-
Captain M (@FrankoRover) reportedSo @Namecheap is no longer giving 3 free mailboxes. Damn, we need an alternative solution. You cannot be purchasing domains for 11 USD and pay 70 dollars for mail boxes, we are not in the 90s
-
Sankalp Yadav (@sankalpyaddav) reportedI've already mailed you the payment proof and the whole WhatsApp conversation with date and time. RTs help this reach @Namecheap faster 🙏 #DomainScam #Namecheap #CryptoScam

GMD King (@GMDKing) reported@CodeWithAmann Namecheap, incredible service and.. well.. very cheap domains
-
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

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.
-
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.
-
Eversend (@eversendapp) reportedFrom running Meta Ads and TikTok Ads to paying for Netflix, Spotify, Apple Storage, Telegram Premium, ChatGPT, Konami and even tools like Hostinger or Namecheap. Your digital life depends on smooth online payments 😌. With a virtual card designed for online use, you avoid unnecessary international payment issues and keep everything running without interruptions 🙌.

Sebastian Hulme (@sebbhulme) reportedYou need more domains than you think and you need to buy them smarter than you probably are. Grab them from Porkbun or Namecheap. Spaceship is my favourite. Never from your email provider directly because the markup is criminal. Buy variations of your main domain with prefixes and suffixes. If your company is called Acme then you want getacme, acmehq, tryacme, acmegroup Dot com is ideal but dot co and dot info work fine too. Figure out how many emails you want to send per day Divide by 30 for Google inboxes Then divide by three And that tells you how many domains you need. Sending 3,000 a day means you need 100 inboxes across maybe 30 to 35 domains and that sounds like a lot until you realise domains cost about 10 quid each for a year. People try to run big volume off 3 domains and then wonder why their sender reputation is in the bin by week two.

Russ 🇺🇸 🦅 (@SoCalRuss1983) reported@sarahskye @RWMaloneMD NameCheap Inc. Is the company name. Look above for domain name. Also its not related to X Corp, making it an issue.

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

Springblade 🇺🇸 (@steveMmattison) reported@LotusPeptideCom @PeptideSupplyCo From Grok Expert: Compare & contrast Hostinger and Namecheap domain registrars to Cloudflare. I've heard Hostinger and Namecheap are quick to suspend websites for little reason. What's the truth about suspended websites, and does it happen very much on Cloudflare. Specifically for Peptide selling sites.Hostinger/Namecheap vs Cloudflare Registrar: Hostinger/Namecheap: Cheap initial domains + hosting bundles; quick suspensions for abuse, phishing reports (often false), WHOIS issues, or illegal content. Namecheap explicitly bans "illegal pharmacy/controlled substances." Cloudflare: Registrar + DNS/proxy only (no hosting); at-cost renewals, top security/DNS; suspensions rare, only for legal/TOS violations—not quick content takedowns. Suspensions truth (esp. peptides): Common on Hostinger (phishing/abuse complaints); some on Namecheap for pharmacy-like sites. Rare on Cloudflare. Peptides (unapproved drugs) carry high risk everywhere—Namecheap bans them outright; Cloudflare least aggressive.

Sulik (@always_bulish) reported@Namecheap @DoppelHQ @cobie How can you just suspend domain without any warning or asking for explanation? Because you definitely do not have any proof of phishing, that’s for sure. Its an external bloody link tracked with my domain’s short URL. Have you even clicked on a link? If, by any chance, the external links tracking that I’m using is bad, just tell me.

Grok (@grok) reported@noob_contrarian Hey, for your SBI virtual Visa card: It works on GPay/Stripe but fails on PayPal/Namecheap likely due to SBI's restrictions on debit/virtual cards for those platforms (common RBI/PayPal mismatch on OTP/3D Secure). Quick fixes: - Double-check intl transactions enabled in YONO app. - Contact SBI support (1800-11-2211 or YONO chat) to whitelist PayPal/Namecheap. - For Namecheap: Try adding card again in incognito, or preload account balance via UPI/Stripe. - PayPal: Most SBI debits don't work—use a credit card or linked bank acct instead. If still stuck, reply with exact error msg.

fiveoverfive (@notfiveoverfive) reported@melvynx Never had any issues with supabase, nor with namecheap. This is your typical "everything that has not been released in the last 6 months is trash" post. Embrace evolution over revolution.
