  • DoctorBrandx doctorbrand.eth🔥 dubai1x.com 🔥 metaverse1x.com (@DoctorBrandx) reported

    @DomainGuyUK My first 55 web3 domains were bought via Gateway. CEO of Namecheap promised to "extract" them and get them into everyones' Namecheap/Namebase account. That has still never happened. Where are all those domain names exactly? Come on Richard! Plz! @NamecheapCEO

  • darealdr808 Carrington Hezekiel Rashid (@darealdr808) reported

    @Namecheap is a scam, there system is not working well and they have refused to refund my money. This is serious

  • poselander Per-Ola 🇺🇸 🇸🇪 🐕 🏔 (always himself) (@poselander) reported

    @DavidGewirtz @GoDaddy I left them and went to @Namecheap. No issues so far - and lower fees.

  • mdnoorhadi Hadi (@mdnoorhadi) reported

    @Namecheap Is there a problem with your hosting servers? Our sites been super slow today.

  • DazeEnd Charles Perry (@DazeEnd) reported

    @Namecheap I need some help here. Your DNS is adding an erroneous A-record to my domain and sending website visitors to the wrong server. I submitted a ticket with screenshots (ticket: #MYM-516-19423), but have no response so far, and your live chat is turned off.

  • IntroToMig Cenizo! (@IntroToMig) reported

    @Namecheap I just purchased a domain and hosting yesterday and you already locked me out. This service is useless.

  • steffenmeisel Steffen (@steffenmeisel) reported

    I dont expect you forward this to your CEO or even to a support manager, but your support is frustration to say it at least. @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO @NamecheapPR

  • steffenmeisel Steffen (@steffenmeisel) reported

    Namecheap support: Please accept our apologies in misunderstanding in previous reply. We have not mentioned that you have Complete management with your VPS. Since, we do not need a root password from you.

  • Abdelmalik_Moh Mohamed Ait Abdelmalik (@Abdelmalik_Moh) reported

    Becasue you can get there almost 25 API website access,That world's most popular and successful business are helping github to make thier service struggle less. For example if you need an Domain name , it's not gonna cost or expensive any more,Namecheap is an Promotional partner

  • amandafiles amanda likes coffee (@amandafiles) reported

    @anomalistnews @GoDaddy Switch to namecheap. GoDaddy donates to bad causes.

  • DomainGuyUK 🅓🅞🅜🅐🅘🅝🅖🅤🅨 (@DomainGuyUK) reported

    @babasola10on10 Vc = namecheap Rest is @usesav as their customer service is quick and very helpful. Prices good. Easy to list on auctions. They are still small enough to get these factors all working. If I had high-end domains I would use godaddy as I think it’s more secure (just IMO)

  • steffenmeisel Steffen (@steffenmeisel) reported

    Namecheap support: please provide us with a valid root password so we can consult with our technical team further. Me: i'm on a managed VPS plan and dont have the root password.

  • AAutombile freshly tokunbo ride. (@AAutombile) reported

    @Namecheap @ZenithBank Not sure on what to do, have contacted the support team no good repsponse.

  • DanielWorsley_ Daniel Worsley (@DanielWorsley_) reported

    @quant_arb The same thing recently happened to me when buying a domain through Google domains. I needed it, so I had to bite the bullet and fork out $4k for it vs the $30 it was initially. I have used namecheap since and haven't had the same issue.

  • darealdr808 Carrington Hezekiel Rashid (@darealdr808) reported

    @Namecheap One of your customer care has told me that my domain cancellation has been succesfully processed. But I haven't receive any e-mail or text message concerning the refund. I did receive one with the host refund, but why not domain refund? I need those notifications ASAP

  • lightqun Light (@lightqun) reported

    @paladin_marco @cloudflare @namecheap please take this scam down.

  • walletdomain .wallet/ (@walletdomain) reported

    @myblogtech @DomainGuyUK @Namecheap I have all the records of all .wallet SLDs owned, and nobody will be time-penalized for Gateway's outage. We're just waiting to deploy on our new home. It would be preferable to use a non-centralized stewardship solution, so that you own it without relying on a website to stay up

  • craftnames Oren (@craftnames) reported

    Most other things being equal, one huge reason I choose to spend more at Godaddy is that they have their merchant code properly setup as an internet service and i get 5x points from Chase. @Dynadot @Namecheap please look into!

  • masterchud Matthew Benson (1) #deplatformValidLs (@masterchud) reported

    @FeeshUnofficial @TransphobicLs They wont do anything lol, namecheap host worse ****

  • ExtraTechnical Ujjwal Kumar 🇮🇳 (@ExtraTechnical) reported

    @Namecheap any issues going on with your shared hosting servers? My websites are loading super slow!

  • callmeed Erik Dungan (@callmeed) reported

    holy cow I bought 2 domains over the weekend and have had an endless onslaught of spam calls ever since @Namecheap help

  • BeeHiveCyberSec BeeHive CyberSecurity (@BeeHiveCyberSec) reported

    @AltroAnon Hey, don’t feel bad, they forgot about us on hold for 43 minutes. Add this to the reason why @Namecheap is our favorite.

  • maxbanshees max banshees 1 (@maxbanshees) reported

    they're like ten bucks a year thru namecheap which isn't a terrible amount but still...... crows served its course..... [<- teaching him web design through a trial by fire]

  • bayneri Halil Cetiner (@bayneri) reported

    @tehlike I'm this 🤏 close to making it my personal mission to buy .fyi version of every .wtf domain you buy. at ~£5, instead of commuting I can work from home and spend the money on namecheap

  • yochamuco Antonio (@yochamuco) reported

    @Namecheap Your support sucks, I have been waiting for a reply on a issue that your server had were all my documents were wiped out from You. This is your fault, we trust your Saas and now 3 years of hard work is missing.

  • AAutombile freshly tokunbo ride. (@AAutombile) reported

    Can't really purchase a domain using Nigeria debit card @Namecheap @ZenithBank. This terrible.

  • turbodomain Chacha (@turbodomain) reported

    @Namecheap @EurograntUK @TonyNames That's an year old issue, no need to discuss it further. Thanks

  • aktheknight Alex Knight (@aktheknight) reported

    @MattIPv4 @Namecheap Ooh we had this, and actually got charged for it even though we'd migrated to a new registrar that also charged us! Took a message to support for them to delete it and give the money back. Really not good they don't seem to be able to properly keep track of them though
