  • PatrickSocha Patrick Socha (@PatrickSocha) reported

    @TweetsOfSumit @INWX Switch to @Namecheap. I've been with them >10 years, having been with some god awful registrars before. Fully recommend them. Bonus points: they offer U2F/Yubi key support

  • NourOumousse Nour Oumousse (@NourOumousse) reported

    Hey @Namecheap Why there isn't a way to export archived emails on PrivateEmail at once? if there is please help!

  • Hipopotofobia Hipopotofobia  (@Hipopotofobia) reported

    @Namecheap very disappointed with your customer service. They require my old exp date of a card I had 3 years ago to disable 2fa? How TF is anyone supposed to recall that? My bank does not even have that info...

  • gentoo_python President Elect Robert William Ross(Root) (@gentoo_python) reported

    @JimBrowning11 @Namecheap The issue and reason for domain privacy, is identity theft of the registar or spam to the registar/catchall email used to register. This was and still is a huge problem with exposing your full name, address, number, etc on a dns record.

  • leirinart 💫Leirin🌙 (@leirinart) reported

    @SilvaRymes Yes, could you help me? I purchased my url of choice from namecheap, made it so the url would redirect to my neocities page, and also input the new url into a box for that in neocities, and now the site won't load period (with either url)...

  • ineedahelmet Rob Miller (@ineedahelmet) reported

    Hey @Namecheap You are hosting a scam website designed to look like @DetrNevada's web site for Unemployment Insurance claims. detr-nv(dot)rest is being text-blasted to countless people. It sits on your servers with IP 199.188.201.38 Do the right thing and take it down.

  • Makcsecurity markkenyon_cs (@Makcsecurity) reported

    @gentoo_python @JimBrowning11 @Namecheap If Primark is using a service from Recorded Future or Riskiq, they may get a notification. But domain registrar's do indeed take their time. They blame it on the possibility the domain might be legitimate. Despite evidence to the contrary. Why do domain registrars take so long?.

  • monzo Monzo (@monzo) reported

    @iJackWilson @Namecheap Hey Jack 👋 We're sorry to hear you've received a message like this 😞 This was not sent by us, it was a phishing message pretending to be from Monzo. You can report this to your mobile network provider by forwarding the message for free to 7726. Thanks!

  • torontomario Adam (@torontomario) reported

    What a waste of time trying to talk with @Namecheap About the product canvas clearly a broken product according to the support comments I’m just told use another browser might fix it lol how many do I I have to tell you I used and product still wasn’t working.

  • cgillum Chris Gillum (@cgillum) reported

    @fhtino @AzureStaticApps DNS might still be propagating? I also migrated my DNS domain from Hover to Namecheap since the former doesn't support ALIAS records (and is more expensive). The DNS migration might not have fully propagated everywhere yet.

  • Vince_Kaufman Vincent Rosetano (@Vince_Kaufman) reported

    @JimBrowning11 @Namecheap There was one with almost the exact same script posing as a fake Texas Roadhouse page in the US. Thankfully that one was shut down immediately but they're persistent.

  • heryalijara Hery (@heryalijara) reported

    @Namecheap Hello I'm trying to contact support but I'm not getting an answer.

  • marmurube 🎃 NightMARe MURDERube 🦇 (@marmurube) reported

    @kanedr I like @Namecheap. Excellent customer service.

  • BromeliaEth Bromelia (@BromeliaEth) reported

    @ExileDAO @NoKapRich Namecheap being centralized and all, accepts crypto as payment, therefore you can use the service anonymously. So, you may be wrong about that.

  • Stijnvi13 Stijn (@Stijnvi13) reported

    @JimBrowning11 @Namecheap That's what ICANN is for Unfortunately, a lot of companies offer services to hide your real information, even so law enforcement can't track you down

  • douglaskarr Douglas Karr (@douglaskarr) reported

    @Namecheap @martech_zone Thanks, disappointed in the response that you won’t do anything and now I have to hunt his host down despite the private registration.

  • morelaurentbtw LP (@morelaurentbtw) reported

    @Namecheap Editing a domain's dns and other settings is so painfully slow.

  • _RodyMan_ RodyMan (@_RodyMan_) reported

    Listen, NameCheap support might be a bit slow and ****, but I don't understand why people HATE the service so much. I've been with them for a long time and I haven't had any problems. I personally think they're pretty good. The prices for the domains especially.

  • morelaurentbtw LP (@morelaurentbtw) reported

    @Namecheap Your web app is super slow and looks like it's from the early 2000s. Maybe you should charge more so you can afford to hire a better product team?

  • theeliarasantos Eliara Santos - Knowledge is Power & Freedom (@theeliarasantos) reported

    @Namecheap What the hell is going on that I can't log to my dashboard? I had to put my site under maintenance mode through Easy wp because both wp-admin AND website are not working! Please help!

  • rem @rem (@rem) reported

    Surprisingly bad experience from @Namecheap's legalandasbuse account. Stock replies that come off very copy and paste. I've used NC for over a decade, feels a shame to fall down on what I'd consider a fairly important part of their support.

  • a2br_ a2br (@a2br_) reported

    was about to purchase a domain on @Namecheap when its price suddenly went from $.86/year to $200/year with a new "Premium" tag. WTF JUST HAPPENED U CANT JUST CHANGE UR MIND THATS CHEATING

  • jaydestro jay gordon 🦍 (@jaydestro) reported

    my wife got a php related intrusion alert from her namecheap account and it reminded me of "the bad old days" running clamav all day on VMs

  • MixtrixFix Mixtrix (@MixtrixFix) reported

    @daisiesandhalos be somewhere with all your info that is technically also a vanilla site, so its better than nothing I use custom domains for all kinds of **** too actually. like vanity plates lol but if you need to buy more try namecheap they have the weird ones for only a cpla bux

  • couponare2 Couponare2 (@couponare2) reported

    Buy a domain name - Register cheap domain names from $0.99 - Namecheap Register domain names at Namecheap. Buy cheap domain names and enjoy 24/7 support. With over 13 million domains under management, you know you’re in good hands.

  • HaydenAylor Dax (@HaydenAylor) reported

    @Nicholasvanj YouTube is great. Also if you are having trouble Namecheap has a cheap high bandwidth VPN service that will allow you to connect to twitch at other server endpoints with next to no loss in latency.

  • nerthegame Never Ending Realms (@nerthegame) reported

    Thank you, Victoria @Namecheap, for sticking with me for 3 hours until my mail and cPanel problems were solved! I can't wish for a better Customer Service agent!

  • clementsphil Phil Clements (@clementsphil) reported

    @JimBrowning11 @Namecheap Just as bad is that when posting warnings under obvious scam posts on FB I get warnings and deletions as my warning 'goes against community standards' WTF

  • dcsan david 'DC' collier (@dcsan) reported

    @alidasun @Namecheap Fwiw I find namecheap had the best support among registrars but it must be stressful with an impending expiration.

  • Makcsecurity markkenyon_cs (@Makcsecurity) reported

    @JimBrowning11 @Namecheap Jim, when I worked for Sainsburys (which included Argos), we had this issue. For some reason domain registrar's are slow to act, & have no AI in place to stop it. Of course my only conclusion is that every £/euro/$ spent, means legitimate companies have to argue the case.
