-
TungstenCarb (@TungstenCarb) reportedAfter 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.
-
DomainNames.vc (@sidehustleopps) reported@defi_oasis @katerleonid I would really love to connect - discuss. How many have Namecheap done this to? You can't host minimum bid, no reserve auctions and cancel the winning bid when the bid is met & you don't like the final bid price - then reauction the domain. NC is based in Arizona. @AZAGMayes

Aarón (@AaronCornellius) reported@mddanishyusuf @Cloudflare @Namecheap I use namecheap and have had some issues. Probably going to do this too and move to Cloudflare
-
Dave (@dpav0615) reported@Samaytwt Namecheap has stolen domains and has ****** over people. **** them. I moved all of my domains to CloudFlare.
-
zuby | Default Web Designer (@zubywebstudio) reportedTo get a domain now and hosting is not the problem until it's time for renewal I think Namecheap now has separate charge for their positive SSL renewal 💀
-
World Series of Ghosts (@WilliamTheIVth) reported@Namecheap down for everyone else? Can't login to my account, 502 error. #Namecheap
-
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.
-
Edgex (@SahilExec) reported@YashHustle_22 I stick with Namecheap - cheap, decent UI and solid 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.
-
Kevin Blackburn (@ccie62000) reportedWell, it appears someone bought my old domain that was unused there for a bit and is hosting an old clone of the site with all links going to a spam page. Here’s to hoping the @Namecheap abuse team can help. Never a dull moment 😒
-
Umut Sevinc (@memselon) reported@jackfriks @postbridge_ What service you used to get the domain, dont get it guyz, im using namecheap
-
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
-
Tejas (@stejas809) reported@Umesh__digital I use namecheap. Never used hostinger.
-
WICK (@lhilwick) reported@anupamrjp I'd probably stick with Namecheap. They've been reliable for me and the support is solid.

Matthew Belcher (@Trigun420) reported@Namecheap @JakawaEIWHunter Looks like it was taken down. Good work @namecheap
-
현빈 | Hyunbin (@hyunbinseo97) reportedI didn't like Squarespace Domains, but they - support TLD not supported by Cloudflare Registar - the transfer price Namecheap is calling is absurd I guess I will have to stay for these two domains.
-
Richard Ralph - Millionaire Journey (@Therichardralph) reportedAny recommendations for web hosting. I currently use a shared hosting plan with @Namecheap No major complaints, but I get occasional issues with my websites being flagged as spam by my ISP.

Novit Ekka (@novitekka) reported@Namecheap @Namecheap Is this the service we pay for?
-
Igor Luchenkov (@igorluchenkov) reported@solopribuilds Namecheap, never go daddy as it is more expensive
-
Vivek Teegalapally (@vivekteega) reported@prbhtkumr @Namecheap Why so? What are the issues?
-
Wiktor Poltorak (@wiktorpoltorak) reported@Samaytwt GoDaddy is the absolute worst. Jacked-up prices and terrible customer experience. For a while I thought GoDaddy’s higher prices get you a better experience overall but NO! Namecheap is a good deal and it has great customer EXP. Have been working with them for several yrs now.

A.Drew (@tataseboydej) reported@TheRuqayyah Log into your domain provider dashboard eg namecheap, godaddy. Then fix the dns records.

One&OnlyAarav (@WaterAarav) reportedClaude = coding. ($20/mo) Shypmenta = fully automates platforms below($6/yr) Supabase = backend. (Free) Vercel = deploying. (Free) Namecheap = domain.

Building has genuinely never been this affordable, and rarely this effortless either.
-
Shant (@ShantDotMe) reported@Namecheap for the love of God, please do train your support agents a bit better. It is NOT OK for your agent to tell users to use an IP address, without a valid SSL certificate, to login!!!
-
Joe Moore (@aafc795) reported@cybernaira I had HostGator (the one I mentioned earlier with the Blue and Yellow colors) and Namecheap 9 years ago, and HG's follow up is excellent. They sent me emails to make sure everything was in order and if I needed any help. The dumb thing is, I never did anything with the Website.

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 :)
-
Alex @Bickov (@bickov) reported@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.
