Namecheap Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PrivateEyesSpy Acerbic Gumshoe 🇺🇸 (@PrivateEyesSpy) reported

    @iAnonPatriot Guess it's time to flood @Namecheap with bad reviews since they'll be using them as a web host.

  • beReplyHero beReplyHero (@beReplyHero) reported

    @DanielLockyer @Steen3S @Namecheap this will annoy users on slow phones, probably kills converstions, glad you caught it

  • fytagee fytg (@fytagee) reported

    @Namecheap Thank you! Just to ask, is there like a special channel or a way to report these faster or more convenient? E-mail or Support on your website takes days to respond, hence why I'm doing it this way. I see these on the daily.

  • RhysKentish Rhys Kentish - building touch grass 🌱 (@RhysKentish) reported

    namecheap redirects are SO slow compared to cloudflare

  • schalice Todd Hendrix (@schalice) reported

    @DanielLockyer @Steen3S @Namecheap Search pages are traditionally bogged down by filtering through all the DB results not css animation. :P

  • croc_io Alex@DN.io (@croc_io) reported

    @dynatodd It is definitely the best mobile app for a domain registrar I've used. Namecheap's app sucks. And the GD Investor app always logs me out.

  • Tattooboulevard TATTOO BOULEVARD (@Tattooboulevard) reported

    @DefiantLs Very professional a free website hosted by namecheap on a free subdomain and shared ssl with namecheapI give it about a week till its taken down or hacked.

  • SenthilRajendrn Senthil Rajendren (@SenthilRajendrn) reported

    @Name__Groove @Namecheap There is some data sync issue. I’m working to get it fixed asap. Will update you soon

  • KateMachon Kate Machon Author (@KateMachon) reported

    @thelordoffishes I use Wordpress which I'm pleased with. Name's registered with Namecheap and host is Siteground. I watched loads of YouTube videos to figure out how to set one up. My baddie in book 3 is a bad angel. I guess I could work him into a demon. Still writing!

  • ThomKnepper Thom Knepper 汤姆 (@ThomKnepper) reported

    @DanielLockyer @Steen3S @Namecheap The namecheap website always is so slow. They should really do a refresh of their frontend.

  • YourNextDomain YourNextDomain.com (@YourNextDomain) reported

    We just pushed a fix to minimize Namecheap cancelled auctions in our inventory. We kept seeing great names for great prices only to find out they were cancelled. 😭

  • RudyNTech RudyNTech (@RudyNTech) reported

    @Namecheap That's what I'd assumed...however, I just had to spend 2 hours on live chat with two separate support techs to get the email and SSL cert functioning. Thank you for taking the feedback.

  • J_Emre_J emregency 🥐 (@J_Emre_J) reported

    @DanielLockyer @Steen3S @Namecheap Is there any recommendation on how to test for those issues in ci cd?

  • fytagee fytg (@fytagee) reported

    @Porkbun @Porkbun That does not mean anything and you know it; Namecheap happily suspended the abusive service in minutes upon reporting it. Are those 10$ for the domain really that much worth it?

  • Name__Groove Name Groove (@Name__Groove) reported

    @RiotDomains I search at NameCheap when that happens. And if it still doesn't work when I'm ready to buy, I buy at a different working registrar. There are consequences to broken tech @spaceship

  • 0xtiago_ tiago (@0xtiago_) reported

    also, @Namecheap @squarespace @SquarespaceHelp very bad look!

  • mintybudgie budgiemint (@mintybudgie) reported

    @forcharliekirk1 @Namecheap take this down....this domain is using your service

  • jondbarrow Jonathan Barrow (@PretendoNetwork) (@jondbarrow) reported

    @DaggerStriker @Ilias62923837 You don’t pick which one you get, it’s whoever the registrar sets. Namecheap uses this one. But really who gives a ****, this is such a non-issue. It’s extremely clear that it’s not real information, I genuinely couldn’t care less

  • gowithBenson Benson (@gowithBenson) reported

    ..Namecheap has some of the best customer support in the world. Their team follows up on your case until it’s fully resolved, often responding in less than 5 minutes. See why people trust them? That’s the secret: customers come first. #BuildWithYou #Customer #buildinpublic

  • DomainNameWire DomainNameWire.com (@DomainNameWire) reported

    @ntropiq @TonyNames The comparison is GoDaddy's brokerage service, which is at least $99. DomainAgents offers its service through registrars including Namecheap.

  • DanielLockyer Daniel Lockyer (@DanielLockyer) reported

    @Steen3S @Namecheap If you set `display:none` for both: react-nc-search .wf-loading::before and react-nc-search article .label span.content-loading b ... the issue goes away

  • FedUpWithBadAir Dave Peterson (He/Him) Ⓥ 🇨🇦 (@FedUpWithBadAir) reported

    @ClaudetteGGibs1 Namecheap AGAIN? The same service that hosts all those porn-bot URLs?!

  • HackForumsNet UID 1 (@HackForumsNet) reported

    @zachlisko @sysadafterdark Well honestly what's the problem that a private firm is buying NameCheap? Personally never considered them that amazing for Domainers. What do you think is gonna change for the negative?

  • SamSamson332 eric3.btc (@SamSamson332) reported

    @BtcpayServer @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO I am running the latest version of BTCPAY server, but on payment....when somebody selects 'Litecoin' and then clicks the button 'Pay In Wallet'....it appends extra text = 'Litecoin' to the front of the address...and then it errors when opening wallet. ??

  • RudyNTech RudyNTech (@RudyNTech) reported

    @Namecheap I just don't understand why I have to manually set up so much when ordering the basic Stellar package. For example, I made an email account, but then had to set up all kinds of DNS settings for it to play nicely between @namecheap and @cPanel. Same for the SSL cert. Why haven't you guys automated this? Shoutout to your support tech Maksym P. for walking me through the arduous process!

  • Name__Groove Name Groove (@Name__Groove) reported

    @Namecheap Yea, something is broken - not sure on what side. NC's search isn't as robust as domain360 - there is no way to search the way I'd like (via a specific prefix and/or suffix, max length, etc)

  • ParamChahals Param Chahal (@ParamChahals) reported

    @Namecheap All my websites on your Stellar Plus and Stellar Business are either not loading (Cloudflare 502 Connection timed out) or load extremely slow. I have tried with your chat support numerous times but my issues never got solved.

  • industrialgothk industrialgothic (@industrialgothk) reported

    @atRachelGilmore This the name of the original Registrar (ask a Network Specialist to explain): Registrar Information Name: NAMECHEAP INC IANA ID1068

  • yambobee Yambo (@yambobee) reported

    If you're looking for an example of some of the worst customer service you can get from a SaaS product, look no further than @Namecheap. I've had to go back and forth with their support multiple times. Not recommended.

    wonder where that leaves domainers using spaceship and/or namecheap. prices may increase, service deteriorates and more. have a backup plan folks. #domains
