So funny story, I make CC for The Sims 4 and a few months ago the site "Simsdom.com" was stolen and monetized (heavy ads and link shorteners). Just last night I decided to do a whois lookup on the site that hosts it now (namecheap.com) and got a page returning a redacted whois registrant name, but a specific address and phone number (in Reykjavik). So when I saw this post, my first thought was to do the same, another whois lookup on the domain. Well guess what? Same redacted info, same registrant address, same registrant phone #. This seems like a large scale hacker/scammer group that steals websites, and if they can't steal them, replicates them to a degree. I'll be trying to look into it a bit more later on, and I plan to email the domain hosting service bringing up these instances.
WHOIS privacy aka domain privacy - when you buy a web domain like 'google.com' or 'website.org' there's an option to buy whois privacy on top. Most domain registrars charge for this but Namecheap is probably the biggest registrar that provides it for free.
Anyways, when you buy a website domain you must give contact information such as name, address, email, and phone number. If you don't have whois privacy for your web domain, anybody can do a 'whois lookup' and find all that information out. If you're smart about privacy/opsec you would definitely want whois privacy.
I'm obviously not going to put his personal information here but I will say one of his domains is indeed not protected by whois privacy.
>The queries do go through JS. So showing that you hit the url doesn’t necessarily mean that you hit our servers with that request.
lol It absolutely does - you would see a log on your webserver with the request. If I hit namecheap.com?stuff=true its gonna show up in your logs regardless of whether you fire other requests off with JS or not. Unless of course you guys aren't looking at the actual server logs and some other type of log, but then your whole story starts to fall apart here. This isn't the only request either, I have tons of them in my history for that domain.
>we have full actual logs to prove this and would be more than happy to do so in a more official way such as in front of a judge or court of law.
Lol, Is this supposed to be some sort of thinly veiled legal threat? How is a copy of a text file that could be edited proof of anything at this point?
>
On the other hand, this still has nothing to do with your original post which claims we somehow showed you an inflated price for a domain that didn't exist.
No, but I can't prove that since I didn't screenshot before I bought it elsewhere. What it does prove though is that you guys were dishonest about having no record of the query. Which of course I knew since I searched for it multiple times.
Given that with a whois we can see it was registered at namecheap.com (clearly the sort of domain a government entity would use), it looks like it could be even less?
I tried to explain to an internet idiot that you can do a redirect to whatever you want from whatever site you want and that it doesn't mean that the end site endorses the first site, but they weren't getting it. You can do a 301 redirect and the destination site can't do anything short of legal action to the domain host.
- That's going to be hard to run that many tasks on shopify because you're going to need to solve captchas for all of them if they have bot protection on (which they most likely will). I usually only run 4-8 shopify tasks then duplicate if I hit.
- If you check out multiple times with the same cc, address, email or telephone, they will most likely get canceled. There are ways to get around this:
- CC: get virtual credit cards from a service like capital one eno or privacy.com so you don't have to open 100 credit cards
- Get catchall emails from a site like namecheap.com so you can have infinite emails that link back to your email
- Use random strings of 10 digits for phone numbers (it doesn't matter)
Just because we have your attention.
Registrars to use:
https://domains.google (never used them myself personally)
​
Hosting:
Digital Ocean (can recommend, great customer service), Linode
​
Many others could recommend hosting, but I've only ever used Digital Ocean.
https://zerossl.com/free-ssl/#crt Leverages Let's encrypt, just make sure you get a wild card. Also you need to own a domain as well. Should only cost like $10 for a year. Use https://namecheap.com for the domain registrar. Thank me later :)
No clue what the website is about, but it certainly feels off. Like other people have mentioned, there aren't any ads, and the spelling is horrible, but on the other hand, the lynks disease article is from April 2, and it's been going since before march, so if Alan was involved, this seems like far too much time to make the site seem like a bad news journal.
Adding to the discussion, the author pages are broken, and clicking on their links leads straight to the homepage, but going to the generic author page (healthsline/author rather than healthsline/author/author-name) takes you to a template. This template also has a list of the authors, and their post count, with one of the authors being "microwaze999" with no posts. microwaze999 is an uncommon username, with a google search returning only one email address, which has several accounts on random sites, with most related things being broken links. It is of note that this might be a red herring of sorts, as cleansite.org lists the email registered for everything as a spam account.
As a final bit of research, performing a whois lookup on the website, we can see it is hosted by NameCheap.com, and that the website was created in February.
So yeah, probably not an arg (unless OP made it, and is trying to get traction)
I purchase all my domains at Namecheap.com - the regular domains are $8.88/yr and I also have the Honey extension installed on my computer so it routinely finds coupons for like 20% - 50% off. I just purchased 5 sites 2 weeks ago and got them for just over $7 each.
I host mine on Bluehost and they offer a free SSL so I don't have to purchase one at Namecheap. Also Namecheap gives you free WhoIs protection so you could have it under a business name so no one knows your address.
If you are not doing separate hosting then check out Bluehost because you can just get the package and get a free website (as long as the domain is available).
If you are looking for the whole...easiest thing possible then go with Wix but it's a lot more expensive.
Hope this is helpful. Congrats on getting a website.
