    Richie Young (@Poor__Old) reported

    An underrated part of doing your own thing is all the tangential skills you learn. Just had a client from last year hit me up because their website was not showing online. Getting a "1001 error". Something about Cloudflare. Site built through carrd. Hosted on namecheap. Both renewed in the past year. Carrd reset to "offline draft". Namecheap added another DNS record. And it toggled ' on for the existing records. Carrd has its own ceriticate of security, so the toggles and extra DNS record were creating a problem. Honestly, I can't speak it the lingo exactly. But I knew the language enough to trouble shoot, find another back door tab in Carrd, and troubleshoot the problem. Site back up this morning. With a little help from the AI lords and the ability to speak(screenshot) the problem, it's all better now. Good start to the day. Especially after the little one was up from 11-2 last night!

    @toyinomotoso Namecheap is actually terrible A good percentage of those who use them always complain of frequent hacks on their websites I voiced out my frustration two years ago after losing more than 10 domains to hacks I can't even account fro Turns out, many persons also experience same issues Namecheap setup process is also too manual, Most times you'll have to change DNS yourself if you get a sub domain You have to install SSL yourself and all Most new hosting platforms do all that for you without you touching anything On hostinger 3 clicks and you have your website ready to use

    @Namecheap loses power in Phoenix due to a storm has to shut down the system to avoid any further damage. Shutting down websites access to all sorts of features it's almost like @Tesla_Megapack doesn't exist in the world. What the heck?

    @dhh don't use namecheap they'll try and get a piece of that **** off money or w.e with a price hike after a few years.

    @TwistedFocus99 @Namecheap Cost effective. And mostly stable with responsive customer support. While we've had systems issues before, this was a major **** up.

    @Namecheap My email was down for about 12 hours. When it came back up, no emails that would have been received during that time were there. Are they lost in the ether forever?

    WTF, @Namecheap. Need recommendations. For YEARS, I’ve recommended Namecheap over GoDaddy because the support was great and I trusted the experience. Now I’m finding that EVERY SINGLE domain I searched on Namecheap’s WHOIS less than 24 hours ago is suddenly “taken.” Not one. Every. Single. One. People on Reddit raised this exact issue months ago. I defended Namecheap because I’d never experienced it myself and even mentioned it is trust worthy. Well, I faced it now. I searched each domain ONCE. Just once. I wasn’t repeatedly checking them or trying to register them. And now they’re all “taken.” Maybe it’s a coincidence. But it’s a pretty damn weird one because every domain I that I had checked for availability is gone at easily 10x the price. I’m seriously considering moving everything out of Namecheap. Who are you guys using instead? Already using Cloudflare for .com, but I still have a lot of domains at NC.

    Namecheap, Spaceship were down. What's happening.

    During the outage, emails were inaccessible and external senders received bounce-backs. I tested from Gmail and Yahoo. A client also received a bounce-back. Namecheap’s CEO @HilanKlein publicly acknowledged the email outage and said affected emails may be delayed. 2/4

    The @Namecheap PR machine is impressive. The accountability isn’t. Publicly, @NamecheapCEO talks about customers and restoring trust. But when a real customer gives you an opportunity to demonstrate that accountability, silence. PR theatre ≠ accountability.

    2 days ago, @Namecheap was down. Today, @github is down. what's going on guys? are the AI models finally breaking free?

    Appears that @ProtonMail is down for the same exact reason that Namecheap was down last week. Curious. Cyber attack? "Identified - We have identified a critical cooling failure in our Frankfurt datacenter. We are currently in the process of shifting traffic to our backups sites."

    @NamecheapCEO @Namecheap 33 Hours down, and still NO Email, NO VPS. THIS IS NOW BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE!

    @Namecheap You have failed, with no redundancy, no clear ETA, and limited support, is unacceptable. Businesses are losing customers and revenue. We need transparency and a concrete restoration timeline now. #NamecheapDown

    @mwzd @MichaelCyger You'll always find companies that were successful no matter the TLD. Money will be made on these TLDs, but it will be the owners of the TLD, then maybe 0.1% of those who get their hands on the perfect span the dots, and the rest will just be rinsed. Let's just use the Namecheap list, with "Power" as the brand name - or you can just use any other Keyword (I like "Open" to make it fun as well) for that matter. In vast majority of cases it will not form a "span the dot" or "domain hack" brand. Are they all branding their company "Power" and the TLD doesn't matter? If yes, and you're marketing as "Power" only, imagine the marketing $$$ waste Are they all branding as Power+respective TLD? If yes, how much money will it take to change decades of human habit and behaviour to re-educate your customer, so they remember the full domain? And how much free traffic will you generate for Power+TLD․com and the waste of $$$ in the process power․aid power․arc power․asi power․brain power․clone power․craft power․den power․did power․droid power․fab power․flux power․folio power․forge power․foundry power․gate power․grid power․intel power․intelligence power․kit power․lab power․lens power․lift power․logic power․maker power․mart power․matrix power․mesh power․mod power․ops power․path power․scan power․sense power․shift power․ship power․sync power․synth power․sys power․trek power․view power․wave

    @Porkbun @spaceship @Namecheap 5/ The India Payment Problem 🇮🇳 Most top developer-recommended platforms (like Porkbun or Spaceship) offer great pricing but don't support native UPI. If your debit card lacks international enabling, your purchase will instantly fail. Don't let that stall your launch! Platforms that actually support UPI to lock down your name instantly: • GoDaddy India: Massive support for UPI, great initial promos, but watch out for intense checkout up-sells! • Hostinger India: Highly reliable local billing, excellent speeds, and clean UPI QR codes at checkout.

    @NamecheapCEO 14+ hours of business email disruption. Emails bounced. Business impacted. Namecheap’s compensation? $10. Yes, $10. Does @Namecheap seriously believe this demonstrates accountability to a small business after a major infrastructure outage?
