mediocre poster (@BopityBibity) reported@pcshipp you will want to transfer it to cloudflare anyhow for the cool stuff it has down the line (email routing is quite cool). don't even touch godaddy. namecheap iirc is cheaper upfront sometimes but renewal costs more

Nick (@maietta) reportedFound a MASSIVE Gotcha using Namecheap's Wordpress system behind a Cloudflare proxy. Editors can't login! Can't seem to fix!
-
Zayn Harris (@zayn_harris_dev) reportedIt hurts so much. 🥲 Sharing pitfalls encountered when using Cloudflare @CloudflareHelp domain services + Vercel @vercel wildcard domain configuration: If you have developed a SaaS service and configured a wildcard domain to Vercel's domain configuration, and you are using Cloudflare's domain services, you cannot configure the name server to Vercel. The solution is: if you are using a wildcard domain to provide product services, do not use Cloudflare. Be aware when migrating from other domain services such as namesilo, namecheap, etc., to Cloudflare. Because after migrating, you can only migrate out after 60 days.
-
Sulik (@always_bulish) reported@Namecheap @DoppelHQ @cobie How can you just suspend domain without any warning or asking for explanation? Because you definitely do not have any proof of phishing, that’s for sure. Its an external bloody link tracked with my domain’s short URL. Have you even clicked on a link? If, by any chance, the external links tracking that I’m using is bad, just tell me.
-
Moritz Wallawitsch (@MoritzW42) reportedevery dev tool NEEDS a cli! I never want to click around in some ui if i can tell claude code to use a cli. i'm considering switching from namecheap and loops bc of this
-
Michael Adegoke (@michael_goke) reported@MilaChervenkova @Namecheap Thanks, you stopped using Namecheap's hosting. I was considering them I see you had some complaints about their service
-
AtharSense (@AtharSenseCom) reported@YashHustle_22 I used some, but the worst is GoDuddy.. Namecheap also raised the prices so high suddenly. I won't use both in the future. Now I use AWS
-
Resolver Vicky | Dev 🔧 (@resolvervicky) reportedCloudflare Registrar sells domains at cost and they make zero profit on domain registration. It's a loss leader to get you on their platform. That's why the renewal price never spikes. Namecheap's first-year discount is a customer acquisition trick; the real price is the renewal. Agree?
-
Elliot Silver (@DInvesting) reported@Namecheap I sent an email to support already and chatting with a live agent on your website.
-
WebDeveloperMentor (@MentorWebDev) reportedWeb developers must know these👇 Full-stack hosting - Sevalla (Docker support + Nixpacks) CDN + Bot protection - Fastly Domain registration - Namecheap Transactional emails - Postmark Auth – Auth0 Error tracking - Rollbar Uptime monitoring - Pingdom Payments - PayPal, Square CI/CD – GitLab CI Search – Typesense, Elastic App Search Worth bookmarking 🔖

CHIHEB Nabil (@NabilChiheb) reported@impossible_moka @hridoyreh @Namecheap thanks they never mailed be about this but seems same services maybe with better UI lol
-
LAZY YUT3 || Defi Scope (@MylesWRLD) reported.@Namecheap I think it's very funny how you guys have scammed me twice with two different accounts, and then making verification so difficult that almost every document I've submitted was not accepted. No problems though. My mistake for ever trying to work with you guys. This is very ****** service and I'll never patronize you any more.

mscode07 (@mscode07) reported@omarvvvr I never tried namecheap
-
Enjoyment Minister(SHINIGAMI🎮👩🚒) (@enjoymentmin) reported@dev_olayinka Im sure you had other cheaper options from the start. You know why you chose Namecheap. I will never use any other hosting server other than namecheap my bro.
-
Shawn (@shawn_dot_so) reported@elgermerlo @GoDaddy @Cloudflare GoDaddy isn’t even a consideration for me.. it’s Cloudflare first place or namecheap for TLDs that Cloudflare doesn’t support yet

Sebastian Hulme (@sebbhulme) reportedYou need more domains than you think and you need to buy them smarter than you probably are. Grab them from Porkbun or Namecheap. Spaceship is my favourite. Never from your email provider directly because the markup is criminal. Buy variations of your main domain with prefixes and suffixes. If your company is called Acme then you want getacme, acmehq, tryacme, acmegroup Dot com is ideal but dot co and dot info work fine too. Figure out how many emails you want to send per day Divide by 30 for Google inboxes Then divide by three And that tells you how many domains you need. Sending 3,000 a day means you need 100 inboxes across maybe 30 to 35 domains and that sounds like a lot until you realise domains cost about 10 quid each for a year. People try to run big volume off 3 domains and then wonder why their sender reputation is in the bin by week two.

Factually (@go_get_fact) reported@receipts_lol Awful. What grounds did Namecheap seize your domain on?

🛸 一人公司 æᵃᵍᵉⁿᵗⁱᶜ|ᵉⁿᵍⁱⁿᵉᵉʳⁱⁿᵍ^ˢᵒᶠᵗʷᵃʳᵉ 🌌 (@yaelmendez) reported@Namecheap I’ve been a customer for several years now. Need some developer relations support if you have it.
-
The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@Namecheap So, you are not going to take action against the domain simply because it removed the subdomain? The root domain is the threat, and it continues to create subdomains with this content. This is not an isolated issue.
-
Steve Bailey (@stevebaileyseo) reportedThe most powerful thing a platform can do is make you feel like you don't need your guard up. Namecheap does that. Not by promising the world. By just... not being awful.

Mr. preacher (@Leavemealo86) reportedI pity anyone that plans to use @Namecheap your website won’t last in their hands They’ll say it’s “scam “ then take it down
