Namecheap is still reasonably cost competitive. I use them for a few domains I own and haven’t had any major issues and found the price closer to other well known competitors.

Porkbun is cheaper

Cloudflare is cheaper.

To be clear, the issue was with a 3rd party provider that we use to send our newsletter. None of our own systems or customer accounts where breached. I sent a follow up email to all users that were affected. The domains linked in the original phishing emails were also disabled. I apologize for this issue and to anyone it may have affected. We have also taken immediate steps to insure it will not happen again.

> straight up lying to your new customers

A bit overdramatic don't you think? Cheap is a matter of opinion.

Until you try to put a single NS record on your domain. Then you have to cough up the dough for a business plan. Utterly laughable and why I moved off Cloudflare for my domains. NS records are free on Namecheap and Porkbun.

Cheap is a matter of perspective, like all marketing.

This is a cheap shot. I do not think "sir" will pay any attention.

Checked my emails, didn't find anything, but looking through gmail spam box, I got a DHL one:

Subject: Your parcel was not able to be delivered

Sender: contact

> Dear Client,

> We regret to inform you that your parcel was not able to be delivered on the specified date, xx/02/2023. The parcel is currently located in the DHL warehouse near your town.

> The reason for the delay was that the sender did not pay the necessary fees for the delivery. To avoid the parcel being returned, we ask that you pay the fee of 6.xx USD. You can track your parcel and pay the fee by clicking the tracking button.

> Track and Pay >> > DETAILS

> Order number: xxxxxxxxxxxx

> Total: (x.xx USD)

> Delivery is planned between: xx.02.2023 - xx.02.2023

> Once the fee is paid, we will be able to deliver the parcel . We apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding. Sincerely,

Link URL is: https://links.namecheap.com/u/click?_t=[long tracking info redacted]

Tried following the link in TOR and on a virtual machine, both get just a 2 word "Unauthorized Access", but it redirects to: hxxps://accomplish-delivery . mysafebridge . info/WorldwideDelivery0/auth/dhl/index.php?utm_source=Iterable_Marketing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MKTG_CRM_Welcome_Hosting_D5_WF_20221118

Slightly modified it to make it non-clickable

I alway compare prices at domcomp.com Over the time, most of my 15 domains (mixed tlds, .com .net .us .xyz .in etc) got moved over to cloudflare & dynadot, with them both having cheaper renewals.

Is it that difficult for you to comprehend brand names? It might have been accurate at some point, but times grow and brand names aren't meant to be taken literally.

Ser, your name is satoshiiii, so am I supposed to think you are the real Bitcoin creator? or are you straight up lying to other users?
