According to https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/

A pay-as-you-go option for advanced features will be available in early 2024 for self-serve customers.

Users can continue to access these advanced features below our 1 million siteverify request limit.

So it seems it will be not so good for free users.


In Korea, they sell complete systems that do this. Basically sensor and HVAC and/or kitchen stove fan. These systems are built in high-end new apartments.


May I ask how much you were paying Stackpath per year, as Akamai "welcomed" you aboard and I don't think they are doing that for all customers?


Namecheap is horrible regarding legal threats and how they manage them. In my experience, they threaten to shutdown domains with 24 hours notice if you do not respond to legal threats. Although I avoided being shutdown, I almost didn't respond to such an email thinking the email from Namcecheap was spam. I highly recommend avoiding Namecheap for business.

Currently I migrated to Gandi with no problem.


If you search on hacker news there are some people including me who have bad experiences with namecheap, as they threaten to cut off domain itself easily when they get complaints. I am not talking about hosting, but the domain itself. For any large enterprise client, I recommend against using them. Right now, I am on Gandi and only use them for domain, even reading this I'd still pick them over namecheap.


Does anyone know of a good maximum price cutoff to use for SMS that would allow most non-fraudulent messages while blocking expensive fraudulent ones?


IMHO Google Chat is utter trash.

I don't think normal people will be using a PWA for chat on desktop computers and like it. The lack of an option for a normal clean native client on desktops is astounding to me. reference) https://support.google.com/chat/answer/9455386?hl=en


Finger check will usually only detect a huge prostate or rectal cancer(not other portions of the colon), or a rectal cancer just next to the anal canal.

Colonoscopy(can detect polyps BEFORE they become cancer, but more costly and hard for patient) is the gold standard for detecting colon cancer, along with fecal occult blood which is cheap and easier to do but will detect only more advanced cancers. For prostate, the early detection and screening is usually using done using a PSA blood test.


You can actually detect relatively small prostate cancers, even more so for superficial ones. PSA is not raised in all prostate cancers and cannot be used with prostate examination to rule out prostate cancer.


Should read: Cannot be used ^without prostate examination


My experience with namecheap is similar very bad too. They also sent me an email saying if you don't respond in a short time(24 hours) your domain will be revoked. Related experience: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14139288 I moved my domains from namecheap to gandi.net and so far no problems. I would avoid namecheap like the plague for any large site. Of note, I had millions of unique vistors per month on that domain for a normal legal site.

ycombinator uses gandi.net too.

and even if they obey us and internation laws, threating to revoke a domain within 24 hours if no reply regarding an external complaint, with just an email warning is ridiculous and not how other reputable domain registrars work.


Why should it matter how many visitors you have? People with 3 visitors pay the same and can be also badly affected if the domain is yanked at a wrong time. Especially nasty if you run email on the yanked domain.


I agree with that. I was just emphasizing the livelihood of multiple people and a whole business depended on answering a email from namecheap within 24 hours due to an complaint they received.


Note on recommendations of namecheap in this thread. My experience with namecheap is very bad too. They also send emails like godaddy saying if you don't respond in a short time(24 hours) your domain will be revoked. Related experience: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14139288 I moved my domains from namecheap to gandi.net and so far no problems. I would avoid namecheap like the plague for any large site.

ycombinator uses gandi.net too.

[Edit] Added 24 hours to short time


We also had a problem with namecheap threatening to turn off one of our production domains unless we immediately removed a page hosted at a particular URL. Apparently they had received a complaint from a third-party anti-phishing company [1] which said we were hosting a phishing page at that URL. It was a complete false alarm as we were definitely not hosting a phishing page! This would have been obvious to any human actually looking at the page. However, when we tried to argue this with namecheap support, they informed us that the only way not to have our domain promptly shut down was to either remove the page OR get the third-party company to confirm to namecheap that our page was not a phishing page (!). In other words, they would not even look at the page themselves and use their common sense to confirm it wasn't a phishing page. We briefly tried to contact the third-party company, but we were not able to get any sort of response from them at all. So we just took our page down. Namecheap support then confirmed that we would not be losing our domain this time, but shockingly followed up that if they received a single further complaint that our entire account would be shut down permanently as they have a single-strike rule. We promptly migrated our ~50 domains to another registrar.

[1] These companies are hired by organizations like banks to scour the web for phishing sites and have them shut down by reporting them to their hosting providers and/or domain registrars. Obviously our legitimate page was incorrectly flagged by whatever algorithm the company used.


Do you run any type of ad network on your site? The hijacking can be rather targeted (geo, device, time of day, etc..) such that you could never recreate on your own.

I still see this occasionally on otherwise innocuous sites.

Other 3rd party JS can still cause it, but ad networks are the most common.


No, there were no ads anywhere on the domain in question.

There was text on the page that matched the name of a large financial institution. My suspicion is that this caused the problem.


To save you a click, “short time” for NameCheap = 24 hours, not 2.


Didn't realize that might be annoying... I added 24 hours to the comment.


Not annoying, just thought it was interesting to surface since otherwise readers might’ve assumed they gave you 2 hours notice. (Thanks!)


I've also had a similar issue where gmail filed namecheap's domain notification emails into "spam" leading to a domain expiring; I don't know whether that's really an issue with namecheap or with gmail's spam filter, though.


It feels like we can find experiences like this one on any registrar.


Any company really.
