Namecheap Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SHurleyHall Sharon Hurley Hall (@SHurleyHall) reported

    It was a pretty smooth process. I bought the domain name from Namecheap a few weeks ago, and today I decided to add it to Substack. I think in all it took just over 30 minutes to go live, and all links immediately redirected (at least I haven't found any broken yet) 2/9

  • EasyWP EasyWP (@EasyWP) reported

    @CryptoGoutch @Namecheap We are having an internal system issue, causing dashboard slowness. Apologies for this and we'll update with an ETA for resolution shortly.

  • abdulversatile shaikh abdul rahman (@abdulversatile) reported

    @Namecheap I am website developer, my client using namecheap. Problem is each and everytime i have to request for verification code with him. It's hectic

  • DaveCharbonneau Dave Charbonneau (not the astronomer) (@DaveCharbonneau) reported

    @Namecheap Just a quick note: Telling me a service is $7.88/yr in an email without disclosing that's the FIVE YEAR PRICE is dishonest. I appreciate the 50% Off hush-money discount, but just please be honest the first time, k?

  • SMAlternative_ Social Media Alternative (@SMAlternative_) reported

    @Namecheap please make sure to take down this website

  • mariabrophy Maria Brophy (@mariabrophy) reported

    @ketoverlock me too - someone bought a domain from Namecheap and fraudulently CLONED my website and they won't help take it down. The fake site even has my personal cell phone number on it

  • misangela Angela PM (@misangela) reported

    @Namecheap I KNOW. TRUST ME. I KNOW how crappy your system is. As I said, EVEN Network Solutions will let you turn it off if you wish. Your "security" is a hindrance. And you know it. Just do a verification like Google and be done with it. *I* have to get a code for my own acct!!! #stupid

  • Spam404 Spam404 (@Spam404) reported

    Can this be fixed? We remain optimistic! There's hosting companies larger than Namecheap out there. We don't see the same problems when reporting to those. Most are extremely responsive and proactive. Some have abuse APIs, allowing trusted companies to get expedited review.

  • veekci vᴇᴇkci (@veekci) reported

    @Namecheap Just received a second Royal Mail SMS scam being hosting via your service, please stop allowing these criminals access to your service!

  • ThejideGrand XO🧔🏼 (@ThejideGrand) reported from Toronto, Ontario

    @Namecheap won’t take action even if you reported fraud of domain bought and hosted with their cloud. #bad

  • docelm0 Molon Labe (@docelm0) reported

    @Namecheap @Tactical_review Pound sand your service sucks. Support is worse.

  • goldenTwine Subrato Paul (@goldenTwine) reported

    @Namecheap I have submitted a ticket. Your host, Google Captcha login, mobile pin - all harassment.

  • chidumebi Dumebi (@chidumebi) reported

    How @Namecheap can provide customer service at scale should be a course in Harvard. 👌👌👌

  • cailinkins Cailín Walsh 🍀 (@cailinkins) reported

    I finally managed to work up the mental energy required to deal with transferring all my Namecheap **** over to a new account just so my account wouldn't be under my deadname so that was fun.

  • progamusian chance is they/them (@progamusian) reported

    @sjgayauthor I recommend SquareSpace if you can’t be bothered to do a bit of ***** work. Otherwise Namecheap has a really good website service. the service is super cheap, domains are cheap, and it’s easy to get SSL certificates. ZeroSSL is where you can get SSL for free

  • cailinkins Cailín Walsh 🍀 (@cailinkins) reported

    @gennyble No payment required because it was Namecheap to Namecheap. Just an annoying manual intervention step involving contacting support required.

  • NathanFromPA Nathan Snyder (@NathanFromPA) reported

    @Namecheap I get a 500 server error when trying to navigate to `/myaccount/login/` in Firefox. Works in Chrome for some reason (both on Mac OS), but thought I'd let you know.

  • tfoale QuantumChoices 3.5% #FBPE 🔶️ (@tfoale) reported

    @michielhoefsmit @archer_rs Namecheap is the registrar that cybercriminals often use - because it's cheap and doesn't take down very fast. The personal details hiding service they now use is Withheld For Privacy (otherwise personal details are visible on WHOIS). No idea why this uses an Iceland domain.

  • chaintuts chaintuts - Crypto & Blockchain Education (@chaintuts) reported

    I don't like Twitter call-outs but since your abuse department failed miserably in this case (and probably others) - this warrants public attention. @Namecheap If you need someone from the industry to train your abuse people on these scam operations, I will help!

  • TrulyJuxta Geoff Porter The Vine Doombringer (@TrulyJuxta) reported

    real issues trying to get google to index a free site BlogSpot and Blogger, google companies, no My buddy told me if you have a custom domain on blogspot it'll index you, but I got no proof I'm using namecheap and their wordpress hosting last time I checked google indexes me

  • misangela Angela PM (@misangela) reported

    @Namecheap Allow users to turn OFF 2 factor auth. Period. It makes my job impossible to do (I admin MANY sites/domains for people). Even Network Solutions lets you turn that crap OFF.

  • goldenTwine Subrato Paul (@goldenTwine) reported

    @Namecheap In the name of support, you refer me to knowledgebase.

  • haroldwrites Harold (@haroldwrites) reported

    I stopped receiving emails on an email I got from namecheap. Did some research, found how to resolve it, but man, it was so techy. Thought of coming here to beg techy tweeps to help, but eventually chose to do it myself. And I did! I fixed the issue! Time to open my tech company.

  • ronaldfvaldez Ronald F. Valdez (@ronaldfvaldez) reported

    @Namecheap has the worst customer service! I learned my lesson. Do not pay for a domain NAME for CHEAP. Pay for value. Buy from @Porkbun or @GoDaddy. I now learn from this nightmare, NAMECHEAP is (its in the name) CHEAP.

  • shayanhussaiin Shayan Hussain (@shayanhussaiin) reported

    Hi @Namecheap We are a full regular customer of Namecheap but the problem is of Inodes Usage. In Every hosting we reached 300,000 Inodes, we know we can clear a little bit also So I request you to create a special plan for us so that there will be unlimited inodes present there.

  • dcuthbert Daniel Cuthbert (@dcuthbert) reported

    @notameadow I'm shocked, another @Namecheap service being used for criminal gains.

  • TrueDarkness420 TrueDarkness ✨ (@TrueDarkness420) reported

    @FrankRo10101328 @dennisivy11 I'm using a small hosting company that charges $12 a year with python, nodejs & php support. While namecheap charges more than $50 a year

  • akashmagrawal Akash Agrawal (@akashmagrawal) reported

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO You and your team has worst customer support. my ticket is waiting for reply for last 96 hours and your team is telling we can't help. Is this a way to treat enterprise customer. #INM-408-48193

  • mariabrophy Maria Brophy (@mariabrophy) reported

    Never, ever use @Namecheap they have the absolute WORST customer service ever.
