Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported5/7 - Bitcoin users already trusted Namecheap. In December 2011 it turned GoDaddy's SOPA support into "Move Your Domain Day," welcoming thousands of transferred domains and donating over $100,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Its base was the crowd asking for Bitcoin.

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
-
Snigdha Sur (@snigdhasur) reported@vivekteega @prbhtkumr @Namecheap Just so folks know their rights, a domain provider can’t shut down your domain globally without a proper court order, especially if you’re running a legitimate business. That’s why we won our TRO (temporary restraining order) to get it back

Mila Chervenkova 🍩 (@MilaChervenkova) reported@_maxantonov @GoDaddy @Cloudflare I use NameCheap and I am super happy with their support.

Joseph Miclaus (@josephmiclaus) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap Didn't know this. Maybe they can do it manually through support?

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.

Lg Shurley (@SurelyLg) reported@Namecheap #namecheap lost a thousands of dollars today due to bad business. They refused to refund a purchase they made a mistake on. This violates a sacred covenant between business & customer. They are unethical and have forgotten what it means to appreciate a customer.#ethics

Hazard🚀 (@hazardayo_) reported@Namecheap Hello Namecheap Support, I am writing to follow up on my suspended account. I have already submitted the requested information and documentation. Could you please provide an update on the review status? I urgently need my account access restored so I can continue my work and meet an approaching deadline. Thank you for your prompt assistance.

Fernando (@unfernaonx) reported@larsbuilds What’s that service? Looks good. I use namecheap and sometimes it feels like 2014 cPanel
-
A.Drew (@tataseboydej) reported@TheRuqayyah Log into your domain provider dashboard eg namecheap, godaddy. Then fix the dns records.
-
Aarón (@AaronCornellius) reported@mddanishyusuf @Cloudflare @Namecheap I use namecheap and have had some issues. Probably going to do this too and move to Cloudflare
-
Mathias Onea (@mathiasonea) reported@13_narcissus tbh they're all over the place currently. Some are at Hostinger, some at namecheap, some at other German legacy service providers... need to consolidate but low prio

Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported3/7 - The bold part was zero-confirmation delivery. A Bitcoin payment isn't settled until miners include it in a block, roughly 10 minutes at best. Most merchants waited for one to six confirmations. Namecheap activated your purchase the moment the transaction hit the network.
-
Arvid Kahl (@arvidkahl) reported@Namecheap Cloudflare also doesn't support .de TLDs. The only one that seems to do it out of the box is GoDaddy. Yikes.

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

Brian Lee Mayes ✞ ❞𝓢𝓲𝔁❞ 𝓢𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓛𝓮𝓮 (@BrianLeeMayes) reported@Namecheap It appears "temporarily" fixed, know this...the biggest reason I will likely be leaving, isn't so much the repeated issues, but the outsourced tech support, of people that know absolutely nothing! It's pathetic, and IDK why my former webmaster chose Namecheap.

Polyvalent kaizen 🀄️ (@0xKachi) reportedIs namecheap hosting down? My websites won’t load
-
Rajiya Sultana (@HeyRajiya) reported@ZimalDesigner_ godaddy and namecheap mostly, never had issues with either 👍
-
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.
-
Pitch Market Strategies & Public Relations, LLC (@team_pitch) reported@digitalocean y’all left my company in a lurch, and now I’m looking to shift. Overpriced droplets in my opinion, horrible support, unless you’re paying $999 a month, in my opinion and a lack of uptime stability on smaller tiers in my opinion. @Namecheap VPS is lookin good.
