Namecheap Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TychoTithonus Royce Williams (@TychoTithonus) reported

    @DaryllSwer @danmcd @paulvixie From our testing, it was not universal - we believe it was limited only to net new DNSSEC activations within a specific period (a 10-month window IIRC). Namecheap explicitly acknowledged the issue in the thread I cited above.

  • JiaoJuly julyjiao.eth (@JiaoJuly) reported

    @Namecheap the worst VPN i had purchased so far. Never succeed in connecting to any locations both on PC and IOS!!!! And i can't withdraw my top up.

  • daniel_nguyenx Daniel Nguyen 📖 (@daniel_nguyenx) reported

    @phuctm97 Despite the name, I really like NameCheap. Their services and customer supports are top-notch

  • joebell_ Joe Bell 🇺🇦 (@joebell_) reported

    @upen946 I've used @Namecheap a few times too – solid product Not so interested in Google as I feel they have a bad habit of canning their products at short notice

  • TychoTithonus Royce Williams (@TychoTithonus) reported

    @danmcd @paulvixie Mixed emotions about Namecheap - their spammer squashing game has been strong recently, but their non transparency with significant DNSSEC breakage a while back gives me pause. We reported issues affecting 10k's of domains for months. They fixed - but never notified customers.

  • wideanglesaxon Earl Greaves (@wideanglesaxon) reported

    @Namecheap Not fixed for me - my website still down and redirecting to Wordpress install page.

  • SphereDeFi Sphere Finance (@SphereDeFi) reported

    @Rizsky182 @sneakaheadsss Not at all, Namecheap just got mass reports by an unknown group of people. We've resolved the issue with the domain provider. Hopefully we won't be subject to this kind of spam attack anymore.

  • busyfather BusyFather 🌻 (@busyfather) reported

    @TonyNames They have pretty much all the registrars under the sun on that drop that down list. It would be good for Namecheap to partner with Sedo.

  • simsalacrypto Simsala (SPH,ERE) (@simsalacrypto) reported

    @Namecheap how can I report scam links? I reported over 24 hours ago scam links and no response? How can this be a thing? Please DM me and tell me how I can get accelerated support. Btw, I am also a customer. I know it's Easter but things like that need priority. Happy Easter.

  • wideanglesaxon Earl Greaves (@wideanglesaxon) reported

    @Namecheap Are there problems with server76 and server 258? No access to email and websites down.

  • danmcd Dan McDonald (@danmcd) reported

    @paulvixie I use namecheap. One of my friends uses name . com but has no two-letter "ORG" to move around. Dude that sucks! Please update us on the rest of this story.

  • Jackuart Pelumi I. E (@Jackuart) reported

    seems the war in Ukraine is really affecting @Namecheap All sites are down including Easywp and seeing stalled cached versions on other sites...

  • PreetDudhoria Preet Jain (@PreetDudhoria) reported

    @Namecheap @busyfather But Sedo MLS service is not available for namecheap right?

  • AGreatDomain Bob Hawkes (@AGreatDomain) reported

    @busyfather Unless it has changed, for a long time Namecheap have been part of network for selling Sedo listed names. AFAIK names registered at Namecheap are not eligible for Sedo MLS listing.

  • northshoreannm northshoreannie (@northshoreannm) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with their @Namecheap sites not loading at all or loading slowly?

  • TonyNames 💡 Tony (@TonyNames) reported

    @busyfather Oh yes indeed. This is like the Standard Afternic Network. I just checked a few SEDO names that are not listed on afternic, and I can get the SEDO prices on Namecheap

  • ArrigoLupori Arrigo Lupori 🤓 (@ArrigoLupori) reported

    @phuctm97 @Namecheap @queue_so Just checked, wow it really is cheap 🤯 I was having this problem of having to open way too many G Suite accounts for email but you might have solved my issue haha next time I will try it out!

  • wutcts_mike Mike W (@wutcts_mike) reported

    @Namecheap can we get a take-down of paraevident[dot]rest please? being communicated with by multiple RAT samples

  • thisura_jay Thisura Jayasoma (@thisura_jay) reported

    @ramistheraja How is GoDaddy better? I haven’t used it before. But I guess the best is to lock the domain first with NameCheap and then transfer to whichever the service provider you wish to.

  • SafenodeDev Nicolaj (@SafenodeDev) reported

    @joebell_ Porkbun or namecheap. Both good prices and support. Considering collecting all my domains on one service, but not sure which.

  • allbombs Kenny (@allbombs) reported

    I registered four xyzs for under $5 at Namecheap over the weekend. Domaining has never tasted so good.

  • TechyAbraham Abraham Tobi Akomolafe (@TechyAbraham) reported

    What is this incompatibility between namecheap's CPanel and MTN. They never work together. I need a technical explanation to it.

  • arsoth_ Arsoth (@arsoth_) reported

    hey @Namecheap is server258 having a bit of a moment? Emails and cpanel+websites are offline with 503 errors and pinging it is a shotgun of request timed out interspersed with ~90ms latency responses.

    @Namecheap Hope you don’t issue refund to scammer…

  • TonyNames 💡 Tony (@TonyNames) reported

    @busyfather Is it similar to FT standard network? Because Namecheap does appear in the extended list when you chose a registrar while adding domains.
