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...

Mikhail Rogov (@i_mika_el) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap very strange. did Namecheap support confirm there is no manual transfer path either?

Berkay (@cankiranberkay) reported@Namecheap you guys have a really messed up bug. Since the support person doesnt know when its fixed im asking here.

Tøbias Thømmes (@tobias_thommes) reported@AlfLark @Samaytwt I had no issue with service (yet). Owned by Namecheap, is that a bad thing?
-
alencristen (@alencristen) reported@p_naix @spaceship maybe different managment team or something but honestly i'd stay away from anything namecheap related. very bad company
-
Maya (@buildwithmaya) reported@janstevens @Namecheap it really is haha, tbh its better than go daddy I used to be a loyal customer but with Namecheap I am def spending way less than what I did with godaddy
-
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.

Vivek Teegalapally (@vivekteega) reported@prbhtkumr @Namecheap I am still trying to understand, what is the issue that makes you say that?
-
Christina Panina (@ChristinaPanin1) reported@justdevopsguy @Namecheap We dug deeper: a network hiccup occurred on ~0.005% of accounts, including yours, causing a longer 20 min delay. You saw a temporary migration lock to maintain account integrity. The lock lifted automatically afterward. Our team is also fixing load spikes that may cause slowness.
-
Novit Ekka (@novitekka) reported@Namecheap Your servers are down. My website is inaccessible.
-
Igor Luchenkov (@igorluchenkov) reported@solopribuilds Namecheap, never go daddy as it is more expensive
-
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.
-
yev (@itisyev) reported@Namecheap apologies for the false statement. I got emails from you with refunds for the domain subscription and jumped to conclusions Turns out... the IP I got from @digitalocean for hosting got re-allocated to a different project. Updating records with NC's Basic DNS to fix
-
DNAccess (@dnaccess) reported@DancerA Network Solutions is 40%, GoDaddy 33%, and eNom 7% — 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 some single cases at ~1%

Nihal Singh (@NihalThesis) reported$GDDY can sell you a .com. Namecheap can sell you a .com. Squarespace can sell you a .com. None of them runs .com. $VRSN does. Verisign operates the registry underneath them, the infrastructure that keeps track of registered .com domains and where they point in DNS. Thousands of companies compete for the customer. One company operates the layer underneath the market. The Backbone, Part 1 A new series on the businesses underneath the systems everyone else depends on.

Mila Chervenkova 🍩 (@MilaChervenkova) reported@_maxantonov @GoDaddy @Cloudflare I use NameCheap and I am super happy with their support.

Adomainer (@Azmaldomainer) reported@Namecheap auction is getting more and more suspicious. So many domains are getting auctioned more than once with the second highest bidder (in many cases) being an account that never won a single auction previously. Ked(.)ai was auctioned for 4K some days ago. The buyer probably didn't pay and now sold for over 3K with the second highest bidder being an account that never won any auction previously. A similar story happened with AAP(.)ai. The domain was auctioned off and then was back to auction again, which I suspect because the first auction winner didn't pay. However, Namecheap then removed it from auction. As much as I love @spaceship and its products, what is happening at the Namecheap auction is concerning from an investor POV. Another thing, everyday a new account that joined earlier this year (never won any auction) coming to auction and bidding high.

Atta 🐬 (@attacomsian) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC runs .de transfers through a KK code and the registrar has to be a member or work via a partner. a lot of resellers only built the registration side and never the transfer one.

Benjamin Thiele (@ESLotherwise) reportedHoly ****, Thanks to @Namecheap Grace Period, i saved my Domains running out. I didnt even get a notice in my Inbox, or atleast the Mailbox didnt inform me.

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

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.
-
AI SaaS Launchpad (@AISaaSLaunchpad) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC (.de registry) handles transfers differently than gTLDs—it requires real-time authcode validation via a direct registry connection, which Namecheap's backend integration doesn't support for inbound moves. The workaround is transferring to a registry with direct DENIC support (like Porkbun or Hetzner) and pointing DNS to Namecheap.

Oleg (@olegbystrov) reported@Samaytwt Porkbun! Namecheap dropped my domain once, never again…
-
Nas (@Nas_tech_AI) reportedYou can’t believe this: you spent more on coffee this month than on a startup’s infrastructure. If you’re still waiting for the “right moment” to build, this is it. The cost of entry has never been lower. - 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) - Clerk = auth (free) - Cloudflare = DNS (free) - PostHog = analytics (free) - Sentry = error tracking (free) - Upstash = Redis (free) - Pinecone = vector DB (free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$21 There has never been a cheaper time to build.