This is your first project. Take it slow and take your time. Since you are going to be managing the website for the forseeable future since its not on a CMS (content management system) like wordpress, make it easy for yourself to understand when edits come. Add tons of comments (every line if you have to)
As far as building it, if you know django, then use it.
Hosting can be almost anywhere for the static site. I prefer dreamhost.
Also, think about using a web builder such as wix.com for the site. I know it goes against your developer brain, but it might suit the clients needs better and thats what comes first.
As far as the domain name. Check out namecheap.com
$15/hr is fine for a static site, but I would look at trying to quote set prices next time. Clients like seeing the whole thing in front of them rather than a per hour number since neither you or them knows exactly how many hours its going to take
I just started a podcast with Pinecast and I'm pretty happy with it. For $5/month you get quite a few features including a website builder that's not terribly hard to use. I found it a little weird, the overall site's UI isn't the best, but it's definitely a great value. For the website, you'd just need to pay for your own domain name (unless you're fine with podcastname.pinecast.com). You can do that through Namecheap, which has the lowest prices for the less user friendly UI, or Google Domains which is pricier but easier to use. I'm sure Pinecast's support could help you out with routing the DNS, but it isn't too difficult to do. Just remember it takes a good few hours for it to go through, it's not instant.
I can't speak to legal requirements, but I recently setup a domain and email for the LLC I'm working on. I used NameCheap.com and it was, in fact, very cheap. (I do not work for them, just passing along info.)
I'm not a fan of godaddy, their UI is horribly cluttered and a mess but they do offer most services you might need. I've used directnic.com for years and they've been reliable. Namecheap.com is decent as well. I pay google their $6/user/mo to have a gmail like interface.
Yes, you need a mail server. You also need DNS. Domain names are pretty much the same price everywhere, but the quality of service can vary. IIRC A lot of ppl on this sub recommend namecheap.com.
Namecheap will host your email for $1/mo and give you a domain for free. Google and Microsoft will let you use a custom domain with their email products for a few bucks a month, IIRC.
Buy your own domain, NEVER have it at your host or developer, it's $12 at namecheap.com with FREE privacy listing. Then have a decent host that offers FREE ssl. Buy one if you do real commerce with your site, use the free one if it's a website with information/lead generation.

I’d say avoid this. Lol
We are moving to AWS Route 53. Even the registration for .io is cheaper there than at GoDaddy.
First choice was Azure, as we are already hosted there - nope, dns yes, but no registrar.
Second choice - Google Domains - not available in Poland, yet.
AWS - we already have some services (S3 backup) there, so we have a company account and everything, so we are going there.
Namecheap.com everybody seems to be content with, but I wanted something less US-oriented. ovh.com for Europe seems also to be ok.
Did I little bit of research on the website I was sent to, and it seems they are in Panama. They might be using a vpn, but I don't know if that works on where the website is being hosted.

If you just want to go with a company that has a website building wizard that also hosts it, you can just go with them for hosting.
If you're going to build it yourself from scratch or with a framework, my favorite webhost is A Small Orange. They also have great customer support.
It's best practice for you to use a different company for your domain separate from your hosting. That way if something goes wrong you don't lose both for whatever reason. Namecheap is a spectacular domain service. (Edit: sentence structure.)
For email I keep it simple. I own a few domains at namecheap.com so I setup forwards in there to forward to one of my "junk" emails. That's worked all the time. But I know there are disposable email services out there as well. I don't bother with those, I like having the junk forwards send to a junk e-mail from a provider that I can just monitor one account.
As for phones, I use "Burner" on iOS. Subscribe to a rate to get a handful of numbers and can delete/change as needed.
I just started more first store within the past couple weeks myself, here's what I did.
- Got a domain for namecheap.com. This is your address. Start here. These are cheap, like 15 bucks a year.
- Started a Square online store. Square is geared mostly towards retail stores but they have a Ecommerce feature that is pretty easy to setup. User interface is decent to work with, just select fonts, colors, upload logos etc.
The best part about square is that there are NO monthly charges. Just transaction fees. This is good for starting up and not knowing if you are going to make sales or not since you only pay if you sell. they charge less than etsy too. - Got an LLC. This is not required but I wanted to anyways, to help keep finances separately from my personal life.
- Getting accounting software. This is where I am now. Looking for something free and online.

Good luck!
All WHOIS gives for information is that it is a domain that has a registrar of namecheap.com and is hosted by a Cloudflare server. A similar question was asked about this site two months ago on the help subreddit. I'm not a tech person but from looking at the website I see a bunch of "reposts" of reddit stuff happening all the time (like a bot would). The user on the aforementioned help post stated she saw her own posting there with a weird caption. I would guess that somehow the website is tapping into the reddit api? Then reposting stuff it finds, putting on some bot word salad comment, and putting it out there on search engines in hope that people will find it and click, get weirded out, and click around -- every single button on that website will take you to some advertisement. Curious to see if anyone more knowledgeable about the tech has a different take.
Lots of things it could be. You bought shared hosting, not a dedicated host. This means hundreds of sites are sharing the same resources at namecheap.com. Why Divi? It's a lot of code to say "hello world" on the internet. You might switch temporarily to a very simple theme and see what kind of page speed number you can get. Divi doesn't advertise "our pages score great on Google page speed". Well, at least, I don't think they do. I went to their website and pulled 5 sites they say are running Divi and plugged them into Page Speed. I got 44,9,59,28, and 31. So, Google has plenty of suggestions on the tool's page of things to address, but you might be fighting an uphill battle, i.e making Divi get good scores might be like saying why doesn't my Ford350 get Toyota Prius mileage figures?
