Namecheap Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • gingerbreadfork Gingerbreadfork (@gingerbreadfork) reported

    Registrars really are a mixed bag with abuse reports, @Namecheap is often fantastic with acting on phishing reports, @namesilo often aren't too bad either, though could certainly be a little faster. Then you have others, reported one to @spaceship in July and they took no action

  • topecodes Temmyisaac (@topecodes) reported

    Most Nigerian hosting companies aren’t really taking things seriously, with bad customer service, slow ticket responses, and constant downtime. The day @Namecheap starts selling .ng domains... Guess what? Otilo.

  • AlexBooth1987 Alex Booth (@AlexBooth1987) reported

    @Namecheap @imstoicbtw Same is happening for me, 500 errors or weird pages randomly popping up. Struggled to sign in at start with multiple redirect loops forcing me out of Chrome and onto Edge instead

  • Aladey Youssef (@Aladey) reported

    But here's where it gets crazy: Despite accepting BOTH payments, the registrar allegedly never processed the restoration properly. The domain entered "PendingDelete" status and was pushed to auction on Namecheap.

  • supremerumham Alex Edmonds (@supremerumham) reported

    @iamjasonlevin GoDaddy is such garbage in so many ways I prefer NameCheap, I bought smashingthemes[dot]com through their broker service a few years ago It was like $100 for the inquiry, and if the owner didn’t respond, I’d get my money back It was a good experience. Ended up paying $250

  • imstoicbtw Stoic (@imstoicbtw) reported

    I registered a domain with @Namecheap today. After a freaking user experience, I opened the dev tools. The website is the worst piece of engineering. Nothing is working, there are unwanted redirections, and every request fails with HTTP 500. I am not able to verify my domain. I may have paid a few more bucks and gone with GoDaddy or Hostinger.

  • Kaycee47512601 Kaycee (@Kaycee47512601) reported

    @OnboardGlobal @Tspiceskitchen That's how dstv customer care lied they've cancelled padi plan just for me to do yanga plan. Do you charge fee when loading the dollar card, do you charge fee for getting the dollar card. If yes, how much ?. What happens when a platform (like namecheap) regets your card ?

  • LorentzKonwo Konwo lorentz (@LorentzKonwo) reported

    Since yesterday i have been battling to migrate my Firebase studio app to a custom domain on Namecheap and it's not working anyone can help me with it ?

  • VivekLokhande99 Vivek Lokhande 🧬 (@VivekLokhande99) reported

    Has anyone transferred a domain from Namecheap to Cloudflare? Did you face any issues after that? I'm planning the move since Cloudflare's at-cost pricing is cheaper for renewal.

  • orenaksakal Oren Aksakal (@orenaksakal) reported

    @lepslair reported to both heroku and namecheap hope they can take it down fast

  • Namecheap Namecheap.com (@Namecheap) reported

    @apkmoder We have thoroughly investigated your claim to the extent of our capabilities; however, it is not possible to verify the alleged abusive activity involving the reported service. It is recommended that you address the matter directly to the domain holder or to the local authorities. Additionally, if Namecheap does not provide hosting services for the subject website, the corresponding hosting provider may assist in your inquiry. Thank you for understanding.

  • al_from_koii al 🎏 🔥 (@al_from_koii) reported

    This is why decentralization matters Systems that are down or minimally available today: - Cloudflare - Vercel - AWS - Figma - Namecheap This the backbone of the Internet. What the actual **** are we doing

  • Ma5terX Logan (@Ma5terX) reported

    @Patrick23N @ionos @Namecheap I got the same. They sent me a bloody debt collector for £66 yet I told them to cancel my purchase!

  • kcotenti Kristen (she, ella, hiya) (@kcotenti) reported

    **** Namecheap. They sent me an email last month telling me to reissue my SSL, which I did so I wouldn't forget. I got another email today telling me to reissue my SSL, which means despite following their limited guidance word-for-word, it didn't work. Again. Every F'ing year

  • OmbuONeal O’Neal Ombu (@OmbuONeal) reported

    @_FADAKA @GO54_hq They’ll call you to remind you of your expired domain name but you can’t reach them when you need to resolve an issue…. I’ve moved all my domains to #Namecheap

  • CrowdWrench CrowdWrench (@CrowdWrench) reported

    @TheNFTCPA I've ran a small b2b saas on a namecheap shared hosting, not even VPS because I need cpanel and don't want to manage a server. It has never failed me yet since 2016.

