Namecheap Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TomoLifeUpdates
    Tomodachi Life Updates (@TomoLifeUpdates) reported

    @Namecheap We'd appreciate it if your abuse team could take a look at tomodachilife[.]gg and tomoez[.]com (X has flagged both domains in posts already). We've received multiple reports from users who believed these sites were associated with an official web version/port of Nintendo's Tomodachi Life. The sites appear to be hosting a CAPTCHA scam disguised as an in-game Tomodachi Life menu, using Nintendo's branding and trademark in a way that may mislead users. A separate domain hosting the same scam, tomodachilife[.]cc, has already been taken down following reports. Could someone from your team review these domains and their operators or direct us to the appropriate reporting channel?

    @ChrisProd_ @Echotheglitch8 What Glitch is probably doing right now is probably consulting with the Registrar (NiceNIC, which they also don't use. Glitch uses Tucows, Namecheap, and GoDaddy) to get the domain taken down. Or, they might not be doing anything. Who knows.

    @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.

    - Claude = coding. ($20/mo) - Supabase = backend. (Free) - Vercel = deploying. (Free) - Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) - Stripe = payments. (2.9%/transaction) - GitHub = version control. (Free) - Resend = emails. (Free) - Clerk = auth. (Free) - Cloudflare = DNS. (Free) - PostHog = analytics. (Free) - Sentry = error tracking. (Free) - Upstash = Redis. (Free) - Pinecone = vector DB. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20 There has never been a cheaper time to build.

    @namesilo @Namecheap NameSilo dead rate is 60%+ for fresh domains (0-6mo) โ€” domains are born dead. Namecheap fresh domains are 25% dead (normal setup delay). This means NameSilo domains were never intended to be used.

    My current indie hacker stack in 2026: - Claude for Coding - Stripe for Payments - GitHub for Version Control - Vercel for Deployment - Supabase for Backend - Clerk for Auth - Upstash for Redis - Pinecone for Vector DB - Resend for Emails - Namecheap for Domain - Cloudflare for DNS - PostHog for Analytics - Sentry for Error Tracking You can build and ship a complete startup from your bedroom in 2026. The barrier has never been lower ๐Ÿ’ช

    @Namecheap thx for the heads up! I'll reach out the support. but don't be alarmed bc you're my first choice to buy domain sice ever! and I'll continue to buy!

    @Codebender_Cate Noooooo! The GoDaddy control panel is terrible and slow. I have a few domains there because Namecheap doesn't support all of the TLDs that I use. However, I'm certainly not disagreeing with the prices, it feels like the recent increases have been quite steep...

  • kekkodamato_
    Kekko Dโ€™Amato (@kekkodamato_) reported

    @TTrimoreau Cloudflare Registrar if your TLD is supported โ€” at-cost pricing (literally no markup), best DNS control, DNSSEC built in, zero upsells. Namecheap otherwise. Free WhoisGuard, clean UI, rarely issues. GoDaddy is a trap โ€” they charge 3x and count on you not noticing at renewal.

    @NamecheapCEO I used Namebase (owned by @Namecheap) to manage my funds. Three months ago, you sold the platform without notifying your clients. Since Namecheap sold the platform, I have lost access to my funds, and this issue has now been ongoing for more than three months.

  • felix_guo_daxia
    Felix Guo (@felix_guo_daxia) reported

    @itsaaroshi Fr, straight honest answer: Cloudflare for DNS, management, and zero sketchy upsells.Porkbun & Cloudflare all the way.Porkbun for cheap, clean domain pricing + free privacy. Namecheap mid, Dynadot solid but UI clunky.Never touch GoDaddy (scammy upsells, overpriced). No cringe hidden fees, no forced add-ons, just simple domains.

    .@Namecheap locks your account Support : You have to check the email we sent Me : No email, dumbass Support : Ok write to security, they'll reply in 2 hours Me : OK, doing it ... 5 hours later... nothing Current status: no access to my domain, can't swap my DNS. I rly think they don't give a **** about their customers... a huge and deep f*ck you. Have you seen a worst company ? Tell me more... @NamecheapCEO

    @jacksimone78 Yeah Namecheap I host with DigitalOcean Droplets, it's support is good and also it seems cost effective

    @RealTripleA I know exactly what happened. I cc'd the "host" and they took it down to prevent Namecheap from seeing it. Won't give them the heads up next time.

    @adahstwt Iโ€™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

    The most powerful thing a platform can do is make you feel like you don't need your guard up. Namecheap does that. Not by promising the world. By just... not being awful.

    Iโ€™ve usually had very good experiences with @Namecheap and their customer service but today I have been on with a live agent for more than 30 mins and they canโ€™t resolve my issue after wasting my time they are now transferring me to a different department. SMH

    @nalinrajput23 NAMECHEAP only. Godaddy has worst support system they ask you things like interns running support system.

    @Namecheap Almost a day 'fighting' with your tech team about port 80 blocked (VPS). Proof: fresh installs, external tests, logs โ€” 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?

    @levelsio When Cloudflare has had issues in the past did it impact domains? Always afraid to use them for the outages. I've had zero downtime from Namecheap and Hetzner in the last 2 years but Cloudflare has had multiple outages in that time.

    I am the owner of Azure subscription and tenant. After moving my verified domain from GoDaddy to NameCheap, I am now completely locked out of this subscription and tenant. I cannot log in or access any resources. I no longer need this subscription or any of its resources (already replaced) . I would like to permanently cancel and delete the entire subscription (including all associated resources, databases, Key Vaults, etc.) to close this account cleanly. @AzureSupport

    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!

  • resolvervicky
    Resolver Vicky | Dev ๐Ÿ”ง (@resolvervicky) reported

    Cloudflare Registrar sells domains at cost and they make zero profit on domain registration. It's a loss leader to get you on their platform. That's why the renewal price never spikes. Namecheap's first-year discount is a customer acquisition trick; the real price is the renewal. Agree?

    @Namecheap I just wanted to let you guys know that Iโ€™ve contacted my local law-enforcement to stop some websites that youโ€™re hosting from scamming any further. Iโ€™ve asked repeatedly fake the domain down and you refuse now Iโ€™m pursuing legal action.๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก
