    I'm a Global Admin locked out of my M365 tenant due to MFA with no recovery methods. Error 500121. I own the domain (registered in Namecheap) and can verify via DNS. Need urgent help resetting MFA. @MicrosoftHelps

    @Namecheap has probably the worst customer support I've ever had to deal with. I've been locked out of my account and haven't gotten a single reply to any of the emails I've sent.

    @rmastiyev @Namecheap 8080 works, 80 times out, fresh installs logged - "back to the same ticket" is not a network review.

    @levelsio When Cloudflare has had issues in the past did it impact domains? Always afraid to use them for the outages. I've had zero downtime from Namecheap and Hetzner in the last 2 years but Cloudflare has had multiple outages in that time.

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO It's been almost a week now since my business websites are down because my namecheap server is down and support team can't even turn on the server so my team can connect to bring my sites back up. Who will be responsible for my business losses. I hope someone from namecheap will show some courage and at least turn on the server which I am paying for. Also there is no phone number to call and speak to someone so only way to communicate is either email or chat. Such a horrible service they don't care what it means to a business which heavily rely on website and it's been down for this long.

    @dev_olayinka Im sure you had other cheaper options from the start. You know why you chose Namecheap. I will never use any other hosting server other than namecheap my bro.

    FYI I won't be able to talk on Matrix for a while, because namecheap seems to be down and doesn't want to update their DNS with my new ip address... I guess I will need to make a server on discord after all

    @GLAsk1d @Namecheap I shut it down for the night after I posted the thread. I'll get it up tomorrow. Ping me if you don't see me posting it before lunch.

    @milanm_ @levelsio @Cloudflare To add here, since CFs offices are in France, they overcomply with every bs EU request, even if you host a service that is US only. They won't do that for the content part, so namecheap registar + CF dns + CF CDN is actually best of both worlds combo.

    Guys, I genuinely need help ๐Ÿ˜ญ I need to buy a domain. Is Namecheap really worth it? The renewal prices are kinda highโ€ฆ and Porkbun feels the same. Any better domain registrar with low renewal prices and overall cheaper costs? I'm broke ๐Ÿ’€

    @MustaAras I think it comes down to normie's perceptions of Namecheap/Spaceship registrars vs GoDaddy. Very much IMHO.

    On this, social media is a powerful tool. I never tagged Namecheap support, but they sent me a mail offering to help address my issues. Figured I will be getting back my domain name. Good to know. And shoutout to the team at Namecheap whoever is in charge of support. Thatโ€™s how you run a major company. Taking lessons from this as a founder.

    Imagine losing your online identity due to a registrar issue. This happens because centralized registrars like GoDaddy or Namecheap essentially rent domains to users, who have limited control over their ownership. If the registrar suspends, seizes, or loses the domain, the user is left with nothing. Doma Protocol solves this by tokenizing domains, allowing true ownership and transferability. * Tokenized domains are stored on-chain * Transferable without registrar involvement * Owners have full control over their assets This shift in domain ownership dynamics has significant implications for the future of online identities and assets. With a total network value of $27.52M and 48,421 wallets holding tokenized domains, the foundations of a new paradigm are being laid. A new era of digital ownership is unfolding. @domaprotocol @D3inc #Web3Domains

    Unverified conspiracy theory: GoDaddy holds all these inactive domains through a shell company so they can charge finders fees and commission to โ€œfindโ€ the owner of the domain, themselves Namecheap would never stoop to such loser levels

  • resolvervicky
    Resolver Vicky | Dev ๐Ÿ”ง (@resolvervicky) reported

    Cloudflare Registrar sells domains at cost and they make zero profit on domain registration. It's a loss leader to get you on their platform. That's why the renewal price never spikes. Namecheap's first-year discount is a customer acquisition trick; the real price is the renewal. Agree?

  • the_smart_ape
    The Smart Ape ๐Ÿ”ฅ (@the_smart_ape) reported

    millions of companies forget to renew their domain names every year. you can just buy the expired domain someone forgot about and get a premium on it. itโ€™s called drop catching. where to find them discovery + filtering: โ†’ expireddomains[.]net โ†’ domcop โ†’ freshdrop โ†’ moonsy auctions + catching: โ†’ godaddy auctions โ†’ namecheap expired auctions โ†’ dynadot closeouts โ†’ namejet / snapnames โ†’ dropcatch (1,200+ registrars, best catch rate on contested names) the process: domain expires โ†’ grace period โ†’ โ€œpending deleteโ€ โ†’ drops. once itโ€™s pending delete (usually ~5 days before the drop) you can place a backorder. if more than one person wants it, it goes to auction. most of these never get listed for sale. catch the ones with real value (traffic, backlinks, brandable names).

    I later found out, you can no longer even register this TLD on the Namecheap website because they have sunsetted them according to customer "support" 3/

    @Namecheap I have a problem with you and the technical support is not helping me!! My domain I want to put it up for sale but through auction but the platform doesn't even allow it even they don't provide the simplest info about the platform/partner that can be used as a broker!

    @Arfness @1grid_hosting Just been through the drama of moving client domains away from NameCheap (in protest of their pro-Zionist BS). I need to find a home for novelty TLDs that Xneelo doesn't support. Can you recommend anything?

    @captn3m0 I got the same email from namecheap. .in domain never had allowed whois protection AFAIK but for some reason the domain contacts where all weird in namecheap. Had to manually correct it. Didn't know the domain would be suspended so soon. one week is too short a period for warning
