The Namecheap link provided for setting up a domain name isn’t working for me… The page just won’t load and I’m met with a “This site can’t be reached” message??

Welcome to the forums!

The link is working, I’m note sure what’s going wrong on your end. I’ve linked the website below; try it from here.

That’s worked now. Cheers!

Hello there!

The link isn’t working.

Nevertheless I’ve found that they have free domains for students here: https://nc.me/

I guess we can do it also that way.

edit: it doesn’t work. What should I do? I think I’m stuck with this as next lesson requires having a domain in namecheap.

Thank you :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

I entered my card details and was sent to a confirm screen, it had no option to confirm without adding services(paid).
The site is not user-friendly, and I don’t trust that they won’t bill me in a year for a domain I can’t use!

Not very happy at all.
Also, they support the Ukraine, why get involved in war if you’re a professional company?
