    Guys, I genuinely need help ๐Ÿ˜ญ I need to buy a domain. Is Namecheap really worth it? The renewal prices are kinda highโ€ฆ and Porkbun feels the same. Any better domain registrar with low renewal prices and overall cheaper costs? I'm broke ๐Ÿ’€

    millions of companies forget to renew their domain names every year. you can just buy the expired domain someone forgot about and get a premium on it. itโ€™s called drop catching. where to find them discovery + filtering: โ†’ expireddomains[.]net โ†’ domcop โ†’ freshdrop โ†’ moonsy auctions + catching: โ†’ godaddy auctions โ†’ namecheap expired auctions โ†’ dynadot closeouts โ†’ namejet / snapnames โ†’ dropcatch (1,200+ registrars, best catch rate on contested names) the process: domain expires โ†’ grace period โ†’ โ€œpending deleteโ€ โ†’ drops. once itโ€™s pending delete (usually ~5 days before the drop) you can place a backorder. if more than one person wants it, it goes to auction. most of these never get listed for sale. catch the ones with real value (traffic, backlinks, brandable names).

    Goodbye SquareSpace. Finally! I've hated having my wife's site on Squarespace. Some consultant set her up with it and I never had the patience to move it. On Sunday I told Claude Code to copy her site to a free @Cloudflare acount. Then I told Claude's Chrome plugin to figure out how to tell NameCheap where to point the domain. So satisfying.

    @Namecheap that security ticket is with bluehost, not you (thankfully). But 3.5hrs on chat to ID an IP is way too much. and that came after they reviewed the info I provided?? ๐Ÿคฏ I could easily rate this as the worse experience I had with your service!

    @Hexangelo5 You are right about that! Pulsechain,com is registered through there, as are lots of other pulsechain project websites. While Namecheap built its brand on privacy advocacy (e.g., fighting for customer data protection in courts), control now sits largely with a Luxembourg-based PE giant whose incentives are financial returns, not ideological privacy maximalism. The registrant data required by ICANN lives in a system where EU corporate oversight meets US legal demands. In an era of rising data breaches, surveillance, and regulatory flux, relying on any large registrar under PE ownership means trusting opaque boardroom decisions with your identity footprint. Diversifying to independent or privacy-first alternatives reduces single points of failure.

    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) Clerk = auth. (Free) Cloudflare = DNS. (Free) PostHog = analytics. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20 There has never been a cheaper time to build.

    Hey @Namecheap are we trying to outdo @bluehost as worse customer service?! It has been a month and a week since I opened a security issue ticket with them (and still no reply), but your livechat isn't doing any better atm.

    @Namecheap Two of my domains have been suspended due to a whois issue, and my email hasn't been responded to all day. I've lost access to my business email, and it's quite harrowing. [NC-QTU-9582]

    @Namecheap Fix your servers!!! 33% packet lost to 8.8.8.8 is unacceptable even for a server in Africa. Your tech support telling me to reboot and change hostname. They clueless. This is a serious production software. Fix your servers and educate your tech support!!!

  • TomoLifeUpdates
    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?

  • MattReinholz
    Matthias Reinholz (@MattReinholz) reported

    Interesting 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?
