    @Namecheap Nope, the money isn’t added to the balance. It only affects top ups - buying something directly works fine. I tried talking to your support about it via live chat and ticket last year, but they couldn’t care less. It seemed to be a known issue, but even that wasn’t very clear.

  • ClaudiusAyadi
    Claudius Ayadi (@ClaudiusAyadi) reported

    As much as I love @Namecheap, lately their CS sucks. Most of them don't understand plain English, I must say. I've been explaining an issue to one here for over 1 hour. S/he hasn't been able to give me an answer till now. I'm so frustrated right now.

  • Lucky_Louey

    @Namecheap @asherwolfstein I've just received an email from domainnotifyengine for a small company that I help - they are not computer literate. They would be out of pocket and god know what else if they carried on following the email - it is your responsibilty just as much to stop this happening. 2/2 🤬

  • sarthakbatra
    Batman (@sarthakbatra) reported

    @Namecheap Okay, not sarcastic but what do you mean it's reserved directly by the registry? That's the answer your support gave before ending the chat abruptly.

    So, their domain... of choice... NameCheap, Inc. Server: nginx/1.16.1 IP address: 185.212.130.53 Guys (@Namecheap), do you know you have #scams abusing your services? Registry Domain ID: D98400814AC554107B8463B9E976F4FBB-NSR Please fix this.

    I am aware of an issue with Words Above Replacement that won't allow visitors to access the page. Working with @Namecheap to fix the issue as quickly as possible.

  • NetsSavage
    SavageLord (@NetsSavage) reported

    @Namecheap Your service is just so so bad, imagine my domain has been temporarily locked for days, domain that I own, making me loose audience and revenue that they won't pay for

  • santhiaroo
    Santhiaroo (@santhiaroo) reported

    @Namecheap I have significant privacy issues. I create an email dedicated email for Namecheap. After few days, I start receiving many emails from Indian-based guys offering me design services. I only that email only on Namecheap 😨

  • Cryofauna
    Ken Silverman's Lament Configuration (Fauna!) (@Cryofauna) reported

    @hikari_no_yume my services don't auto renew because namecheap doesn't support that with paypal so I have to do it manually for my hosting and domain :))))))))))))))))))))))))

  • DereckPouliot
    Dereck Pouliot (@DereckPouliot) reported

    @WitchJRPG Finally, it looks like it moved to a new registrar named NameCheap, Inc. Hope their customer service is as sleek as GoDaddy's!

  • churnd
    churnd (@churnd) reported

    @Namecheap support for dynamic DNS is pretty cool. Set up my new @Ubiquiti UDM to use one of my domains. Very easy to do & cost me nothing over what I was already paying to register the domain.

    @zeurilleart @eena_kulot Namecheap is really good, and as the name suggests it is cheap at. About 20 bucks a year. You need to have a bit of programming knowledge if you want to get the most out of it, but they also have a website builder. If you want some help with programming it just hit me up :D

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO We have been trying to resolve this issue for over a month now and your team keeps going silent. Your team has all the information it needs. When will it be resolved?

    @wemarsh No need to be logged in to your Namecheap account to start a Live Chat. Or you are having other issues with our website as well?

    @EasyWP @Namecheap I really hope that this time, someone will get back to me today and have this problem solved ! 🙏

    also is it possible to use namecheap and portforward a minecraft server on there if i have bought a domain as i have : pls help @MojangSupport @Mojang @Namecheap

  • favecorp
    fave corp (@favecorp) reported

    @ppcbz It sucks. Glad I’m not alone. The immediate hack: hit the X in the URL field to stop it trying to load. The other option: close the window, clear Godaddy cookies, restart browser. Or use different browser. Or just quit GD. 😓 Moving to Namecheap at renewal time.

  • jasonsvance
    Jason S Vance (@jasonsvance) reported

    message from @namecheap "Our Hosting Transfers team are facing a large number of requests at the moment. As a result, the response time has increased." This really mean is some @namecheap executive gives 0 ***** about CS. Hire additional people to fix your bad CS problem.

  • SquireAlright

    @Namecheap No problem, time to find a new host.

    @lindhartsen @SwiftOnSecurity Big issue for me too. Wish they'd support namecheap or anything else really.

  • MoneyMasterGuru
    MoneyMaster.Guru (@MoneyMasterGuru) reported

    Took their site down from host, also getting subpoenas from Namecheap, Twitter and Google for records. Noone else wanted to help in time including Trustwallet. I know this is never-ending fight and they and others will spring up again but at least I hope to have save someone!

  • tullyfur
    StratosfearTully🇺🇸 (@tullyfur) reported

    @pdabrosca @GavinWax The domain is registered with @namecheap and appears to violate their terms of service which prohibit use of the service : “for content that will profess hatred for particular social, ethnical, religious or other groups;” and “in a manner that is violent or encourages violence;”

  • CallMe_Rub
    Ruben (@CallMe_Rub) reported

    @EasyWP @Namecheap Sorry but test have been made from you without any active plugins, so this is not related to my plugins at all. :-/ Same issue under SFTP, so again not a plugin issue. Sorry

  • TwistedFlipFlop
    Ross Churchill 🇬🇧 (@TwistedFlipFlop) reported

    @Namecheap I logged it though twitter it's down to you fix it now I am not doing any more free work on this unless you want to pay me a contractor?

  • pplu_io
    Jose Luis Martinez (@pplu_io) reported

    @Namecheap Pinged the support case on Feb16. Still no action. Taking the site offline would be trivial, as it is a simple default page.

  • WilfSplodNokit
    Richie (@WilfSplodNokit) reported

    @cswordpress Do you know if that might be why I can't login to my @NameCheap account? They have a terribly broken site and I can't login on any browser now

  • repbri
    B-rye (@repbri) reported

    @LITHFlyer This is about as stupid and dangerous as it gets. Is this the part where we get to demand that @Namecheap and @Cloudflare disable this account and take down the website? (Hint: No, because that is also stupid and dangerous - those companies are free to host whatever they want)

  • WilfSplodNokit
    Richie (@WilfSplodNokit) reported

    Does anyone know if @NameCheap is accessible? They added that dreadful and broken accessible function to their site and I can't seem to login to my account. Wondering if it's time to find another domain provider

  • antisocial_eng
    The AntiSocial Engineer (@antisocial_eng) reported

    @DavisSec As much as it irks me to support FB, it takes an org with that many lawyers to make Namecheap care about these crimes... if consumer protection comes in the form of FB trying to save its own reputation than so be it.
