  @melvynx ok but why? I use Namecheap for +10 domains, never had an issue. So who cares ?

  i bought 2 domains from godaddy 4 from spaceship 2 from netim 1 from namecheap but spaceship pricing and service won my heart (no promotion)

  @Karakehayov @afternic They should commit if they’re truly building the future of tech identity, just as Dynadot has, with Namecheap and Spaceship close behind. I support .si with the same conviction I had when I first supported .ai in 2018.

  I never had a domain registrar who was easy to work with. They always upsell things, bloat you with all kind of **** you don't ever need, while the basic things don't work. Just now, Namecheap - I can not see the host value without entering edit mode. If I enter edit mode to see it, I can not cancel, I only have save or delete options. Horrible interface. And, even better, the page froze browser tab a few times, I had to kill the page and reopen. Is it really that hard?

  @melvynx Please don't use neon and namecheap is not slow. That's a total lie

  HOLM.ETH (@MVNSONxxx) reported 14 minutes ago

  @CryptoNoApes @NamebaseHQ I think Namebase has been as transparent as they can be. Once funds are returned, NB would likely reopen. At this point, it’s on Namecheap to address the user fund issues

  @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 Please remove the requirement to whitelist an IP address in order to use your API service. Thank you.

  @Legundo Do you mean self hosting the emails, or having an email address at a domain you own? The former I can't help with, the latter your domain registrar should offer email aliasing for free—I have domains at namecheap & namesilo and both offer this so I'd be shocked if yours doesnt

  @AlfinCodes I mostly use namecheap as it provides renewal domains at cheaper rates, but go daddy offer 24/7 phone +chat support.

  Buciyo (@TheBuciyo) reported 22 minutes ago

  @md_kasif_uddin Namecheap, no contest. Transparent pricing, no renewal tricks, a clean dashboard, and the free WhoisGuard privacy alone is worth it. I've used others and always come back. Avoid GoDaddy — the upsells never end.

  @rozzabuilds I'm switching to Cloudflare from Namecheap for domains where I don't need custom domain email support

  @YashHustle_22 I've had great experience with Namecheap after moving from GoDaddy who ripped me off for years no matter how many times I caught them and told them lol. Bluehost isn't bad either, but namecheap made email easy as well if needed. 5min setup for all.

  Good question. The domain system is one of the most overlooked money machines on the internet. Here is how it actually works. At the top of the entire system sits ICANN. Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. It is a non-profit organisation that controls the master list of every domain extension that exists. The .com, .net, .org, the country codes like .in and .uk, all of it. ICANN does not sell domains directly. It approves and licenses registries. Registries are the companies that actually manage specific extensions. Verisign manages .com and .net. They maintain the master database of every .com domain ever registered. Verisign charges registrars a wholesale fee of around $8 to $9 per .com domain per year. This cost is essentially fixed regardless of how many domains exist. Creating a new domain entry in a database costs fractions of a cent. Registrars are the companies you actually buy from. GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains. They pay the registry the wholesale rate and sell to you at a markup. That markup is the registrar's business. So the cost breakdown for a .com domain looks like this: ICANN takes a small fee per registration, currently around $0.18 per domain per year. Verisign takes around $8 to $9 as the registry. The registrar adds their margin on top and sells it to you for anywhere from $10 to $15 at standard price. The actual infrastructure cost of creating and maintaining a domain entry in a database is almost zero at scale. The fees are for the system, the monopoly, and the maintenance of the global DNS infrastructure that makes the internet work. Here is the part most people miss. .com is a monopoly. Only Verisign can issue .com domains. They negotiated a contract with ICANN that essentially locks them in as the .com registry indefinitely. They process over 170 million .com domains. At $8 per domain per year that is over a billion dollars annually for maintaining a database. The domain you pay $12 for cost about 18 cents to actually create. The rest is the price of the address system that makes the entire internet navigable.

  @Namecheap are you having issues with Custom DNS? everytime I add nameservers, and hit the save button, I get "OOOPS! Something went wrong, please try again." What is going on with that?

  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.
