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

  Day 5: Building in Public 🙌🏻 If you want to start a startup in 2026, the cost of building has never been lower. Claude = coding ($20/mo) GPT API = AI features (~$20/mo) Supabase = backend (Free) Vercel = deployment (Free) Namecheap = domain (~$12/yr) Stripe/Dodopayments = payments (2.9%/transaction) GitHub = version control (Free) Resend = emails (Free) ProductBridge = feedback (Free) Clerk = auth (Free) Cloudflare = DNS (Free) PostHog = analytics (Free) Sentry = error tracking (Free) Upstash = Redis (Free) Pinecone = vector DB (Free) You can get surprisingly far with ~$40/month.

  So apparently, Contabo newly introduced a free firewall feature which was enabled on the account and as a result, every incoming traffic was being dropped. More so, the issue Namecheap had last Thursday affected our domain as well, the DNS record completely stopped communicating with the server’s public IP. All issues fixed💯💯💯. Now I can rest😒😒😒 This is one of the things you get for working as a Bsckend Engineer.

  This morning I asked codex: "move my site to vercel to save costs". It asked me to login to namecheap for my dns records. "Ohh, move the nameservers to cloudflare too". 1 hour later - both are migrated.

  @codewith55 none, both have become worse, NameCheap had the worst downtime some time ago that proved they don't have redundancy plan if entire datacenter goes down.

  @Namecheap 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.

  CreativeCoder (@Doctorant2022) reported 26 minutes ago

  @Namecheap What's happening with your support? It has become completely useless and a waste of time! Every chat with a support agent feels like the agent just want to milk the maximum time he can from the conversation without offering anything of value!

  @thatdavidoc @doctorbeau @NamecheapCEO There's nothing cheap or unserious about Namecheap. There has been server downtimes in the history of all major cloud hosting services. And this one has never happened in years.

  @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?

  Ok this will sound like a hyperbole post but it’s not I have been using Instinct, the new AI assistant and it just found me ~$700/yr in subscriptions I forgot I was paying for. Real things it did: • Audited my Gmail and mapped every recurring subscription: ~$290/mo I wasn’t fully tracking • Found a “Universal TV Remote” app billing me $5.99 PER WEEK. That’s $311/yr for a remote app. Killed • Cancelled my AARP auto-renewal end to end: logged in, navigated the account, verified the confirmation screen • Flagged that my AAA membership ($121/yr) was duplicative because Geico already covers roadside. Cancelled that auto-renewal too • Caught a domain auto-renewing for $76 the next day and turned it off in Namecheap the night before • Found Suno at $30/mo I barely used. Downgraded to $10 • Sends me my kid’s school lunch menu every night at 7pm without me asking • Told me my car needed an emissions test before tag renewal, and that the deadline falls on my birthday. Saved a wasted trip • Built and deployed a tic tac toe game to my Netlify in ~10 min • Deployed a directory of 46 personal site previews to my Netlify • Designed 4 creative directions for my sister’s film studio site, then built the full site on the winner • Pulled my Netlify team ID from my personal account when I needed it Total: ~$700/yr in zombie subscriptions gone, plus a few hours of errands I never did. The underrated part isn’t the doing. It’s that it noticed things and proactively suggested what to do. Plus the UX was chef’s kiss This is about instinct. co, the app that’s all the rage on X lately Not a sponsored post nor am I an investor just a fan and early user

  Also, NameCheap appears to have restored all service at this point. The "significant outage" was due to a cooling system failure at the RadiusDC: Phoenix data center. Ah, those data centers...again.

  “We will work extremely hard” here means 1 month extension on the hosting… pure joke of a company! We lost hundreds of thousands in sales and revenue and they are giving 1 month of free service?! #namecheap #hosting #server

  @NamecheapCEO so damn… My ******* Quasar server got shut down today just after I was told last night that I would get a month complementary Grace because of my business being shut down (outage) and now my entire goddamn platform is off-line again! ****! @Namecheap bullshit!

  @UK_Daniel_Card See they had disaster recovery and their compliance standards said it had to be at a separate site. So they likely figured well, upstairs on the second floor is *basically* another site, I mean it’s a different location altogether, one has one set of coordinates and the other another. Besides their data centers are SOCII compliant meaning they have *environmental and power redundancy* because they care. Mostly they care about looking like they care though. Auditors came by, but they mostly had beers and didn’t give a ****, see they’re incentivized to not give a **** because a clean audit means they’ll be hired again. they’re totally independent, but the beers were good and their business depends on the one massive client. They of course made note of the DR situation, but namecheap accepted the risk by signing a paper and pinky swearing it would totally be fixed soonish at some point probably. This is my literal experience with compliance audits. They’re a joke. The bit about namecheap only using SOCII compliant data centers is real btw. So what happened? An abundant lack of competence.

  man, has anyone else felt like logging into @Namecheap is the hardest task ever? I literally just created a new password, and it’s already telling me it’s wrong. almost everytime I login to this website I have to change the password even tho I save it in my bitwarden password manager.

  i genuinely did not get the "hype" for this AI assistant called Instinct. if you have Codex or Claude, you can technically do everything it does. BUT, the problem is you need to download an app to your machine, make sure you got data/wi-fi, ask Computer Use to get it done, etc. Instinct just turned off auto renewal in Namecheap for a website for me. my first WOW moment was that it has it's own Vault, asked me for my password (like 1Password) and just got **** done for me. i don't know if i fully trust it yet, but it got it done over iMessage, accurately, in less than a minute, and sent a screenshot.

  @Namecheap @Cloudflare unfortunately namecheap's web app is so ridiculously slow on top of the price hikes.. this is going to take a while

  Adithya 🚀 (@adithyashreshti) reported 55 minutes ago

  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.
