  @buildwithmaya @Namecheap Namecheap funded a whole graveyard of my half-built ideas. Buying the domain takes 5 minutes. Shipping the actual thing is where I disappear for 3 months. The domain was never the hard part.

  @MacdevM Mostly comes down to control and pricing for me Cloudflare and Namecheap usually stand out for clean management and no unnecessary upsells 🚀

  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).

  @gauravsapkotanp Definitely not Namecheap, because @theo said they were bad and scammy.

  @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.

  @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.

  @Namecheap every other week there's a domain I win domains with non-functioning namerservers. 3-4 times in 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.

  @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.
