Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Aarón (@AaronCornellius) reported@mddanishyusuf @Cloudflare @Namecheap I use namecheap and have had some issues. Probably going to do this too and move to Cloudflare
-
Vivek Teegalapally (@vivekteega) reported@prbhtkumr @Namecheap @snigdhasur Went through the Snigdha Sur case, it looks like there is some legality issue with their domain being used in India. Will read more to understand before making any judgement. Ps - I use namecheap for my website domain and it has worked great for me.
-
Maya (@buildwithmaya) reported@janstevens @Namecheap it really is haha, tbh its better than go daddy I used to be a loyal customer but with Namecheap I am def spending way less than what I did with godaddy
-
Shimazu.S (@ShimazuSystems) reported@robintel And also IONOS was abysmal for setting up DNS stuff (this is partly on Google/Firebase though), never had this issue with namecheap DNS
-
Link Robins (@linkrobinsllc) reportedI've been a Namecheap customer for at least a decade... They're okay... But their VPS services are terrible. They run them on outdated architecture and the resources are very minimal. Better to go Hostinger for VPS.
-
현빈 | Hyunbin (@hyunbinseo97) reportedI didn't like Squarespace Domains, but they - support TLD not supported by Cloudflare Registar - the transfer price Namecheap is calling is absurd I guess I will have to stay for these two domains.
-
Mykhailo Sorochuk (@sir4K_zen) reported@omarvvvr i go with Namecheap – straightforward UI, decent renewal rates and reliable support
-
Vivek Teegalapally (@vivekteega) reported@prbhtkumr @Namecheap Why so? What are the issues?
-
Christina Panina (@ChristinaPanin1) reported@justdevopsguy @Namecheap Hi! Christina, Private Email Product Manager here. Can you provide more details on where you observe the issue? We'll investigate with the team, as this is not how the service is supposed to work.
-
Lg Shurley (@SurelyLg) reportedBe careful with @Namecheap. They have poor customer service and extremely strict refund policies. Even when they make an error, they’ll fight you on giving a refund and try to lowball you with a tiny credit. Just a heads up. #namecheap

Avdhoottt (@avdhootttt) reportedIf you want to build a startup that actually has users: Claude = coding. (more like $100+) Supabase = backend. ($25-599/mo once you cross free tier) Vercel = deploying. ($20-150+/mo once you get real traffic) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr, ok this one's real) Stripe = payments. (2.9% + 30¢/transaction) GitHub = version control. (free) Resend = emails. (free until 3k emails, then $20/mo+) Clerk = auth. (free until 10k MAU, then $25/mo+) Cloudflare = DNS. (free, genuinely) PostHog = analytics. (free until you cross the free tier) Sentry = error tracking. (free until errors pile up) Upstash = Redis. (free until real traffic) Pinecone = vector DB. ($70/mo minimum) Total monthly cost to run a startup with actual users: $300-1000+ "$21/mo" is the cost to run a demo nobody uses.

Ro (@robuildsthings) reported@Gaus450 for some reason i chose namecheap about 15 years ago and have never ever tried anyone else lol, crazy how that happens, no reason at all just i have an account there haha
-
Can (@candirgen91) reported@Namecheap @isellgreatideas @Namecheap I received the same phishing email claiming there was a problem with my password. It redirected me to a fake Private Email login page. Many users got this at the same time. Could this indicate a security issue on your side? Please investigate
-
Max Builds (@MaxBuildsBuiz) reported@omarvvvr I trust namecheap the most, been using it for a while and never had any problems
-
TomorrowsBrands (@SeeBrands) reported@katerleonid godaddy have a few of my .cns but namecheap i have most on. i like namecheaps backend, and how easy it is to change dns etc.... and on having reseller hosting from them, everything is streamlined. Namecheap also has very good support. not sales people like i found on godaddy.
-
Luca Capone | Vibe Coder (@LucaCaponeX) reported@buildwithmaya @Namecheap Namecheap funded a whole graveyard of my half-built ideas. Buying the domain takes 5 minutes. Shipping the actual thing is where I disappear for 3 months. The domain was never the hard part.
-
TungstenCarb (@TungstenCarb) reportedAfter using @Namecheap's service for well over a decade, they've decided to raise my rates. I'm pretty disappointed. Are there any other good hosting providers that are low cost? I've already tried GoDaddy and their service was trash.
-
alencristen (@alencristen) reported@p_naix @spaceship maybe different managment team or something but honestly i'd stay away from anything namecheap related. very bad company
-
Aruna Dahal C B (@TennisBuddYs) reportedWhat happened to @Namecheap too? Why are they so bad? Did they get hacked? Feels like the more technology tries to do new things to get better & charge more the worse service gets and things break. Add AI & needing App to do everything its hopeless. I miss the good old days🫣😬

Brian Lee Mayes ✞ ❞𝓢𝓲𝔁❞ 𝓢𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓛𝓮𝓮 (@BrianLeeMayes) reported@Namecheap Namecheap used to offer easy choices between 3rd party, now it's all convoluted. I have some research to do. Perhaps a service that doesn't outsource their tech support with people that don't know anything, except how to search a database. Adios, farewell.

Mikhail Rogov (@i_mika_el) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap very strange. did Namecheap support confirm there is no manual transfer path either?
-
Johnny Picante (@JohnnyPic51) reported@CertainLogicAI @buildwithmaya @Namecheap Agreed for the validation phase — cheapest thing that ships wins. Where a geo-TLD earns its keep is after you've got signal and want the URL itself doing some work (local SEO, word-of-mouth memorability) instead of just hosting code.
-
Chris Seltzer (@ChrisSeltzer) reported@neerajjj6785 Really depends on what you're using it for and where your stuff will be hosted. If you're using a platform like AWS then buying it through them can save you some headaches down the line. Otherwise I've always used Namecheap but heard good things about Cloudflare.
-
Vivek Teegalapally (@vivekteega) reported@prbhtkumr @Namecheap I am still trying to understand, what is the issue that makes you say that?
-
openwa (@openwadev) reported@mddanishyusuf @Cloudflare @Namecheap split between cf and porkbun. dont put all your domains in one basket, especially the one you use to log in to the domain service.
-
Chris Ebert (@realchrisebert) reported@kopertop I’ll check those out. I was paying namecheap to do this, but their service wasn’t very good.
-
Rian (@Rian_Visser) reported@ItsKamranK You must use Cloudflare's nameservers for any domain registered or transferred through Cloudflare Registrar. No support for IDNs. No thank you, I do not have these restrictions and limitations with @Namecheap and will happily pay the increased fee to have control over my domain.

Brian Lee Mayes ✞ ❞𝓢𝓲𝔁❞ 𝓢𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓛𝓮𝓮 (@BrianLeeMayes) reported@Namecheap Turns out, y'all were doing maintenance, with no notice I could find. That should probably be shown on what ever login screen one uses...just a thought. Being 3rd party, IDK how that would work. I'm still talking to them about switching away from Roundcube. They don't know how.
