-
Favour Light (@RealLight47) reported@Namecheap has probably the worst customer support I've ever had to deal with. I've been locked out of my account and haven't gotten a single reply to any of the emails I've sent.

Bennico (@baro0xx) reported@Namecheap Fix your servers!!! 33% packet lost to 8.8.8.8 is unacceptable even for a server in Africa. Your tech support telling me to reboot and change hostname. They clueless. This is a serious production software. Fix your servers and educate your tech support!!!
-
LND (@y1vl3vy) reported@the_smart_ape Tbh I have nothing to do with it. There are no clear alternatives for gmail. Every other email registrar could fall as well so no point into thinking that switching from google is gonna save you for sure. Namecheap can go down, microsoft as well and every other ******* email registrar.

WP Websites (@WebsitesWp) reported@katerleonid None. *Godaddy-pricy, had market place problems. *Hostinger+cloudflare-wouldnt use, not their niche *Namesilo-had major security incident, noone cared. *namecheap-not cheap, cluttered UI, intrusive upsells *spaceship-cheaper than internetbs, terrible UI
-
mediocre poster (@BopityBibity) reported@pcshipp you will want to transfer it to cloudflare anyhow for the cool stuff it has down the line (email routing is quite cool). don't even touch godaddy. namecheap iirc is cheaper upfront sometimes but renewal costs more
-
Sean Coker (@okcoker) reportedI later found out, you can no longer even register this TLD on the Namecheap website because they have sunsetted them according to customer "support" 3/

Andrea | Solo Tech Founder | Building In Public (@indieappstudio) reported@Addymiss08 namecheap (I actually bought a domain today to add to the list of domains I'll never use)

Aurelien Dio (@aurelien_dio) reportedShipping SnappyName v2 this week It's a terrible business idea. I know > Saturated category. Every major registrar has a domain names generator > Most are free > The main keyword "domain name generator" is locked by GoDaddy, Namecheap, Shopify, Hostinger, etc > Domain buying is impulsive. Decisions happen in seconds > Naming is emotional, not rational. The heart picks, not the spreadsheet that tells you what to buy > The average buyer registers 1-2 domains a year. No recurrence, no LTV > The good .coms are gone. Result quality degrades structurally every year So why am I shipping it anyway? 1/ All existing domain name generators are rotten... I think everyone agrees with me on this! 2/ It can still make $200-500/month. Not life-changing. But a real, if modest, cash stream 3/ It's a sellable asset. Even at $300/month, that's a $3-4K exit 4/ This is my first SaaS that I developed 100% on my own and bootstrapped. No more fundraising of hundreds K€ and a technical team of 10 devs behind me. That's the most important thing, I'm very proud of what I've built myself 💪 So, I ship v2 this week and we'll see what happens!
