    @shirish_arya16 NEVER NEVER NEVER Namecheap. They always try to scam you, deceive you, increas prices, etc.. the support is good recently, but it wasn't a year ago and before.

  • Aaronontheweb Aaron Stannard (@Aaronontheweb) reported

    @_neonsunset consolidating all of my domain names onto NameCheap is one of those to-do list tasks I've had for years - never important enough to penetrate the top of the list. But now that I'm going to have to fork over $30 each maybe it's time to get moving on it

  • greekdubliner ⭕️ Lefteris (@greekdubliner) reported

    @shirish_arya16 Namecheap. World class support

  • MCCJasonX Jason (@MCCJasonX) reported

    @shirish_arya16 Namecheap has never let me down! GoDaddy experience was painful having to auth for every dns change… maybe that setting can be turned off though.

  • chriscanal chriscanal (@chriscanal) reported

    @Aaronontheweb I recently moved 5 domains from them to namecheap, it was a ******* nightmare. Everything kept failing and **** all timely notifications when they did. came with a business i bought, I wouldn't use them otherwise

  • 1shosial shosial (@1shosial) reported from City of Austin, Texas

    @shirish_arya16 We’ve leaned toward Namecheap lately—clean UI, decent support, no upsell madness. What about you? Anyone using Spaceship?

  • xprienceLab Xprience Lab (@xprienceLab) reported

    @shirish_arya16 Namecheap… but it seems like they have some security issues My website with them was hacked one time

  • Cherelynn Cherelynn (@Cherelynn) reported

    @Namecheap Do you have a phone number for tech assistance? I've been through 5 chat bots and have not been able to resolve the issue.

  • CranQnow CRANQ (@CranQnow) reported

    @sonofalli Oof, as long as they're doing it on NameCheap there isn't an issue imo

  • LuckyPhelps Lucky Phelps (@LuckyPhelps) reported

    @genjoeyai GoDaddy is the absolute worst. Namecheap or Vercel

  • saidutt_46 glitchVerse (@saidutt_46) reported

    @shirish_arya16 I usually go with Namecheap or Spaceship. Also built a Rust CLI tool to bulk-check domain availability: [domain-check]. Saves me from clicking through UIs — terminal does the work. Runs down 100-500 domains in less than a couple of seconds.

  • PaulineWeb0 Pauline Web (@PaulineWeb0) reported

    @jpmonette @genjoeyai Namecheap took my client website down twice 🤦

  • yasirabbas135 Yaser Abbass (@yasirabbas135) reported

    @shirish_arya16 I prefer Namecheap for their customer service and straightforward pricing. What has your experience been with these platforms?

  • heftysammich HeftySammich (Dave) (@heftysammich) reported

    @genjoeyai Never GoDaddy Always namecheap

  • OrucovaLeylaa Leyla Orucova (@OrucovaLeylaa) reported

    @shirish_arya16 Namecheap all the way — clean UI, solid support, and no sneaky upsells.

  • high_ultimate Root === 🇦🇲🇦🇷🇪🇸🇨🇭 (@high_ultimate) reported

    @shirish_arya16 Namecheap was great, but then i couldn’t recover an old account, had terrible customer service, so now only squarespace.

  • zverhu Susid Zverhu (@zverhu) reported

    @shirish_arya16 I always used Namecheap until it became impossible to pay with tokens, because the terrible BitPay asks for a passport. Spaceship is the same. I don't understand why they use BitPay.

  • danielmlozano Daniel M. Lozano (@danielmlozano) reported

    @genjoeyai Are people still buying domains from GoDaddy? They have terrible practices (such as buying domains that you searched for and then selling them as premium domains), higher prices, etc. Namecheap is the way to go.

  • TheRealJoseph01 Joseph Williams⚡️ (@TheRealJoseph01) reported

    Namecheap has one of the best customer support services

  • fritzjackhunt jackfritz' (@fritzjackhunt) reported

    @genjoeyai Namecheap, their customer support is the best I’ve ever used 💯

  • mstables1991 Michael Stables (@mstables1991) reported

    @genjoeyai I use namecheap but that is because I also run off one of the VPS's so you don't have to wait for domain transfers to use them... Have not had any issue with there servers

  • Kcz2025 DTexHexIV 🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@Kcz2025) reported

    @GoPulsecom @Namecheap When are you going to fix the stake portfolio visibility issue?

  • evil_cleopatra evil cleopatra (@evil_cleopatra) reported

    @shirish_arya16 i use namecheap, their prices are fair and the interface is clean. never had any issues with them.

  • nikhilbhima NB (@nikhilbhima) reported

    100% sure namecheap sells customer data. Just bought a domain 2 days ago and been receiving so many sales messages regarding hosting, website development etc.

  • marouane_souda Marouane Souda (@marouane_souda) reported

    @shirish_arya16 Namecheap. Been for years. Never disappointed.

  • Govind_vash02 Govind Vashishat (@Govind_vash02) reported

    @genjoeyai Godaddy is the worst, namecheap is much better

  • based64_eth based64.ron (@based64_eth) reported

    @shirish_arya16 Remember when Namecheap OTP service was down and everyone was locked out of their accounts for like a year

  • via_myisrael Oluwafemi Israel Ayobami (@via_myisrael) reported

    @hiayoola Well I don't panic as I know it either one or some new plugin I have added that would have caused issues Recently I added a plugin to help cache and the website was scattered I removed and it was fine so any such I issues I even sort it with hosting @Namecheap team attimes

  • Bradydigital Brady (@Bradydigital) reported

    @shirish_arya16 I switched from Google Domains over to Namecheap when Google killed their domain service
