  If you want to build a startup that actually has users: Claude = coding. (more like $100+) Supabase = backend. ($25-599/mo once you cross free tier) Vercel = deploying. ($20-150+/mo once you get real traffic) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr, ok this one's real) Stripe = payments. (2.9% + 30¢/transaction) GitHub = version control. (free) Resend = emails. (free until 3k emails, then $20/mo+) Clerk = auth. (free until 10k MAU, then $25/mo+) Cloudflare = DNS. (free, genuinely) PostHog = analytics. (free until you cross the free tier) Sentry = error tracking. (free until errors pile up) Upstash = Redis. (free until real traffic) Pinecone = vector DB. ($70/mo minimum) Total monthly cost to run a startup with actual users: $300-1000+ "$21/mo" is the cost to run a demo nobody uses.

  @Namecheap every other week there's a domain I win domains with non-functioning namerservers. 3-4 times in last months. I contact support and they tell gaslight me telling me it's all fine. Waste 30 minutes until they call a specialist to fixt it. Please deal with this.

  @Namecheap auction is getting more and more suspicious. So many domains are getting auctioned more than once with the second highest bidder (in many cases) being an account that never won a single auction previously. Ked(.)ai was auctioned for 4K some days ago. The buyer probably didn't pay and now sold for over 3K with the second highest bidder being an account that never won any auction previously. A similar story happened with AAP(.)ai. The domain was auctioned off and then was back to auction again, which I suspect because the first auction winner didn't pay. However, Namecheap then removed it from auction. As much as I love @spaceship and its products, what is happening at the Namecheap auction is concerning from an investor POV. Another thing, everyday a new account that joined earlier this year (never won any auction) coming to auction and bidding high.

  @anupamrjp I'd probably stick with Namecheap. They've been reliable for me and the support is solid.

  @csaba_kissi I still use Namecheap for my domains. The dashboard and support have been reliable for me over the years. Renewal costs might be higher than Cloudflare but I haven't felt the need to switch yet.

  @Namecheap Oh FFS so it's caused by Right Clicking to Copy the password. If you just double click & "ctrl c" it does not add "Refresh" to the pasted text. I have never ever encountered this bloody nonsense before & so not understand why any developer would think this is acceptable.

  @Samaytwt 1) Not at the same place you are running your workloads 2) Namecheap is fine, never felt a need to change and never had any issues.

  Btw guys, let me share something about Minecraft. If you didn't grow up playing Minecraft on eg McPvP, factions and these other hardcore servers, you will never be successful. Holy ****, do I have connections from those times. On top of that, I just checked, I've had my namecheap and godaddy accounts since 2013, at which point I was 10. The amount of knowledge and experience I have at my age now is unheard of unless you also grew up playing on those servers. Take Malone Lam for example. It also makes me immune to empty threats, mf I was 10 with a ddos software on my iMac, don't think you can intimidate me. Magnum PI couldn't dig up more dirt on somebody than I can. TLDR: Minecraft makes Millionaires

  @neerajjj6785 Really depends on what you're using it for and where your stuff will be hosted. If you're using a platform like AWS then buying it through them can save you some headaches down the line. Otherwise I've always used Namecheap but heard good things about Cloudflare.

  @Namecheap The part where I type a postal code, and just because there's a space (which your JS should be able to verify is irrelevant) the form goes "FIX THIS VALUE IT IS WRONG" when in fact no, it is not: validate _after_ removing semantically irrelevant characters.

  @digitalocean y’all left my company in a lurch, and now I’m looking to shift. Overpriced droplets in my opinion, horrible support, unless you’re paying $999 a month, in my opinion and a lack of uptime stability on smaller tiers in my opinion. @Namecheap VPS is lookin good.
