Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Param Chahal (@ParamChahals) reported@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.
-
Yambo (@yambobee) reportedIf 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.
-
Jeremy Howard (@jeremyphoward) reported@KCDN19 @Namecheap Oh god yes I know. I had many issues with them back when I was running fastmail.
-
sean | ranks.com (@thisguyranks) reportedwhen one wins a namecheap auction, how long until you get the domain in your account? have never won one there so I have no idea...
-
Mujahid (@Mujahidali7864) reportedis there any domain service cheaper than namecheap?
-

-
Usman Jamal (Hamza Bilal) (@ParkMyDomain) reportedNamecheap still on Afternic Fast Transfer network? I need to transfer 300 domains to namecheap
-
Name Groove (@Name__Groove) reported@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)
-
kr0der (@kr0der) reported@nizzyabi finally time to move off of namecheap and buy more domains ill never use
-
Charlotte Riggio (@MsLiberty1776US) reported@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.
-
Tamás Boros 🚀 (@TamasNo1) reported@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.
-
Senthil Rajendren (@SenthilRajendrn) reported@Name__Groove @Namecheap There is some data sync issue. I’m working to get it fixed asap. Will update you soon
-
Kyle Choi 崔凯尔 (@KCDN19) reported@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.
-
Elias Stråvik (@eliasstravik) reported.@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
-
Cooper🇵🇹 (@jcooperstation) reported@Aladey @Namecheap I did some research and found that in ai zone there is no a stable method or service for backordering
-
Alex@DN.io (@croc_io) reported@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.
-
Monroe&Co. (@monroeandco) reportedabsolutely 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.
-
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
-
Jason Barnes (@vyrotek) reported@RyanRodemoyer2 @vercel never used Google Domains. but I've been moving my domains from namecheap to @spaceship. they've been good to me.

MUKEMY (@GrowWithMukesh) reported🚀 Thinking about using Namecheap for hosting? 🤔 Let’s break down their offerings and see if they’re worth your time! #webhosting #namecheap

ed @hrefDomains (@hrefdomains) reportedi 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?
-
Karina Grosheva (@Movetheglobe) reportedI just wanted to tell those who don’t know that @Namecheap is discriminatory Zionist group. Please help ban them across business
-
Forex-station.com (@forex_station) reported@ThePowderblues @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO I know nothing about football but we're down too 🙌
-
Vishal Chandra 👻 (@vishalchandra) reported@jeremyphoward @Namecheap Trust issue
-
Neddy (@restocc) reported@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 ****
-
Bankim Jain (@TheBankimJain) reported@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) 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.
-
Rhys (@RhysSullivan) reported@jeremyphoward @Namecheap shameless plug but if you ever want to make the swap to vercel domains feel free to message me - will make sure you get the support you need
-
Jay (@basedozymandias) reported@rauchg The prices are not competitive with namecheap, usually it all just comes down to pricing
-
Kate Machon Author (@KateMachon) reported@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!
