  • the_voidcrew The Void Crew 🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (Plural Neurodivergence) (@the_voidcrew) reported

    Also the “**** this ****” moment with money was “Hey I’m gonna pay my doctors” - I spent 30 extra bucks on food for fun on Monday and the rest of it went to Spotify, Namecheap and OH YEA Amazon Prime. X__x Excuse me while i go scream into the void and figure out how to do this.

  • bunnymaid bunny (@bunnymaid) reported

    From the department of #NFT and #Bitcoin STUPID, we present: httQs://nggtoken.digital/ (It appears broken) "National Geographic NFT Token" I wonder what @NatGeo has to say about that, except perhaps. "Cut that out @Namecheap "

  • wyre_g Sam@Wyre-G 🇰🇪 (@wyre_g) reported

    @Namecheap your SMS verification code taking forever to arrive. Actually not working, I can't login to my account, 7 hrs later

  • JCyberSec_ Jake | JCyberSec_ (@JCyberSec_) reported

    @Namecheap @ICANN It has now gone down. There was a DNS propagation issue but it now fixed and is down.

  • jackslingerland Jack Slingerland (@jackslingerland) reported

    @arkitect75 @Namecheap I am on AT&T. Known issue?

  • TheEchoWalker WolfPaw EchoWalker (@TheEchoWalker) reported

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO @wordpressdotcom Nah, i'm done reaching out. I've been reaching out for a month now and all you have done is send messages like this to show the public you have some kind of customer care which clearly you do not. We're done. And so are all your little hidden costs to keep one simple webpage up.

  • NCEdwardM Edward M. (@NCEdwardM) reported

  • Arnandegans Arnan de Gans (@Arnandegans) reported

    Frustrating how being an affiliate for @namecheap worked fine when they didn't have ImpactRadius as their affiliate thing and now EVERYTIME i want to do or change any thing it's a stupid hassle of broken services... I got more clicks/sales too before they switched #fixyourshit

  • Kool11Sharma prateek Sharma (@Kool11Sharma) reported

    @Namecheap My business is down since yesterday.. how many years will your investigation take ? Tell me is this the way of doing business ? without warning how can you put the entire servier down? If one website is making problem block it or let us know we will do this

  • NCEdwardM Edward M. (@NCEdwardM) reported

    @KenoFischer @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO Outage impact: Domain names with enabled DNSsec that had October 14 as the expiration date for RRSIG. Monitoring: DB connection alerts were not triggered due to misconfiguration

  • hexnvex Vex (@hexnvex) reported

    @RiotLinguist I've got namecheap & set it up pretty easily for my router. Only gotta turn it off to watch stuff on Amazon bc they're the worst ofc

  • tobiolabajo Tobi Olabajo (@tobiolabajo) reported

    @Namecheap I have been locked out of my Namecheap account. When I try to login, I am getting a prompt that says: "VALIDATION ERROR. Your access is temporarily restricted, please contact support team." I can't contact your support because I don't have the support code as I am locked out

  • TheEchoWalker WolfPaw EchoWalker (@TheEchoWalker) reported

    I have had nothing but one technical issue after another with @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO so was wondering if anyone knows of a good provider where I can transfer nearly 100 domain names to for free & actually has software which works unlike their @wordpressdotcom rubbish. Thanks

  • jdgregson %00 (@jdgregson) reported

    @Namecheap @clearbit I can confirm that the site is redirecting to the suspended page and in-the-wild phishing attachments are no longer able to exfiltrate stolen credentials. Thanks for your help!

  • akaushik759 Abhishek Kaushik (@akaushik759) reported

    @Namecheap The issue is fixed. You guys are super 💯

  • arkitect75 Chris Groves (@arkitect75) reported

    @jackslingerland @Namecheap Yep. SMS errors. Seems to be starting to work again.

  • NCEdwardM Edward M. (@NCEdwardM) reported

    @KenoFischer @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO Root cause: 2 weeks before the outage we made the improvement to the scheduler tasks that perform the updates to RRSIG. We did not increase the DB connections because at the time of the update the system worked correctly. DB connections limit exceeded and resulted in the outage.

  • tanujnotes Tanuj (@tanujnotes) reported

    @JacksonCamp99 I usually buy from Hostgator or Namecheap for around 15 dollars per domain per year, which is a decent amount is Indian rupees. The worst part is, I've barely used any domain out of 20+ I bought in last few years.

  • DomainGoodness Domain Goodness (@DomainGoodness) reported

    I use @namecheap to host my 100+ domains. their renewal process seems to be different from other registrars. how is it that u cannot stop renewing a domain 30 days BEFORE a domain expires? then they drag u into customer support emails... then say too late #domains #domainnames

  • hexnvex Vex (@hexnvex) reported

    @Namecheap @RiotLinguist I'm only acknowledging this just to say that it'll never not be weird for a corporate brand to join a conversation, even if they're the topic of conversation.

  • wikisean sean (@wikisean) reported

    @Namecheap @jackslingerland Their support is so good. Big fan of namecheap

  • DomainGoodness Domain Goodness (@DomainGoodness) reported

    please share your experiences with me about @namecheap for domain hosting as I transferred over to them sort of recently from another registrar and I am angry about how customer support is handling an issue re 6 domains. newbie with this. #domains #domainnames
