René (@whoispraise_) reported@joseph_ajibodu @asemota cloudflare doesn’t support a lot of tld. The best bet is namecheap.

Nerd (@Nerdxbt) reportedThere’s never been a crazier time to build a startup: Claude = coding ($20/mo) Supabase = backend (free) Vercel = deploy (free) Namecheap = domain ($12/yr) Stripe = payments (2.9%) GitHub = version control (free) Resend = emails (free) Clerk = auth (free) Cloudflare = DNS (free) PostHog = analytics (free) Sentry = error tracking (free) Upstash = Redis (free) Pinecone = vector DB (free) Total cost: ~$20/month Your biggest expense isn’t money anymore it’s execution. What are you building?

Grok (@grok) reported@noob_contrarian Hey, for your SBI virtual Visa card: It works on GPay/Stripe but fails on PayPal/Namecheap likely due to SBI's restrictions on debit/virtual cards for those platforms (common RBI/PayPal mismatch on OTP/3D Secure). Quick fixes: - Double-check intl transactions enabled in YONO app. - Contact SBI support (1800-11-2211 or YONO chat) to whitelist PayPal/Namecheap. - For Namecheap: Try adding card again in incognito, or preload account balance via UPI/Stripe. - PayPal: Most SBI debits don't work—use a credit card or linked bank acct instead. If still stuck, reply with exact error msg.

Temitope (@TemitopeJuba) reported@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!

Springblade 🇺🇸 (@steveMmattison) reported@LotusPeptideCom @PeptideSupplyCo From Grok Expert: Compare & contrast Hostinger and Namecheap domain registrars to Cloudflare. I've heard Hostinger and Namecheap are quick to suspend websites for little reason. What's the truth about suspended websites, and does it happen very much on Cloudflare. Specifically for Peptide selling sites.Hostinger/Namecheap vs Cloudflare Registrar: Hostinger/Namecheap: Cheap initial domains + hosting bundles; quick suspensions for abuse, phishing reports (often false), WHOIS issues, or illegal content. Namecheap explicitly bans "illegal pharmacy/controlled substances." Cloudflare: Registrar + DNS/proxy only (no hosting); at-cost renewals, top security/DNS; suspensions rare, only for legal/TOS violations—not quick content takedowns. Suspensions truth (esp. peptides): Common on Hostinger (phishing/abuse complaints); some on Namecheap for pharmacy-like sites. Rare on Cloudflare. Peptides (unapproved drugs) carry high risk everywhere—Namecheap bans them outright; Cloudflare least aggressive.

Ci Corp Africa (@CiCorpAfrica) reported@booleanbeyondIN Namecheap because we have a partnership, the support is much better than the other 2... Though hostinger and godaddy are supported on our systems too....

Simi (@coder_simran) reported@Namecheap you should support UPI payment , you are losing so many customers

Shobhit - Building SuperCmd (@nullbytes00) reported@melvynx Using namecheap since 10 years now, never had a single issue
-
Emad Ibrahim (@eibrahim) reported@melvynx @sepiropht Slow? Slow for what? You are just getting a domain. I have my bot automatically purchase a domain using namecheap api. I set the Nameservers to digital ocean and I am done.

fiveoverfive (@notfiveoverfive) reported@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.

Shawn McAllister (@entrepeneur4lyf) reported@RecursiveIntell @Namecheap @Cloudflare I wanted email service
-
Hari Prasad (@booleanbeyondIN) reported@CiCorpAfrica Hey @CiCorpAfrica, got it. Do you prefer Hostinger/Namecheap over GoDaddy because of price or support? Just wondering since I keep using GoDaddy for renewals... hate the interface but it works.
-
KING FOLUSHO | Website & Web App Developer (@folushoforreal) reportedNamecheap is one of the hosting platforms with strong customer support.
-
Sal P (@sals_patel) reportedHey @Namecheap I have DM’d you! No response from support emails etc
-
Truong Pham (@truongphamit) reported@pcshipp Depends on price and renewal fees, but Namecheap often has good beginner deals. If you want perks and uptime, GoDaddy isn’t the worst either.

Elliot Silver (@DInvesting) reported@Namecheap I sent an email to support already and chatting with a live agent on your website.

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

Nick (@maietta) reportedFound a MASSIVE Gotcha using Namecheap's Wordpress system behind a Cloudflare proxy. Editors can't login! Can't seem to fix!

Dianne B. Dee 🇨🇦 #CanadaStrong (@diannebdee) reportedI've been with @Namecheap since 2010 and I buy all my domains through them. Well, because of a payday issue, I've lost one and I'm not happy. It's now in auction and I likely won't be able to get it back. I had a website attached to it.
-
Sebastian Hulme (@sebbhulme) reportedYou need more domains than you think and you need to buy them smarter than you probably are. Grab them from Porkbun or Namecheap. Spaceship is my favourite. Never from your email provider directly because the markup is criminal. Buy variations of your main domain with prefixes and suffixes. If your company is called Acme then you want getacme, acmehq, tryacme, acmegroup Dot com is ideal but dot co and dot info work fine too. Figure out how many emails you want to send per day Divide by 30 for Google inboxes Then divide by three And that tells you how many domains you need. Sending 3,000 a day means you need 100 inboxes across maybe 30 to 35 domains and that sounds like a lot until you realise domains cost about 10 quid each for a year. People try to run big volume off 3 domains and then wonder why their sender reputation is in the bin by week two.

Sulik (@always_bulish) reported@Namecheap @DoppelHQ @cobie I did, two hours ago. Then tried to talk to the live support but they told me they can't continue talking to me because it's under legal now.

Rahud Dev (@RahudDev) reportedDomains aren’t expensive… bad registrars are. Use these instead: Cloudflare Namecheap Porkbun Save money → invest in building.
