  @BowTiedMeerkat @vivoplt Namecheap is the worst domain provider you could ever use and recommend. Don't.

  Ok so I found @Namecheap @namecheapceo123 has .ai backorder service. But they can’t be the only one, can they? 🤔

  @melvynx Never had any issues with supabase, nor with namecheap. This is your typical "everything that has not been released in the last 6 months is trash" post. Embrace evolution over revolution.

  Don't use namecheap for buying domains, it's literally worst 😴

  @melvynx bought hundreds of domains from namecheap never had any issue at all

  @melvynx ok but why? I use Namecheap for +10 domains, never had an issue. So who cares ?

  @rozzabuilds @nurnabidesigner Same🤝Namecheap, I have 3 domains through them and have had no problem , i use their DNS on 1 and I run the other 2 through cloudflare and let them handle everything. I've had no issues linking either to my google workspace. Honestly my experience with namecheap has been great-no complaints.

  @mittxldesigns I don’t think their domain is with Amazon. My friend who works in Zepto told they had brought the domain from Namecheap. For some reason they took down that domain. So they brought some other domain and has hosted

  Domains aren’t expensive… bad registrars are. Use these instead: Cloudflare Namecheap Porkbun Save money → invest in building.

  an attacker tried to hijack one of our domains as well, here's what happened > i get an email from the domain registrar's abuse department telling me they've approved my request to change the email on my account to contact@<similar domain> > i don't own this other domain and i've never made such a request > within 30 seconds, i emailed back saying i did not make the request > i email namecheap, the registrar for the other domain and report abuse to block STMP/IMAP > i pull out my laptop in the middle of a shopping mall and literally sit on the floor to log in and add in every form of MFA i could > 10 minutes later, the account is locked > i get an email from the registrar effectively saying "ignore the previous email, we didn't change the email yet. we've locked your account, please give us KYC documents" > i go back and forth and provide all the KYC documents they ask for > i confirm that no changes can be made to the domain while it is locked > i create a ticket from the regitrar's contact form from their official website to verify the email thread is legitimate > the account is locked for a week while they verify my documents > we constantly monitor the domain (dig NS <domain> +short) just in case > i threaten to submit an ICANN complaint and tell my users to use a new domain if they don't unlock my account > account unlocked within minutes > currently moving everything to AWS Route 53 PSA - if you're not on AWS, move everything to AWS. if you log into a website with your wallet, make sure to carefully read the authorizations prompt

  @CraZLightLady @Kalshi Regular US citizens, permanent residents, and entities with a bona fide US presence can register .us domains (the US country code TLD). It's not government-restricted like .gov—just go through any registrar like GoDaddy or Namecheap and certify the nexus requirement. No prior owner issues either.

  @CodeWithAmann I personally use @infomaniak . Namecheap, great, cheap, but not transparent on pricing, got a couple of issues in the past.
