Tung 🟠🔴 ⚔ (@Tng40234067) reportedImagine losing your online identity due to a registrar issue. This happens because centralized registrars like GoDaddy or Namecheap essentially rent domains to users, who have limited control over their ownership. If the registrar suspends, seizes, or loses the domain, the user is left with nothing. Doma Protocol solves this by tokenizing domains, allowing true ownership and transferability. * Tokenized domains are stored on-chain * Transferable without registrar involvement * Owners have full control over their assets This shift in domain ownership dynamics has significant implications for the future of online identities and assets. With a total network value of $27.52M and 48,421 wallets holding tokenized domains, the foundations of a new paradigm are being laid. A new era of digital ownership is unfolding. @domaprotocol @D3inc #Web3Domains

Moritz Wallawitsch (@MoritzW42) reportedevery dev tool NEEDS a cli! I never want to click around in some ui if i can tell claude code to use a cli. i'm considering switching from namecheap and loops bc of this
-
Matthias Reinholz (@MattReinholz) reportedInteresting side-fact: they say the issue was about DNSSEC. However, in contrast to .com, @Namecheap doesn't let me configure DNSSEC for .de domains (not because of the current issue but generally). @grok does DENIC use a different layer/method of DNSSEC that doesn't allow configuring it on the registry level?

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)
-
Ramil Mastiyev (@rmastiyev) reported@Namecheap Almost a day 'fighting' with your tech team about port 80 blocked (VPS). Proof: fresh installs, external tests, logs — packets time out externally on :80 while :8080 works! Your team just points back at me. Can someone from your network/infra team really look at this?

timagixe (@timagixe) reportedi remember the first time I bought domain on NameCheap the first thing I did in 10 minutes - transferred domain to CloudFlare luckily to me it was .com - so no issues with that
-
Mayur Lalwani (@mayurlalwani3) reported@TTrimoreau It really depends on what you're looking for. Price, support, or extra features. I've had good experiences with Namecheap

Christopher Franko (@chrisjfranko) reported@Namecheap Oh ****... Nice! I thought I was tripping.
-
Akinyinka-Emmanuel (@akinyinkemmauel) reportedI didn’t get paid for this. But @Namecheap customer service is one of the best I’ve experienced. Every time I ran into issues, they showed up immediately. That’s what people forget: Your value isn’t what you say. It’s what customers consistently experience.

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
-
John van Rijck (@John_ACW) reportedDoes @Namecheap pay their support team based on the amount of minutes they're in an active chat or what? Every support chat opens with: "Please allow me 10-12 minutes to check" Terrible support
-
4L.com (@4Ldotcom) reportedNote: The domain was using Afternic nameservers and showed the Afternic landing page, so the lead did not come from the domain landing page. The sale was completed through Spaceship, which means the buyer likely came from the Spaceship or Namecheap network/marketplace.
