  • holliemaea Paul Lackey (@holliemaea) reported

    @Namecheap @xpndadynamic Lmao next time don’t suspend a customer just because some panda on Twitter tells you to.

  • candieanderson Candie Anderson (@candieanderson) reported

    @dnprotect @Namecheap Thank you for your help. They bought the domain from Namecheap and the website is hosted on Cloud Flare. I contacted Google about having it removed since it's copyright infringement. I never received a confirmation from them, I'm hoping it went through.

  • UniverseTLD .UNIVERSE & .WC on HNS (@UniverseTLD) reported

    @hopetomakeit @DotDwebo Trying to get it on each of them.. I would expect Namecheap and 101doms may be the first to support though, based on the extension quality as they are very active looking for super quality extensions as they seem abit flooded with random ones at present.. 1/2

  • itsnoahlenz Noah Lenz (@itsnoahlenz) reported

    Just had a terrible interaction with @Namecheap and am no fan of @GoDaddy What are the best alternatives?

  • JediHagrid dustin evans (@JediHagrid) reported from Kansas City, Kansas

    @Namecheap Again DNS uptime means nothing if the host is down. You make it sound like the website people go to will be up 100% of the time. Most people don't even know what DNS is and they just see uptime and buy. It's pretty ******.

  • unwoman UNW0MⒶN (@unwoman) reported

    @Namecheap Holy ****. I told you to stop. I wasn't mad before. Now I'm switching providers asap.

  • allison_seboldt Allison Seboldt (@allison_seboldt) reported

    @yoyaoh @godaddyauctions Woof. Godaddy is the worst. I use namecheap for everything. Haven’t used their auctions yet tho.

  • jermops jeremy “purple-haired muppet” price (@jermops) reported

    Hey @Namecheap, what if you let me configure DNS records before the transfer is complete, thereby eliminating an outage? How on earth is this not a thing already?

  • OneWicht OneWicht (@OneWicht) reported

    @KendallP97 @Namecheap @xpndadynamic I know it is, I also know that a completely overwhelmed support cripples the service with a flood of abuse emails. Following the motto, shoot first, ask questions later, as happened in this case, the website is now available again.

  • dnprotect dnprotect (@dnprotect) reported

    @candieanderson @Namecheap Oh, the domain name they registered is a separate issue. If they domain name is confusingly similar to yours (and it also contains that copied content), there are separate ways to deal with the domain name.

  • candieanderson Candie Anderson (@candieanderson) reported

    @dnprotect @Namecheap Also, I just filed a DMCA takedown. Thanks again for your help.

  • unwoman UNW0MⒶN (@unwoman) reported

    @Namecheap Send this to your manager please, I think you messed up pretty bad

  • jermops jeremy “purple-haired muppet” price (@jermops) reported

    @Namecheap yes, it IS at another registrar. and yes i have DNS there. I'm currently transferring it to Namecheap, tho thinking that's a mistake rn, tbh. The problem is you won't let me create the DNS record on your system until it's transferred, at least not that i can find

  • JediHagrid dustin evans (@JediHagrid) reported from Kansas City, Kansas

    @unwoman @Namecheap What the hell even is "Premium DNS"? Are you going to look up the address faster now? Is it part of hosting? 100% DNS means they can translate the name to the IP address but if the host is down how is that going to help people see the website? I'm confused on what this even is.

  • unwoman UNW0MⒶN (@unwoman) reported

    @Namecheap Like, what on earth is the point of selling a service for a *currently running website* whose purpose is to keep it up, when to add it takes the site down for 48 hours????? I know this isn't your fault, social media person, but heck!!!

  • moethelawnvr moethelawn @ TBA 7/16, 7/20, 7/22, 7/23 (@moethelawnvr) reported

    @KesiraeVR I recommend namecheap for buying domains. Stay away from 101domain as I had a bad experience there. If you want some free hosting, I can provide some space as I have a server out in the cloud. I'm always happy to support any sort of VR project.

  • damielbadra Nafisa (@damielbadra) reported

    @saintvienna I have used bluehost, OmO never again their customer support is terrible. Currently using namecheap for domain name, love their customer support. Love Dreamhost for their customer support, so fast and willing to help, hadn't have anything issues with them.

  • jermops jeremy “purple-haired muppet” price (@jermops) reported

    @Namecheap Wait, you want me to point my DNS at your servers BEFORE you'll let me set up records? Do you see the problem with this??

  • alexjustesen Alex (@alexjustesen) reported

    @hazj95 @Namecheap @Readdle Does namecheap have calendar support?

  • IjezieCMichael Elochukwu Ijezie (@IjezieCMichael) reported

    @marriedtoseo @saintvienna I can't recommend Namecheap except for their low prices and impeccable customer support. I've had windows of error messages when trying to log into my wp dashboard. Many times.

  • ElAlastair Alastair Mooney (@ElAlastair) reported

    @Namecheap Customer support is a lot worse than it used to be. Just used live chat twice and no one understood what I was talking about and kept going around in circles. I've also just received a support email that makes no sense.

  • ViennaMusicEdu Music Education Association of Vienna (@ViennaMusicEdu) reported

    @emusiclady @Namecheap The service of namecheap is generally very good !

  • candieanderson Candie Anderson (@candieanderson) reported

    @Namecheap @linode @Cloudflare Thank you. They are copying my website word for word, have stolen my photos, they are using my theme, which I paid for and are using affiliate links. Please let me know how else I can help with this investigation.

  • emusiclady Alina Kim (@emusiclady) reported

    @Namecheap So nice service which is difficult to get in Austria

  • mide_writes Ayomide Joseph ⚡⚡ (@mide_writes) reported

    @saintvienna Back when I was still using Wordpress, Namecheap was and still my go-to recommendation. They’re reliable, have superb customer support and also offer 100% uptime. Now note, there’s a huge difference in 100% and 99% uptime — and only Namecheap offers that.

  • Mc16278194Susan Susan McLaughlin (@Mc16278194Susan) reported

    Would namecheap be harbouring a criminal? What might they be afraid of? A customer protected. A customer that no doubt might have the wise answer is at the root I'm telling you.

  • KillerJerkyCo Killer Jerky® (@KillerJerkyCo) reported

    Something happen with our domain we are waiting for support it fix it. Please help @Namecheap

  • EducatedSavage Educated Savage (@EducatedSavage) reported

    @unwoman @Namecheap This is pretty bad. I have several donains through @namecheap but now I am going to make sure to never check that box. 48 hours of downtime is unacceptable.
