Sanjay Lazar (@sjlazars) reported@baxiabhishek @Namecheap Name cheap is just that ! Cheap !! I’ve had a similar experience a year ago, and I never went back to them. Buy domains elsewhere and pay a wee bit more for peace of mind
-
Kirtesh (@AKirtesh) reportedMy current indie hacker stack in 2026: - Claude for Coding - Stripe for Payments - GitHub for Version Control - Vercel for Deployment - Supabase for Backend - Clerk for Auth - Upstash for Redis - Pinecone for Vector DB - Resend for Emails - Namecheap for Domain - Cloudflare for DNS - PostHog for Analytics - Sentry for Error Tracking You can build and ship a complete startup from your bedroom in 2026. The barrier has never been lower 💪

Steve Bailey (@stevebaileyseo) reportedThe most powerful thing a platform can do is make you feel like you don't need your guard up. Namecheap does that. Not by promising the world. By just... not being awful.
-
DeepCantCode (@DeepCantCode) reportedGuys, I genuinely need help 😭 I need to buy a domain. Is Namecheap really worth it? The renewal prices are kinda high… and Porkbun feels the same. Any better domain registrar with low renewal prices and overall cheaper costs? I'm broke 💀

Edison (@CodeEdison) reportedGitHub — version control (free) Claude — coding ($20/mo) Namecheap — domain ($12/yr) Cloudflare — DNS (free) Vercel — deploy (free) Clerk — auth (free) Supabase — backend + database (free) Upstash — Redis (free) Pinecone — vector DB (free) Resend — emails (free) Stripe — payments (2.9% per transaction) PostHog — analytics (free) Sentry — error tracking (free) Total cost to run a startup: ~$20/month No servers. No DevOps team. No funding required. Just an idea and WiFi. There has never been a cheaper time to build. 🚀 Today is the best time to bet on yourself and build the things ⭐

Michael Knight (@michaelmknight) reported@cPanel Hi, I upgraded from ImunifyAV+ to Imunify360. I’m now being asked for a license key. I wasn’t provided one and I can’t find a key anywhere in your Client Area and under Orders/Licenses. Your support states to contact Namecheap and is sending me around in circles, but it's nothing to do with them as I purchased the upgrade from you and I can't send a support ticket. Any help would be appreciated.

exitLife (@imsmokingloud) reported@not_puppycat ugh no idea i just bought the domain from namecheap.. do u know how i can fix it ;-;
-
Shant (@ShantDotMe) reported@Namecheap that security ticket is with bluehost, not you (thankfully). But 3.5hrs on chat to ID an IP is way too much. and that came after they reviewed the info I provided?? 🤯 I could easily rate this as the worse experience I had with your service!

ChiseledCactus | Analyst (@chiseledcactus) reported@deanelazab @YayJayBae Hello! If it helps, it looks like it's running via cloudflare servers, and registered via "Namecheap". It still lists "Mediadroid LTD UK", with a "Jonathan hassall, but was dissolved a while back, so this is all sorts of shady. I imagine twitch and YouTube wouldn't be too happy with them continuously scraping content and causing issues, yeah? But is that even an option to try and rally to them?

Clément Sauvage (@clementsauvage) reported.@Namecheap locks your account Support : You have to check the email we sent Me : No email, dumbass Support : Ok write to security, they'll reply in 2 hours Me : OK, doing it ... 5 hours later... nothing Current status: no access to my domain, can't swap my DNS. I rly think they don't give a **** about their customers... a huge and deep f*ck you. Have you seen a worst company ? Tell me more... @NamecheapCEO

مركز مهارات الإبداع للتدريب (@cstcksa) reported@Namecheap Warning to all website owners and businesses: Based on our experience, we strongly advise exercising caution before dealing with this hosting provider. We encountered significant difficulties related to account management, communication, and obtaining support regarding our hosting services. Our experience raised serious concerns about the company's practice of relying on third-party agents to manage hosting accounts, which may leave customers vulnerable to disputes, service interruptions, delays in account transfers, or unexpected financial demands. We encourage all customers to carefully review ownership rights, account access credentials, service agreements, and transfer procedures before purchasing hosting services through any intermediary or agent. We have documented our experience and reserve the right to pursue the matter through the appropriate regulatory and legal channels.

