    @CertainLogicAI @buildwithmaya @Namecheap Agreed for the validation phase — cheapest thing that ships wins. Where a geo-TLD earns its keep is after you've got signal and want the URL itself doing some work (local SEO, word-of-mouth memorability) instead of just hosting code.

    @robj3d3 @Namecheap flirting with a domain registrar on public twitter is a cry for help

    @prbhtkumr @Namecheap @snigdhasur Went through the Snigdha Sur case, it looks like there is some legality issue with their domain being used in India. Will read more to understand before making any judgement. Ps - I use namecheap for my website domain and it has worked great for me.

    @DNWE_com DNWE charges 15% commission on sales? What value or services do you provide to warrant such? This is just greed. Are you comparing yourself with Afternic with big distribution network? Spaceship with Namecheap distribution even charges 10% commission.

    @13_narcissus tbh they're all over the place currently. Some are at Hostinger, some at namecheap, some at other German legacy service providers... need to consolidate but low prio

    @arvidkahl @Namecheap very strange. did Namecheap support confirm there is no manual transfer path either?

    never search domains on godaddy. they very obviously resell this info. better use cloudflare or namecheap or porkbun.

    It doesn't matter how great your content or product is if your audience never sees it. ​The fix requires updating your technical security keys inside your domain host (like @GoDaddy or @Namecheap) so providers know you are a trusted sender.

    @Porkbun @that2art @Lunascaped no shade at you guys i've even used y'all before<3 i had great service too! but in this specific case i know what im talking. spaceship/namecheap will provide their 'Withheld for Privacy ehf' (i had a domain it expired) and for that same extension you guys say no whois privacy

    @defi_oasis @katerleonid I would really love to connect - discuss. How many have Namecheap done this to? You can't host minimum bid, no reserve auctions and cancel the winning bid when the bid is met & you don't like the final bid price - then reauction the domain. NC is based in Arizona. @AZAGMayes

    @YashHustle_22 I usually go with Namecheap, cheap prices and solid support.

    5/7 - Bitcoin users already trusted Namecheap. In December 2011 it turned GoDaddy's SOPA support into "Move Your Domain Day," welcoming thousands of transferred domains and donating over $100,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Its base was the crowd asking for Bitcoin.

    @cammygoltd @Namecheap If you have already submitted a ticket to our Abuse Team, please patiently wait for their review and response as our Support Team cannot assist with this type of request. We apologize we could not be of further assistance in this matter. Kind Regards,

  • 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% — 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

    @kopertop I’ll check those out. I was paying namecheap to do this, but their service wasn’t very good.

    @diegohaz Already did that a while ago. I really disliked namecheap, their support was poor and the inability to simply change a username was crazy to me. Everything is on Cloudflare now and couldn’t be happier!

    @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
