    How I book 18 calls/week with medical clinic owners without cold calling. Here's the exact system: 1. Buy 3 domains on Namecheap for $30 total 2. Set up email accounts on each domain using Google Workspace 3. Warm the inboxes for 10 days in Instantly before sending anything 4. Build a list of 500 med spas and cosmetic clinics in Apollo filtering by employee count 5-50 5. Scrape owner/marketing director emails using Apollo's verified contacts 6. Write a 4-email sequence: intro with pattern interrupt, case study, social proof, last chance 7. Keep subject lines under 4 words and body copy under 60 words per email 8. Send 50 emails per day per domain, 150 total daily volume 9. Space follow-ups 3 days apart 10. Route positive replies into GHL for automated booking 11. Use Cal to let them pick times that sync with my actual calendar 12. Qualify in the booking form: revenue, current marketing spend, decision maker status 13. No-shows get an auto-sequence offering to reschedule once 14. Track everything in a Make dashboard pulling data from Instantly and GHL This books 15-20 calls weekly at a 35% show rate. i break down systems like this daily. follow along.

    .@Namecheap I think it's very funny how you guys have scammed me twice with two different accounts, and then making verification so difficult that almost every document I've submitted was not accepted. No problems though. My mistake for ever trying to work with you guys. This is very ****** service and I'll never patronize you any more.

    Cloudflare Registrar sells domains at cost and they make zero profit on domain registration. It's a loss leader to get you on their platform. That's why the renewal price never spikes. Namecheap's first-year discount is a customer acquisition trick; the real price is the renewal. Agree?

    Longevity World Cup is temporarily unavailable due to a @Namecheap hosting network incident affecting hosted websites and accounts. We’re monitoring the situation and will be back online once connectivity is restored.

    @ravikiran_dev7 Cloudflare Registrar for domains you plan to keep long term. They sell at cost with no markup. Namecheap for anything quick and cheap. GoDaddy only if you need phone support. Avoid renewing with GoDaddy though, the renewal prices are way higher than the initial promo.

    @pcshipp you will want to transfer it to cloudflare anyhow for the cool stuff it has down the line (email routing is quite cool). don't even touch godaddy. namecheap iirc is cheaper upfront sometimes but renewal costs more

    @the_smart_ape Tbh I have nothing to do with it. There are no clear alternatives for gmail. Every other email registrar could fall as well so no point into thinking that switching from google is gonna save you for sure. Namecheap can go down, microsoft as well and every other ******* email registrar.

    @DoppelHQ @Namecheap So there you go. Months and month of grinding 16 hours a day trying to build something, gone in a second because of AI halucinated and another AI accepted because it's coming from a big company. I'd appreaciate any help, i don't know @cobie ? Anyone...

    @Onepeg No one should reach out to them, they request your id to verify your the owner to take down content, you should go to their registarar which I beleive is namecheap and file a DMCA with them

    Worst experience with @GoDaddy support compared to other top domain registrars like @Namecheap and @Cloudflare. Reported serious fraud-related domains with evidence, but still no effective response or visible action on my complaints. Case IDs: DCU101299924 & DCU101300141.

    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.

    @BacLeodiv Everyone hates on Godaddy but I e been there 20 years and only had one major issue related to their migration in the early 2010s. Hundreds of domains and 40ish customers. No complaints. I also use the others. Namecheap is up and down on their support. Cloudflare I thought of as expensive. But honestly they all are now.

    @Namecheap Fix your servers!!! 33% packet lost to 8.8.8.8 is unacceptable even for a server in Africa. Your tech support telling me to reboot and change hostname. They clueless. This is a serious production software. Fix your servers and educate your tech support!!!

    The most powerful thing a platform can do is make you feel like you don't need your guard up. Namecheap does that. Not by promising the world. By just... not being awful.

    Day 63/365 Headache of a day. Found out wix plays terribly with third parties. Went down a rabbit hole and ended up with a very tedious process to get away from wix. Learned that if you’re going to buy a domain, do it from namecheap unless you plan on using a wix-created site.

    @austinginder That's a crazy one! I've seen a number of bad things on GoDaddy as well. Generally try to get clients to move to PorkBun or NameCheap... I'll even help them for free!

  • maietta

    Careful who you host your websites with: Namecheap is hosting the website of a client of mine. My client has been paying yearly for "security services" but under my advisement, I felt they could save their money. Well, the SSL certificate expired and is no longer resolving for the client's website. So, Namecheap will offer hosting services, but will kill off SSL certificates if you don't pay for their "security service". Many web browsers won't even connect to a website with no valid certificate and worse, if HTS is enabled, the browser will never reach the non-ssl version of the site. So, my client's website is unreachable to most traffic right now.