6 days late, but oh well... Google brings this reddit thread up while searching for the domain.
The Domain seems to be sourced from namecheap.com, you can file an complaint though their Email address --> [email protected]
Always google unknown or suspicious domains, never trust anyone, not even your friends.
You need two things, often from the same place:
a) A domain name. b) Webhosting.
Something like https://namecheap.com
You can use DNS A record (on a subdomain) or SRV records to redirect your domain to your server but you can't host the server itself on there.
The only truly free web host I have ever found is 000webhost.com and without a cc or spending anything they will let you host anything you want and it's availabe @ your-site.000webhostapp.com
I use https://namecheap.com and they have great deals on everything from shared hosting to VPS plans.
Like others have suggested, don't bother hosting your own email, usually ISPs crack down on email servers anyway because of spam concerns. I personally set my server up to use a token to send email under an extra gmail.com address I have.
I would suggest buying a domain name from namecheap.com and setting up dynamic dns on your router. (you can use free dynamic dns sites, but they look ugly imo). You can also set up mail forwarding through namecheap, so any [email protected] goes to your gmail or whatever.
Then user port forwarding on your router to forward the ports you want exposed to your server. I would suggest forwarding some higher port 1234 or whatever to your ssh port on your server, that will mitigate a lot of hacking attempts out the gate. Also, look up how to disable root logins in sshd_config, that will make it very hard for anyone to get in. Then just forward the other ports you want accessed.
If you are going to host your own website, if you did your own domain name, you should be able to get free ssl certificates from letsencrypt.org easily. Then you can set up apache or whatever with https. Your ISP probably has something in the user terms for using their service to host a business website, so you will want to avoid that. If you need a business website, get a cheap VPS instead.
I would suggest getting an off the shelf UPS and put your networking gear and server on it, if you lose power for just a few minutes it is like nothing happened. Depending on the ups, you can maybe hook up a usb or serial connection to your server and have some scripts running to shut down if you lose power, before the UPS runs out of juice.
For hardware, I just use my old desktop hardware when I upgrade and have slapped a bunch of HDDs in it for file storage.

Depending on the host, letsencrypt might be simple, or it might be complicated. I don't like using it unless it's just a checkbox to put in place because NameCheap.com has SSL certs for so cheap ($8 for a year of single name cert) that it is worth paying to do it the globally supported way rather than having to have an agent on the webhost constantly updating the cert.
As someone else said, the SSL VPN certs are different from the SSL MiTM inspection certs and you cannot used purchased certificates for the SSL MiTM
I use cheap Namecheap.com certs for the SSL VPN. They US$8 per year.
The SSL inspection cert, I distribute the one the FortiGate generates.
You can get cheap domains at NameCheap
If you would like to host your site on a VPS I'd reccomend DigitalOcean If you want something dead simple I would reccomend Firebase Hosting
My domain is with namecheap.com. I configured the same catch-all rule directly in their web portal. I don't have to run a mail server, I just forward all mail to my gmail.com acocunt.
I built my internal domain and I also bought the domain name from namecheap.com
I use my own internal DNS throughout my network, but if I have something that I want externally named as well, I just update the DNS records in the namecheap web gui for external connections.
My instance may be a little different, as my ISP does not provide a externally accessible ipv4 address. So I have lots of ipv6 addresses, but it would work the same, except I have a bunch of subdomains for my services.
>The things I have learned here: Don't access namecheap.com over a VPN. Domain names should be held tenuously (which is scary for an online presence).
This don't make a lot of sense in my mind. IPs update regularly, unless your paying for a dedicated IP. BY the logic, every user they have would end up locked out whenever their IP updates and they unknowingly access their Namecheap account. This is the same reason that banning redditors by IP is pretty darn useless.
The fact that you didn't get the email that the support person sent you until AFTER you changed your email address leads me to believe that that action was actually part of a larger issue - possibly with someone that has access to the account other than you (possibly maliciously), changed the email back and notified them to lock the account (and you out of it).
gratisdns.dk eller namecheap.com
Dandomain koster penge for DNS hosting, dvs. hvis du på et tidspunkt skal have et website op at køre som ikke ligger hos Dandomain selv.
I actually just made this guide to building a web app from scratch. It includes HTML & CSS, but it's built in Node.js. I think you may like it as a template to build your own website. You can check it out here: https://trysparkschool.com/tutorials/build-and-deploy-nodejs-app-to-heroku
And if you want to figure out how to point a domain at it, you can do that with this guide: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains
You'll need a purchase a domain too. I, personally, use https://namecheap.com
For the hosting part, you have 2 options: shared hosting, or a VPS. Hosting on shared hosting has the advantage that everything is done for you. You upload your website and import your MySQL database, and you are done. With a VPS (like DigitalOcean), you have to do everything yourself. You get a clear, empty Linux box that you have to install a webserver on, install and configure MySQL etc.
It seems like shared hosting for you would be the best idea, unless you like playing around in Linux.
