    I never had a domain registrar who was easy to work with. They always upsell things, bloat you with all kind of **** you don't ever need, while the basic things don't work. Just now, Namecheap - I can not see the host value without entering edit mode. If I enter edit mode to see it, I can not cancel, I only have save or delete options. Horrible interface. And, even better, the page froze browser tab a few times, I had to kill the page and reopen. Is it really that hard?

    So My Namecheap hosted websites where down for last 3 days, one is a wordpress website and another is a Flask app. Namecheap support system wasn't working for me, Max to Max they were blaming me. Just changed the nameservers to cloudflare and things got back to normal.

    Good question. The domain system is one of the most overlooked money machines on the internet. Here is how it actually works. At the top of the entire system sits ICANN. Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. It is a non-profit organisation that controls the master list of every domain extension that exists. The .com, .net, .org, the country codes like .in and .uk, all of it. ICANN does not sell domains directly. It approves and licenses registries. Registries are the companies that actually manage specific extensions. Verisign manages .com and .net. They maintain the master database of every .com domain ever registered. Verisign charges registrars a wholesale fee of around $8 to $9 per .com domain per year. This cost is essentially fixed regardless of how many domains exist. Creating a new domain entry in a database costs fractions of a cent. Registrars are the companies you actually buy from. GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains. They pay the registry the wholesale rate and sell to you at a markup. That markup is the registrar's business. So the cost breakdown for a .com domain looks like this: ICANN takes a small fee per registration, currently around $0.18 per domain per year. Verisign takes around $8 to $9 as the registry. The registrar adds their margin on top and sells it to you for anywhere from $10 to $15 at standard price. The actual infrastructure cost of creating and maintaining a domain entry in a database is almost zero at scale. The fees are for the system, the monopoly, and the maintenance of the global DNS infrastructure that makes the internet work. Here is the part most people miss. .com is a monopoly. Only Verisign can issue .com domains. They negotiated a contract with ICANN that essentially locks them in as the .com registry indefinitely. They process over 170 million .com domains. At $8 per domain per year that is over a billion dollars annually for maintaining a database. The domain you pay $12 for cost about 18 cents to actually create. The rest is the price of the address system that makes the entire internet navigable.

    @Namecheap Please remove the requirement to whitelist an IP address in order to use your API service. Thank you.

    @rozzabuilds I'm switching to Cloudflare from Namecheap for domains where I don't need custom domain email support

    I found the issue! The issue was that I am in fact an idiot SB gives the FQDN as the host to copy/paste for the acme challenge Namecheap wants only the subdomain 🫠

    @vibeonX69 Namecheap all the way for me. Never liked GoDaddy's upsells. Hostinger's cool but I stick with Namecheap for domains.

    @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.

    @Legundo Do you mean self hosting the emails, or having an email address at a domain you own? The former I can't help with, the latter your domain registrar should offer email aliasing for free—I have domains at namecheap & namesilo and both offer this so I'd be shocked if yours doesnt

    @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.

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