@Namecheap Again DNS uptime means nothing if the host is down. You make it sound like the website people go to will be up 100% of the time. Most people don't even know what DNS is and they just see uptime and buy. It's pretty ******.

@candieanderson @Namecheap Oh, the domain name they registered is a separate issue. If they domain name is confusingly similar to yours (and it also contains that copied content), there are separate ways to deal with the domain name.

@hopetomakeit @DotDwebo Trying to get it on each of them.. I would expect Namecheap and 101doms may be the first to support though, based on the extension quality as they are very active looking for super quality extensions as they seem abit flooded with random ones at present.. 1/2

@marriedtoseo @saintvienna I can't recommend Namecheap except for their low prices and impeccable customer support. I've had windows of error messages when trying to log into my wp dashboard. Many times.

Oh nice, my website is down because it seemed like "Premium DNS" would be a nice thing to add. Thanks a lot, namecheap, this was exactly what I didn't want to happen!

Hey @Namecheap, what if you let me configure DNS records before the transfer is complete, thereby eliminating an outage? How on earth is this not a thing already?

@unwoman @Namecheap What the hell even is "Premium DNS"? Are you going to look up the address faster now? Is it part of hosting? 100% DNS means they can translate the name to the IP address but if the host is down how is that going to help people see the website? I'm confused on what this even is.

@saintvienna I have used bluehost, OmO never again their customer support is terrible. Currently using namecheap for domain name, love their customer support. Love Dreamhost for their customer support, so fast and willing to help, hadn't have anything issues with them.

@Namecheap yes, it IS at another registrar. and yes i have DNS there. I'm currently transferring it to Namecheap, tho thinking that's a mistake rn, tbh. The problem is you won't let me create the DNS record on your system until it's transferred, at least not that i can find

@Namecheap Like, what on earth is the point of selling a service for a *currently running website* whose purpose is to keep it up, when to add it takes the site down for 48 hours????? I know this isn't your fault, social media person, but heck!!!

@KendallP97 @Namecheap @xpndadynamic I know it is, I also know that a completely overwhelmed support cripples the service with a flood of abuse emails. Following the motto, shoot first, ask questions later, as happened in this case, the website is now available again.

@dnprotect @Namecheap Thank you for your help. They bought the domain from Namecheap and the website is hosted on Cloud Flare. I contacted Google about having it removed since it's copyright infringement. I never received a confirmation from them, I'm hoping it went through.

@saintvienna Back when I was still using Wordpress, Namecheap was and still my go-to recommendation. They’re reliable, have superb customer support and also offer 100% uptime. Now note, there’s a huge difference in 100% and 99% uptime — and only Namecheap offers that.

@unwoman @Namecheap This is pretty bad. I have several donains through @namecheap but now I am going to make sure to never check that box. 48 hours of downtime is unacceptable.

@_jasonmountford @saintvienna @Namecheap Because alot of the time the customer support over email is lacking, the consistent malware attacks and the lack of awareness/support makes it impossible to consider then

@Namecheap Customer support is a lot worse than it used to be. Just used live chat twice and no one understood what I was talking about and kept going around in circles. I've also just received a support email that makes no sense.
