-
Milan (@milanm_) reportedI 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?

Flycurs (@flycurs) reported@TeeDevh i woud never buy a domian on namecheap

Hari Prasad (@booleanbeyondIN) reported@CiCorpAfrica Hey @CiCorpAfrica, got it. Do you prefer Hostinger/Namecheap over GoDaddy because of price or support? Just wondering since I keep using GoDaddy for renewals... hate the interface but it works.

Nexus Intelligence (@nexushqintel) reported@Polymarket @PelicanAI_ independently verified the polyboost forensic. Domain registered 22 days ago on Namecheap with privacy shield. Already flagged low-trust by multiple scanners. Same affiliate ring, same bot reply network, same scam. Different wrapper.

KING FOLUSHO | Website & Web App Developer (@folushoforreal) reportedNamecheap is one of the hosting platforms with strong customer support.

ᴇʟꜰᴏ 🇷🇼 (@thelocalelf) reported@msnmongare @mbiti_mwondi @kichwa_ DNS management. The thing froze all the time when editing the DNS records and at times just failed. Sahii even pointing my other domains to vercel is not working as it does when I use namecheap

Melvyn • Builder (@melvynx) reportedDon’t use Namecheap it’s literally the worst domain provider.

What are you building?

Rahud Dev (@RahudDev) reportedDomains aren’t expensive… bad registrars are. Use these instead: Cloudflare Namecheap Porkbun Save money → invest in building.
-
Abiodun Osagie (@abiodunosagie1) reported@melvynx Namecheap has been really good to me. Don’t see any issue maybe creating a server there I suppose if of it’s MySQL wrapper
-
Mike Codes (@Newaicoder) reported@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
-
Jay Khatri (@JaykhatriDev) reported@AlfinCodes I mostly use namecheap as it provides renewal domains at cheaper rates, but go daddy offer 24/7 phone +chat support.

DYJ (@davidyjeong) reportedan attacker tried to hijack one of our domains as well, here's what happened > i get an email from the domain registrar's abuse department telling me they've approved my request to change the email on my account to contact@<similar domain> > i don't own this other domain and i've never made such a request > within 30 seconds, i emailed back saying i did not make the request > i email namecheap, the registrar for the other domain and report abuse to block STMP/IMAP > i pull out my laptop in the middle of a shopping mall and literally sit on the floor to log in and add in every form of MFA i could > 10 minutes later, the account is locked > i get an email from the registrar effectively saying "ignore the previous email, we didn't change the email yet. we've locked your account, please give us KYC documents" > i go back and forth and provide all the KYC documents they ask for > i confirm that no changes can be made to the domain while it is locked > i create a ticket from the regitrar's contact form from their official website to verify the email thread is legitimate > the account is locked for a week while they verify my documents > we constantly monitor the domain (dig NS <domain> +short) just in case > i threaten to submit an ICANN complaint and tell my users to use a new domain if they don't unlock my account > account unlocked within minutes > currently moving everything to AWS Route 53 PSA - if you're not on AWS, move everything to AWS. if you log into a website with your wallet, make sure to carefully read the authorizations prompt

pixi (@hi_pixi) reportedMine works very well...I use it to pay for backblaze cloud, cloudflare r2, workers, domains subscriptions, namecheap domains and OVH cloud and no issues for a year now. Before I tried the Airtel one but it couldn't pay for backblaze service so I switched to MTN and it's fine
-
HOLM.ETH (@MVNSONxxx) reported@CryptoNoApes @NamebaseHQ I think Namebase has been as transparent as they can be. Once funds are returned, NB would likely reopen. At this point, it’s on Namecheap to address the user fund issues

Vontavius Hurd (@vontaviushurd) reported@CodeWithAmann NameCheap never buy a domain from Cloudflare you won’t be able to use another hosting provider like WordPress, Google Cloud, or AWS. Hostinger is usually just slow and buggy.
