    @TinkerSec I feel like we need the "solve a math problem" drunk text limiter, but for namecheap.

  • yosoywil Wilson Muñoz (@yosoywil) reported

    @Namecheap what the hell happened to you guys? Being working for years with you and there is a big drop on quality from support and service that is really disappointing.

  • andrewbonar Andrew Suroor Bonar (@andrewbonar) reported

    We gave @Namecheap business email a try for a couple of months over at @agency_cm Spam was manageable. Service reliable. Interface is clean. Incredibly low pricing when compared to many of the other MBP's. We have now extended for a year.

  • unwoman UNW0MⒶN (@unwoman) reported

    I am cursed: I lost a (probably fake tbh) friendship over the Berkeley Forest School thing, and my website is STILL down because of namecheap forking my DNS. BUT I am sending my album to mastering tonight! Uncovered Volume 7. And it kicks ***.

  • BenjaminGJW Benjamin George – Selfmastered.com (@BenjaminGJW) reported

    Customer support for @Namecheap is ******* terrible. There is zero point in outsourcing your support to someone who cannot speak English & has to use Google Translate to understand. No matter how well documented, explained or detailed I communicate.

  • DrasticSpace Patrick McCabe (@DrasticSpace) reported

    Can you please help me @Namecheap with a ticket current with your Lego and abuse department (Ticket ID: EZA-103-63413). They have suspended my hosting account because I apparently breached the AUP, despite the fact that I only purchased the hosting and domain a few days ago and

  • BenjaminGJW Benjamin George – Selfmastered.com (@BenjaminGJW) reported

    @Namecheap No cuz I'm not a snitch nor your automatic customer support be of any use

  • arximughal Muhammad Arslan Aslam (@arximughal) reported

    @allisongrayce @Namecheap support. They asked us to migrate to a new server once and we agreed. We made a mistake and lost 100s of internal links and didn’t understand what had happened. Their live chat agent was good enough to not just guide us through fixing it back but also helping herself

  • TinkerSec Tinker 🔆 (@TinkerSec) reported

    @Namecheap @the_pebcak damn... that's accurate.

  • hnnation Hacker News Nation (@hnnation) reported

    @melfinious @GoDaddyHelp I left GoDaddy! Went to @Namecheap — support is WAY better

  • oxywashere oxy 🛒 (@oxywashere) reported

    @NFTherder @Zeneca_33 @Namecheap these damn web2 companies enforcing their web2 policies, uh? 👀

  • yinksy09 yinksy09 (@yinksy09) reported

    Social media managers use this service for Facebook Ads, bloggers use it for Namecheap and other online services. Those that subscribe to Netflix, iTunes and so on. It is sad 😔

  • silvr Alex Silver @ 🌎 (@silvr) reported

    @mikaela__caron If you wanna DM I can try to help you out! Sometimes this happens when the name servers (NS records) are inadvertently changed. You prob only need an A record and a TXT record on Namecheap to have Netlify work.

  • unwoman UNW0MⒶN (@unwoman) reported

    I just feel like me being a tiny bit hasty with internet purchases shouldn't cost me $1550 (Berkeley Forest School) or a 5-day website outage (namecheap)

  • nsajan साजन.भ/ (@nsajan) reported

    @dotsats @Sinqtr @Namecheap Yes it can be used in theory. We still need wallets that support names instead of addresses. As of now only Bob supports names. So there is a huge market opportunity for someone who wants to take an open source wallet and slap HNSD and a UI on top of it.

  • VicaryJames James Vicary (@VicaryJames) reported

    @wpagencysupport @123reg I thought it might just be 123 but I've seen some sites using Namecheap down as well. Causing us quite a few issues today.

  • pedroschm Pedro Schmitt (@pedroschm) reported

    @RogersKonnor Yes, Namecheap sucks 😞, if you forgot to renew, they do this. I'm using Cloudflare to register my domains now. Moved everything there.

  • Kurt_theTurk The Turk is staring into the ERROR 404 (@Kurt_theTurk) reported

    @Namecheap why do you guys even have an abuse line if none of the numbers work, and you don't respond to your support tickets?

  • CYBERdotGS Cyber.gs (@CYBERdotGS) reported

    I have a pretty bad phishing that is registered via @Namecheap Can you guys please check DMs?👀

  • flippantbytes NullFunction.0floor.eth 🦇🔊 (@flippantbytes) reported

    @Wii_Mee @Namecheap Yup they shut me down in minutes when I was testing stuff and I had to confirm I was legit with their legal dept.

  • lovelycandyowo SweetCandy233 (@lovelycandyowo) reported

    @Namecheap @larche_de_noe Do you support payment methods like Alipay for users in China?

  • eroxyofficial the man (@eroxyofficial) reported

    Hello, @Namecheap I can't access my account, and I have lost access to my primary email address /I was hacked and locked out of my email address. I need help to gain access to my account

  • marckohlbrugge marckohlbrugge.eth (@marckohlbrugge) reported

    Employees at registrars like GoDaddy and Namecheap often have access to customer domains to help with support issues. They can modify nameservers or even transfer away your domain. It's more common than you think. They get hacked, socially engineered, etc.

  • Tantrumfly Ruth Richards-Hill ♿♀🏳️‍🌈🐾 🇺🇦 (@Tantrumfly) reported

    @Namecheap does not allow their customers to backup and keep a copy of the website backup on the server space they are paying for. Especially when the customer optimises server function by compressing the backup files. Go figure …….. not good for business.

  • dotsats john.sats 🤝 (@dotsats) reported

    @nsajan @Sinqtr @Namecheap I think use cases are my way forward. But a use case that solves a problem.
