    @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!

    @Namecheap has been here for years and till date still can't fix a simple SSL issuance. Older than ChatGPT. Agbaya.

    Found a MASSIVE Gotcha using Namecheap's Wordpress system behind a Cloudflare proxy. Editors can't login! Can't seem to fix!

    @melvynx Never had any issues with supabase, nor with namecheap. This is your typical "everything that has not been released in the last 6 months is trash" post. Embrace evolution over revolution.

    @adahstwt Cloudflare for price and DNS. Porkbun for the experience. Namecheap for bulk. GoDaddy for — actually, never GoDaddy.

    @DoppelHQ @Namecheap So there you go. Months and month of grinding 16 hours a day trying to build something, gone in a second because of AI halucinated and another AI accepted because it's coming from a big company. I'd appreaciate any help, i don't know @cobie ? Anyone...

    @austinginder That's a crazy one! I've seen a number of bad things on GoDaddy as well. Generally try to get clients to move to PorkBun or NameCheap... I'll even help them for free!

  • Web3_WizZ

    Let 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.

    So @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

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

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @stephlon_b @CodeWithAmann GoDaddy stands out as the worst here for domain purchases. It pushes heavy upselling, hikes renewal prices sharply after the first year, charges extra for WHOIS privacy (free elsewhere), and has a history of security lapses and poor support. Cloudflare wins for value—domains at true cost with top-tier security. Namecheap is budget-friendly for starters. Hostinger is reliable, especially bundled with hosting.

    I didn’t get paid for this. But @Namecheap customer service is one of the best I’ve experienced. Every time I ran into issues, they showed up immediately. That’s what people forget: Your value isn’t what you say. It’s what customers consistently experience.

  • thomaslknapp
    Thomas L. Knapp, aka KN@PPSTER (@thomaslknapp) reported

    @Namecheap It finally got fixed, thanks. But it seems like current "support" protocol is to IMMEDIATELY say "yeah, YOU should do a bunch of stuff, even though it's clearly a server problem, not a site problem, then maybe we'll fix it if you keep insisting." This is not the first time.

    Any Help? If you have purchased a domain name by using a DotWeekly affiliate link from GoDaddy or NameCheap, can you provide me the domain please via DM or email? I've sent 775 clicks to NameCheap in March, $0 revenue. I've sent 1,500 to GoDaddy and $39 revenue. Thank you!