Georgii Tselkovskii (@Existentios) reportedIt has never been cheaper to build a startup. Claude for coding — $20/mo Supabase for backend — free Vercel for deploys — free Namecheap for domain — $20/yr Stripe for payments — % only GitHub for version control — free Resend for emails — free Clerk for auth — free Cloudflare for DNS — free PostHog for analytics — free Sentry for error tracking — free Upstash for Redis — free Pinecone for vector DB — free You can literally launch with ~$20/month. The hard part is no longer building. The hard part is getting people to care.

K S (@kj_kjato) reported@Namecheap Never once have you reached out to me properly to verify my claims you know how to find my contact information. I’ve already told you where it is not affiliated with that garbage. Please reach out and rectify the problem. I don’t want to call the police department again😡😡😡

Devon Wayne (@TheDevonWayne) reported@PratikSinhatwt namecheap never godaddy ever again
-
The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@Namecheap So, you are not going to take action against the domain simply because it removed the subdomain? The root domain is the threat, and it continues to create subdomains with this content. This is not an isolated issue.

Nitish (@nitishxk) reportedtoday i learned how to make a website landing page using @claudeai added all my affiliate links in it namecheap domain for 11CAD uploaded index.html hosted on netlify added custom DNS verified SSL made 2 changes already site is mobile responsive **** beacons page

WOLF ✨️ (@Bilal_abbasid) reported@Namecheap Reply to the ******* mails you pathetic customer support clowns
-
Ramil Mastiyev (@rmastiyev) reported@Namecheap Almost a day 'fighting' with your tech team about port 80 blocked (VPS). Proof: fresh installs, external tests, logs — packets time out externally on :80 while :8080 works! Your team just points back at me. Can someone from your network/infra team really look at this?
-
Adam Holter (@AdamHoltererer) reported@gauravsapkotanp Definitely not Namecheap, because @theo said they were bad and scammy.

GatewayToDomains (@gatewaytodomain) reported@katerleonid No, I use Namecheap, Porkbun, Unstoppable, Regery, Netim, 101Domains based on the support for tld I want to register.
-
Kingsley Ibietela Felix (@Iamkingsleyf) reported@adahstwt Namecheap, first on the list should never be there
-
Adam Maysonet (@synozeer) reported@TopShelfNames @spaceship If someone typed in the domain in their browser bar, they would have seen an Afternic lander. The person instead searched for the domain on Namecheap/Spaceship and bought it that way (aka. reg path), so they may never have even seen the lander.
-
timagixe (@timagixe) reportedi remember the first time I bought domain on NameCheap the first thing I did in 10 minutes - transferred domain to CloudFlare luckily to me it was .com - so no issues with that
-
Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reported@Namecheap the automatic billing system accepted the stellar hosting and declined the domain and refunded 22 usd to my account, after talking to the support i was told i was supposed to choose reactivation not renewal the money reflected today I was earger to pay for the domain

D̸̖͌a̶̞͊r̷̙͒k̶͇͝ḽ̸̃ÿ̸͈́ (@ADesignerDarkly) reported@Hexangelo5 You are right about that! Pulsechain,com is registered through there, as are lots of other pulsechain project websites. While Namecheap built its brand on privacy advocacy (e.g., fighting for customer data protection in courts), control now sits largely with a Luxembourg-based PE giant whose incentives are financial returns, not ideological privacy maximalism. The registrant data required by ICANN lives in a system where EU corporate oversight meets US legal demands. In an era of rising data breaches, surveillance, and regulatory flux, relying on any large registrar under PE ownership means trusting opaque boardroom decisions with your identity footprint. Diversifying to independent or privacy-first alternatives reduces single points of failure.
