    @NamecheapCEO @rsmck @Namecheap You guys don't do anything about Fraud. We have contracted your support department, multiple un answered tickets: Ticket ID: HCN-760-53931 Ticket ID: MQT-172-59597

    @Namecheap @deronsizemore Lol by not extending this to existing customers it makes them go to other services to be the new customer to get a discount. @deronsizemore don't forget cloudflare sells domains at cost. Give them a try.

  • halluxdev hallux (@halluxdev) reported

    @rmondello hey! Running into an issue using Passwords on NameCheap's website, specifically for their Private Email subscription. I would love to be able to show you however most of the information is private so I'm not sure how to explain what's going on.

  • darkpixel Aaron C. de Bruyn (@darkpixel) reported

    You guys having an outage @namecheap? Got a weird error while registering a domain, started chatting with a rep, rep said "Please give me a minute to look through the question you've asked" and they stopped responding. It's been ~30 minutes.

  • jnazario dr soldier unfortunable (@jnazario) reported

    @JeremyBlueHouse @Namecheap @GreyNoiseIO Most of them publish their CIDRs so you can block them, and most also have a contact page to opt out if you have a stable network address. But way more fun to expose your honeypots and see what comes in, and use that for security info etc. recall I used to work for a scanner co

  • ExtraTechnical Ujjwal Kumar 🇮🇳 (@ExtraTechnical) reported

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO My bad, I thought M1 was something mainstream and most people recognised what it meant. Should have specifically said Apple Silicon. Other things you sent me was about the availability of the android app which I know, I did mention android tv though.

  • galtay Gurkan ALTAY (@galtay) reported

    @Namecheap That was someone else's problem, not mine. He's probably looking for fraud. Thank you for your interest.

  • the_Aalu Dayalu (@the_Aalu) reported

    @Namecheap your updated support system is very poor i can't get instant Help. I missed live chat with person, Just submit my ticket and waiting for your reply through email, Its very Bad Update

  • AngeZanetti Xavier Coiffard (@AngeZanetti) reported

    @writecodeordie I agree NameCheap sucks. Do you think you would pay to such a service? Like $9 to get a list of free relevant domain names?

  • ecarlesi Emiliano Carlesi (@ecarlesi) reported

    Threat on hxxps://reviewaccountpaym[.]com/Login[.]php #phishing #lloyds #namecheap

  • rcwht_ Rob White (@rcwht_) reported

    @Namecheap can you take a look at the suspicious domain sky[.]co[.]uk-network[.]net please? Currently getting redirects to the legit Sky site, but this looks very much like it'll seen be #phishing

  • rohitjaimathur Rohit mathur (@rohitjaimathur) reported

    @Namecheap worst service ever, its been more then 48 hours and still my website is not working. Even you have no option to call assistance

  • PawarBI Sandeep Pawar (@PawarBI) reported

    @EmilyRiederer Namecheap for sure... If you chat with support, ask for a discount- I got it and locked in 10 years. Good support too

  • iamladykel I am Lady Kel (@iamladykel) reported

    @Namecheap good evening I purchased my turbo WordPress hosting plan last night but when I go onto the hosting list it's saying I don't have any hosting service yet?

    @Namecheap I think I would try it again and if I have a problem I will communicate them

  • EMDiscussions EmailDiscussions (@EMDiscussions) reported

    @Karstenhowes @wordsmythical I would suggest that you reconsider a move to Namecheap. If you do a search on the @EMDiscussions forum you won't find many positive reviews for their service, especially if you're moving from a niche service like Tuffmail.

  • overfl0wed TeamOverfl0wed (@overfl0wed) reported

    And, again, huge thanks to @Sendinblue and @Mailchimp for their swift handling of the situation. I wish Namecheap would learn from the amazing service you have provided me in the process of trying to get this operation shut down.

  • darkpixel Aaron C. de Bruyn (@darkpixel) reported

    @Namecheap It looks like the chat server is no longer returning 4xx errors. I was able to reach a rep about a minute ago.

  • BOYRACER1523 BOYRACER1523 (@BOYRACER1523) reported

    @Namecheap The live chat is really bad now the old live chat was much better I hate it that you can’t get any support with live chat now

  • Hammadayf hammad 🥱 (@Hammadayf) reported

    Wonderful @Namecheap, first someone uses my card details to buy a domain with another account. You deduct almost $200 from me with no prior knowledge. Then your customer support staff says there's no refund and blame me for creating another account. LOOK INTO YOUR SECURITY

  • johndemzy John Udeme (@johndemzy) reported

    @Namecheap I Submitted my ticket to chat with LIVE SUPPORT but no one is responding.

  • ccowan81 Chad (@ccowan81) reported

    .io renewal price going up at #namecheap .. there is going to be a ton of crap names expiring over the next few months

  • hbflyte Heather (@hbflyte) reported

    I switched to EasyWP at @Namecheap to have more WordPress options but less backend hassle. Now I'm sitting here in tears waiting for support to reply and wanting to just cancel everything. I should't have to upgrade to get ANOTHER SSL certificate when I already have one. ****!

  • arealesramirez Andres Reales (@arealesramirez) reported

    @Goddessmara6 @TheJackForge I personally use bluehost. Here's is a basic idea of what you can do is: 1. Buy a domain (godaddy, namecheap, etc) 2. Buy a WordPress plan with bluehost. 3. Follow all the instructions. If you have doubts, ask bluehost customer support. 4. Once it is set up, login to your .

    @jaytookstock If it’s namecheap just contact their support I had the same issue and they fixed it

  • jnazario dr soldier unfortunable (@jnazario) reported

    @JeremyBlueHouse @Namecheap check out @GreyNoiseIO and their RIOT service to decorate your logs. you can eliminate false positives in a flash like this - ignore benign scanners etc.

    @mamezito Namecheap! they never failed me in last 10 years unlike godaddy(fnkg morons) or hover
