    @Namecheap All my websites on your Stellar Plus and Stellar Business are either not loading (Cloudflare 502 Connection timed out) or load extremely slow. I have tried with your chat support numerous times but my issues never got solved.

    If you're looking for an example of some of the worst customer service you can get from a SaaS product, look no further than @Namecheap. I've had to go back and forth with their support multiple times. Not recommended.

    @Namecheap Yea, something is broken - not sure on what side. NC's search isn't as robust as domain360 - there is no way to search the way I'd like (via a specific prefix and/or suffix, max length, etc)

    @Namecheap After 18 YEARS as a loyal customer with 40 domains, you’ve locked me out of my own main account. Your “verification codes” never arrive, your support sends me links I can’t read (I’m blind), and now my business-critical domains are being held hostage. Shameful. Fix this NOW.

    @jeremyphoward @Namecheap I used to be their customer until I switched to Cloudflare. Namecheap is good until you have to contact support. No matter how big or small the issue is, they're useless.

    @jeremyphoward @Namecheap Just be thankful that you aren't with the blackmailers at SpamHaus. Very bad guys. They knocked my hobbyist website off the internet for 6 weeks and I managed to get it restored by the domain registry. SpamHaus says it's a spam domain solely on the basis that it's a .top.

    .@Namecheap uses a human name as you start chatting with support, but it's actually a bot. then, they transfer you to a "live agent" – we'll see if this turns out to be a person or bot too. this is terrible ux. tell me if im talking to ai or not. get @chatbase already

    @Aladey @Namecheap I did some research and found that in ai zone there is no a stable method or service for backordering

    @dynatodd It is definitely the best mobile app for a domain registrar I've used. Namecheap's app sucks. And the GD Investor app always logs me out.

  • monroeandco
    Monroe&Co. (@monroeandco) reported

    absolutely transferring 100% of my domains away from .@Namecheap and advising all of my clients to do the same. have never received such condescending service from a company that i've paid THOUSANDS to over a decade.

  • MsLiberty1776US
    Charlotte Riggio (@MsLiberty1776US) reported

    @Namecheap Namecheap Support telling a blind customer of 10 YEARS ( Multiple domains and extras) to “read the FAQ” instead of helping me is shameful. When locked out and won’t send me a verification link I don’t need links — I need my account unlocked. Business-critical domains are being held hostage. Fix this. #Accessibility #disabilitydiscrimination

    i was hunting a domain name for about 3 years.. and it went on redemption/reactivation/pending delete. It was registered with namecheap. I looked in the aftermarket and i couldnt find it. today it started resolving to gname. i was able to get it for $15. does namecheap (or gname) have a relationship or something? im curious why not mark it up higher? i wonder what was the signal that made gname want to register it then to sell it for only $15?

    @rauchg UI is way cleaner than the others. when i was buying up domains before though one of the reasons i didn’t use vercel was price difference, has this improved recently? i mostly use namecheap and their site is dog ****

    @sh0kunin Aman, a domain which gets renewed for approx 9000INR in my GD a/c now @GoDaddy is leving a redemption fees of 8000INR. Pure greed that is being displayed. No other registrar does it @Namecheap is another place where I shop domains but never that were bothered

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @investmentdomai Hey, that does sound shady. Domain front-running claims pop up sometimes—mixed reports on Dynadot, with some users reporting similar issues, others not. Double-check via independent WHOIS tools or try registrars like Namecheap. Got the domain name? I can help verify its status.

    @rauchg The prices are not competitive with namecheap, usually it all just comes down to pricing

    @thelordoffishes I use Wordpress which I'm pleased with. Name's registered with Namecheap and host is Siteground. I watched loads of YouTube videos to figure out how to set one up. My baddie in book 3 is a bad angel. I guess I could work him into a demon. Still writing!
