Nas (@Nas_tech_AI) reportedYou can’t believe this: you spent more on coffee this month than on a startup’s infrastructure. If you’re still waiting for the “right moment” to build, this is it. The cost of entry has never been lower. - 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) - Sentry = error tracking (free) - Upstash = Redis (free) - Pinecone = vector DB (free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$21 There has never been a cheaper time to build.

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.

Lg Shurley (@SurelyLg) reported@Namecheap #namecheap lost 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

Sahil Jaiswal (@Sahil_Jaiswal02) reportedGodaddy is a **** I should have gone with hostinger or namecheap My site is down after 2 days of getting it …even after successfull verification 😤 No support, no person available… poor service @GoDaddy
-
Daniel Scheffler (@schvffler) reported@Anas_founder @manas_builds yeah was the same for me. tried to transfer a .de domain to namecheap once and it didn't work. Namecheap support told me that I should use their new platform which is Spaceship. looks much more modern and stuff
-
Julian Engel (@julianengel) reported@scheemunai @spaceship @Dynadot Pricing is the biggest factor (spaceship is owned by namecheap - but pricing is much better), better UX and both of these support MCP and API access so they are agent friendly :)
-
Luca Capone | Vibe Coder (@LucaCaponeX) reported@buildwithmaya @Namecheap Namecheap funded a whole graveyard of my half-built ideas. Buying the domain takes 5 minutes. Shipping the actual thing is where I disappear for 3 months. The domain was never the hard part.
-
Mykhailo Sorochuk (@sir4K_zen) reported@omarvvvr i go with Namecheap – straightforward UI, decent renewal rates and reliable support
-
Carla Alvarez - Raised to Walk (@RaisedtoWalk) reported@YouTube @Restreamio @Namecheap One of the other things snaking MCN owners can do is enforced "content standardization" on videos in their network ... even if they HIJACKED the channel into it and even if the video is uploaded to another account. Which they have obviously done on this video
-
DaNikePlug (@DaNikePlugs) reported@novitekka @Namecheap same issue
-
Atta 🐬 (@attacomsian) reported@codewith55 Namecheap for buying. i spent years in the domain world, GoDaddy works but the upsells never stop.
-
Mila Chervenkova 🍩 (@MilaChervenkova) reported@_maxantonov @GoDaddy @Cloudflare I use NameCheap and I am super happy with their support.
-
Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported@Namecheap Oh FFS so it's caused by Right Clicking to Copy the password. If you just double click & "ctrl c" it does not add "Refresh" to the pasted text. I have never ever encountered this bloody nonsense before & so not understand why any developer would think this is acceptable.
-
Willem van Zoeren (@currentbitsNET) reported@jacobAlswin Namecheap for me. Cheap, good support
-
Luke(LABurn) (@LogNRoll) reported@ChrisStayte Namecheap has never done me wrong
-
Fernando (@unfernaonx) reported@larsbuilds What’s that service? Looks good. I use namecheap and sometimes it feels like 2014 cPanel

-
AI SaaS Launchpad (@AISaaSLaunchpad) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC (.de registry) handles transfers differently than gTLDs—it requires real-time authcode validation via a direct registry connection, which Namecheap's backend integration doesn't support for inbound moves. The workaround is transferring to a registry with direct DENIC support (like Porkbun or Hetzner) and pointing DNS to Namecheap.
-
Lg Shurley (@SurelyLg) reportedBe careful with @Namecheap. They have poor customer service and extremely strict refund policies. Even when they make an error, they’ll fight you on giving a refund and try to lowball you with a tiny credit. Just a heads up. #namecheap
-
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
