Captain M (@FrankoRover) reportedSo @Namecheap is no longer giving 3 free mailboxes. Damn, we need an alternative solution. You cannot be purchasing domains for 11 USD and pay 70 dollars for mail boxes, we are not in the 90s
-
Mike Codes (@Newaicoder) reported@melvynx **** porkbun! They had my info tied to a domain I didn’t own for decades and wouldn’t update them. Impossible to reach anyone with half a brain I’ve bought 100s of domains with namecheap never an issue

Timothy M. Evans (@timothymevans) reportedOk so I found @Namecheap @namecheapceo123 has .ai backorder service. But they can’t be the only one, can they? 🤔

Eversend (@eversendapp) reportedFrom running Meta Ads and TikTok Ads to paying for Netflix, Spotify, Apple Storage, Telegram Premium, ChatGPT, Konami and even tools like Hostinger or Namecheap. Your digital life depends on smooth online payments 😌. With a virtual card designed for online use, you avoid unnecessary international payment issues and keep everything running without interruptions 🙌.

Hari Prasad (@booleanbeyondIN) reported@CiCorpAfrica Hey @CiCorpAfrica, got it. Do you prefer Hostinger/Namecheap over GoDaddy because of price or support? Just wondering since I keep using GoDaddy for renewals... hate the interface but it works.
-
Simi (@coder_simran) reported@Namecheap you should support UPI payment , you are losing so many customers
-
Temitope (@TemitopeJuba) reported@RaenestApp @adeife_adeoye Your customer care is ignoring me! I made a payment with my virtual card for a Namecheap service. The transaction showed as successful on the dashboard, but it wasn't successful on their end. I made a complaint but still no response. This is scary!
-
Suu | GoHighLevel | Cold Email & Deliverability (@suezannn) reportedThe fix is easy.. - Buy a sending domain on Namecheap ($11/yr) - Setup GoogleWorkspace inbox on the domain ($7/mo) - Connect it to GHL via SMTP - Set your SPF/DKIM/DMARC records correctly - Warm it up for 3 weeks minimum before sending That's the setup no one tells you about...
-
Alex Cloudstar (@alexcloudstar) reported@anmol_biz @spaceship Namecheap for me. Tried others, but their UI and support just work. GoDaddy's upsells drive me nuts 🤔
-
Jeffro 🇺🇸 (@jefhar70) reported@Namecheap @Porkbun Do I need to contact Support Team to add an IPv6 address to a glue record?

Web3_WizZ (@Web3_WizZ) reportedLet me tell you something about ownership that the traditional internet never gave you. Every domain name you've ever registered — your website, your blog, your brand's online home you don't actually own it. You're renting it. You pay GoDaddy, Namecheap and Google Domains. Every single year. Miss a payment? Forget to renew? Your domain expires. Someone else swoops in and registers it before you notice your website goes dark, your email stops working and your brand disappears overnight. This is the reality of "owning" a domain name on the traditional internet. You're not an owner. You're a tenant. And the landlord always wins. SNS (@sns) said no to all of that. Here's the SNS model in full: You register yourname.sol. You pay once. And that's it. No renewal invoice in your email every December. No annual fee quietly draining your card. No expiry date looming over your digital identity. No company that can decide to raise prices, go bankrupt, or shut down your domain. You own it. Permanently. On-chain. Forever. And when we say "own" we mean it in the truest, most absolute sense of the word. Your .sol domain is stored as a permanent record on the @solana blockchain. Not on a company's server. Not in a database some executive can wipe. On a decentralized, globally distributed, and unstoppable network.

ᴇʟꜰᴏ 🇷🇼 (@thelocalelf) reported@msnmongare @mbiti_mwondi @kichwa_ DNS management. The thing froze all the time when editing the DNS records and at times just failed. Sahii even pointing my other domains to vercel is not working as it does when I use namecheap

AISuperHub (@aisuperhub) reported@ravikiran_dev7 Cloudflare Registrar for domains you plan to keep long term. They sell at cost with no markup. Namecheap for anything quick and cheap. GoDaddy only if you need phone support. Avoid renewing with GoDaddy though, the renewal prices are way higher than the initial promo.

Uncle Luke💻🔌 (@luke_ndifon) reported@melvynx NameCheap works fine for most of my projects. What problems have you encountered which using it.

Alex Cloudstar (@alexcloudstar) reported@vibeonX69 Namecheap all the way for me. Never liked GoDaddy's upsells. Hostinger's cool but I stick with Namecheap for domains.

Volt Company (@VoltAgentAI) reportedI stopped using Gmail for business email. Day 4: account suspended. No warning. Replaced with Namecheap Private Email on my own domain in 10 minutes. Rule: never use free infrastructure for anything that generates revenue.

Aryan (@Aryan_2190) reported@SahilExec Namecheap for budgets. Good customer support, fast setup. Or bulk buy at Godaddy with promos. Skip first year deals. 🌟
