  Waking up to @Namecheap being down is not how I wanted to finish off my weekend. I've never seen an outage like this before with them!

  I've been with @Namecheap since 2010 and I buy all my domains through them. Well, because of a payday issue, I've lost one and I'm not happy. It's now in auction and I likely won't be able to get it back. I had a website attached to it.

  @BTCUFO It’s really **** that @Namecheap don’t let users list .ai domain names on their platform

  @noob_contrarian Hey, for your SBI virtual Visa card: It works on GPay/Stripe but fails on PayPal/Namecheap likely due to SBI's restrictions on debit/virtual cards for those platforms (common RBI/PayPal mismatch on OTP/3D Secure). Quick fixes: - Double-check intl transactions enabled in YONO app. - Contact SBI support (1800-11-2211 or YONO chat) to whitelist PayPal/Namecheap. - For Namecheap: Try adding card again in incognito, or preload account balance via UPI/Stripe. - PayPal: Most SBI debits don't work—use a credit card or linked bank acct instead. If still stuck, reply with exact error msg.

  @milanm_ @levelsio @Cloudflare To add here, since CFs offices are in France, they overcomply with every bs EU request, even if you host a service that is US only. They won't do that for the content part, so namecheap registar + CF dns + CF CDN is actually best of both worlds combo.

  @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

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

  Day 63/365 Headache of a day. Found out wix plays terribly with third parties. Went down a rabbit hole and ended up with a very tedious process to get away from wix. Learned that if you’re going to buy a domain, do it from namecheap unless you plan on using a wix-created site.

  You need more domains than you think and you need to buy them smarter than you probably are. Grab them from Porkbun or Namecheap. Spaceship is my favourite. Never from your email provider directly because the markup is criminal. Buy variations of your main domain with prefixes and suffixes. If your company is called Acme then you want getacme, acmehq, tryacme, acmegroup Dot com is ideal but dot co and dot info work fine too. Figure out how many emails you want to send per day Divide by 30 for Google inboxes Then divide by three And that tells you how many domains you need. Sending 3,000 a day means you need 100 inboxes across maybe 30 to 35 domains and that sounds like a lot until you realise domains cost about 10 quid each for a year. People try to run big volume off 3 domains and then wonder why their sender reputation is in the bin by week two.

  @Namecheap So, you are not going to take action against the domain simply because it removed the subdomain? The root domain is the threat, and it continues to create subdomains with this content. This is not an isolated issue.