You're gonna have to buy your own domain name. You can do this on registrars like https://namecheap.com (you can also get shared hosting here). There are thousands of these registrars, go wherever (except GoDaddy). If you for example host on NameCheap, and get your domain name there as well, you barely have to do anything. IF you use a different domain registrar than your hosting company, you will have to point your domain to your hosting/VPS provider.
I see - yes when you think about the audience/potential users of a service like Little.domains, it is true that they are very early on in their ideation phase and are likely not in a position to be spending much money.
I know Namecheap.com offers an affiliate program so that might be they way to go.
But, as mentioned before, I'd hate for people to be tracked around the web because they used my product!
Pienso que lo primero que deberías de hacer es tener tú el control de tu dominio, ya que con eso puedes cambiar de "hosting" cuando se te de tu gana (haces copia de seguridad y la mueves al nuevo hosting), para esto debes de pedirle el código de transferencia (o EPP), te haces una cuenta en namecheap.com (esta compañia es de las más baratas en cuanto a dominios) y el proceso de transferencia es sencillo (solo no lo hagas el mero día que caduque el dominio).
Si ya pagas un servicio de hosting, de ahí mismo sale lo de el lojamiento de tu página y tus correos... no es como que tengas que pagar por separado cada cosa (ojo: sí se puede pero eso es otro tema).
Ahora... si tu amigo no quiere actualizarte el sitio, pídele que te de acceso al cpanel de tu cuenta (y si no te lo quiere dar es porque probablemente tiene otros tantos sitios ahí que no quiere que le vayas a mover o ver o x)... o por lo menos pidele acceso ftp, con eso es más que suficiente para poder montar el sitio nuevo que te hicieron (si usas un CMS como WordPress, solo necesitas una cuenta de administrador del sitio para montar el diseño/tema nuevo).
Lo de redirigir el tráfico del viejo dominio al nuevo dominio lo tiene que configrar tu amigo en el cpanel.
En cuanto a presionarlo... la verdad no sé si haya alguna forma legal... no sé de esos temas...
It looks like I can replace email and few more things with a cheap ($12.00/yr) cPanel account from namecheap.com. Supports multiple domains. Has anyone done this? Is email reliable?
Has anyone investigated a class action suit against them? Even Iceland can't allow their garbage to continue. I have documented almost 200 spam texts with redirecting URL registered to namecheap.com. I have reported every single one to them and they claim to take down the domain about one time in 10 or so. But they really have no motivation to do anything but collect their fees from the criminals. I'd like to find a way to make that a losing proposition for them.
I have almost 200 instances of unwanted text messages with redirecting URL registered to namecheap.com. I have reported each one to them, but they keep coming. I'll wager that half (or more) of the spam texts received in the United States have a namecheap.com connection.
Any ideas about a class action suit? Enough is enough. They have made a tremendous profit off of this criminal activity.
Exactly. I emailed namecheap.com who are the providers of the domain and the ones hiding the identity of the owner.
I explained the situation, but by US law they are not allowed to share the information unless I can provide a US court order.
I figured there must be an easier way. Some leftover information that can be extracted from "somewhere" :)
After all, scammers are not THAT clever tbh.
I get exactly the same, daily phishing and spam all registered to namecheap, after hours of searching and trying to report the system is not great , they do seem to take them down but I found a study that discovered over 60% of UK spam is from namecheap! So they are swamped with thieves trying to steal peoples money, why they make reporting & tickets so weird to fill in I don't know but am now emailing the abuse@namecheap.com, hoping they will stop them.
However the hackers will just buy more domains so it's a never ending circle which is I suppose what namecheap want as they obviously are making money from the fraudsters! if they were more effcient at taking them down maybe their hacker business would move elsewhere.
Why they seem to let the hackers use their system I don't know as for sure I'd never consider using namecheap for a domain with this kinda history.
Go to websites like namecheap.com and Flippa to see how much are similar domains selling for. For example if you have the domain: advicewebsite.com you can go to GoDaddy and see domain with the same number of characters and have somewhat similar words. See how much are they selling for and go for that price. If the buyer rejects your offer go halfway. Else if you are comfortable with the price $199 you can sell it for that. :)
If you want quick and easy, try Shopify or Squarespace. Both can be setup in a few hours and have all the backend stuff setup for you.
For a domain, you have lots of choices. I use Namecheap.com. Avoid GoDaddy like the plague.
For domain email, first get a domain (such as Namecheap or Google Domains), then sign up for Google Workplace. It's about $7/month, but gives you business-level quality, security and tech support in the all-familiar Gmail format. I love it. Google Domains might be easier to setup for Workplace, because it will be integrated.
Now if you don't like the options available that Shopify or Squarespace offer (or need more than a basic website) or want to cut costs (Shopify is about $32/month for a basic site + card fees), then you will want to look into Wordpress. You want Wordpress.org, not .com. You will then need to buy web hosting (again, avoid GoDaddy), about $7-16/month. Most webhosts will install Wordpress for you for free and then you can build your site (youtube is your friend) or hire someone to do so. Maintaining a Wordpress site does take a bit of effort, so if you're shy of that, then just stick with Shopify or Squarespace and they take care of all that for you.
Pro tip: get your domain elsewhere, somewhere like namecheap.com. Then just point the domain to Wix/Squarespace as per many online guides. Difference is that you keep full control of your domain, will only ever pay the base amount (~£10/y, I've seen Squarespace charge £70/y for the exact same thing) and that you can point your emails to a free service like Zoho. Or Google/Microsoft.
