Namecheap Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    The dispute arose when GoDaddy denied Spaceship (Namecheap's platform) entry to Afternic's fast-transfer network and imposed fees for transfers out, leading Spaceship to launch Sellerhub in April 2025 as a rival marketplace with 5% commissions (vs Afternic's 15-30%). Afternic, the world's largest, has 100+ resellers and 85M monthly searches, tied to GoDaddy's 81M domains. Sellerhub targets tech users but is much smaller, with Namecheap's ~14M domains—Richard's "similar reach" claim appears overstated based on market data.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @marknoble @Namecheap Exactly—LLMs could easily flag gibberish patterns like "untdstatd" via entropy analysis or regex, with searches showing zero legit matches. Namecheap's spam issues persist due to profit priorities, not detection difficulty, per user complaints on Reddit and SpamCop.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    Detecting spam sites with LLMs isn't hard—they excel at analyzing content for patterns like keyword stuffing, low-quality links, or phishing traits, as shown in studies like ChatSpamDetector (2024). Namecheap likely prioritizes profits over aggressive monitoring, given ongoing complaints about hosting spammers. Implementing LLM-based scans could help, but scale and privacy hurdles remain.

  • CodedNeurons Carlos Herrera (@CodedNeurons) reported

    Have to say, most tech support can currently be handed by Grok and similar AI services, but they still do not compare to @Namecheap support. These guys solve issues in a matter of minutes and are crazily accurate. Cheers to the team!

  • TurekwPolsce un̤ɓzO̤ (@TurekwPolsce) reported

    @Namecheap @IyiAzu Yo NameCheap, we also need help on something. Someone is impersonating our company to scam people with the same address and phone number. Any help ?

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    For a history website, opt for reliable, affordable hosting like Hostinger (budget-friendly, fast loading for content sites) or SiteGround (excellent support, WordPress-optimized). For domains, use Namecheap or Porkbun—both offer low-cost registration with privacy features. Start with a .org TLD for credibility. Ensure HTTPS and backups are included.

  • NameCrabCom NameCrab | Chat.CX (@NameCrabCom) reported

    @dynatodd it's @Namecheap, after talking to the support they activate that status for the domain.

    ovh is a ******* pain in the ***, configuring for 2h some dns records on it and for some reason i failed ONE single thing now I can't edit what I did or remove it, I don't even find the support and the only thing i found was how to upgrade their useless support plan, namecheap + hostinger was better lmao I don't recommend this garbage

  • Guillem_GH Guillem Castells (@Guillem_GH) reported

    @AdityaShips I do not recommend go daddy. Use namecheap or any other ones. Bad experience with it.

  • yashasvigirdhar Yashasvi (@yashasvigirdhar) reported

    @AdityaShips I don't think you need it. Btw I had quite good experience with namecheap for buying domain for my website, including the customer care support.

  • kshitijkoranne Kshitij Koranne (@kshitijkoranne) reported

    @AdityaShips Please dont use godaddy. use Namecheap. very very good service. purchased 4+ domains. Never had any problems.

  • nelsontjordan Nelson (@nelsontjordan) reported

    Random things I learned today: - Namecheap doesn't use CNAME, instead it's an ALIAS record - Vercel is really cool, but hard to navigate as a newbie without AI help - I drink a tonne of water when I'm walking on my treadmill 🥵

  • SystemDesignDev Daniel Kim (@SystemDesignDev) reported

    @trikcode Been using Namecheap, no problem at all. Was thinking of trying cloudflare

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    Namecheap is exploiting a .ai loophole: 🔸 Promotes domains at $2.99 🔸 But renewals are actually $185.96 for 2 years 🔸 Cancel → forces domain into “redemption” → + $170 fee 🔸 End result: ~$356 total for 2 years They blame “registry pricing” and slim margins.

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    @Namecheap Your phone number is not working for this line which is a direct violation of ICANN.

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    @Namecheap I just emailed you the Support pin. And yes, you are forcing my hand. I have no one to call to have a private conversation with and no one is responding via the website tools.

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    @Namecheap @SecurityNow Steve can you please help me with this issue? Do you agree with companies not offering phone support to their loyal customers?

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    @Namecheap What kind of reputable business doesn’t offer phone support? I am so tired of these Internet companies not offering a single phone number for us as loyal customers to reach out to.

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    @Namecheap Of course you don’t offer phone support. I’ve already contacted the support team via the live chat and nobody was responding.

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    @Namecheap There’s no security lapse with me, simply requesting a refund. I’ve tried to reach out to the live channel. I’ve sent an email. Nobody is responding. Please issue a refund immediately for the funds that you stole from me.

  • MichaelSwengel Michael Swengel (@MichaelSwengel) reported

    @open__video And why would we need your service for that? I could just buy a domain name from Namecheap, GoDaddy, Siteground, or any of a thousand others, and point it to the channel.

  • elielson_and elielson (@elielson_and) reported

    @trikcode i use hostinger/namecheap and have never had any problems, so far

  • jit_sark26 Jude Sarkar (@jit_sark26) reported

    @buddy7 @GoDaddy @Namecheap Godaddy customer support is horrible, they say things like "I hope the issue is resolved dear" They really need to train their customer support team

  • noctibyte Noctibyte (@noctibyte) reported

    Namecheap is nice and simple. Biggest consistent issue I’ve had with godaddy over the nearly 20 years I’ve used them for various things is the constant attempts to upsell you on useless junk. Otherwise they aren’t as bad as everyone claims. Also, trying to make you buy SSL certificates..

  • renxzen Renx (@renxzen) reported

    @trikcode @Namecheap **** godaddy bro

  • Jilles Jilles Soeters (@Jilles) reported

    @denitechdev @trikcode Long time namecheap user, recently switched to Cloudflare because I use them for all my DNS anyway. Never looking back

  • TickerInvest0 TickerInvest (@TickerInvest0) reported

    @trikcode Never use GoDaddy. It's worst website. GoDaddy sells everything at very high cost while NameCheap has everything at very affordable rates.
