  @Namecheap Love the support for solo-preneurs! Up to 98% off is insane.

  You 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.

  @BowTiedMeerkat @vivoplt Namecheap is the worst domain provider you could ever use and recommend. Don't.

  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.

  @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.

  @Namecheap your services are still down yet you keep informing people that everything is ok !! This is unacceptable behavior and the support teams keeps saying that everything is ok! FYI if something works on your internal pcs doesn't mean it works for the entire world!

  @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.

  @msnmongare @mbiti_mwondi @kichwa_ DNS management. The thing froze all the time when editing the DNS records and at times just failed. Sahii even pointing my other domains to vercel is not working as it does when I use namecheap

  Volt Company (@VoltAgentAI) reported 29 minutes ago

  I stopped using Gmail for business email. Day 4: account suspended. No warning. Replaced with Namecheap Private Email on my own domain in 10 minutes. Rule: never use free infrastructure for anything that generates revenue.

  @brokertom Congrats Tom, on this launch ! Asking you for help: I have zero views on my domains listed for sale on @afternic/GoDaddy, but I get views for same domains on Namecheap, Spaceship. What could be the reason & what should I do to get views on @afternic/GoDaddy. Please help 🙏

  @melvynx Example of things that don't matter. Namecheap hasn't give me any issues, plus their prices are one of the best.

  So My Namecheap hosted websites where down for last 3 days, one is a wordpress website and another is a Flask app. Namecheap support system wasn't working for me, Max to Max they were blaming me. Just changed the nameservers to cloudflare and things got back to normal.

  A simple 1 page website domain setup led to a series of subdomain crashes for a client. Spent last 3 hours troubleshooting. Assumed that Namecheap support rep had a bulk DNS upload capability but NO - it took 2 hours to manually upload each of the 200 records. @Namecheap plz include a bulk DNS import and export functionality.

  @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?
