CreativeCoder (@Doctorant2022) reported@Namecheap What's happening with your support? It has become completely useless and a waste of time! Every chat with a support agent feels like the agent just want to milk the maximum time he can from the conversation without offering anything of value!

Param Siddharth Manu (𑂣𑂩𑂧) (@ParamSiddharth) reported@tapasadhikary @Namecheap I migrated to MS 365 due to similar issues.

EMPRENDERATUM (@negocioclic) reported@Namecheap Several of my websites are down
-
Christina Panina (@ChristinaPanin1) reported@justdevopsguy @Namecheap I'm sorry we let you down. Unfortunately, we had a couple of global outages that coincided with the migration. The product is stabilized. Yet this is definitely not the level of product quality you deserve.

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
-
Gary Kriebel (@GaryKriebel) reported@Namecheap You don't release new software removing functionality from the users. Your actions will make me miss my wife's doctor's appointments. I've expressed the details to your support staff. I will be looking for a new provider. This is unacceptable.

Haters gonna Hate (@painkiller) reported@Namecheap what now ???? cant open the Private Email client , cant send emails ...... wtf

Pils10 (@PilsZehn) reported@Nishanttt05 Namecheap, but I like Cloudflare as well... Namecheaps support is tier 1 though..

SakuraAAH (@harunosakuraka) reported@Porkbun @spaceship @Namecheap 5/ The India Payment Problem 🇮🇳 Most top developer-recommended platforms (like Porkbun or Spaceship) offer great pricing but don't support native UPI. If your debit card lacks international enabling, your purchase will instantly fail. Don't let that stall your launch! Platforms that actually support UPI to lock down your name instantly: • GoDaddy India: Massive support for UPI, great initial promos, but watch out for intense checkout up-sells! • Hostinger India: Highly reliable local billing, excellent speeds, and clean UPI QR codes at checkout.

Richie Young (@Poor__Old) reportedAn underrated part of doing your own thing is all the tangential skills you learn. Just had a client from last year hit me up because their website was not showing online. Getting a "1001 error". Something about Cloudflare. Site built through carrd. Hosted on namecheap. Both renewed in the past year. Carrd reset to "offline draft". Namecheap added another DNS record. And it toggled ' on for the existing records. Carrd has its own ceriticate of security, so the toggles and extra DNS record were creating a problem. Honestly, I can't speak it the lingo exactly. But I knew the language enough to trouble shoot, find another back door tab in Carrd, and troubleshoot the problem. Site back up this morning. With a little help from the AI lords and the ability to speak(screenshot) the problem, it's all better now. Good start to the day. Especially after the little one was up from 11-2 last night!

Melanie S Reed (@MelanieSReed) reportedAlso, NameCheap appears to have restored all service at this point. The "significant outage" was due to a cooling system failure at the RadiusDC: Phoenix data center. Ah, those data centers...again.

Hez (@techbyhez) reported@Gaus450 i've stuck with namecheap for years, cheap renewals and decent support.

Mr. Fartzilla (@mrfartzilla) reportedIs anyone else experiencing this today with WordPress? Several of my websites are working normally on the front end, but /wp-admin and /wp-login.php are returning a 500 Internal Server Error. They’re all hosted with Namecheap. Anyone else seeing the same issue today?
-
Dodin Dodan Jr. (@pardiezzi) reported@Namecheap I am having issues with renewing my domains. Checkout says my cc is not valid, but i cannot find any problems as it is my default and previously used card.
-
King Damian ♤ (@damian_codes) reportedAt this point, I think Namecheap is rage baiting me o. Wtf 🥴 I’ve searched for over 50 names with dot com, and I keep getting “taken”, “registered since **** “ And when I visit those url, it’s 404. No website for them but it’s taken. How 😭 Is it coincidence that people have thought of these names too or something is broken somewhere?

Joshua (@Joshua_z0310) reportedHow to start your solo business with AI tools ChatGPT / Claude = ideation, writing, research. Cursor / Windsurf = coding and debugging. Supabase = backend and database. Vercel = hosting and deployment. Namecheap = domain. Stripe = payments and subscriptions. GitHub = code hosting and version control. Resend = transactional emails. Tally / Typeform = forms and lead collection. PostHog = product analytics. Sentry = error monitoring. Cloudflare = CDN and DNS. Upstash = Redis and rate limiting. Pinecone = vector database. Loom = screen recording and async updates. Notion = docs, wikis, and SOPs. Slack = communication. Canva = design and branding. Billbooks / Wave = simple accounting. The idea is simple: one person can now use AI plus low-cost SaaS tools to cover product, development, deployment, payments, marketing, analytics, operations, and support—without building a large team from day one. #AItool #AI #productivity

Alexis Lanetti (@Lanetti) reported@andyyen Same issue as namecheap?
-
Top Shelf Names (@TopShelfNames) reportedSpaceship seems to have rewritten everything from the ground up except for the domain search function which is arguably the most important feature, and the worst part about Namecheap. I may be alone here, but I find Beast Mode insufferable.

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.

mmdhsrc (@mmdhsrc) reported@Namecheap Namecheap is a truly terrible company. They charged me for the PrivateSSL service which is part of a hosting plan I was planning to cancel before the billing date. When I asked for a refund, they said the charge was non-refundable. It’s a rip-off.
