I had a blog on my RPi and bought a domain on Namecheap. Years later the project died and cancel the renovation of the domain.

Many months after, I self hosted some services and wanted to use the domain again. I tried to purchase it but Namecheap kept it as “security against losing the domain” but to recover it I was asked to pay much more that I paid before when using the service.

Came with another name and bought it from cloudflare instead.
