  @kalashvasaniya totally agreed, one crucial advice i can give is to keep domain and hosting service different. Will ideally prefer about it can look namecheap or porkbun for domain and netlify or hostinger for hoosting rest please do your own research

  @Namecheap has probably the worst customer support I've ever had to deal with. I've been locked out of my account and haven't gotten a single reply to any of the emails I've sent.

  @adahstwt I’ve been using Namecheap for a while now, generally good integrations with other apps which make it easy to use. Pork bun is pretty decent too Will never understand why godaddy is called godaddy lol Squarespace in my experience is the most annoying to deal with for domain management tbh

  @13_narcissus tbh they're all over the place currently. Some are at Hostinger, some at namecheap, some at other German legacy service providers... need to consolidate but low prio

  @AlfinCodes Namecheap altho I had a bad experience with them and it took time to get resolved. Cloudfare is a better option.

  @Anas_founder @manas_builds yeah was the same for me. tried to transfer a .de domain to namecheap once and it didn't work. Namecheap support told me that I should use their new platform which is Spaceship. looks much more modern and stuff

  @Namecheap Almost a day 'fighting' with your tech team about port 80 blocked (VPS). Proof: fresh installs, external tests, logs — packets time out externally on :80 while :8080 works! Your team just points back at me. Can someone from your network/infra team really look at this?

  @Hexangelo5 You are right about that! Pulsechain,com is registered through there, as are lots of other pulsechain project websites. While Namecheap built its brand on privacy advocacy (e.g., fighting for customer data protection in courts), control now sits largely with a Luxembourg-based PE giant whose incentives are financial returns, not ideological privacy maximalism. The registrant data required by ICANN lives in a system where EU corporate oversight meets US legal demands. In an era of rising data breaches, surveillance, and regulatory flux, relying on any large registrar under PE ownership means trusting opaque boardroom decisions with your identity footprint. Diversifying to independent or privacy-first alternatives reduces single points of failure.

  Watch for emails pretending to be support at @Namecheap, thankfully NameCheap has good SPF records in place, fake storage is full emails. If you get one of these, tell your email administrator to tighten up their SPF checks.@DatalixDE IP address 45.11.229.]113 this time

  @Arfness @1grid_hosting Just been through the drama of moving client domains away from NameCheap (in protest of their pro-Zionist BS). I need to find a home for novelty TLDs that Xneelo doesn't support. Can you recommend anything?

  My domain has become too expensive I can't afford it (it wasn't that much when I bought it in 2023, it's getting expensive with each year) soo, I'm thinking of switching domains, and using cloudflare this time not namecheap but I'm gonna lose all my seo progress damn, idk what do you think guys?

  @anne_engineer 1) odd as I've been on the site most of the morning 2) namecheap has had an ssl problem 3) I'll try some different browsers and see

  @its_sidraa Why not skip namecheap and just use cloudflare for both domain and DNS? Cloudflare actually puts my website on the map. Namecheap I never seen it and was hard for others to surface. Other than that it makes sense.

  @FrancescoCiull4 How is Namecheap nowadays? I dropped them a while back as prices went up and quality down.

  @Namecheap Fix your servers!!! 33% packet lost to 8.8.8.8 is unacceptable even for a server in Africa. Your tech support telling me to reboot and change hostname. They clueless. This is a serious production software. Fix your servers and educate your tech support!!!

  مركز مهارات الإبداع للتدريب (@cstcksa) reported 54 minutes ago

  @Namecheap Unfortunately, we have had an extremely poor experience with the current hosting provider. Despite multiple attempts to communicate through email and official support channels, we have received no response regarding our inquiries, technical support requests, or account management matters. The complete lack of communication and customer support has caused significant operational difficulties and has negatively affected the management of our website and educational platform. This level of service raises serious concerns about the provider's reliability, professionalism, and commitment to its contractual obligations. We respectfully request an immediate response to our pending requests and a prompt resolution of all outstanding issues. If the company is unable or unwilling to provide the required support, we request full cooperation in transferring the hosting account and related services to an alternative provider without further delay.

  For the first time in 10 years, I moved the .io domain out of Namecheap to save $25 on renewal lol; never thought of moving any of the 2k+ domains I've managed with Namecheap for years. 3x the price is unjustifiable. Could potentially save up to $10k a year by moving every single one to Cloudflare on renewal. But that’s a very big headache doing one by one, so i’ll pass for now!

  Waking up to @Namecheap being down is not how I wanted to finish off my weekend. I've never seen an outage like this before with them!
