    @adahstwt Namecheap is a super awful decision. You could use something better such as Vercel domains or Hostinger. Namecheap is too bad now.

    @itsjustcornbro Attempted to continue the business alone despite me having my equity in Delaware, seizing a digital accounts for the company I secured with Yubikeys by fraudulently claiming to be me with NameCheap support, a couple felonies related to unauthorized access. Basically instead of us making millions (we were already partners with the biggest company in that industry and they said they'd acquire us if we hit certain KPIs) he took a knife out, stabbed me in the back, and slit his own throat and died.

    I'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.

  • Bombay_71
    Tushar Motwani (@Bombay_71) reported

    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.

    @RaenestApp 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!

    Note to @Namecheap: When I ask for support because your stuff isn't working, I want you to fix it, not say "yeah, we looked, it's us not you, you should try these things and let us know if you doing our job for us doesn't work, so THEN maybe we'll do what you're paying us for."

    If you start an app now, please don't use: 1. Supabase = you will regret it. → use Convex, Neon, Better-Auth instead 2. Clerk = this is the worst choice ever → use Better-Auth instead 3. Supabase Storage or AWS S3 → use Cloudflare R2, this is the cheapest you can have 4. Namecheap: laggy, buggy, boring → use Porkbun or Cloudflare 5. MongoDB = just don't

  • 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.

    Domains aren’t expensive… bad registrars are. Use these instead: Cloudflare Namecheap Porkbun Save money → invest in building.

    you’ll regret starting a new app with Supabase, so go with Firebase instead. Firebase Auth is making Clerk look like a bad choice. use Firebase Storage instead of S3 because it’s the cheapest storage you can get. Replace Namecheap for Spaceship. And please, just stop using MongoDB use Firebase Firestore
