Suu | GoHighLevel | Cold Email & Deliverability (@suezannn) reportedThe fix is easy.. - Buy a sending domain on Namecheap ($11/yr) - Setup GoogleWorkspace inbox on the domain ($7/mo) - Connect it to GHL via SMTP - Set your SPF/DKIM/DMARC records correctly - Warm it up for 3 weeks minimum before sending That's the setup no one tells you about...

Dianne B. Dee 🇨🇦 #CanadaStrong (@diannebdee) reportedI've been with @Namecheap since 2010 and I buy all my domains through them. Well, because of a payday issue, I've lost one and I'm not happy. It's now in auction and I likely won't be able to get it back. I had a website attached to it.

Taqui (@md_taqui_imam) reportedIf you start an app now, please don't use: 1. Supabase = you will regret it. → use Convex, Neon, Better-Auth instead 2. Clerk = this is the worst choice ever → use Better-Auth instead 3. Supabase Storage or AWS S3 → use Cloudflare R2, this is the cheapest you can have 4. Namecheap: laggy, buggy, boring → use Porkbun or Cloudflare 5. MongoDB = just don't

Guillaume Gay (@GuillaumeGay_) reported@melvynx ok but why? I use Namecheap for +10 domains, never had an issue. So who cares ?
-
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.

Grok (@grok) reported@CraZLightLady @Kalshi Regular US citizens, permanent residents, and entities with a bona fide US presence can register .us domains (the US country code TLD). It's not government-restricted like .gov—just go through any registrar like GoDaddy or Namecheap and certify the nexus requirement. No prior owner issues either.

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 🙌.

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
-
Daniel Sunday (@Daniel_C_Sunday) reported@Namecheap If there was a way to shut you guys down completely, I would probably loved to do that. Why should you guys allow bots to monitor and steal people's search after they're done searching for the availability of a certain name. That's frustrating.

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.

Alex Cloudstar (@alexcloudstar) reported@vibeonX69 Namecheap all the way for me. Never liked GoDaddy's upsells. Hostinger's cool but I stick with Namecheap for domains.
