  @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.

  i genuinely did not get the "hype" for this AI assistant called Instinct. if you have Codex or Claude, you can technically do everything it does. BUT, the problem is you need to download an app to your machine, make sure you got data/wi-fi, ask Computer Use to get it done, etc. Instinct just turned off auto renewal in Namecheap for a website for me. my first WOW moment was that it has it's own Vault, asked me for my password (like 1Password) and just got **** done for me. i don't know if i fully trust it yet, but it got it done over iMessage, accurately, in less than a minute, and sent a screenshot.

  During the outage, emails were inaccessible and external senders received bounce-backs. I tested from Gmail and Yahoo. A client also received a bounce-back. Namecheap’s CEO @HilanKlein publicly acknowledged the email outage and said affected emails may be delayed. 2/4

  @viveksb007 Namecheap If by conversion you mean tricking the customer to pay more then it probably works

  Farmercologist (@farfesadee) reported 27 minutes ago

  So apparently, Contabo newly introduced a free firewall feature which was enabled on the account and as a result, every incoming traffic was being dropped. More so, the issue Namecheap had last Thursday affected our domain as well, the DNS record completely stopped communicating with the server’s public IP. All issues fixed💯💯💯. Now I can rest😒😒😒 This is one of the things you get for working as a Bsckend Engineer.

  @a_shimanski @Namecheap Sorry about that and I agree, we could have postponed this until next week especially after the recent outage.

  @alexneyret @Namecheap Well said! Datacenter issues are out of a hosting companies control when collocating. While downtime is never fun, these things can happen unfortunately & from what I’ve seen, NameCheap communicated throughout it all & even sent staff onsite to expedite the recovery process.

  @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.

  @Dynadot @ZPEdisclosure Is it possible for my wife to move he domain from Namecheap while it's down? I see a LOT of people freaking out that had crypto wallets tied to emails and websites they were hosting, what a total 💩show!

  WTF, @Namecheap. Need recommendations. For YEARS, I’ve recommended Namecheap over GoDaddy because the support was great and I trusted the experience. Now I’m finding that EVERY SINGLE domain I searched on Namecheap’s WHOIS less than 24 hours ago is suddenly “taken.” Not one. Every. Single. One. People on Reddit raised this exact issue months ago. I defended Namecheap because I’d never experienced it myself and even mentioned it is trust worthy. Well, I faced it now. I searched each domain ONCE. Just once. I wasn’t repeatedly checking them or trying to register them. And now they’re all “taken.” Maybe it’s a coincidence. But it’s a pretty damn weird one because every domain I that I had checked for availability is gone at easily 10x the price. I’m seriously considering moving everything out of Namecheap. Who are you guys using instead? Already using Cloudflare for .com, but I still have a lot of domains at NC.

  @Namecheap It’s surely not only an interface change. - It is slow - Editing appointments doesn't work intermittently - Can not view attachments without downloading unlike before - Appointment doesn't go through Schedule a call with me, will show you all for free.

  Ok this will sound like a hyperbole post but it’s not I have been using Instinct, the new AI assistant and it just found me ~$700/yr in subscriptions I forgot I was paying for. Real things it did: • Audited my Gmail and mapped every recurring subscription: ~$290/mo I wasn’t fully tracking • Found a “Universal TV Remote” app billing me $5.99 PER WEEK. That’s $311/yr for a remote app. Killed • Cancelled my AARP auto-renewal end to end: logged in, navigated the account, verified the confirmation screen • Flagged that my AAA membership ($121/yr) was duplicative because Geico already covers roadside. Cancelled that auto-renewal too • Caught a domain auto-renewing for $76 the next day and turned it off in Namecheap the night before • Found Suno at $30/mo I barely used. Downgraded to $10 • Sends me my kid’s school lunch menu every night at 7pm without me asking • Told me my car needed an emissions test before tag renewal, and that the deadline falls on my birthday. Saved a wasted trip • Built and deployed a tic tac toe game to my Netlify in ~10 min • Deployed a directory of 46 personal site previews to my Netlify • Designed 4 creative directions for my sister’s film studio site, then built the full site on the winner • Pulled my Netlify team ID from my personal account when I needed it Total: ~$700/yr in zombie subscriptions gone, plus a few hours of errands I never did. The underrated part isn’t the doing. It’s that it noticed things and proactively suggested what to do. Plus the UX was chef’s kiss This is about instinct. co, the app that’s all the rage on X lately Not a sponsored post nor am I an investor just a fan and early user

  @Namecheap what’s being done about the outage that we experienced and the business crippling that was shared across the board? We haven’t heard anything or at least I haven’t and we still owe bills. We deserve considerations for that experience.
