Namecheap Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • sebsworld Seb Gibbs (@sebsworld) reported

    @Namecheap @JimBrowning11 wow, I’ve submitted so many domains like this to namecheap, took days to respond saying they are ‘investigating’, months to take down the site. About 50% of scammers I come across are using them. Namecheap needs to review their process.

  • cryptoShields CryptoShields.eth (@cryptoShields) reported

    @MizzMarshaS @Namecheap Definitely! The website is down but they already got a new one up 😫

  • gamer4life4 freakshowgamings (@gamer4life4) reported

    @JamesAThurber @JimBrowning11 @Namecheap and they took them all down.

  • 0Sarwan temapo (@0Sarwan) reported

    @JimBrowning11 @Namecheap Hey jim, I was wondering if you know anything about Facebook page scamming people do, i have seen alot of people do this crap and sell those pages with certain price's, i have no idea how that works, seeing people getting scam really hurts. I know bunch of people that do this

  • 59702_ Steele (@59702_) reported

    @JamesAThurber @JimBrowning11 @Namecheap why would a web host service investigate websites reported to be scams? we need to get to the bottom of this right now

  • YellowScope Jason (@YellowScope) reported

    @netsolcares This is a basic function. No thank you, I'll just have my clients leave the service. And switch to a competitor like GoDaddy, or Namecheap which are better experiences all around.

  • stratis_derm Stratis-Dermanoutsos (@stratis_derm) reported

    Had to take down my portfolio page. It was hosted on Github Pages on /portfolio. When applying a custom domain from Namecheap, I could not, no matter what I did, send it to /portfolio again. It always deployed itself on the main page. Anyone can help with this?

  • kristofcreative Kristof (@kristofcreative) reported

    @jenniferbourn @paultobey @Namecheap I’ve been through this HUNDREDS of times. File a DMCA with Google as well. If the hosting co takes the site down, then great. If not, Google can remove them from the index.

  • olaniyimichael4 Excel (@olaniyimichael4) reported

    @GoDaddy hello, I'm trying to get a domain from your platform but having serious issue with payment. Kindly help me please. #domainregistral @GoDaddy @Namecheap

  • SteveWebb steve.webb (@SteveWebb) reported

    @HNSDOMAINS @Namecheap @Porkbun At the Gateway Registry, the TLD owner decides. TLD/ isn't an SLD so that's not an issue.

  • JemzStoned 💎 Jemz ****** 💎 (@JemzStoned) reported

    @Namecheap i cancelled my autorenew and you still charged me? What ******** for a website i haven't used in years. You took a good chunk of my rent im pissed.

  • mikiobraun Mikio Braun, still wearing 😷 (@mikiobraun) reported

    @Namecheap Thank you very much! Also to clarify, it wasn't your fault the site went dark for a while, that was because I forgot to handle the transfer and df decided to shut it down a bit prematurely.

  • CenturyAvocado Hambone Fakenamington (@CenturyAvocado) reported

    @Neo__TA @JimBrowning11 @Namecheap Historically they used to do nothing about abuse on their service however in the last 6 months it has been an entirely different experience. Abuse take down to have been swift and efficient, I'm seeing a lot of people moving to go daddy for the phishing pages now.

  • lulunwenyi aunTy luLu🦄 (@lulunwenyi) reported

    @alixaprodev @CoderNotesBot @hashnode i use namecheap, their pricing and support is great

  • plambrechtsen Peter (@plambrechtsen) reported

    @DylanReeve @Namecheap I was quite impressed as well. Had a scam sms and emailed abuse at namecheap and while they didn’t respond to me the site seemed to get taken down within an hour or so.

  • bubbletiplister Tiplister for Bubble (@bubbletiplister) reported

    @StitchedOn great idea and customer base to launch it on. Have always liked namecheap

  • snwokenk Sam N (@snwokenk) reported

    @Namecheap please can you check your service. 2 of my domains A records are mixed up, when I check through dnschecker.

  • PeepoHNS PeepoHNS/ (@PeepoHNS) reported

    Once Namecheap gets fully situated with Namebase I feel support is going to be outstanding with very little issues. I've been a customer of Namecheap for years and they never let me down. I really do have faith in them! $HNS

  • MREntsGroupLtd Mike Russ Entertainments Group LTD (@MREntsGroupLtd) reported

    A Message to all our Colleagues who work in the Performing Arts or Entertainments Ind. don't have a website or emails from @Namecheap doesnt support those who work in Performing Arts or Entertainments Ind. I am talking to the Entire World DONT DEAL WITH THEM!!

  • olaniyimichael4 Excel (@olaniyimichael4) reported

    @Namecheap @GoDaddy In as much as GoDaddy is not responding, I'm switching to Namecheap immediately. I want to buy a domain name, can I pay from from my PayPal account directly?? That's the issue I'm having

  • _frankschaefer Frank (@_frankschaefer) reported

    Absolutely despise @GoDaddy their service is so clunky and they’re scam artists. Use @Namecheap or Google Domains instead.

  • YoungbloodJoe Joe Youngblood (@YoungbloodJoe) reported

    @EddiesTech @Porkbun @Namecheap I'm a Namecheap customer, that price was accurate as of the last renewal I had (day before publishing).

  • decryptlyfe Damián (@decryptlyfe) reported

    @mvortiz Wow wtf @Namecheap "none of your business" should be the answer here. It's why I've only bought domains through Google domains lately. **** namecheap

  • ReconScammers ReconScammers (@ReconScammers) reported

    @jtevita80 @JimBrowning11 @Namecheap They provide domains and hosting, an essential part of the web. Namecheap actually takes them down, it isn't there fault scammers use their service.

  • tot_casserole TaterTotCasserole (@tot_casserole) reported

    @KaylaHo07212299 @JimBrowning11 @Namecheap You're full of ****. How can dating sites be a scam?

  • diemendesign Diemen Design (@diemendesign) reported

    @TheRmbomo @JimBrowning11 @Namecheap If EIG's registrar's and hosting were closed down, that would remove a hell of a lot of them in the marketplace. At least it would leave the genuine ones still active. Closing them will also create mass hysteria for all the people that use them.

  • whoislornsby Who is Lornsby? (@whoislornsby) reported

    @Namecheap are SUPER useless at data protection. They just dumped all my personal details into an email and sent it to me asking me to check it. There is now an email sitting in my inbox with all my personal details inc my address!! Wtf are they playing at!?!

  • yanis__42 Yanis 🔭 (@yanis__42) reported

    @Namecheap It’s possible with another service ?

  • Ibrahim__thinks Ibrahim | WordPress Doc (@Ibrahim__thinks) reported

    @PeterJev @garanntor You should ask them to restore a recent backup and then move to another hosting when it's back. I had one domain with them and might be transferring out too . I only trust Namecheap with my hosting because of their top notch customer support.
