  @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😡😡😡

  @adahstwt I’ve been using Namecheap for a while now, generally good integrations with other apps which make it easy to use. Pork bun is pretty decent too Will never understand why godaddy is called godaddy lol Squarespace in my experience is the most annoying to deal with for domain management tbh

  Hey @Wix , transferred my domain from @namecheap. The domain already shows the default Wix page, but my Wix dashboard is still stuck on “Transfer in Progress.” I’ve emailed support but haven’t received a response. Please help.

  I’ve usually had very good experiences with @Namecheap and their customer service but today I have been on with a live agent for more than 30 mins and they can’t resolve my issue after wasting my time they are now transferring me to a different department. SMH

  For the first time in 10 years, I moved the .io domain out of Namecheap to save $25 on renewal lol; never thought of moving any of the 2k+ domains I've managed with Namecheap for years. 3x the price is unjustifiable. Could potentially save up to $10k a year by moving every single one to Cloudflare on renewal. But that’s a very big headache doing one by one, so i’ll pass for now!

  1 prompt. Claude builds a $2,000/week website from scratch. Here’s the exact system, step by step. Most people build sites the wrong way. They hire a developer for $3,000–8,000. Wait 3–6 weeks. Get something generic. Then pay another $500/month to maintain it. The new way: 1 prompt. 45 minutes. Launch-ready. WHAT YOU’RE BUILDING A niche service landing page conversion-optimized, Stripe-integrated, SEO-structured that targets a local or vertical market with $200–500 average order value. Target: $2,000/week minimum by week 4. THE PROMPT ARCHITECTURE Your 1 prompt has 4 layers: → Layer 1 Business context “I’m building a [niche] service site targeting [city/audience]. Average order: $[X]. Primary CTA: book a call / buy now.” → Layer 2 Stack spec “Build in HTML/CSS/JS, Stripe Checkout embedded, Calendly widget for booking, Google Analytics 4 ready.” → Layer 3 Content skeleton “Homepage: hero with pain point + 3 benefits + social proof section + FAQ + CTA. No blog. No filler.” → Layer 4 Conversion rules “Above the fold: 1 headline, 1 subheadline, 1 button. No nav clutter. Mobile-first. Load under 2 seconds.” Paste all 4 layers into Claude as 1 message. Hit send. WHAT CLAUDE DELIVERS IN 45 MINUTES → Full HTML file, production-ready → Stripe Checkout flow embedded → Mobile layout done → Meta tags + OG data for social sharing → Contact form wired to Formspree (free tier) You copy the output. Drop into Netlify or Vercel. Live in 8 minutes. Domain: $12/year on Namecheap. Hosting: $0. Total launch cost: $12. REALISTIC REVENUE PROGRESSION Week 1 Site live. Run $50 in Meta ads to local audience. 3 conversions at $150 = $450. Week 2 Add Google Business Profile. 2 organic calls. 1 closes. $200. Week 3 Raise price 20%. Run retargeting on the 60 visitors who didn’t convert. $600. Week 4 Email the 3 week-1 buyers. Ask for referrals. 2 referrals at $250 = $500 + repeat. Total week: $2,100+. The site didn’t change. The traffic system compounded.

  @GoDaddyHelp I’m canceling everything and moving to namecheap unless you solve my email problems for no extra cost. I am a 20+ year customer and you are treating me like dog ****.

  After 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.

  4L.com (@4Ldotcom) reported 39 minutes ago

  Note: The domain was using Afternic nameservers and showed the Afternic landing page, so the lead did not come from the domain landing page. The sale was completed through Spaceship, which means the buyer likely came from the Spaceship or Namecheap network/marketplace.

  @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.

  @Namecheap Almost a day 'fighting' with your tech team about port 80 blocked (VPS). Proof: fresh installs, external tests, logs — packets time out externally on :80 while :8080 works! Your team just points back at me. Can someone from your network/infra team really look at this?

  @MustaAras I think it comes down to normie's perceptions of Namecheap/Spaceship registrars vs GoDaddy. Very much IMHO.

  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 🤍

  If you want to build a startup that actually has users: Claude = coding. (more like $100+) Supabase = backend. ($25-599/mo once you cross free tier) Vercel = deploying. ($20-150+/mo once you get real traffic) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr, ok this one's real) Stripe = payments. (2.9% + 30¢/transaction) GitHub = version control. (free) Resend = emails. (free until 3k emails, then $20/mo+) Clerk = auth. (free until 10k MAU, then $25/mo+) Cloudflare = DNS. (free, genuinely) PostHog = analytics. (free until you cross the free tier) Sentry = error tracking. (free until errors pile up) Upstash = Redis. (free until real traffic) Pinecone = vector DB. ($70/mo minimum) Total monthly cost to run a startup with actual users: $300-1000+ "$21/mo" is the cost to run a demo nobody uses.

  This indie dev built a 100% free URL shortener — and it reportedly makes $1,000/month. Bitly and TinyURL now charge $29/month just for custom slugs and basic click tracking. He saw the gap and built shorlnk. Free for everything most people need: custom aliases, click stats, QR codes. Paid only for team features, higher API limits, custom domains. Here’s the exact model: • Free: unlimited short links, custom slugs, basic analytics • Pro ($9/mo): more API calls, advanced stats, priority support • Team ($29/mo): collaboration, custom domain, dedicated support He open-sourced the revenue number on IndieHackers (his claim, not verified). Tech stack: React + Tailwind, Node.js + Express, PostgreSQL, Vercel + AWS, Namecheap. Built in ~3 weeks. Challenges: — Crowded market: he won users by shouting “100% free” on Product Hunt and Hacker News. — Server costs from free users: throttled API to 100 req/min. — Abuse risk: built a review system to block phishing links. Is it for you? If you can code, yes. If not, no. $1,000/month sounds nice, but after server costs it’s more like $700–800. And it’s his reported number — not guaranteed. Bottom line: find a niche where big players are greedy, offer the basics for free, and charge for power features. It works, but it’s a grind — not a get-rich-quick play.

  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
