Old Charter (@OldCharterExp) reported@ZPEdisclosure My wife's site has been down for 3 days and she can't get into any of her other accounts because she set up 2FA through her email and website hosted with Namecheap! @Namecheap WTF???

Adithya 🚀 (@adithyashreshti) reportedWTF, @Namecheap. Need recommendations. For YEARS, I’ve recommended Namecheap over GoDaddy because the support was great and I trusted the experience. Now I’m finding that EVERY SINGLE domain I searched on Namecheap’s WHOIS less than 24 hours ago is suddenly “taken.” Not one. Every. Single. One. People on Reddit raised this exact issue months ago. I defended Namecheap because I’d never experienced it myself and even mentioned it is trust worthy. Well, I faced it now. I searched each domain ONCE. Just once. I wasn’t repeatedly checking them or trying to register them. And now they’re all “taken.” Maybe it’s a coincidence. But it’s a pretty damn weird one because every domain I that I had checked for availability is gone at easily 10x the price. I’m seriously considering moving everything out of Namecheap. Who are you guys using instead? Already using Cloudflare for .com, but I still have a lot of domains at NC.

Michael Yousrie (@michael_yousrie) reported2 days ago, @Namecheap was down. Today, @github is down. what's going on guys? are the AI models finally breaking free?
-
Jai (@jai_ozzie) reported3/3 Unfortunately, Namecheap’s response has been to minimise the impact, hide behind what its systems recorded, and offer a token $10 credit. @NamecheapCEO — is this genuinely the level of accountability you believe Namecheap should demonstrate after a major outage?

Build A Goat (@buildAgoat) reported@Namecheap @NamecheapCEO after the Private Email / Jellyfish backend upgrade, my outbound mail is landing in Gmail spam even though SPF, DKIM, and DMARC all pass. Looks like shared outbound reputation on the new path. Can someone from PE support look into deliverability? Happy to DM details.

365krypto.x (@365krypto) reported@agent144x Daaaaannng I'm late to the party. I should of known when they did a survey, it was real godaddy focused. I've been 365krypto.x for so long do I hang it up? The quiet transition, on how they did it, hurts the most to us day 1s. Now they are web2, I use namecheap

VictualBro (@Victual_Bro) reportedAppears that @ProtonMail is down for the same exact reason that Namecheap was down last week. Curious. Cyber attack?

Tobi (@To_bi_Bakare) reportedOption 3: Namecheap Namecheap accepts PayPal as well as cards if you already have or can set up a PayPal account funded another way, that sidesteps the naira-card issue too.

Generalissimo P4X (@P4X_real) reported@UK_Daniel_Card See they had disaster recovery and their compliance standards said it had to be at a separate site. So they likely figured well, upstairs on the second floor is *basically* another site, I mean it’s a different location altogether, one has one set of coordinates and the other another. Besides their data centers are SOCII compliant meaning they have *environmental and power redundancy* because they care. Mostly they care about looking like they care though. Auditors came by, but they mostly had beers and didn’t give a ****, see they’re incentivized to not give a **** because a clean audit means they’ll be hired again. they’re totally independent, but the beers were good and their business depends on the one massive client. They of course made note of the DR situation, but namecheap accepted the risk by signing a paper and pinky swearing it would totally be fixed soonish at some point probably. This is my literal experience with compliance audits. They’re a joke. The bit about namecheap only using SOCII compliant data centers is real btw. So what happened? An abundant lack of competence.

mmdhsrc (@mmdhsrc) reported@Namecheap Namecheap is a truly terrible company. They charged me for the PrivateSSL service which is part of a hosting plan I was planning to cancel before the billing date. When I asked for a refund, they said the charge was non-refundable. It’s a rip-off.

King Damian ♤ (@damian_codes) reportedAt this point, I think Namecheap is rage baiting me o. Wtf 🥴 I’ve searched for over 50 names with dot com, and I keep getting “taken”, “registered since **** “ And when I visit those url, it’s 404. No website for them but it’s taken. How 😭 Is it coincidence that people have thought of these names too or something is broken somewhere?
