Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported@Namecheap Oh FFS so it's caused by Right Clicking to Copy the password. If you just double click & "ctrl c" it does not add "Refresh" to the pasted text. I have never ever encountered this bloody nonsense before & so not understand why any developer would think this is acceptable.

Rob (@RobGuerra90) reported@omarvvvr Namecheap all the way never had a problem in years and their customer support is on point

Snigdha Sur (@snigdhasur) reported@vivekteega @prbhtkumr @Namecheap Just so folks know their rights, a domain provider canβt shut down your domain globally without a proper court order, especially if youβre running a legitimate business. Thatβs why we won our TRO (temporary restraining order) to get it back
-
Mykhailo Sorochuk (@sir4K_zen) reported@omarvvvr i go with Namecheap β straightforward UI, decent renewal rates and reliable support

Friday (@friday_omoaka) reported@DNWE_com DNWE charges 15% commission on sales? What value or services do you provide to warrant such? This is just greed. Are you comparing yourself with Afternic with big distribution network? Spaceship with Namecheap distribution even charges 10% commission.

Diluc (@hsaffiliate2025) reportedThis indie dev built a 100% free URL shortener β and it reportedly makes $1,000/month. Bitly and TinyURL now charge $29/month just for custom slugs and basic click tracking. He saw the gap and built shorlnk. Free for everything most people need: custom aliases, click stats, QR codes. Paid only for team features, higher API limits, custom domains. Hereβs the exact model: β’ Free: unlimited short links, custom slugs, basic analytics β’ Pro ($9/mo): more API calls, advanced stats, priority support β’ Team ($29/mo): collaboration, custom domain, dedicated support He open-sourced the revenue number on IndieHackers (his claim, not verified). Tech stack: React + Tailwind, Node.js + Express, PostgreSQL, Vercel + AWS, Namecheap. Built in ~3 weeks. Challenges: β Crowded market: he won users by shouting β100% freeβ on Product Hunt and Hacker News. β Server costs from free users: throttled API to 100 req/min. β Abuse risk: built a review system to block phishing links. Is it for you? If you can code, yes. If not, no. $1,000/month sounds nice, but after server costs itβs more like $700β800. And itβs his reported number β not guaranteed. Bottom line: find a niche where big players are greedy, offer the basics for free, and charge for power features. It works, but itβs a grind β not a get-rich-quick play. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #IndieHackers #SideProject

Domayn Kapital (@domaynkapital) reported@Namecheap every few weeks there's a domain I win with non-functioning namerservers. 3-4 times in the last months. I contact support and they tell gaslight me telling me it's all fine. Waste 30 minutes until they call a specialist to fixt it. Please deal with this.

yev (@itisyev) reported@Namecheap @digitalocean To be clear, I released the IP address as part of winding things down. I just finally noticed it got recycled

AgentNirmites (@agentNirmites) reportedI received my first cold email. This guy has a marketing technique, let me show you. It depends on your customer base (your market), but here is an overall idea. So, this guy provides social media marketing, website building, app building services. And he found me via ... My domain name! My domain has nothing hosted on it, but still... So, this guy seems to be scraping a whole bunch of social media accounts, reddit profiles, and subreddits too. So, he has 1000s (or even 10k s) of domain names listed. Now comes the magic part. He found contact details of all those domain names' owners. How? Every Domain Provider company like NameCheap @Namecheap (my favorite), (Square Space) @squarespace , Go Daddy (@GoDaddy ), and so on. All of they are, by law (by ICANN), required to allow people to contact domain owners via a web form. So, this guy has to just fill a web form to get to any domain owner. And for any reason, if you have a domain, you are doing something with it, if not, then you had an intention to do something... So, he fills all those web forms to get to the owners, (probably written by AI, or manually). In other words, he is kinda sending a cold email to all the potential customers. Good Trick, isn't it? You just need to find where your potential customers hangout, and somehow get their contact details. A lot of places require contact information, and they show it publicly, like Domain Name providers. Just fill a web form, run ollama qwen models to write the email too. For free. (BTW Qwen models are my favorite!) If you're a freelancer, doing marketing or web building, what are you waiting for? If you're a software engineer, go get your clients...

Lg Shurley (@SurelyLg) reported@Namecheap #namecheap lost thousands of dollars today due to bad business. They refused to refund a purchase they made a mistake on. This violates a sacred covenant between business & customer. They are unethical and have forgotten what it means to appreciate a customer.#ethics

Blake Ryan (@blakefakhoury) reported@namemaxicom @NamePros @Namecheap Haha didn't mean to be rude! I use your tool religiously and have made 7 figures from flips on it, was just pointing it out.

Matthew Belcher (@Trigun420) reported@Namecheap @JakawaEIWHunter Looks like it was taken down. Good work @namecheap

TheRealPomax (@TheRealPomax) reported@Namecheap The part where I type a postal code, and just because there's a space (which your JS should be able to verify is irrelevant) the form goes "FIX THIS VALUE IT IS WRONG" when in fact no, it is not: validate _after_ removing semantically irrelevant characters.

Ajetomobi Jamiu (@JamiuAjetomobi) reportedIt doesn't matter how great your content or product is if your audience never sees it. βThe fix requires updating your technical security keys inside your domain host (like @GoDaddy or @Namecheap) so providers know you are a trusted sender.

ΖrΞ±eα§ (@fraey0) reportedit costs about $21/month to run what could become a multi-million dollar startup β’ human brain = reasoning (free) β’ claude = coding ($20/mo) β’ supabase = backend (free) β’ vercel = deployment (free) β’ namecheap = domain ($12/yr) β’ stripe = payments (2.9%/trx) β’ github = versioning (free) β’ resend = email (free) β’ clerk = auth (free) β’ cloudflare = DNS (free) β’ posthog = analytics (free) β’ sentry = error tracking (free) β’ upstash = redis (free) β’ pinecone = vector DB (free) everything sums up to roughly $20 to $25 per month so, the tools are not the barrier anymore. most ideas donβt fail because theyβre expensive to build. they fail because they never get built at all. whatβs stopping you?

zuby | Default Web Designer (@zubywebstudio) reportedTo get a domain now and hosting is not the problem until it's time for renewal I think Namecheap now has separate charge for their positive SSL renewal π

Fernando (@unfernaonx) reported@larsbuilds Whatβs that service? Looks good. I use namecheap and sometimes it feels like 2014 cPanel

SysGoblin (@thesysgoblin) reported@sattyyouneed GoDaddy is ****. Has hidden fees and is the most expensive option out there. Porkbun is cheaper than namecheap, almost equal to cloudfare but with namecheap's ease. Never tried Hostinger.
