Chris Seltzer (@ChrisSeltzer) reported@neerajjj6785 Really depends on what you're using it for and where your stuff will be hosted. If you're using a platform like AWS then buying it through them can save you some headaches down the line. Otherwise I've always used Namecheap but heard good things about Cloudflare.

Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported5/7 - 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.

Arvid Kahl (@arvidkahl) reported@Namecheap Cloudflare also doesn't support .de TLDs. The only one that seems to do it out of the box is GoDaddy. Yikes.

prabhat (@prbhtkumr) reported@vivekteega @Namecheap @snigdhasur hey i'm glad that it has worked for you, i doubt most people using such a well known service for standard domain holding would have much issues. but namecheap has made a life long hater out of me and i would do my best to divert any and all business to better alternatives.

Rob (@RobGuerra90) reported@YashHustle_22 I use Namecheap, their interface is clean and their support is actually helpful, no regrets here

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

Pitch Market Strategies & Public Relations, LLC (@team_pitch) reported@digitalocean yβall left my company in a lurch, and now Iβm looking to shift. Overpriced droplets in my opinion, horrible support, unless youβre paying $999 a month, in my opinion and a lack of uptime stability on smaller tiers in my opinion. @Namecheap VPS is lookin good.

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
-
Atta π¬ (@attacomsian) reported@codewith55 Namecheap for buying. i spent years in the domain world, GoDaddy works but the upsells never stop.
-
Alex @Bickov (@bickov) reported@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.
-
Julian Engel (@julianengel) reported@scheemunai @spaceship @Dynadot Pricing is the biggest factor (spaceship is owned by namecheap - but pricing is much better), better UX and both of these support MCP and API access so they are agent friendly :)
-
Edgex (@SahilExec) reported@neerajjj6785 Iβve stuck with Namecheap for years, cheap, easy UI and solid support.

Novit Ekka (@novitekka) reported@Namecheap Your servers are down. My website is inaccessible.
