  Claude = coding. ($20/mo) Shypmenta = fully automates all platforms below($6/yr) 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) Sentry = error tracking. (Free) Upstash = Redis. (Free) Pinecone = vector DB. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20. Building has genuinely never been this affordable, and rarely this effortless either.

  @Nueltek a few minor inaccuracies here. > low-traffic websites the hypernova VPS subscription on Namecheap accomodates up to 10TB in bandwidth. that's more than enough for most traffic loads. > if the VPS goes down it's still more reliable than shared hosting > if one website gets compromised, the entire server could be at risk true. only if the exploit gets a hold of 'root' > 1 site experiences a major traffic spike cloudflare to the rescue > single point of failure? cloudflare to the rescue hehe.

  @milanm_ @levelsio @Cloudflare To add here, since CFs offices are in France, they overcomply with every bs EU request, even if you host a service that is US only. They won't do that for the content part, so namecheap registar + CF dns + CF CDN is actually best of both worlds combo.

  Unverified conspiracy theory: GoDaddy holds all these inactive domains through a shell company so they can charge finders fees and commission to “find” the owner of the domain, themselves Namecheap would never stoop to such loser levels

  i remember the first time I bought domain on NameCheap the first thing I did in 10 minutes - transferred domain to CloudFlare luckily to me it was .com - so no issues with that

  @adahstwt I think namecheap is best but their renewal cost is not same that is the issue

  Wiz (@wizminar) reported 21 minutes ago

  @kalashvasaniya totally agreed, one crucial advice i can give is to keep domain and hosting service different. Will ideally prefer about it can look namecheap or porkbun for domain and netlify or hostinger for hoosting rest please do your own research

  @Namecheap Glad it's sorted ....imagine I spent 15 odd minutes figuring out what's wrong with my sites, never occurred to me it could be the host aswell - 😶

  I 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 ✅ Brand Strategy (mission, vision, values) ✅ Visual identity: colors, fonts, logo, brand guidelines ✅ A full pitch deck (12 slides) ✅ A speaker kit PDF ✅ A complete multi-page personal brand website ✅ 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. 💾SAVE THIS POST. You will want to come back to it. 🔁 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 🤍

  @TTrimoreau Cloudflare Registrar if your TLD is supported — 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 — they charge 3x and count on you not noticing at renewal.

  @Namecheap Furthermore, I will explode that you’ve never invested anything and immediately replied that claims are unfounded when clearly they are not. You don’t want me to expose you and your bullshit customer service.😡😡

  @Namecheap Never once have you reached out to me properly to verify my claims you know how to find my contact information. I’ve already told you where it is not affiliated with that garbage. Please reach out and rectify the problem. I don’t want to call the police department again😡😡😡

  @Namecheap Warning to all website owners and businesses: Based on our experience, we strongly advise exercising caution before dealing with this hosting provider. We encountered significant difficulties related to account management, communication, and obtaining support regarding our hosting services. Our experience raised serious concerns about the company's practice of relying on third-party agents to manage hosting accounts, which may leave customers vulnerable to disputes, service interruptions, delays in account transfers, or unexpected financial demands. We encourage all customers to carefully review ownership rights, account access credentials, service agreements, and transfer procedures before purchasing hosting services through any intermediary or agent. We have documented our experience and reserve the right to pursue the matter through the appropriate regulatory and legal channels.

  @the_smart_ape Tbh I have nothing to do with it. There are no clear alternatives for gmail. Every other email registrar could fall as well so no point into thinking that switching from google is gonna save you for sure. Namecheap can go down, microsoft as well and every other ******* email registrar.

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

  @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.

  What tools do I need to start? You usually need a domain, hosting, professional website, clear service pages, founder profile, testimonials, analytics, business email, payment route, content plan, and strong WhatsApp or contact funnel. Tools like Namecheap, DreamHost, Hostinger, Geegpay, ClickMeeting, and CartFlows can support the system when used with a clear strategy.

  FYI I won't be able to talk on Matrix for a while, because namecheap seems to be down and doesn't want to update their DNS with my new ip address... I guess I will need to make a server on discord after all