Bottom line is keep your domain, email and hosting all with different services.
Also if you can hack a Wordpress theme setup, you'll be able to find under £30/year hosting rather than £140+
I'm in exactly the same position as OP. Since 2007 I've been using the free email forwarding (100 pack) from GoDaddy to send incoming mail to where I want it to go. The move to MS 365 means the end of Workspace Email at GD, but there's nothing to replace email forwarding.
The rep I spoke with yesterday told me the equivalent would be to buy actual mailboxes at $4/user/month [On sale - save 50% - $8/user/month when you renew]. Since I have [let's say] 100 email forwarding addresses in play, the service that uaed to be free would now cost me $4,800 for the first year and almost $10,000 per year after that.
This isn't going to happen.
At this point, I'm reluctant to give GoDaddy even the $25 for domain renewal. I'm also investigating namecheap.com and will move once my final question is answered.
Which is this: At the moment, I'm using smtpout.secureserver.net at GoDaddy for outbound mail. That way my recipients think that my actual email address is my address that has been forwarded. [email protected] is an email forwarding address that points to [email protected] for inbound mail, but replies appear to come from [email protected] which is great. What's the equivalent service at Namecheap?
Namecheap also has a discount code BYEBYEGD for those moving a domain from GoDaddy. I hope to be saying BYEBYEDADDY very soon.
The whole point of simplelogin is to prevent two things: spam and your real email from being compromised. Whenever I sign up for a service, I used for example, [email protected] in that format. If I see that I am being e-mailed too frequently, I simply disable it.
I recommend that you get your domain from namecheap.com. If you care about privacy, set up an email with either ProtonMail or TutaNota. You'll be able to use OpenPGP with Proton; tuta is working on Autocrypt, which is essentially OpenPGP. They still haven't implemented that.
​
To put it short, just reply to this comment if you need me to guide you through the process.
The more specific requirements you have, especially when it comes to extensions, the harder it will be to ensure reliable, cheap hosting.
With hosting, the whole "you get what you pay for" saying is EXTREMELY true. If a hosting company is offering you a plan for a couple bucks a month, it's usually because they're overloading a server with customers and assigning them very meager resources (which translates into pretty poor performance, usually). Your page might run great one day and be down the next day, and then be fine again.
And there's the whole possibility that they might do an upgrade without telling you, leaving you in a position where your scripts don't work.
That said, namecheap.com seems to be fairly close to the requirements you have. I just have no idea how good or bad their hosting service is.
I have a pretty cheap and slow host, to be honest, namecheap.com. They're okay though for what they are. It's considered a starter blog option.
I'd recommend staying with your host for at least 6 months to a year before you move, that way you have a better idea of what you need.
As for your site's speed, I think it's just a matter of images being too big and the sidebar in Edge. The odd thing is that when I open a private session on Edge the sidebar disappears completely. Maybe it's just an extension on my end not working with something on your page?
I only have two extensions, Grammarly and Headline Studio, so it shouldn't be a problem most of the time.
You can do this one of two ways.
- You can port forward the internal website address to your external internet address.
- You can install something like Parsec on your home computer and remote to that so you can get to the site.
A note about port forwarding. You will need to know the external IP address of your home. This isnt super hard to get but it can be hard to keep up with. So you would need to look every day what your IP is just in case it changed. There is a way to get around this issue but it isnt exactly something you just "setup" if you dont know how to use a domain, and dynamic-DNS providers.
Just for the information on how this is done. You buy a domain on a place like namecheap.com (they are the best out there honestly) then on a computer/server on your home network you setup dynamic DNS with that domain. This will then give you the ability to type Thisismywebsite.com into the address bar and get to the dashboard your needing.

I'd avoid going down the VPS route but the certificate would need renewing every 60/90 days regardless which you couldn't do at GoDaddy once you have the initial cert.
You could buy a 1yr certificate if you want to spend the extra money - NameCheap.com are who I use for domains but they also offer cheap SSL certificates too; their most basic one at like £4-5 would be sufficient. But in all honesty, SSLs should be free for all and not an extra fee.
I'd be a bit biased as I'm a hosting provider myself, but you could try a post in /r/webhosting for solid recommendations.
KnownHost + NameHero are very well reviewed for US based hosting or Krystal / GNU-Host for UK/Europe would be my personal recommendations for similar honesty and well performing hosts that I know aren't out to extort as much money as they can from you.
If you've ordered a domain from GoDaddy too then be aware that their domain renewal fees are usually 3-4x more expensive than what they can be obtained for too.
I don't want them to be disposable by the way. I recently bought a domain address on namecheap.com but I started to not getting my mails after a while. When I asked the customer service, they said the mails are going to spam folder and thus I can't get them to my catch-all mail adress. I just don't wanna face that problem again. I lost some money and a lot of time becuase of this guys.
I filed an IC3.

Honestly I wouldn't worry about supporting local on this one. I personally use namecheap.com, and depending on what kind of website you are building, you can likely host it for free on something like Github pages or Netlify.
If you just want to grab a name, you can search for "domain name registrar" and pick one that looks good to you (namecheap.com is popular). But I also just checked and see that Shopify has its own registration service so you may be able to do it all in one spot.
