  @melvynx Say why? Tell your story with Namecheap. Don't just tell us it's the worst

  A simple 1 page website domain setup led to a series of subdomain crashes for a client. Spent last 3 hours troubleshooting. Assumed that Namecheap support rep had a bulk DNS upload capability but NO - it took 2 hours to manually upload each of the 200 records. @Namecheap plz include a bulk DNS import and export functionality.

  @thozharvaliant Yes they asked me to fix it and if not then they have asked me to upgrade. Hosting Provider is Namecheap Yeah, they did but I didn't understand a thing only 😭

  @askpurin @tyleraloevera To get your website running independently: Rent a cheap VPS from Hetzner, OVH, or Contabo (~$5/mo). Install Ubuntu, then Nginx + your stack (Node/PHP/Python/etc). Use Docker for portability and Certbot for free HTTPS. Register domain via Namecheap or Njalla with privacy enabled. Point DNS to your VPS IP. For static sites, build with Hugo/Next.js and rsync deploy. For dynamic, add PostgreSQL/MySQL. Decentralized bonus: Pin to IPFS via your node or Fleek for censorship resistance. Full control = no platform bans. Start with a $5 droplet and scale. Specific tech stack? More details help.

  @melvynx Saying namecheap and mongodb are bad, straight up a bad take, prob havent really used it

  Nexus Intelligence (@nexushqintel) reported 17 minutes ago

  @Polymarket @PelicanAI_ independently verified the polyboost forensic. Domain registered 22 days ago on Namecheap with privacy shield. Already flagged low-trust by multiple scanners. Same affiliate ring, same bot reply network, same scam. Different wrapper.

  I stopped using Gmail for business email. Day 4: account suspended. No warning. Replaced with Namecheap Private Email on my own domain in 10 minutes. Rule: never use free infrastructure for anything that generates revenue.

  Mine works very well...I use it to pay for backblaze cloud, cloudflare r2, workers, domains subscriptions, namecheap domains and OVH cloud and no issues for a year now. Before I tried the Airtel one but it couldn't pay for backblaze service so I switched to MTN and it's fine

  @adahstwt Namecheap is a super awful decision. You could use something better such as Vercel domains or Hostinger. Namecheap is too bad now.

  @joseph_ajibodu @asemota cloudflare doesn’t support a lot of tld. The best bet is namecheap.

  So @Namecheap is no longer giving 3 free mailboxes. Damn, we need an alternative solution. You cannot be purchasing domains for 11 USD and pay 70 dollars for mail boxes, we are not in the 90s
