    @namecheapceo123 I used Namebase (owned by @Namecheap) to manage my funds. Three months ago, you sold the platform without notifying your clients. Since Namecheap sold the platform, I have lost access to my funds, and this issue has now been ongoing for more than three months.

    @levelsio @Cloudflare I don't like Namecheap neither (their DNS setup sometimes causes my browser to freeze). But so far all domain providers I tried were generally ****, so I kind of made peace with the fact that they all suck. Why is @Cloudflare different?

    @idxyllune To be honest I had no issues with namecheap so far, other than this one, but they did say there was a planned maintenance so...

    Interesting side-fact: they say the issue was about DNSSEC. However, in contrast to .com, @Namecheap doesn't let me configure DNSSEC for .de domains (not because of the current issue but generally). @grok does DENIC use a different layer/method of DNSSEC that doesn't allow configuring it on the registry level?

    @ChrisProd_ @Echotheglitch8 What Glitch is probably doing right now is probably consulting with the Registrar (NiceNIC, which they also don't use. Glitch uses Tucows, Namecheap, and GoDaddy) to get the domain taken down. Or, they might not be doing anything. Who knows.

    @MacdevM Mostly comes down to control and pricing for me Cloudflare and Namecheap usually stand out for clean management and no unnecessary upsells 🚀

    @Namecheap @Emiliosantoss_ @omarvvvr Don't forget about the 7+ Hour (ongoing) outage with DNS changes. Thats a big seller

    @BTCUFO It’s really **** that @Namecheap don’t let users list .ai domain names on their platform

  • irucsbo
    ... (@irucsbo) reported

    .@Namecheap stole my funds and refuses to provide a real solution or proper support. Extremely disappointing experience with a company I trusted for years. Criminal organization. Avoid at all costs.

    @Namecheap Two of my domains have been suspended due to a whois issue, and my email hasn't been responded to all day. I've lost access to my business email, and it's quite harrowing. [NC-QTU-9582]

    @Namecheap Never once have you reached out to me properly to verify my claims you know how to find my contact information. I’ve already told you where it is not affiliated with that garbage. Please reach out and rectify the problem. I don’t want to call the police department again😡😡😡

    @Nueltek a few minor inaccuracies here. > low-traffic websites the hypernova VPS subscription on Namecheap accomodates up to 10TB in bandwidth. that's more than enough for most traffic loads. > if the VPS goes down it's still more reliable than shared hosting > if one website gets compromised, the entire server could be at risk true. only if the exploit gets a hold of 'root' > 1 site experiences a major traffic spike cloudflare to the rescue > single point of failure? cloudflare to the rescue hehe.

    @Namecheap hi, all my sites and applications are down, whats going on. please update us right away

  • realsimonzaku_
    Dr. Simon Taki Zaku, D.B.A (@realsimonzaku_) reported

    What tools do I need to start? You usually need a domain, hosting, professional website, clear service pages, founder profile, testimonials, analytics, business email, payment route, content plan, and strong WhatsApp or contact funnel. Tools like Namecheap, DreamHost, Hostinger, Geegpay, ClickMeeting, and CartFlows can support the system when used with a clear strategy.

    Waking up to @Namecheap being down is not how I wanted to finish off my weekend. I've never seen an outage like this before with them!

    I don't know when the domain registrars will understand user experience is as important as your domain service. --- okish -------- - hostinger - godaddy ---- garbage ---------- - namecheap

    @Namecheap I have been a very loyal customer for 15+ years and all of a sudden you decide to not let me register domains and put BANNED on everything. You just lost me

    @matthansbello Sigh, everything was originally done on namecheap but I’ve now just moved the dns to cloudflare. Waiting to see if that fixes the issue

    Shant (@ShantDotMe) reported

    @Namecheap that security ticket is with bluehost, not you (thankfully). But 3.5hrs on chat to ID an IP is way too much. and that came after they reviewed the info I provided?? 🤯 I could easily rate this as the worse experience I had with your service!

    GatewayToDomains (@gatewaytodomain) reported

    @katerleonid No, I use Namecheap, Porkbun, Unstoppable, Regery, Netim, 101Domains based on the support for tld I want to register.