Wow this is proving to be rather hard. I tried installing Spike, Spark, then Canary from the Play Store, to replace gmail. They all look like their free, but when I use them to connect to my private email server suddenly the apps tell me I have so many days left of the business trial, then have to pay $10-15 a month, super expensive. Why is it so hard to just access mail (for free) off my private server mail (I use namecheap.com) from an android phone???

You can start by picking out a domain you like at https://www.namecheap.com/. I bought mine on Google Domains before I started doing r/degoogle so the process will vary.
On Tutanota for example you'll go to Settings > Global Settings > Custom Email Domains > + button. It'll walk you through the process. It's a matter of setting up the DNS Records on NameCheap.com to match what Tutanota needs to have access. I'd recommend setting it up as a catch-all, meaning any emails sent under that domain will come to you. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], whatever. A lot of the time you can setup different email folders to receive specific email aliases to stay organized.
Any time you change email providers, you'll just need to update your DNS records to whatever that email service requires. For more specific instructions you'll need to do a web search for that specific step ("How to set up email alias with X service" or "NameCheap how to set up DNS records"). Best of luck.
When you have built up a personal portfolio with a custom domain
Oh ok, so to get the interview I need to:
- spend like $1 @ namecheap
- grab a template website with a 2 second google search
- slap my github portfolio in there in a different format (which then still needs to LINK to github for those who want to see the actual code and repository)
Ah yes! Now I'm qualified to work at the company! My skills have been enriched!
namesilo.com are also using BitPay. We tried to pay our domains with Bitcoin and we ware forced to KYC procedure. We are considering to transfer our domains to Namecheap.com or other hosting provider, that accepts Bitcoins without KYC.
Get your own URL. For example Namecheap.com then from name cheap have your URL. redirect to your teespring. and now you have your own url. And Example of this is mine is HouseOfUltimate.com
A proper website requires 3 key components.
First, you need to have a domain. A domain is the address that users will type in to reach your address (e.g. reddit.com). You can purchase domains from websites such as Name cheap.
Secondly, you need to have a machine that will host the website. You can host using a computer that you already own or you can rent one online to use instead.
Finally, you need software set up on your host machine to actually run your website and do things when users connect to your website.
A "free" website can be difficult to make, but it is quite doable. There are free domains available online and you can host the website on your own hardware so you don't have to pay to rent out a server somewhere. As long as you are capable of setting up your own software, you should be able to get your own website up and running without paying for anything except for maintenance on the hardware.
AFAIK you can use a service like https://noip.com to set Dynamic DNS - meaning that even if your IP changes, your domain will still point to it. The above link has some free domains. https://namecheap.com also provides Dynamic DNS services.
Same thing here. Locked out, site is down, mail is down, cannot reset, cannot receive reset email because it is down. 50 hours as of right now. This is the worst support ever. Just because it is a cheap fee, des not make up for the two prior hacks and password resets and now this.
Our passwords are very long and not likely to be hacked. This appears to be at the shared server level.
We are moving all of our Domain Names and Web accounts away from NameCheap.com. This is absolutely not acceptable and quite a hassle. They are also in violation o their own guarantees. We will be seeking a full refund.
I hope that others form a class action against them for damages. I will be writing about them on G2 in a review once I get my account back so that it can be moved.
Just simple websites, no ecommerce, no cloud apps, just marketing websites that we support. They provide no clue as to what is wrong, getting to it shortly, etc. and here I am at hour 50.
HORRIBLE support. More like what support. They have no phone support at all. Chat is just a waste of time for 10 minutes to be told that it needs to be resolved by Risk Management.
As noted above, the email is gone and thus they cannot reach me and I cannot login as Admin. The site owner is listed, with their e-mail and yet they have not contacted that person to confirm that I am the Admin.
Horror story? Yes and completely true too. The damage done to my customers for getting no e-mail and having no website is worthy of legal action and if others are hit, a class action.
You need to look at your Hostmonster account to see what you pay for.
You should be able to downgrade it to just handle your domain registration, which is about 10-20$ / year.. As long as you can access the DNS settings for your domain, GSuite can continue to function.
If Hostmonster doesn't let you reduce this cost, migrate your domain to namecheap.com or similar, and you'll be able to keep everything working with just your annual domain renewal and your monthly or annual gsuite cost
If it's budget-friendlly you're after, then your best option would be to go with WordPress and Elementor/WP Bakery. All you need is a domain and a shared hosting plan ( I recommend Siteground). WooCommerce is free and scales well with thousands of products, it can be synced with Square and has hundreds of other add-ons that will help you accomplish anything you want.
If you're a beginner and you decide to go with WP, whatever you do, don't buy hosting/domain from wordpress.com. My recommendation for hosting is Siteground.com and for a domain is Namecheap.com.
There are some cons with using Elementor and the worst one is that it bloats your website with some unnecessary code making it slower but I don't think that that's something you have to worry about at the start.
I've filed an abuse report at their registrar namecheap.com, that's one of the most efficient ways to get this stopped for now. From my experience, this won't be the last phishing attack of this kind, unfortunately.
I mostly use namecheap.com for domains (they're a lot better than their name suggests, and have been in the business for quite some time). Much better than godaddy for example.
