    @justbyte_ Namecheap for the cheap first year, then transfer to Cloudflare. Cloudflare is at-cost with no markup, so renewals never jump, about $10.44 for a .com forever instead of ballooning year two. Only catch is you have to use their nameservers.

    @AlfinCodes Namecheap altho I had a bad experience with them and it took time to get resolved. Cloudfare is a better option.

    This indie dev built a 100% free URL shortener โ€” and it reportedly makes $1,000/month. Bitly and TinyURL now charge $29/month just for custom slugs and basic click tracking. He saw the gap and built shorlnk. Free for everything most people need: custom aliases, click stats, QR codes. Paid only for team features, higher API limits, custom domains. Hereโ€™s the exact model: โ€ข Free: unlimited short links, custom slugs, basic analytics โ€ข Pro ($9/mo): more API calls, advanced stats, priority support โ€ข Team ($29/mo): collaboration, custom domain, dedicated support He open-sourced the revenue number on IndieHackers (his claim, not verified). Tech stack: React + Tailwind, Node.js + Express, PostgreSQL, Vercel + AWS, Namecheap. Built in ~3 weeks. Challenges: โ€” Crowded market: he won users by shouting โ€œ100% freeโ€ on Product Hunt and Hacker News. โ€” Server costs from free users: throttled API to 100 req/min. โ€” Abuse risk: built a review system to block phishing links. Is it for you? If you can code, yes. If not, no. $1,000/month sounds nice, but after server costs itโ€™s more like $700โ€“800. And itโ€™s his reported number โ€” not guaranteed. Bottom line: find a niche where big players are greedy, offer the basics for free, and charge for power features. It works, but itโ€™s a grind โ€” not a get-rich-quick play. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #IndieHackers #SideProject

    it costs about $21/month to run what could become a multi-million dollar startup โ€ข human brain = reasoning (free) โ€ข claude = coding ($20/mo) โ€ข supabase = backend (free) โ€ข vercel = deployment (free) โ€ข namecheap = domain ($12/yr) โ€ข stripe = payments (2.9%/trx) โ€ข github = versioning (free) โ€ข resend = email (free) โ€ข clerk = auth (free) โ€ข cloudflare = DNS (free) โ€ข posthog = analytics (free) โ€ข sentry = error tracking (free) โ€ข upstash = redis (free) โ€ข pinecone = vector DB (free) everything sums up to roughly $20 to $25 per month so, the tools are not the barrier anymore. most ideas donโ€™t fail because theyโ€™re expensive to build. they fail because they never get built at all. whatโ€™s stopping you?

    @Namecheap I just wanted to let you guys know that Iโ€™ve contacted my local law-enforcement to stop some websites that youโ€™re hosting from scamming any further. Iโ€™ve asked repeatedly fake the domain down and you refuse now Iโ€™m pursuing legal action.๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก

    @tomilola_ng @timithechef Iโ€™ve used hostinger way back in 19/20, Dreamhost VPS 22/23. I stuck with namecheap for their customer support. Itโ€™s the best & cheapest.

    @namecheapceo123 I used Namebase (owned by @Namecheap) to manage my funds. Three months ago, you sold the platform without notifying your clients. Since Namecheap sold the platform, I have lost access to my funds, and this issue has now been ongoing for more than three months.

    @ChrisProd_ @Echotheglitch8 What Glitch is probably doing right now is probably consulting with the Registrar (NiceNIC, which they also don't use. Glitch uses Tucows, Namecheap, and GoDaddy) to get the domain taken down. Or, they might not be doing anything. Who knows.

  • kekkodamato_
    Kekko Dโ€™Amato (@kekkodamato_) reported

    @TTrimoreau Cloudflare Registrar if your TLD is supported โ€” at-cost pricing (literally no markup), best DNS control, DNSSEC built in, zero upsells. Namecheap otherwise. Free WhoisGuard, clean UI, rarely issues. GoDaddy is a trap โ€” they charge 3x and count on you not noticing at renewal.

  • TungstenCarb
    TungstenCarb (@TungstenCarb) reported

    After using @Namecheap's service for well over a decade, they've decided to raise my rates. I'm pretty disappointed. Are there any other good hosting providers that are low cost? I've already tried GoDaddy and their service was trash.

  • insigdev
    Insignificant Developer (@insigdev) reported

    @tomilola_ng Namecheap sucks though ๐Ÿ˜ญ Namecheap VPS is just Hostinger in a different coat. Low initial cost, ridiculous renewal prices as well, and a predatory domain expiration pipeline that funnels your forgotten domains straight to their marketplace auctions.

    This is the issue. i hope i don't sound entitled. On @Namecheap I had a domain that was expiring in a day, and stellar hosting had already expired. so i added domain renewal and hosting renewal yearly subscription, plus helping services to my cart and paid 45 USD thread..
