  • ijbguy abdul (@ijbguy) reported from Milton Keynes, England

    @UA0095 @Namecheap Wow, that's terrible

  • Babe_raham benje.e̶t̶h̶ (@Babe_raham) reported

    @Namecheap @foundation Following up on this, we've sent multiple full header documents to your team. Please expedite the take down–it's been several days and our users continue to be contacted by this bad actor.

  • akaamitmishra Amit Mishra (@akaamitmishra) reported

    @Namecheap Why you guys are just charging the **** amount just to renew the domain name? earlier the price was showing $14 and in just 12hrs the renewal price went to $29 howcome? And when asking for support they say we can't do anything as this is out of our scope.

  • iHeartMalware Ronnie "That BEC Guy" Tokazowski (@iHeartMalware) reported

    @sherrod_im You start trolling the **** out of them and publicly shaming them until they realize "Oh wait, people actually ARE trying to help me." Exhibit A: @APT_Namecheap We all know Namecheap used to be one of the worst providers because of this and now they're the best. :)

  • uzakyolkaptani Cemal ✪ (@uzakyolkaptani) reported

    @ArifRusho @Namecheap Yes I contact with them many times about errors, fake domains. They are trying to build good one but, not like before. For example no have portfolio listing, or seller page. I can not add info about domain. Registered tld or estibot calue not appearing always. And not true values

  • pekinwebguy George Morris (@pekinwebguy) reported

    F You @Namecheap I responded to the problem as soon as I saw your email, updated the email to one that was supposed to be primary contact so I see messages faster and yet you wont even give me my EPP key so I can transfer to someone competent

  • za_icon Afeez Adebayo (@za_icon) reported

    @Namecheap Your live chat cannot solve as much problems. They'll always refer you to submit a ticket. And when you do, it takes too look for you to get back on submitted ticket.

  • TmTCph_Whale MΞTΛVΞRSΞ (@TmTCph_Whale) reported

    @Namecheap Hi again, he left his fingerprint //bybltex.com <— namecheap //guild-claims.gift <— namecheap //tradeoffer.net <— namecheap //reimexchange.com <— namecheap //discordguild.claims <— namecheap //immutable-x.vip <— namecheap ( Down ) @Namecheap please look

  • techbitsio techbits.io (@techbitsio) reported

    @med_prodigy @jacksimone78 Mostly: the cheapest. If you're going to register more than 1 at the same registrar, then check the security/support or transfer to Namecheap. Namecheap supports developers - API is good, and you can test against their sandbox API (i.e. 'register' domains with account 'credit')

  • BillyE5150 Billy Earnest (@BillyE5150) reported

    @Namecheap The "team" has been f**king with this for days. They are clearly not capable of fixing it. I'm done wasting time with you. As soon as I am able, I'm moving my domain & email. You are tarnishing business reputations with your second rate service.

  • DoctorJayPeg Waylon (@DoctorJayPeg) reported

    @Makell_official but the businesses overlap and make $$ of off eachother. If handshake was to close down, namecheap makes less $$.

  • NamerTips NamerTips (@NamerTips) reported

    @UniverseTLD @Namecheap This is a VERY valid question. Considering there are millions of HNS TLDs, enforcing SLD use standards would be a massive undertaking for them. Both from a discretion and governance standpoint. Although not impossible, it comes down to whether NC favors profits or standards more.

  • AGreatDomain Bob Hawkes (@AGreatDomain) reported

    @ArifRusho @Namecheap I’ve only had one in past few months. The slow search, change in display, and error in TLDs registered have made it not as good as used to be for user sales I think. I like having the expired domain auctions in Marketplace but hope @Namecheap improve BIN user sales experience.

  • 1c4m3by MΞTΛVΞRSΞ (@1c4m3by) reported

    @wh1tewolf_eth @Namecheap If that’s true then they will never keep making these. New people in crypto have no idea and think they need to use seed phrase to sign in etc…

  • Making8 Adam J. Humphreys (@Making8) reported

    @wp_rocket If you want to lose speed with Wordpress use @nexcess the second worst host I have ever used second to only NameCheap. Hundreds of processes from WP Rocket aren’t running with garbage host. Support is absolutely terrible.

  • peterhenry34 Cephas Henry (@peterhenry34) reported

    I must say it, if you are still using @Namecheap for whatever services relating to hosting. Make plans to move as soon as you can. @namecheap now appears to be the most useless hosting provider ever. Taken down my website since Monday for just no reason.

  • michaelchriston Michael Christon (@michaelchriston) reported

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO DM sent, though (and sorry to say) given recent experiences with your company I do not hold much hope of any real help :(

  • BillyE5150 Billy Earnest (@BillyE5150) reported

    If you are looking for domain/email hosting services... DO NOT USE @Namecheap !!!!! After several years of decent service... they have jumped the shark. They create issues with their email service when their admin messes with it, but then they don't know how to fix it. BOO

  • ijbguy abdul (@ijbguy) reported

    @UA0095 @Namecheap what's the problem?

  • thecryptobushi Crypto Bushi ᵍᵐ (@thecryptobushi) reported

    @grantnieddu I owned a domain on godaddy one time and they transferred it off my account to another customer without my permission lol..personally ive used namecheap ever since then

  • jeannieomglol @jeannie@social.lol (@jeannieomglol) reported

    I have completed transferring the last of my domains from G00G to Namecheap. I also removed Gmail service from my G00G account.

  • Businesss365 Jenny @ BusinessSolutions365 Customer support (@Businesss365) reported

    @Weshare_net Namecheap, I am furious, your server keeps causing my websites to lose database and your staff will not give me any explanation. This is becoming a frequent issue. I need you guys to restore my website ASAP!!!!

  • dWEBmasterminds dWEBmasterminds (@dWEBmasterminds) reported

    @EnCirca @UniverseTLD @Namecheap main point is blacklisting bad actors, a way of protecting your own decentralized infrastructure, but still that bad actors can propagate the other way. So we need some sort to report them. Whereas, the inherent decentralization itself will kill it.

  • netidexcom NETiDEX 🌐 (@netidexcom) reported

    @AGreatDomain @ArifRusho @Namecheap Overall experience has been good on Namecheap marketplace but search is very slow, it always wants to update after every settings change. Would be nice to have an "Appy" button and more filter options as well.

  • eskimo_dev e.skimo/ (@eskimo_dev) reported

    Looks like gateway ruined the registry thing for everyone. Was told today that @Porkbun won't support mine, no response from @Namecheap, and haven't heard from @EnCirca in weeks. The only option is namebase, the reason I made my own since they were moving too slow. Pretty lame.

  • bryanakai BRYAN AKAI (@bryanakai) reported

    Eiii @MTNGhana quite recently your mobile data mishaps is causing some of us a lot of problems. Imagine as a developer hosting my clients data on @Namecheap . Since morning your network won’t allow me access their website yet other networks are working fine. Please work on it

  • poisonedcheeto poisonedcheeto.com (@poisonedcheeto) reported

    ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOSTING A WEBSITE ON NAMECHEAP HELP IM ******* UP

  • nickndegwa_G Nick Ndegwa (@nickndegwa_G) reported

    If only there was a service integrating support live chats from different platforms. I've @Namecheap saying "oh it's not us". Then @EzoicSupport says "oh can't be us". An integrated live chat would get them to blame each other directly and speed up prob-solving. @agazdecki

  • UA0095 Umar (@UA0095) reported

    @ijbguy @Namecheap Bought a domain name , just for them to “suspend it for abuse”. Contacted support and they said decision is final, no refund , no explanation.

  • Shadow_Alerts Shadow Alerts (@Shadow_Alerts) reported
