  • MichaelFr777man Michael Freeman (@MichaelFr777man) reported

    @levelsio Have you seen what Perplexity Comet browser can do ? It diagnosed my email DNS record problems. Went to an MX diagnosis site. Then operated my Virtualmin host pages as well as added records at Namecheap. Navigated all the pages perfectly and did not make a single mistake ! I was very impressed 😳

  • generaltsoluna General Tso (@generaltsoluna) reported

    @snigdhasur @Namecheap What was their reason for shutting you down

  • AGreatDomain Bob Hawkes (@AGreatDomain) reported

    @Namecheap I think the problem is that if slow to complete searched TLD, or if it is one NC does not handle, it automatically starts showing Handshake results. I have spent too many hours to count with Namecheap search over the years. This has changed sometime last few weeks.

  • retiremeplz Up and Up and Up and Up and (@retiremeplz) reported

    So it looks like @Namecheap just says that they have “24/7 support” and meanwhile it’s been since January 25th that my website has been down due to them. Repeated emails with nothing - and no way to contact them otherwise. Be weary

  • Cyespx Cyespx (@Cyespx) reported

    @signulll Yea Godaddy is the worst for that. I have never had that happen on Namecheap fwiw.

  • sagortech Asadujjaman Sagor (@sagortech) reported

    Namecheap shared servers are DOWN!! #namecheap #namecheaphosting #namecheapservers

  • ArapKariuki Duke of Ruiru (@ArapKariuki) reported

    @Namecheap All my websites hosted on my Namecheap server are suddenly down. What's happening?

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @coltrain8224 @balajis With Bitcoin, you can buy electronics (Newegg), domains (Namecheap), meals (Chipotle, Starbucks), travel (Travala), luxury items (Gucci), gift cards for Amazon/Walmart, subscriptions (ExpressVPN), and even cars or real estate in select markets. In 2026, options include Lightning Network for fast payments and crypto cards for broader use.

  • iam_YashM iamYashM (@iam_YashM) reported

    Our website has been down for hours with a 504 Gateway Time-out (nginx). @Namecheap claims the issue is fixed, but nothing has changed on our end. “Live chat support” seems to mean automated email replies only.

  • Amazingsofe Shedrack Ekpegbue | BCE_2025 @unijos (@Amazingsofe) reported

    @Namecheap @bcon_global @KASTxyz can you solve this problem?

  • altruistic_in Rakesh (@altruistic_in) reported

    @Namecheap is there any issue? Hosted websites are not working. Neither is cpanel loading

  • Rajesh7113 Rajesh M (@Rajesh7113) reported

    @agusvrancic Consider Namecheap, Google Domains, or Cloudflare Registrar. They offer competitive pricing, ease of use, and often better customer support than GoDaddy.

  • MihneaDeVries Mihnea de Vries (@MihneaDeVries) reported

    @gregisenberg i never use it, it was namecheap, the google when they started, the claudflare when they google domains stoped working.

  • James16622 James Ward (@James16622) reported

    @iam_YashM @Namecheap I have the same issue

  • mrpeller_ pamilerin (@mrpeller_) reported

    Is there a way to migrate mails from namecheap—private mail to google workspace? Simply, I want to be able to login a private mail email address on gmail

  • temi_convert Temi (@temi_convert) reported

    @Namecheap help?

  • introsp3ctor Mike Dupont (@introsp3ctor) reported

    Having a brief technical outage on vercel with DNS namecheap sorry

  • seo_leaders Andrew C (@seo_leaders) reported

    @bitdeep_ @signulll Never had that from namecheap, for years for me they have always been reliable and good support.

  • chuckleupen Chuck Leupen (@chuckleupen) reported

    @signulll Namecheap is the only one I’ve ever used bc godaddy is so frustrating and I can’t tell people I’ve used a service with that name

  • DomainGoodness Domain Goodness (@DomainGoodness) reported

    does @spaceship or @namecheap provide this service for .de domain registrations? "a .de domain registration requires an authorized representative (or "Admin-C") with a valid German address if the domain owner is not located in Germany".

  • ilisabawn_ng ILISABAWN | Custom Handmade Shoes (@ilisabawn_ng) reported from Jinadu Aiyetoro Ward, Lagos State

    @mrpeller_ Yes. Create the email in Google Workspace, migrate from Namecheap via IMAP, then point your domain's MX records to Google. You’ll be able to sign in on Gmail with that address.

  • NotNordgaren The Bingus Man (@NotNordgaren) reported

    @rmiyazaki3 Weird. I was just told how great namecheap was and terrible godaddy is...

  • stevefunnels Steve| Full-Stack Sales Funnel Builder (@stevefunnels) reported

    @joesteve__ @iksly2 Yeah I did, but I think GO54 is such a **** place to get email hosting, I was struggling to pay on namecheap that was why I had to go for WhoGoHost

  • Pratikdevv pratik (@Pratikdevv) reported

    @Namecheap i have been trying to get support on getting access to my account for a week but the support is absolute **** no response at all

  • eryoungboy Erioluwa Oluyombo (@eryoungboy) reported

    Currently chatting with a Namecheap support agent, and I now believe this guy is as clueless as I am.

  • tom_galland Tom Galland (@tom_galland) reported

    @signulll namecheap mate. never had that happen once in 10+ years

  • loganflatt Logan (@loganflatt) reported

    @angsuman Did you even read the details of this case? Namecheap is following the judge's court orders. Any "shutting down" of her startup's domain is due to the judge, not Namecheap. She needs to go complain to the judge, not air her ***** laundry in public on X.

  • julianengel Julian Engel (@julianengel) reported

    @ntropiq Richard, hands down. They followed court decisions, and their terms do have an indemnification clause. She was the registrant, not the company, so she was in an agreement with Namecheap (and their ToS)

  • soho_ca sofiane (@soho_ca) reported

    @signulll namecheap has by far the richest domain search service out there. try generating a csv with chatgpt and dump it in beast mode. best thing since sliced bread.

  • HamzaNachite hamza nachite (@HamzaNachite) reported

    Guys, I’ve had a lot of problems recently with Namecheap, so I’m thinking about switching to @ContaboCom. For starting a SaaS ERP, do you think this configuration is enough? CPU: 6 vCPU cores RAM: 12 GB Storage: 100 GB NVMe (or 200 GB SSD) Snapshots: 2 Any feedback 🙏
