babble encat<p>Thanks <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/Namecheap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Namecheap</span></a></p>
House Panther :verified_paw:<p>I just love how <a href="https://goblackcat.social/tags/namecheap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>namecheap</span></a> markets its shared hosting service package, Stellar Plus, as unlimited email addresses, disk space, and bandwidth and all for around $6.48 a month. Sounds like a bargain, am I right? Well, what they don't tell you is that you only get 300,000 inodes of usage until you've actually paid. What is an inode you ask? Well, it's a file. So, you only get 300,000 files. That's not quite unlimited now, is it?</p><p>This just makes me hate the <a href="https://goblackcat.social/tags/cloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cloud</span></a> that much more.</p>

Paul Chambers🚧<p>NameCheap used to leave your domain names alone while you were in renewal grace period. I did my bi-annual debit card replacement and before I could change it in <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/NameCheap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NameCheap</span></a> and respond to the email saying the card on file was bad, midnight struck, and they changed the DNS and IP to some odd "Pay or else" Parking page. Good to know.