/r/webhosting should have a list and reviews of the popular of domain registrars. Most of the famous TLDs will have fixed prices anyways.
I went to namecheap.com and got my domain. Once you have it, you can follow the instructions on protonmail. I didn't know what to do, but it sort of walks you through all the settings you need to change at namecheap or dotster or wherever.

All websites registered with .finance domain using namecheap are automatically registered to Panama. Doesn't matter where the company or people who registered it are from.
Go to a registrar like namecheap.com and buy the domain (should cost around $10 a year). After that follow these steps.

Well. This is a wordpress subdomain. You can start work with amazon, aliexpress or cj. you will get fast approval. But if you need to successful affiliate marketer, so you must need to a professional website.
You can can buy domain hosting from namecheap.com . This is the best for beginner. They provide domain hosting with low price.
Then you must start with wp affiliate suite. I learn from there. WP Affiliate Suite is a bundle that includes a series of 25+ HD Tutorials, which teach you how to build a long-term and sustainable affiliate marketing business by building and ranking WordPress websites. You also get a premium SEO optimized affiliate marketing WordPress theme to get started fast. There official site - wpaffiliatesuite.com
Interesting stuff. If you do find the source I'd be super interested. I am a Google sleuth but have struggled to find much clear cut information on this.
As for the competitive advantage thing. I get that, and avoided mentioning it to keep my question succinct-ish but some domain name registrars based in the US do not charge UK customers VAT so I am likely to just use one of them..
Namecheap.com for example is the second biggest domain name registrar in the world (admittedly GD is 6 times bigger) and they don't charge VAT. I suspect this is because they are a wholly US entity with no UK presence at all but I am struggling to reconcile the reasoning as to how they can do this..
somebody registered these domains through namecheap.com and turned on the privacy settings... seems dodgy
Use Cloudflare instead. Two prerequisites:
- you'd need to ask your ISP to provide you with public static IPv4 address. Mine adds ~$2 for that to the monthly bill. Also check if hosting a Web server is OK by the ISPs terms and conditions (mine explicitly forbids hosting mail servers, rest is OK)
- you'll need a domain name. Check out namecheap.com, grab any that's on sale.
Configure your home router to pass all traffic that comes to port 80 to the internal IP or ESP32.
Log in to https://dash.cloudflare.com/ Add your newly purchased domain name and they will give you the nameservers you'd need to configure with Namecheap.
Next, create a single A-record in the "DNS management" tab at Cloudflare. Enter your home static IP address and make sure that "proxied" is enabled.
Set up a reminder in 11 months to check Namecheap. Usually $2 sale domains cost a lot more on a next year. Sometimes it is easier to discard one and get a new one on sale, rinse and repeat.
Wait a few hours and try opening your new domain. You'll notice that it will be resolved with Cloudflare's IP, but would actually be served with your ISP.
For professionalism, I would get a domain name. DadsDrywall.com or whatever, and create an email address like [email protected]. You can just forward that email to an existing email account rather than setting up an independent mailbox for now. You could get the domain name from NameCheap.com. Should be under $20/year.
You need a "home base" on the internet. This could be a web page, but it would be simpler and faster to start with a Facebook Page. You want to build up reviews, testimonials, and a portfolio of pictures of completed work. People who visit the page need to feel that they can trust the work your dad does, even if they don't know him beforehand.
You could go after individuals as clients, but that's a lot of work, and individuals aren't always the one that choose the drywall installer. You may as well throw up a craigslist ad and a google business listing since it's not too much work, but it might be more efficient to find companies that have the same client demographics as your dad but don't compete with him. You could build partnerships with:
- Residential Renovation contractors
- Painters
- Cabinet installers
- Framers
- interior designers
- etc
If someone has hired a framer that they trust, they're not going to look on the internet for a drywall installer. They're going to ask their framer "who would you use". You want to be that framer's go-to-guy for drywall. Offer a commission to anyone who refers to you. 5% of finished jobs, or a flat $100 or something.
Google Cloudul este pentru applicatii mai complicate. Daca vrei numai un simplu site portfoliu, va recomand sa folosesti GitHub web pages. Hostingul e gratuit. singurul lucru negativ ar fi ca nu poti sa folosesti code back-end.
Daca vrei si domain, poti sa alegi intre GoDaddy si Namecheap.com.

u/EndRobotRacism is sail in free tier?
Yes, we do provide a free Dynamic DNS client called Namecheap.com Dynamic DNS Client. It supports only Windows OS at this time. This software is not intended to replace any available advanced DNS clients and is merely provided for your convenience. You may use any dynamic DNS client of your choice that supports our system. There are many clients available on the internet. Some clients that may support Namecheap Dynamic DNS are provided below.
Windows: Direct Update
Mac: NC DNS Updater, IP Monitor
Unix: DDClient , IPCheck
Other: Java Dynamic DNS Client, IPCheck for OS/2
The direct links to them can be found in this guide: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/5/11/are-there-any-alternate-dynamic-dns-clients
Please note that Namecheap does not provide any support for third-party clients.
1) Get a domain on namecheap.com, cuz they're cheap and just as good as anyone else.
2) Get hosting at /r/hostkoala, a redditor-run hosting company that's quite good and quite cheap.
3) Point domain at hosting.
