  @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO @ICANN Your antiabuse team seems to be adamant in allowing captcha farming promotion as legitimate service. Is this really something you allow in your registrar and hosting services?

  @Namecheap No problem.

  @domainicate @domainapebot @GoDaddy I moved all my sites from GD to Namecheap and on the long run, I saved a lot. As I don't have to pay monthly fees etc. Also, customer service is better than I experienced with GD...

  @Namecheap @MrUndacavaaa @0xOurea Seems to be down now.

  @SheDrills @GoDaddy Namecheap and Bluehost. I’ve used both in the past to buy domains and have never had a problem. Bluehost in particular has had great customer service. Can’t recommend them enough

  @Namecheap Had 5 sites down. Came back up during chat with support on their own. Can’t tell how long they were down. Appears to be no way to know what went wrong. Not great.

  @unpavedpath @ImMattDavison Thankfully I migrated from GoDaddy (legacy customer since ~2006) to NameCheap, so all my domains are in the same registrar, and I use CloudFlare for Free DNS for all of them, I have DNSsec enabled, and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for maximum security (on free tier)

  Namecheap, your website sucks. What do you have running on there that triggers my laptop fan EVERY TIME I try to make a single DNS record edit? It's still spinning as I tweet because your site AND JUST YOUR site has frozen in my browser AGAIN.

  @Namecheap @wdormann @1ZRR4H Update: the other redirector domain as expected got taken down now too. So both redirector domains and the final domain are all down now, just within a few hours of registration and even less of when the ad campaigns got live...

  Tech Peeps: Who is your favorite registrar? Just tried @Namecheap and their idea of "first contact" with a new customer was to defraud me by charging the credit card then hijacking the domain names and offering them for sale back to me.

  @DocsDead Cause we never heard of NameCheap, lol

  Relaxed Leaf (@relaxed_leaf) reported 28 minutes ago

  @karvel1305 Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately I am not using cloud. I have VPS hosted by Namecheap. Yeah the issue is so weird, I am just gonna wait until tomorrow to see if it would fix itself lol

  Never, EVER do business with @Namecheap.

  @ughhblog Buying your domain names and claiming social media names (even if you don't use the platform) is great advice. Any reason you're suggesting that name registrar over more established ones like Namecheap? I've never heard of Enzo.

  TheBruceBates (@TheBruceBates) reported 32 minutes ago

  @Namecheap They are claiming a 503 msg is a server side caching issue (hint the only thing server side about it, is one can set expiration times for cache). Its a client issue that only the client can clear. No amount of server cache removal will ever remove the client cache of a url.

  The domain network.decentralize was just registered on Namecheap.

  @EricDaCoder @GoDaddy @Namecheap Ye just heard this also and I had a check, looks v cheap! My only concern is if they support every domain extension I might be moving domains to there 👀

  Marina (@marinatrajk) reported 43 minutes ago

  @agogiglio I wouldn't use anything but google domains in the future. All the emails that I send from a domain bought from namecheap and godaddy are going to spam. I waste so much money and time to train the emails... never had this issue with a google domain. Weird but true.

  @Namecheap When are you going to cut the crap and stop hosting scammers ? scammers money is money to i guess #shame #shutdownnamecheap .

  @Namecheap I've been with Namecheap since April 2011. The headache of simply renewing a domain has been going on for well over a decade, and support has been terrible the whole time. Honestly, I only stayed because it was too much trouble to leave. At the very minimum, get phone reps.

  jono (@chsweb) reported 51 minutes ago

  @Namecheap Lots of variables, many things that could’ve gone wrong beyond just named cheap, I simply wish I never happened of course, and that it was easier to know when it does happen, and why it happened

  GAB (@GabsCrypto) reported 54 minutes ago

  Hey @namedotcom, could you please add support for multi-YubiKey security key registration on your platform? Other domain name registrars like @GoDaddy and @Namecheap all use it. It's imperative to offer encryption from physical security keys to safeguard against hackers.

  DIGI ERA PRO (@digierapro) reported 56 minutes ago

  @Namecheap Why you guys don't have proper security. Every month my hosting hacked by someone. I have multiple domains & website with you guys. Very poor support and no response.
