Sameh Nassar (@siynrr) reported@Namecheap I have a problem with you and the technical support is not helping me!! My domain I want to put it up for sale but through auction but the platform doesn't even allow it even they don't provide the simplest info about the platform/partner that can be used as a broker!
-
TelepathicPug (@TelepathicPug) reported@inf0stache Finding the "Icelandic Phallological Museum" in a privacy protected namecheap whois never fails to make me giggle
-
Zayn Harris (@zayn_harris_dev) reportedIt hurts so much. 🥲 Sharing pitfalls encountered when using Cloudflare @CloudflareHelp domain services + Vercel @vercel wildcard domain configuration: If you have developed a SaaS service and configured a wildcard domain to Vercel's domain configuration, and you are using Cloudflare's domain services, you cannot configure the name server to Vercel. The solution is: if you are using a wildcard domain to provide product services, do not use Cloudflare. Be aware when migrating from other domain services such as namesilo, namecheap, etc., to Cloudflare. Because after migrating, you can only migrate out after 60 days.

mediocre poster (@BopityBibity) reported@pcshipp you will want to transfer it to cloudflare anyhow for the cool stuff it has down the line (email routing is quite cool). don't even touch godaddy. namecheap iirc is cheaper upfront sometimes but renewal costs more
-
Pratik 📈 (@PratikSinhatwt) reportedClaude = coding. ($20/mo) Supabase = backend. (Free) Vercel = deploying. (Free) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) Stripe = payments. (2.9%/transaction) GitHub = version control. (Free) Resend = emails. (Free) Clerk = auth. (Free) Cloudflare = DNS. (Free) PostHog = analytics. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20 There has never been a cheaper time to build.
-
The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@GLAsk1d @Namecheap I got one domain taken down, it was a different registrar though. Namecheap doesn't appear to want to play ball.
-
GatewayToDomains (@gatewaytodomain) reported@katerleonid No, I use Namecheap, Porkbun, Unstoppable, Regery, Netim, 101Domains based on the support for tld I want to register.
-
Jeff Black (@jblacktkeus) reported@iHeartMalware @Namecheap Can you help me? I’m out 35k to these *******
-
LAZY YUT3 || Defi Scope (@MylesWRLD) reported.@Namecheap I think it's very funny how you guys have scammed me twice with two different accounts, and then making verification so difficult that almost every document I've submitted was not accepted. No problems though. My mistake for ever trying to work with you guys. This is very ****** service and I'll never patronize you any more.
-
Hackology (@Hackology) reported@Namecheap VPS CP is now responsive, even that was not loading rest even namecheap site appears to off ... VPS etc all down , even the IP associated with it
-
... (@irucsbo) reported@NamecheapCEO I used Namebase (owned by @Namecheap) to manage my funds. Three months ago, you sold the platform without notifying your clients. Since Namecheap sold the platform, I have lost access to my funds, and this issue has now been ongoing for more than three months.
-
Insignificant Developer (@insigdev) reported@tomilola_ng Namecheap sucks though 😭 Namecheap VPS is just Hostinger in a different coat. Low initial cost, ridiculous renewal prices as well, and a predatory domain expiration pipeline that funnels your forgotten domains straight to their marketplace auctions.
-
The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@RealTripleA I know exactly what happened. I cc'd the "host" and they took it down to prevent Namecheap from seeing it. Won't give them the heads up next time.
-
Shawn (@shawn_dot_so) reported@elgermerlo @GoDaddy @Cloudflare GoDaddy isn’t even a consideration for me.. it’s Cloudflare first place or namecheap for TLDs that Cloudflare doesn’t support yet
-
Andrew Warner (@AndrewWarner) reportedGoodbye SquareSpace. Finally! I've hated having my wife's site on Squarespace. Some consultant set her up with it and I never had the patience to move it. On Sunday I told Claude Code to copy her site to a free @Cloudflare acount. Then I told Claude's Chrome plugin to figure out how to tell NameCheap where to point the domain. So satisfying.

Imagine-This (@ImagineThisSM) reported@astralbodies @Namecheap yeah, true, how long has yours been out, i run 10 shops on their hosting and all of them are down
-
Fanboy.nz (@fanboynz) reported@Namecheap What did you find? based on the hundreds of domains it creates weekly on your service.
-
Paul Sant · Telecodex (@YouPulseX) reported@rmastiyev @Namecheap 8080 works, 80 times out, fresh installs logged - "back to the same ticket" is not a network review.
-
Imagine-This (@ImagineThisSM) reported@Namecheap hi, all my sites and applications are down, whats going on. please update us right away
-
Favour Light (@RealLight47) reported@Namecheap has probably the worst customer support I've ever had to deal with. I've been locked out of my account and haven't gotten a single reply to any of the emails I've sent.
-
Sankalp Yadav (@sankalpyaddav) reported@Namecheap I've already mailed you the payment proof and the whole WhatsApp conversation with date and time. RTs help this reach @Namecheap faster 🙏 And help me out!!! #DomainScam #Namecheap
-
GermainOfficial.tez #Lè Renaissance man (@GermainOfficial) reported@Namecheap @PIRegistry Can you guys PLEASE fix your SSL certificate issuing process? Better still explain why it's longer than a root canal.
-
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.
-
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?
-
Mr. Niba (@Nousername_ah) reportedI’ve usually had very good experiences with @Namecheap and their customer service but today I have been on with a live agent for more than 30 mins and they can’t resolve my issue after wasting my time they are now transferring me to a different department. SMH
-
John van Rijck (@John_ACW) reportedDoes @Namecheap pay their support team based on the amount of minutes they're in an active chat or what? Every support chat opens with: "Please allow me 10-12 minutes to check" Terrible support
-
Greg Lynch (@g_tone_) reported@Arfness @1grid_hosting Just been through the drama of moving client domains away from NameCheap (in protest of their pro-Zionist BS). I need to find a home for novelty TLDs that Xneelo doesn't support. Can you recommend anything?
-
GermainOfficial.tez #Lè Renaissance man (@GermainOfficial) reported@Namecheap has been here for years and till date still can't fix a simple SSL issuance. Older than ChatGPT. Agbaya.
-
Dusty Candland (@candland) reported@austinginder That's a crazy one! I've seen a number of bad things on GoDaddy as well. Generally try to get clients to move to PorkBun or NameCheap... I'll even help them for free!
-
Matthias Reinholz (@MattReinholz) reportedInteresting side-fact: they say the issue was about DNSSEC. However, in contrast to .com, @Namecheap doesn't let me configure DNSSEC for .de domains (not because of the current issue but generally). @grok does DENIC use a different layer/method of DNSSEC that doesn't allow configuring it on the registry level?
