@Namecheap So you’re experts at shutting down hosting without any reason, right? And the fact that my anti-phishing service has been down for an entire day — that’s okay? And you still can’t provide the files for three hours now. HELLO, NAMECHEAP, wake up.

@snigdhasur @Namecheap sorry to hear that. awful dealing with domain stuff. worst is godaddy. the world needs decentralized and reliable registrar, DNS, and hosting.

@Namecheap I have an account created using a university email, which I don't have access to now after my graduation. How do I recover it? I know my username and password, but a verification email is being sent when I try to login.

@snigdhasur @pkj__m @Namecheap Why do you continue to lie? We were ordered to take down the domain. It's all in the court documents.

@Namecheap We are PhishDestroy — non-profit anti-phishing organization. We fight scammers daily, report abuse, maintain public blocklists. You terminated our server WITHOUT warning. No email, no ticket, nothing. I thought Namecheap was on the side of security researchers, not scammers. We trusted you for years. This is how you treat people fighting cybercrime? Every hour our infrastructure is down = hundreds of phishing sites keep running. Please restore access or provide our data backup so we can migrate. DM open.

After nearly 20 years since using NameCheap for domains and DNS.... I just transferred the last one out of my account. Mostly Cloudflare now but few others for reasons. They used to be THE best; hands down; but times change. Account: Since Mar 20, 2006 (19 years, 313 days ago)

@Namecheap Let's be honest, I've never seen worse hosting than yours. They can't give me my files for an hour—shutdowns without warning = WELCOME to NameCheap. I'm shocked by you and your service.

I don't dislike NameCheap; no shade... I had maaaaany many domains there for 2 decades and helped maaaany more get out of the dumpster fire that is godaddy (they're better now but back then... wow. so so so bad) and into NC ecosystem. Most of my primary domains I moved years ago but with so many it's a long process lol... as some of you know. GREENER pastures now with everything. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

@snigdhasur @Namecheap This is why godaddy wins. They provide fullstack customer support with insurance for site protection + domain security that should be non-negotiable for domain companies. I’d never suggest founders use a domain provider without such safeguards. Could be make or break for the company!

@snigdhasur @zoink @garrytan Thanks for the heads up. Their Reddit reputation is just as bad for alleged (likely true) front-running registrations. The most egregious part is that Namecheap throws the 'we can terminate services at any time' defense. 🙄 Moving my domains from Namecheap over to Cloudflare.

@Namecheap Do you support such websites? The content itself is an evidence

(@pranesh) reported
@snigdhasur @Namecheap This is a trademark dispute, and there's a court order from India that Namecheap was obligated to follow. You never even mention that. And the domain is registered in your personal name, not the company's. So how would they file a case against the company?

@snigdhasur Sorry about your situation. Hope you find a solution soon. You mention that Namecheap has discretion to shut down your site without cause, but do you know more or share more on why they shut it down or what precipitated it?

@tumblr - Hello Team, I own a domain with Namecheap and was looking to connect with my Tumblr blog. Have you removed "connect a domain" service without paying to Tumblr? It's showing me around $8 payment for a year to do that.

@asharoraa @snigdhasur @Namecheap it’s been a few years so this may be out of date but - overpriced domains, upcharge for basic things like an SSL cert - slow and buggy admin tooling - poor managed hosting performance - low quality live chat & phone support insurance is interesting though, hadn’t heard of that

DNS propagation for @spaceship is slow af. This is not the first time this has happened. I completed the DNS configuration for Spacemail on Namecheap, and it’s already been 3 days.

@Namecheap you guys shut down my account and requested the descriptor on my bank statement at 7:30 am. I emailed back at 11:30 am. It’s now 8:30 PM and still nothing. I can’t register my domain anywhere because I can’t access my account.

@sardamit @namecheapceo123 @Namecheap I wouldn’t trust ChatGPT for something so complicated. However we never lost the case in India. We were still disputing the initial order, which was due to the Indian party saying we were in Delhi when we were not

(@ShengSlogar) reported
@asharoraa @snigdhasur @Namecheap is there much more to domain security than transfer lock and privacy protection? I’ve never seen a registrar where that wasn’t offered. cloudflare registrar (my top pick, and even namecheap) give you that for free

Despite multiple messages to Namecheap support, the company was unresponsive. So I sued Namecheap to recover our domain. Now, I’ve learned from my lawyers that Namecheap is suing me personally.

Big thanks to @Namecheap for their quality service. Our service was down since Thursday. Today it took 5 hours just to get access to our own files. Support did nothing except endlessly switch between agents. Service is restored, but trust is not. Would not recommend hosting any critical infrastructure there.
