-
Lg Shurley (@SurelyLg) reported@Namecheap #namecheap lost a thousands of dollars today due to bad business. They refused to refund a purchase they made a mistake on. This violates a sacred covenant between business & customer. They are unethical and have forgotten what it means to appreciate a customer.#ethics

yev (@itisyev) reported@Namecheap apologies for the false statement. I got emails from you with refunds for the domain subscription and jumped to conclusions Turns out... the IP I got from @digitalocean for hosting got re-allocated to a different project. Updating records with NC's Basic DNS to fix

Brian Lee Mayes โ โ๐ข๐ฒ๐โ ๐ข๐ฝ๐ป๐ฒ๐ท๐ฐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฎ (@BrianLeeMayes) reported@Namecheap I've just about had it with Namecheap. My email/Roundcube is suddenly unsecure, and attempting to log into Namecheap, I'm asked to provide a code you sent to my email, which I cannot open! I've never seen this error before, so at least you're keeping it suspenseful.

Priyangu Patel (@patelpriyangu) reported@PratikSinhatwt Namecheap I use which is the best in pricing and support.

Pitch Market Strategies & Public Relations, LLC (@team_pitch) reported@digitalocean yโall left my company in a lurch, and now Iโm looking to shift. Overpriced droplets in my opinion, horrible support, unless youโre paying $999 a month, in my opinion and a lack of uptime stability on smaller tiers in my opinion. @Namecheap VPS is lookin good.

DNAccess (@dnaccess) reported@DancerA Network Solutions is 40%, GoDaddy 33%, and eNom 7% โ so those three alone account for 80%, and Network Solutions plus GoDaddy together are 73%. After that it drops into a long tail: Domain(com)~4%, then Moniker, Namecheap, and 1&1 IONOS at ~2% each, and some single cases at ~1%

Shalom Arputha Singh (@ItsShalomTechy) reported@PashaBorsai I recommend you to go with Namecheap bro, It was good. GoDaddy is really bad with UX and also might cost a lot in the future. You can easily tranfer the domain but I think it might cost you some $$

Shilpi Agrawal (@shilpiagrawal55) reported@_swanand vaguely familiar with dns enough to get my work done. Had added Custom vercel DNS on namecheap (now that i open namecheap and see). Did this few months ago so no recollection except i dont remember having issues with it. Have two custom domains added on Vercel.

Subham (@iamsubham067) reported- Claude = coding. ($20/mo) - Supabase = backend. (Free) - Vercel = deploying. (Free) - Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) - Stripe = payments. (2.9%/transaction) - GitHub = version control. (Free) - Resend = emails. (Free) There has never been a cheaper time to build.

Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported3/7 - The bold part was zero-confirmation delivery. A Bitcoin payment isn't settled until miners include it in a block, roughly 10 minutes at best. Most merchants waited for one to six confirmations. Namecheap activated your purchase the moment the transaction hit the network.

RGK๐น (@rgk_degen) reported1 prompt. Claude builds a $2,000/week website from scratch. Hereโs the exact system, step by step. Most people build sites the wrong way. They hire a developer for $3,000โ8,000. Wait 3โ6 weeks. Get something generic. Then pay another $500/month to maintain it. The new way: 1 prompt. 45 minutes. Launch-ready. WHAT YOUโRE BUILDING A niche service landing page conversion-optimized, Stripe-integrated, SEO-structured that targets a local or vertical market with $200โ500 average order value. Target: $2,000/week minimum by week 4. THE PROMPT ARCHITECTURE Your 1 prompt has 4 layers: โ Layer 1 Business context โIโm building a [niche] service site targeting [city/audience]. Average order: $[X]. Primary CTA: book a call / buy now.โ โ Layer 2 Stack spec โBuild in HTML/CSS/JS, Stripe Checkout embedded, Calendly widget for booking, Google Analytics 4 ready.โ โ Layer 3 Content skeleton โHomepage: hero with pain point + 3 benefits + social proof section + FAQ + CTA. No blog. No filler.โ โ Layer 4 Conversion rules โAbove the fold: 1 headline, 1 subheadline, 1 button. No nav clutter. Mobile-first. Load under 2 seconds.โ Paste all 4 layers into Claude as 1 message. Hit send. WHAT CLAUDE DELIVERS IN 45 MINUTES โ Full HTML file, production-ready โ Stripe Checkout flow embedded โ Mobile layout done โ Meta tags + OG data for social sharing โ Contact form wired to Formspree (free tier) You copy the output. Drop into Netlify or Vercel. Live in 8 minutes. Domain: $12/year on Namecheap. Hosting: $0. Total launch cost: $12. REALISTIC REVENUE PROGRESSION Week 1 Site live. Run $50 in Meta ads to local audience. 3 conversions at $150 = $450. Week 2 Add Google Business Profile. 2 organic calls. 1 closes. $200. Week 3 Raise price 20%. Run retargeting on the 60 visitors who didnโt convert. $600. Week 4 Email the 3 week-1 buyers. Ask for referrals. 2 referrals at $250 = $500 + repeat. Total week: $2,100+. The site didnโt change. The traffic system compounded.

