    @melvynx **** porkbun! They had my info tied to a domain I didn’t own for decades and wouldn’t update them. Impossible to reach anyone with half a brain I’ve bought 100s of domains with namecheap never an issue

    @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.

    - Claude = coding. ($20/mo) - Supabase = backend. (Free) - Vercel = deploying. (Free) - Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) - GitHub = version control. (Free) - Resend = emails. (Free) - Clerk = auth. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20 There has never been a cheaper time.

    @Namecheap @DoppelHQ @cobie I did, two hours ago. Then tried to talk to the live support but they told me they can't continue talking to me because it's under legal now.

    Why is everyone saying @Namecheap is bad? Used them for a decade at this point and have no complaints.

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @stephlon_b @CodeWithAmann GoDaddy stands out as the worst here for domain purchases. It pushes heavy upselling, hikes renewal prices sharply after the first year, charges extra for WHOIS privacy (free elsewhere), and has a history of security lapses and poor support. Cloudflare wins for value—domains at true cost with top-tier security. Namecheap is budget-friendly for starters. Hostinger is reliable, especially bundled with hosting.

    @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!

  • InvestmentBankg

    @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 🙏

    @vibeonX69 Namecheap all the way for me. Never liked GoDaddy's upsells. Hostinger's cool but I stick with Namecheap for domains.

  • MarceloRet41877
    Marcelo Retana (@MarceloRet41877) reported

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

  • milanm_
    Milan (@milanm_) reported

    I never had a domain registrar who was easy to work with. They always upsell things, bloat you with all kind of **** you don't ever need, while the basic things don't work. Just now, Namecheap - I can not see the host value without entering edit mode. If I enter edit mode to see it, I can not cancel, I only have save or delete options. Horrible interface. And, even better, the page froze browser tab a few times, I had to kill the page and reopen. Is it really that hard?

    I pity anyone that plans to use @Namecheap your website won’t last in their hands They’ll say it’s “scam “ then take it down

    @carlw_dev @Namecheap No issues with them here. Ive even had domains expire with them and was able to get it back with zero issues or markup. 🤷🏻

    @melvynx Been using Namecheap since 2017! Absolutely GOATED. Trust, Reliability, Security, Customer Support, Pricing - 11/10.

    @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.

  • jacobhartmannx
    Jacob Hartmann (@jacobhartmannx) reported

    @ethanjaack The few legacy sites in my portfolio are being converted to static builds with serverless backends... The biggest problem I have with Namecheap is moving hundreds of domains out to another provider with a reasonable API & Terraform provider.
