Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Kurt_theTurk The Turk is staring into the ERROR 404 (@Kurt_theTurk) reported

    @Namecheap why do you guys even have an abuse line if none of the numbers work, and you don't respond to your support tickets?

  • DamianThompson Damian Thompson (DT) - I Scale Revenue Teams (@DamianThompson) reported

    @AdamSinger I literally logged into Namecheap & was going to take a screenshot of shame, but I couldn't pull the trigger. 207 live domains, 20 in the cart from earlier today, & 3 bids out on premium names. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM; YOU HAVE A PROBLEM! ;)

  • chrisogwumah Product Guy (@chrisogwumah) reported

    @MrOfoegbu Barter is my issue guy… no way to pay for namecheap hosting

  • arximughal Muhammad Arslan Aslam (@arximughal) reported

    @allisongrayce @Namecheap support. They asked us to migrate to a new server once and we agreed. We made a mistake and lost 100s of internal links and didn’t understand what had happened. Their live chat agent was good enough to not just guide us through fixing it back but also helping herself

  • chrisogwumah Product Guy (@chrisogwumah) reported

    @Namecheap @MrOfoegbu Okay. Fees is an issue paying with BTC. I pay a maximum of $0.5 in fees with my card to renew about 11 domains , but with BTC it can be as much as $4 to $13.

  • AlesandroOrtizR Alesandro Ortiz 🇵🇷🏳️‍🌈 (@AlesandroOrtizR) reported

    @Namecheap Hi, I use Private Email for a domain and noticed that I was able to login using my regular password with IMAP without entering my 2FA code. Is this a known issue? I would expect IMAP to require an application password, not my regular password.

  • TinkerSec Tinker 🔆 (@TinkerSec) reported

    @Namecheap @the_pebcak damn... that's accurate.

  • redwinewithpapi Oluwatobiloba. (Open to work) (@redwinewithpapi) reported

    I’ll drop a link next week. I’m trying to get a domain name from @Namecheap but @chippercashapp never clear my deposit

  • AlesandroOrtizR Alesandro Ortiz 🇵🇷🏳️‍🌈 (@AlesandroOrtizR) reported

    @Namecheap I understand that, but I would expect IMAP and POP3 connections to require an application password instead of the account password if 2FA is enabled for the account. That certainly is possible and is how most other services work when third-party systems don't support 2FA.

  • mr_govindsingh Govind Singh 🚀 (@mr_govindsingh) reported

    @Namecheap @EthaanJack Few years ago when I was your customer, your support team didn't give a damn and now. When customer feedbacks are not the priority for you, then why do you ask?

  • flippantbytes NullFunction.0floor.eth 🦇🔊 (@flippantbytes) reported

    @Wii_Mee @Namecheap Yup they shut me down in minutes when I was testing stuff and I had to confirm I was legit with their legal dept.

  • Premier_Domains Names Matrix (@Premier_Domains) reported

    @apedotc @xHNSTLD Namecheap knows how to handle that scenario! But any legal strategy or preparations by GW on this issue so far?

  • Mutant16928 Atticus (@Mutant16928) reported

    @0xKissinger @fern_crypto Not an exchange token. It’s a DNS protocol and has support from Opera browser and the second largest domain registrar in the world, Namecheap I don’t see it as a sketch fork but to each their own

  • 0x6d696368 mich (@0x6d696368) reported

    Ironically, I needed to log into my account to resolve a double charge for a domain renewal. Now that I'm not even dealing with the registrar (SWITCH) directly anymore there is zero benefit for me to stay with such a bad service anymore. I can recommend @Namecheap for domains.

  • Desonft emj/ 🤝 emojis=emj (@Desonft) reported

    You guys should open a lending service on namebase, I can mortgage the domain name, lend some hns for a short period, and then bid on the domain name. Because the speed of transfer hns tokens is too slow. @NamebaseHQ @NamecheapCEO @Namecheap #hns $hns #handshake

  • statictear Woody 🇺🇦 (@statictear) reported

    @CatieSai Not sure what type of site you are running. If it’s a static site you can use cloud flare pages and GitHub actions to host it all. I have heard good things about namecheap but never used it

  • marckohlbrugge marckohlbrugge.eth (@marckohlbrugge) reported

    Employees at registrars like GoDaddy and Namecheap often have access to customer domains to help with support issues. They can modify nameservers or even transfer away your domain. It's more common than you think. They get hacked, socially engineered, etc.

  • the_pebcak nonsense pronouncer 🇺🇦 (@the_pebcak) reported

    @TinkerSec I feel like we need the "solve a math problem" drunk text limiter, but for namecheap.

  • PhantomXSec Phantom X Security (@PhantomXSec) reported

    @Namecheap Always surprises me when a new wallet isn't used per site. Poor tradecraft, but not complaining.

  • VicaryJames James Vicary (@VicaryJames) reported

    @wpagencysupport @123reg I thought it might just be 123 but I've seen some sites using Namecheap down as well. Causing us quite a few issues today.

    Can you please help me @Namecheap with a ticket current with your Lego and abuse department (Ticket ID: EZA-103-63413). They have suspended my hosting account because I apparently breached the AUP, despite the fact that I only purchased the hosting and domain a few days ago and