Bill Hartzer (@bhartzer) reported@DNaccess analyzed their list of hundreds of stolen domain names (mostly publicly announced stolen domains and many not publicly disclosed). We looked at historical whois data that shows the losing registrar in each of the stolen domain name cases. Here's the breakdown of the percentages (and where you probably should secure your account if you have domains registered there): Network Solutions is 40%, GoDaddy 33%, and eNom 7% โ so those three alone account for 80%, and Network Solutions plus GoDaddy together are 73%. After that it drops into a long tail: Domain(.com) ~4%, then Moniker, Namecheap, and 1&1 IONOS at ~2% each, and a scattering of single cases at ~1% We're not necessarily suggesting or recommending that you transfer your domain name to another registrar. Just secure your account. Also note that these are among the largest and oldest registrars, and Network Solutions in particular holds a big share of the premium legacy .com names that thieves target, so this reflects where the valuable domains live as much as where security is weakest. #domains

Tomodachi Life Updates (@TomoLifeUpdates) reported@Namecheap We'd appreciate it if your abuse team could take a look at tomodachilife[.]gg and tomoez[.]com (X has flagged both domains in posts already). We've received multiple reports from users who believed these sites were associated with an official web version/port of Nintendo's Tomodachi Life. The sites appear to be hosting a CAPTCHA scam disguised as an in-game Tomodachi Life menu, using Nintendo's branding and trademark in a way that may mislead users. A separate domain hosting the same scam, tomodachilife[.]cc, has already been taken down following reports. Could someone from your team review these domains and their operators or direct us to the appropriate reporting channel?

Snigdha Sur (@snigdhasur) reported@vivekteega @prbhtkumr @Namecheap Just so folks know their rights, a domain provider canโt shut down your domain globally without a proper court order, especially if youโre running a legitimate business. Thatโs why we won our TRO (temporary restraining order) to get it back

Akinsete Motunrayo (@Harkinsete) reportedI built my entire personal brand with AI and a clear process. Here is exactly what I built and how I did it, because you can do this too. What I Built โ Brand Strategy (mission, vision, values) โ Visual identity: colors, fonts, logo, brand guidelines โ A full pitch deck (12 slides) โ A speaker kit PDF โ A complete multi-page personal brand website โ A free lead magnet (a guide people can actually use) How I Built the Website Step 1: I planned before I touched anything I wrote down my brand colors, my fonts, my page structure, and what I wanted each page to do. Most people skip this. Everything breaks when you skip this. Step 2: I gave Claude one detailed prompt with my brand colors, fonts, pages, and copy. It returned a complete, mobile-responsive, multi-page website as a single HTML file. One file. Ready to deploy. The prompt I used: - "Build me a complete personal brand website as a single HTML file. Pages: Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Contact. Primary color [your hex], accent color [your hex], background [your hex]. Display font [font name], body font [font name]. Home page needs: dark hero with my name, photo on the right, tagline, and a CTA button. Services section. Impact numbers. Mobile responsive. No frameworks." Copy this, edit your details, and fine-tune as you want. Step 3: I pushed to GitHub: Free. This took me less than five minutes. Now every update I make is version-controlled and safe. Step 4: I deployed to Vercel for free. Connected my GitHub repo to Vercel and the site was live in under few minutes. This requires no hosting fees and nothing to manage. Step 5: I bought my domain on Namecheap - Searched for my full name and found the .com. Bought it for less than $12 for the year. Added it to Vercel. Updated the DNS settings on Namecheap. Waited 20 minutes. My website was live at my own domain. - Total cost: less than $12. - Total time to go live: under 2 hours. I am also working on a mobile app. A Progressive Web App, which means anyone can visit the URL on their phone and add it to their home screen like a real app. I may be running a live training in July where I will walk you through this entire process step by step to build your live website with a custom domain. If you have a phone and a laptop, you can do this. I documented everything the steps, the exact AI prompts, the domain checklist, the deploy instructions in a free PDF guide. Comment BRAND IDENTITY below and I will send it straight to your inbox. ๐พSAVE THIS POST. You will want to come back to it. ๐ SHARE IT with someone who keeps saying they need a website. The only thing standing between you and a professional online presence is the decision to start. Love and Light, Motunrayo ๐ค
