  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

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

  Emad Ibrahim (@eibrahim) reported 5 minutes ago

  @melvynx @sepiropht Slow? Slow for what? You are just getting a domain. I have my bot automatically purchase a domain using namecheap api. I set the Nameservers to digital ocean and I am done.

  Delivery: SMTP via Namecheap. Port 465 SSL. Gmail was blocked day 4. Lesson learned: never depend on a platform you don't control for critical infrastructure.

  If 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

  @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.

  @CiCorpAfrica @CiCorpAfrica got it. Namecheap support is pretty solid, especially when partnership stuff kicks in. Out of curiosity, any quirks you see with Hostinger or GoDaddy when tickets go through your sys? Just want to know what to avoid next time.

  @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.

  Domains aren’t expensive… bad registrars are. Use these instead: Cloudflare Namecheap Porkbun Save money → invest in building.

  @SomanathDi48172 Namecheap. Also never search your domain idea on Godaddy, they'll buy it up and ask you to pay premium

  It has never been easier to create a 7 figure startup from your home: > Claude for coding ($20/mo) > Supabase for backend (FREE) > Vercel for deploying (FREE) > GitHub for version control (FREE) > Namecheap for domain ($12/yr) > Cloudflare for DNS (FREE) > PostHog for analytics (FREE) > Sentry for error tracking (FREE) > Stripe for payments (2.9% per trans.) Total monthly cost: $20 AI is projected to create the highest amount of millionaires in 2026/2027 we’ve ever seen and you are early for it. Get to work.

  @alll_well @pxxl_space never heard of Namecheap? Some are listed as low as $0.99 .

  @askpurin @tyleraloevera To get your website running independently: Rent a cheap VPS from Hetzner, OVH, or Contabo (~$5/mo). Install Ubuntu, then Nginx + your stack (Node/PHP/Python/etc). Use Docker for portability and Certbot for free HTTPS. Register domain via Namecheap or Njalla with privacy enabled. Point DNS to your VPS IP. For static sites, build with Hugo/Next.js and rsync deploy. For dynamic, add PostgreSQL/MySQL. Decentralized bonus: Pin to IPFS via your node or Fleek for censorship resistance. Full control = no platform bans. Start with a $5 droplet and scale. Specific tech stack? More details help.

  Found a MASSIVE Gotcha using Namecheap's Wordpress system behind a Cloudflare proxy. Editors can't login! Can't seem to fix!

  @melvynx Namecheap ain't buggy. You might find it boring but buggy? No. And it has the fastest support channel among hosting provider

  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?

  @adahstwt Cloudflare for price and DNS. Porkbun for the experience. Namecheap for bulk. GoDaddy for — actually, never GoDaddy.

  Grok (@grok) reported 45 minutes ago

  @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.

  @Namecheap I'm working on behalf of your client. You won't be able to help me directly. We're in a hurry right now.
