Namecheap Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Insignificant Developer (@insigdev) reported@tomilola_ng Namecheap sucks though 😭 Namecheap VPS is just Hostinger in a different coat. Low initial cost, ridiculous renewal prices as well, and a predatory domain expiration pipeline that funnels your forgotten domains straight to their marketplace auctions.
-
nicktnz (@nicktnz) reported@github @Namecheap I really appreciate your student offer but your support is rubbish!! You are both pointing me to the other for a resolution!!! What am I supposed to do????
-
CHIHEB Nabil (@NabilChiheb) reported@hridoyreh i use @Namecheap have arround 14 domains this never happned
-
Arsi Hoxha (@ArsiHoxha_) reported@adahstwt Namecheap for years then switched to Cloudflare and never looked back. no markup, no upsells, no drama 🫶
-
Cemal Coban (@uzakyolkaptani) reportedWhy @Namecheap Live Support need always 5-10 minutes before speak with you ?
-
Sharat MR (@cosmos_genius) reported@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
-
Álvaro Trigo 🐦🔥 (@IMAC2) reported@levelsio Yeah moving all my domains to Cloudflare too. Namecheap ui and price sucks now .
-
Aditya🌪️ (@aditya4f) reported@vishaltweetup i've never used any, but namecheap is the preference of most of the devs
-
Sanjay Lazar (@sjlazars) reported@baxiabhishek @Namecheap Name cheap is just that ! Cheap !! I’ve had a similar experience a year ago, and I never went back to them. Buy domains elsewhere and pay a wee bit more for peace of mind
-
GhostyTongue ツ (@Gh0styTongue) reportedIf @Namecheap had a **** I would be sucking it rn because how good their service is.
-
Matthias Reinholz (@MattReinholz) reportedInteresting 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?
-
Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reported@Namecheap the automatic billing system accepted the stellar hosting and declined the domain and refunded 22 usd to my account, after talking to the support i was told i was supposed to choose reactivation not renewal the money reflected today I was earger to pay for the domain
-
LND (@y1vl3vy) reported@the_smart_ape Tbh I have nothing to do with it. There are no clear alternatives for gmail. Every other email registrar could fall as well so no point into thinking that switching from google is gonna save you for sure. Namecheap can go down, microsoft as well and every other ******* email registrar.
-
Christine Harrington (@savvysaleslady) reportedMy domain was shut down by @GoDaddy on May 10th. No idea why & the domain was paid up for a year back in Feb. 2026. I’ve called twice a day trying to get this resolved with GoDaddy. Absolutely a waste of my time. I moved the domain today to @Namecheap but GoDaddy is now taking 5-7 days to initiate the transfer. I’ve reached out to @GoDaddyHelp numerous times with no response. Can you imagine providing such poor service?
-
Sarthak Shaurya (@alwaysSarthak) reported@nalinrajput23 I have tried namecheap and GoDaddy both but I never understood what is the difference between buying it from each
-
AI Tools Recap (@AiToolsRecap) reported@nalinrajput23 NAMECHEAP only. Godaddy has worst support system they ask you things like interns running support system.
-
Shawn McAllister (@entrepeneur4lyf) reported@RecursiveIntell @Namecheap @Cloudflare I wanted email service
-
The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@RealTripleA I know exactly what happened. I cc'd the "host" and they took it down to prevent Namecheap from seeing it. Won't give them the heads up next time.
-
Abhishek Baxi (@baxiabhishek) reported@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]
-
Resolver Vicky | Dev 🔧 (@resolvervicky) reportedCloudflare 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?
-
Gr1zZ (@Gr1zZtv) reported@Onepeg No one should reach out to them, they request your id to verify your the owner to take down content, you should go to their registarar which I beleive is namecheap and file a DMCA with them
-
Christopher Franko (@chrisjfranko) reported@Namecheap Oh ****... Nice! I thought I was tripping.
-
Garrett 🤠 (@garrett_makes) reported@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.
-
Essam (@EssamOptNames) reported@Karakehayov Spaceship is the best, namecheap and Afternic are the worst.
-
anderson (@U__anderson) reported@John_ACW @Namecheap how many businesses with actually good support can you even name? probably none
-
Bennico (@baro0xx) reported@Namecheap Fix your servers!!! 33% packet lost to 8.8.8.8 is unacceptable even for a server in Africa. Your tech support telling me to reboot and change hostname. They clueless. This is a serious production software. Fix your servers and educate your tech support!!!
-
Aaron Douglas (@astralbodies) reportedWaking 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!
-
Mehmet Ali Demirci (@malidemirci_gm) reported@Namecheap unable to solve CDN and slow site problems for over two days!