  • JacobWolf Jacob Wolf 🐝 (@JacobWolf) reported

    @Namecheap We at @beehiiv have spent ~6 months debugging this for users. When I first reached out to @Namecheap kindly, they told me they didn't do this. I looked further into it, proved they did, and then their support told us something we repeated to our users, which was wrong. Recently we had a vendor of ours ask them if they could make a change to prevent this from happening and they said they wouldn't. So spent an entire day's worth of time building a system to warn our users. Ridiculous.

  • no_fear_inc Mario Peshev (@no_fear_inc) reported

    A Namecheap autorenew didn't kick in last night and one of my sites was down for 7 hours. The email reminders confirm it was set to autorenew, and the manual renewal I did this morning shows it was set to renew. That's a new fear unlocked.

  • mahalaxmi_1 Mahalaxmi Calendar (@mahalaxmi_1) reported

    @Spaceship @Namecheap @ICANN My domain was SUSPENDED within minutes of adding a credit card for renewal. I NEVER used any promo. This was my FIRST domain on Spaceship. Offered full $12 payment. They say "final decision" — no proof, no appeal.ICANN complaint filed: 01490666

  • vedangvatsa Vedang Vatsa FRSA (@vedangvatsa) reported

    Namecheap’s (@Namecheap) support has really gone downhill. After around 10 years with them, I’m tired of being “guided” instead of helped. I often have to insist they just install an SSL instead of tutoring me. Thinking of moving out… any good alternatives?

  • SigniusNetworks Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported

    @Namecheap is their a way to synchronise Client Email App spam settings with cpanel spam filters? Cpanel is marking too many legitimate emails as spam & Bluemail says they being flagged before they reach the App & i don't want to login to cpanel & whitelist every other email.

  • loganflatt logan@bitcoin (@loganflatt) reported

    @domainpad @KenLin1985 I never show any stats to any buyer. I care more about exact match domain name search at NameCheap, not keyword search. My product is the domain name, not any keyword within that domain name. Spaceship should split the metric into two metrics to eliminate confounding.

  • combif1am combif1am (@combif1am) reported

    dawg my 2 domains are down wthelly @Namecheap

  • hiighon HIIGH ON (@hiighon) reported

    Day 20 build in public Founders social network @hiighon Founders can connect with vc, angle investor and big investor And also many add-ons like $200 For a domain name server for a year **** godaddy namecheap

  • jbzale Jb (@jbzale) reported

    @cloudglides Porkbun is simpler and has more human and overall better support. Although namecheap has support, your stuck in an endless loop of 'im extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused, let me transfer this chat to another agent who will be better suited to deal with your inquiry'.

  • basketbskt BSKT (@basketbskt) reported

    @datblutoast Yup, they give you a .myportfolio free domain or you can connect another one (they work with namecheap but you can use any service)

  • Sven2157 ❌🔥Sven ☠ 2157🔥❌ (@Sven2157) reported

    @Not_Firestine Dude ... do a 1 page site, with your dates and a newsletter sign up. Use your LWC contacts, to give you a couple seconds a show to promote it. Your biggest issue would be email, so you don't get flagged as spam, but I have a brilliant way around it. $80yr hosting @Namecheap

  • TheCouchtripper TheCouchtripper (@TheCouchtripper) reported

    @manish307377 @Hostinger @Namecheap I can't login to one of my sites just now. Just a loop. Did you get it sorted?

  • Ma5terX Logan (@Ma5terX) reported

    @ethanjaack Thats why I switched to Namecheap. Actually let's you cancel with a click of a button. And I saw that the support of the IONOS account replied and I am not going to respond as I know they are trying to remove the "scam" history in their name

  • krishnalpanara Krish (@krishnalpanara) reported

    Where to find them? 1) Well, for most of the time, we have had Domain Marketplaces at famous registrars like GoDaddy, NameJet, Namecheap,Dynadot, having Auctions and Drops. Still, the names that you might like here might end up in auction, and people tend to get competitive in Auctions. 2) Backordering a domain is another way to get it, meaning you make a contract with a backordering service that tries to catch the domain as soon as it drops. If multiple people have it in their cart, then you still get into an auction, and as mentioned before, they can get really competitive. 3) Direct Tools - Now that’s where some of the places that deal in listing Expired Domains comes into play and basically what they do is they list thousands of daily Expired domains that get deleted and list it out for you in one place, so you can apply filters yourself and find out the best that you want or like.
