo): more API calls, advanced stats, priority support • 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: — Crowded market: he won users by shouting “100% free” on Product Hunt and Hacker News. — Server costs from free users: throttled API to 100 req/min. — 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 it’s more like $700–800. And it’s his reported number — 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 it’s a grind — not a get-rich-quick play. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #IndieHackers #SideProject

Did this few months ago so no recollection except i dont remember having issues with it. Have two custom domains added on Vercel.
-
Adam Holter (@AdamHoltererer) reported@gauravsapkotanp Definitely not Namecheap, because @theo said they were bad and scammy.
-
Domayn Kapital (@domaynkapital) reported@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.
-
Umar Saeed (@UmarSaeedX) reported@neurocoode @anupamrjp I prefer Namecheap for better pricing and support.
-
Legacy (@legacyunchain) reported@yfly58 Nice one. Boss I need help, I'm trying to set up a business mail. I bought a domain on namecheap, connected it to the Google workshop. I have been trying to activate the Gmail but the MX record I created on namecheap is not working and the activation is failing.

Fernando (@unfernaonx) reported@larsbuilds What’s that service? Looks good. I use namecheap and sometimes it feels like 2014 cPanel

x (@xxxxwxxxxxxwxxx) reported@Namecheap Ummm, your website is down. Going to update us on that??

مركز مهارات الإبداع للتدريب (@cstcksa) reported@Namecheap Unfortunately, we have had an extremely poor experience with the current hosting provider. Despite multiple attempts to communicate through email and official support channels, we have received no response regarding our inquiries, technical support requests, or account management matters. The complete lack of communication and customer support has caused significant operational difficulties and has negatively affected the management of our website and educational platform. This level of service raises serious concerns about the provider's reliability, professionalism, and commitment to its contractual obligations. We respectfully request an immediate response to our pending requests and a prompt resolution of all outstanding issues. If the company is unable or unwilling to provide the required support, we request full cooperation in transferring the hosting account and related services to an alternative provider without further delay.

DR ALEXO (@DrAlexos) reportedBtw 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