4) Set up email, it's included.
5) Install WordPress on hosting.
6) Find a video-centric WordPress theme that features plug-ins for streaming services like Teachable — Teachable might even have their own.
7) Make it all play well together and then make it pretty.
8) Install All In One SEO plug-in to get started.
9) Do search term research, etc, to make sure you've got the traffic you want pegged and then insert it into your SEO plug-in.
10) Show all of your friends your dope new site.
Then when it comes time to monetize it, add subscriptions, etc, it'll get a bit more complicated. But that should get you started and is easier than I might make it sound.
I would start with this article: https://sid-500.com/2017/10/29/powershell-encrypt-and-decrypt-data/
But instead of a self-signed cert I would generate a custom cert request that includes document encryption. If your recipient machine that you can't install anything on is in the same domain you can just request a cert from your CA. Otherwise you can probably get a cheap public cert from namecheap.com that support document encryption.
Install the cert on a server, maybe a web server, that both you and your recipient can access. You can also install the cert locally so you can encrypt the file directly from your PC and copy it up to the server. As long as the cert is identical on both machines (and they both have the private key duh) decryption from the server shouldn't be a problem.
Then you just need to figure out a way to pull the file from the web server decrypted onto the recipient machine. If you can use PS remoting then you can just open a session on the server from the recipient, decrypt it, and transfer the file. Or if you want to utilize IIS on a web server you can write a very small ASP.NET script that can either decrypt it with native .NET code or have it call a Powershell script to return the decrypted file and send to the requester. Obviously use Basic Auth over SSL or even Forms Auth if you want to get deeper into .NET. If you're all on the same domain then Windows Auth should work. Also check out /u/groupers comment about writing an HTTP listener in Powershell.
Overkill? Maybe. But if you do it right it's a solid solution that uses industry standards to get the job done with no third party software involved and nothing special on the recipient.
Sorry to hear you've faced issues. This doesn't sound right and is definitely not normal. Can you email me with your domain - matt[at]namecheap.com and I am confident we can get this resolved for you?
You can buy really cheap domains for less than $5 a year on GoDaddy.com or namecheap.com. You just need to come up with possible domain names and see if they're available for purchase.
namecheap.com's hosting has been good for me. very cheap, and getting wordpress going was simple.
I did buy the domain on domains.google.com, so I can't vouch for namecheap's registration service.
I've done what you last stated and that's buying a domain and using a catch-all alias. Meaning, anything sent to *@mydomain.com comes to the same mailbox. So I could have [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. This means I don't have to log into multiple accounts. Another benefit for the catch-alias is that when I'm on the phone with a company for the first time and they ask for an email address, I simply tell them [email protected]. I don't have to worry about scrambling to make the alias because the catch-all alias takes care of that. Another thing I like is if I reply to that email, it'll have the [email protected] address instead of the actual mailbox address.
You can go to namecheap.com (or any other DNS registrar) and buy a domain name for less than $5 a year. You'll have to be original with the domain name because so many of them have been purchased already. Once you have purchased the domain, you simply go to your email provider (Proton, Tutanota, Fastmail, etc) and follow their directions in setting up your mail account to receive email from your new domain. One step will include going to your DNS registrar portal and configuring the domain to use DNS server IP addresses that belong to your mail provider (the mail provider's instructions will tell you what to enter).
A few friends recommended me namecheap.com so I've been using that for a year now with no hassle, works like a charm. However, I only buy domains and then i host myself using digitalocean so I can't say if they have everything you want. But from one random stranger on the internet to another, I would definitely check them out! :)
Pretty sure namecheap.com's basic level domain name supports DDNS for around 7 bucks a year.
I use them for business, and have a couple ddns names hooked in so I can access specific network resources in the field.
Last mo na yung AWS kahit sobrang sikat nyan, feeling ko kasi mas magegets mo yung AWS kung may website/sample code ka ng trip na ipa run. Mas magegets mo kasi yung EC2, S3, Route53, etc. na service ng AWS kung nagdedeploy ka na ng website mo.
Python -> create sample website -> Dockerize yung code -> start learning AWS -> deploy mo yung website mo at gumawa ka ng domain using namecheap.com -> Start learning Kubernetes.
Here's an exercise. For $10/month, get a GNU/Linux host @ linode.com and get a domain from namecheap.com, setup a mail postfix/dovecot mail server, setup mail accounts for your family and friends with some aliases, apache web server, mysql server, drupal CMS on the web server, obtain a free security certificate from letsencrypt.org. Configure ssh access with keys.
Configure another GNU/Linux server in your home with two network adapters, router & firewall. Add some access points from Ubiquiti.
You will need to do a lot of research on the Internet to complete all those tasks above. By the time you're done, you'll have all the skills of a Linux System Admin and you won't have to spend a ton of cash.
If you want an extra challenge, install docker on a server and create some images containing some services.
Good Luck!
transfer your domain to namecheap.com it'll be 8 bucks a year thereafter and it comes with whois protection.. the others are going to try and charge you 20 bucks a year just for the domain.. you'll have to pay for another year immediately to transfer but it's only 8 bucks and you'll end up saving a lot of money in the long run
Usually you would buy a domain at a website like name.com or namecheap.com or whatever. You would click something like manage dns records and put in the ip of whatever device the server is running on and save it.
