Feyijimi Emmanuel Olubiyi (@emmalexing) reported@Namecheap @Namecheap How can a database file of a website disappear when the database user is intact?, I need an explanation, yet you refuse to provide support when this is caused by you

KP (@thisiskp_) reportedOk this will sound like a hyperbole post but it’s not I have been using Instinct, the new AI assistant and it just found me ~$700/yr in subscriptions I forgot I was paying for. Real things it did: • Audited my Gmail and mapped every recurring subscription: ~$290/mo I wasn’t fully tracking • Found a “Universal TV Remote” app billing me $5.99 PER WEEK. That’s $311/yr for a remote app. Killed • Cancelled my AARP auto-renewal end to end: logged in, navigated the account, verified the confirmation screen • Flagged that my AAA membership ($121/yr) was duplicative because Geico already covers roadside. Cancelled that auto-renewal too • Caught a domain auto-renewing for $76 the next day and turned it off in Namecheap the night before • Found Suno at $30/mo I barely used. Downgraded to $10 • Sends me my kid’s school lunch menu every night at 7pm without me asking • Told me my car needed an emissions test before tag renewal, and that the deadline falls on my birthday. Saved a wasted trip • Built and deployed a tic tac toe game to my Netlify in ~10 min • Deployed a directory of 46 personal site previews to my Netlify • Designed 4 creative directions for my sister’s film studio site, then built the full site on the winner • Pulled my Netlify team ID from my personal account when I needed it Total: ~$700/yr in zombie subscriptions gone, plus a few hours of errands I never did. The underrated part isn’t the doing. It’s that it noticed things and proactively suggested what to do. Plus the UX was chef’s kiss This is about instinct. co, the app that’s all the rage on X lately Not a sponsored post nor am I an investor just a fan and early user

365krypto.x (@365krypto) reported@agent144x Daaaaannng I'm late to the party. I should of known when they did a survey, it was real godaddy focused. I've been 365krypto.x for so long do I hang it up? The quiet transition, on how they did it, hurts the most to us day 1s. Now they are web2, I use namecheap
-
mgear (@unitycoder_com) reported@HostGator suddenly charged ~103% more for my website hosting, have used HG for 15 years, with about same price all the time.. now doing transfer to @Namecheap to try them instead! *with free migration service!
-
Jorwhol (@jorwhol) reportedI use Namecheap to search for domains, but Cloudflare to register them. Poor ol’ Namecheap.
-
Kevin Guaman (@KCG3D) reportedi genuinely did not get the "hype" for this AI assistant called Instinct. if you have Codex or Claude, you can technically do everything it does. BUT, the problem is you need to download an app to your machine, make sure you got data/wi-fi, ask Computer Use to get it done, etc. Instinct just turned off auto renewal in Namecheap for a website for me. my first WOW moment was that it has it's own Vault, asked me for my password (like 1Password) and just got **** done for me. i don't know if i fully trust it yet, but it got it done over iMessage, accurately, in less than a minute, and sent a screenshot.

Paras Sharma (@ParasSharma_23) reportedAlmost broke down while talking to namecheap support as I was trying to return a domain that I had bought for a project and it was not getting traffic, well **** it, we ball, not returning it, I’ll keep building even if I don’t get a single user.
-
Hamid Mousavi (@hamid2108) reported@richardnavanda @Namecheap Yeah, seriously. They’ve put us through hell since yesterday. 😑 Our VPS went down, came back with issues, and even now one of our production websites is still offline. It’s been a complete nightmare.
-
Sir William Codey Best (@bbest12g) reported@dhh don't use namecheap they'll try and get a piece of that **** off money or w.e with a price hike after a few years.

SoccerGuy (@SoccerGuyUS) reported@levelsio @Cloudflare Namecheap is awful. Anyone looking for a better Google Domains (since they rug pulled) alternative: Porkbun.
-
Etta egbe (@ettaegbe) reported@taylorotwell When Namecheap went down, I wondered if the cloud in Laravel cloud is actually cloud as in if a data center in the US fails a data center in Europe can still serve our applications.
-
VictualBro (@Victual_Bro) reportedAppears that @ProtonMail is down for the same exact reason that Namecheap was down last week. Curious. Cyber attack? "Identified - We have identified a critical cooling failure in our Frankfurt datacenter. We are currently in the process of shifting traffic to our backups sites."
-
Ryan (@jrya7) reported@TimAllard @Railway The day I finally shipped my first app was the day namecheap went down 🥲
-
S️im Fleshulator (@xanthirus) reported@DecrepitProwl If you switch to namecheap you can get the email service much cheaper and renting a vps for your web hosting yourself would also be much cheaper, would just take a little more work to set up. I haven't checked out the site, but if you are just hosting photography you can get away with a lot less.
-
Gregg (@EmpiricalFBA) reported@alijcar @Namecheap We're noticing issues again too
-
Amanda Nevill (@NevillAmanda) reported@Gun4aaaz @Namecheap I have been told the new private email doesn’t YET work for tablets and other..I have the same problem working from an iPad Pro. Can’t get any answer as to when it will be fixed or even IF IT WILL BE FIXED
-
Celso Maiolo (@MaioloCelso) reported@Namecheap I have been down over one week now? I’m running out of patience and excuses. I’m afraid that I’m going to have to move hosting providers as this upgrade or meltdown has singularly destroyed your reputation and business. How does it take over a week to restore?
-
Alessandro Bogliari (@alexeidos) reported@Namecheap someone is impersonating our company using a domain that is very similar to ours. They are scamming influencers while using our company name. I reported this to your abuse team 7 days ago. no response. Can someone get back to us ASAP and take this domain down?
-
David Jennings (@ChilliDoor) reported@ImLunaHey @UK_Daniel_Card @Namecheap Kinda like how most of AWS broke when they had a DynamoDB issue in us-east-1. It's crazy how you'd expect these things to not happen at these huge tech companies but here we are...
-
Pils10 (@PilsZehn) reported@Nishanttt05 Namecheap, but I like Cloudflare as well... Namecheaps support is tier 1 though..
-
Michael Yousrie (@michael_yousrie) reported2 days ago, @Namecheap was down. Today, @github is down. what's going on guys? are the AI models finally breaking free?
-
Alexis Lanetti (@Lanetti) reported@andyyen Same issue as namecheap?

Shawn McAllister (@eas4ai) reported@Namecheap No… last time I had an issue, you said the same ****… kindly **** off.
-
Sesy Ai (@Sesy_Agency) reported@Namecheap I have the NC-GPA-2874 Ticket, but I Still Don't have a solution. I've spent 1.5 hrs on this, and there's still no fix. Can you please expedite this?
-
CatWard (@Catzwitch) reported@Namecheap After escalating through DM here, they were finally able to resolve the issue. We have been on with customer service chat since 9AM Eastern and just finally resolved at 5:15 PM. A full day our clients were down, but eventually resolved.
-
Jai (@jai_ozzie) reported@NamecheapCEO 14+ hours of business email disruption. Emails bounced. Business impacted. Namecheap’s compensation? $10. Yes, $10. Does @Namecheap seriously believe this demonstrates accountability to a small business after a major infrastructure outage?
-
matt guitar boi (@m_davies94) reportedhad a terrible experience with porkbun today trying to buy a domain email verification on signup didn't work (got the code, their verification form hung) then when I finally got past that, they required ID verification and my license is cracked so namecheap got my business
