Adithya 🚀 (@adithyashreshti) reportedWTF, @Namecheap. Need recommendations. For YEARS, I’ve recommended Namecheap over GoDaddy because the support was great and I trusted the experience. Now I’m finding that EVERY SINGLE domain I searched on Namecheap’s WHOIS less than 24 hours ago is suddenly “taken.” Not one. Every. Single. One. People on Reddit raised this exact issue months ago. I defended Namecheap because I’d never experienced it myself and even mentioned it is trust worthy. Well, I faced it now. I searched each domain ONCE. Just once. I wasn’t repeatedly checking them or trying to register them. And now they’re all “taken.” Maybe it’s a coincidence. But it’s a pretty damn weird one because every domain I that I had checked for availability is gone at easily 10x the price. I’m seriously considering moving everything out of Namecheap. Who are you guys using instead? Already using Cloudflare for .com, but I still have a lot of domains at NC.

Alex (@AlexejKirillov) reported@mwzd @MichaelCyger You'll always find companies that were successful no matter the TLD. Money will be made on these TLDs, but it will be the owners of the TLD, then maybe 0.1% of those who get their hands on the perfect span the dots, and the rest will just be rinsed. Let's just use the Namecheap list, with "Power" as the brand name - or you can just use any other Keyword (I like "Open" to make it fun as well) for that matter. In vast majority of cases it will not form a "span the dot" or "domain hack" brand. Are they all branding their company "Power" and the TLD doesn't matter? If yes, and you're marketing as "Power" only, imagine the marketing $$$ waste Are they all branding as Power+respective TLD? If yes, how much money will it take to change decades of human habit and behaviour to re-educate your customer, so they remember the full domain? And how much free traffic will you generate for Power+TLD․com and the waste of $$$ in the process power․aid power․arc power․asi power․brain power․clone power․craft power․den power․did power․droid power․fab power․flux power․folio power․forge power․foundry power․gate power․grid power․intel power․intelligence power․kit power․lab power․lens power․lift power․logic power․maker power․mart power․matrix power․mesh power․mod power․ops power․path power․scan power․sense power․shift power․ship power․sync power․synth power․sys power․trek power․view power․wave

shon.vibes (@shonvibes) reported@Namecheap Apparently with namecheap's new terrible interface you cannot set up a default font for all of your emails. Those of us who run businesses often choose to do this so that message font aligns with the vibe of our company. Now, you have to manually do it in every email.

Richard Kirkendall (@namecheapceo123) reported@a_shimanski @Namecheap Sorry about that and I agree, we could have postponed this until next week especially after the recent outage.

spencer :) (@spencerpauly) reportedThis morning I asked codex: "move my site to vercel to save costs". It asked me to login to namecheap for my dns records. "Ohh, move the nameservers to cloudflare too". 1 hour later - both are migrated.

Gary Kriebel (@GaryKriebel) reported@Namecheap You don't release new software removing functionality from the users. Your actions will make me miss my wife's doctor's appointments. I've expressed the details to your support staff. I will be looking for a new provider. This is unacceptable.

Joseph Miclaus (@josephmiclaus) reportedCan anyone beat my ~€10/mo hosting (~€120/year)? → 10 domains included btw. At €12.89 (Namecheap retail price) per .com/year I would already exceed the hosting plan (€128.9/year) just for domain costs. For Laravel I have PHP/Composer, DB, cron, limited SSH and custom domains. What I'm missing is native Go support. It only supports CGI. No process manager. No reverse proxy. Do you know a good/better hosting setup for Laravel, Go or both at roughly this price?
