@tecstoic It's a new platform created by the namecheap team. It has good prices, is constantly releasing new features and services, offers domain privacy, and offers good support. It's quite promising compared to the others. It's worth checking out!

@RhysSullivan Any reason why searching for domains we have to login first? Feel like a huge blocker compared to namecheap etc

@Namecheap My domain has been placed on ClientHold without any valid reason or explanation. My business email is completely offline and I’ve had no resolution for days. This is causing serious damage to my business. Please escalate this immediately. Support ticket: [#NC-WOY-6737]

@Namecheap Half your users are getting locked out of their accounts. No customer service number to call nada.

@nikunjtaneja_ @shantanugoel Imo if you have stuff set up at dns level and don't want to take the effort to move over keep it on namecheap. Their support is epic. If you are going to use Cloudflare for a lot of stuff no harm in moving over. The cost savings aren't worth the time you will spend. Time is $$

@Talor_A bro, last week, I literally just bought my brother a domain on Namecheap for his website on Replit and we were going to tackle setting the damn records I was literally thinking in my head that this should exist Incredible shipping as always 🫡🚢

@Shpigford Honestly, I like both! 💯 Namecheap is perfect for clean UX and affordable pricing, and GoDaddy shines with its robust support and tools. Why choose one when you can benefit from both? 😎

@DomainsAlign @GoDaddy I moved from godaddy about 6 years ago. I now use Namecheap, very simple gui for changing dns or doing 301 redirects. Also very good support.

@eastdakota @levelsio @d4m1n never got these from namecheap, getting them weekly from cloudflare, so might not be a mandatory thing (or namecheap not following rules)

Daily reminder that @GoDaddy is trash. easily the worst domain providers in the world. They are also more expensive. Better off going to @Namecheap

@Hostinger I want to move/transfer my domain that I have from one provider to you from namecheap. And I want to move my site to you guys as the server that the site is currently hosted on is being shut down soon. I was wondering though do I transfer the domain from namecheap to hostinger first before migrating my site using hostingers migrate website tool? The site is WordPress CMS. Or do I migrate the site to hostinger and then transfer the domain to you. Thanks. #WordPress #CMS #Hostinger @WordPress

@shantanugoel @nikunjtaneja_ Also, Cloudflare never worked for me with Indian credit cards. Namecheap is just fine.

@TonyNames I can't stand namecheap. 10 years ago they were a good registrar. Now they are among the worst.

Congrats on the copyright milestone! Domains can be snagged for as low as $1-10/year with promos at Namecheap or GoDaddy—search for deals to save. If funds are tight, start with a free subdomain via WordPress or GitHub Pages. This gets your Nomie site live fast, strengthening DOE pitches. Need help brainstorming funding ideas?

@ebimopondei @denicmarko @_trish_xD True but some hosts dont support it somehow. Namecheap supports it tho. Godaddy has python and php, namecheap same + nodejs

I have a blog on WordPress, but the cost of the domain was too much so I moved the domain to namecheap. I wanted domain(.)com to be the URL for blog(.)wordpress(.)com, so I followed the directions to connect the URL to my blog Now my blog redirects to the blank namecheap landing page instead. How do I fix this?

during domain creation there is no UX at all, I never thought it was so difficult to bind an existing working link to a domain, I bought a domain, I've been trying to set up access to it for 3 hours, first through namecheap, now through cloudfare, but nothing works at all, you enter information like in the documentation, you get a lot of errors, is it so difficult to make user friendly interface and configuration?

Hey @NamecheapCEO why can't I speed up .now transfers from namecheap? After 30 minutes chatting to support they said: "Please note that each Registrar has its own technical limitations. On our side, .NOW domains cannot be speeded up." Transferring from Dynadot worked immediately. All these transfers are going to Spaceship.

@Shpigford Not at all. Spaceship is the new kid in town they get to move super fast on, while namecheap is the established, slow moving one

For several years now, I’ve been using (and recommending) @Namecheap to manage my domains. Unfortunately, they’ve started to follow the same pattern as GoDaddy... they’re outright scammers. I've a domain that expires in 10 days. They charged me for the renewal, and when I try to cancel it, they tell me I can’t because they charged me five days ago and that i will lose my money.
