Namecheap Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • back_air back air (@back_air) reported

    @Namecheap It can’t speed up your intervener connection it can only slow it down (except if you have some bs protocol that’s really good at compressing data while still being fast but it’s not the case)

  • jason_coleman Jason Coleman 🤔💡💻💾 (@jason_coleman) reported

    @mihai_iova @PoeHaH I heard that there might be a 24-48 hour delay after pushing out the bundle-less cert. We stopped hearing issues within 24 hours of pushing out the Namecheap cert.

  • djwfyi Daryl White (@djwfyi) reported

    @Namecheap @gitlab Finally got it working. Problem was the HOST value for the TXT records. GitLab has "_gitlab-pages-verification-code.www.djw.fyi" as the HOST value. Namecheap adds the root domain to the host automatically, so it needs to be "_gitlab-pages-verification-code.www" instead

  • Namecheap Namecheap.com (@Namecheap) reported

    @ecarlesi We would like to inform you that Namecheap is currently providing only registration services for the domain name in question. It means that we cannot take down the content hosted by a third party as we do not have access to servers where the content is actually located.

  • back_air back air (@back_air) reported

    @Maccavelli12 @Namecheap I have no idea what you’re talking about. How can an isp ip ban you ? What do they ban ? If they want to ban you can’t they just cancel your subscription ?

  • learnwithvidya Vidya ✨ (@learnwithvidya) reported

    I faced this issue with my Namecheap account. Cannot imagine actual businesses facing these issues..

  • Uprise_Greg Greg Brailsford (@Uprise_Greg) reported

    Are month+ waits in responding to customer emails a thing now? I emailed @Fidelity on 10/8 about an urgent matter. Got a reply today, 28 days later. I emailed @namecheap about an urgent matter on 9/2. Got a response last week, 58 days later. This is not how you do business.

  • cassieswriting Cassie Silva (@cassieswriting) reported

    Tech noob researching author website options! Godaddy vs. Namecheap to register a domain? Heard good/bad things about both... #amwriting #amquerying #WritingCommunity Any tips?

  • Psycho_priya Priya Shah (@Psycho_priya) reported

    @Namecheap resolve my issue please

  • Maccavelli12 MACCA 💙💛🧬🧬🌸 (@Maccavelli12) reported

    @back_air @Namecheap You shouldn't get ip ban if you with the right isp as the 1s that are up and comming looking for customers dont seem to ban if compared to a well known isp that doesn't need your money. If i got a ban id cancel and switch

  • alexs77 Alexander (@alexs77) reported

    @Namecheap Depends - it may guard the privacy against the site you visit. But for that, the VPN provider has to be trusted, which is quite often a problem.

  • rsmck Ross McKillop  (@rsmck) reported

    @notatweenie @Namecheap Yes, they're one of the fastest to act to take-down requests now, and they will act on reports by any means (eMail, Twitter etc) - they've gone from taking an argumentative, obstructive, approach to a proactive one where they seem to care about consumers. Admirable.

  • jason_coleman Jason Coleman 🤔💡💻💾 (@jason_coleman) reported

    @mihai_iova @PoeHaH I'd rather run Let's Encrypt because manually updating certs is a pain in the ***. We're basically kicking this can down the road 6 months with the Namecheap cert.

  • II_ARROWS II ARROWS (@II_ARROWS) reported

    @MohammadZadissa @Namecheap Have do you check what was the problem on your side?

  • MaidEnjoyer David (@MaidEnjoyer) reported

    @Namecheap How would a customer verify that a VPN provider is truly not keeping logs?

  • PakToh PakToh (@PakToh) reported

    @RoedCrimson @Namecheap why should i, we are discussing a topic of vpn and if it can enhance security... and the anwer in generak is yes, but also "it depends"... on the provider and the iverall security strategy you are using, so... i am open for discussion, but vpn reduces the risk of network ligging

  • rolrolbeebee Gretabee (@rolrolbeebee) reported

    @Namecheap Hi, I recently paid for my domain for the next year. There was a mistake on your end, I was charged for two years but didn't have enough $$$ in my account. I just heard from support, and they are disabling my domain. Not cool. I did not consent to paying for two years

  • II_ARROWS II ARROWS (@II_ARROWS) reported

    @Namecheap If a VPN don't log anything, it can't offer technical support.

  • 3Plantey2 Plantey (@3Plantey2) reported

    @alnarraTweets @Namecheap @netflix Even then your ISP can figure **** out, you just got yourself double the fail points.

  • m_abs Morten Sjøgren (@m_abs) reported

    @Namecheap Irrelevant question, as using a VPN doesn't solve the problem it just moves it. You still have privacy concerns now with the VPN provider instead of your ISP.

  • adamokane Adam O'Kane 💭 (@adamokane) reported

    @namecheap support is legitimately the best customer service team I encounter...every time. so great

  • MohammadZadissa Mo zadissa (@MohammadZadissa) reported

    @II_ARROWS @Namecheap This is why technical support do ask customers to provide the logs from their client application as they do not have it.

  • rolrolbeebee Gretabee (@rolrolbeebee) reported

    @Namecheap thank you for being responsive! Please discontinue this policy of charging customers for company errors, to avoid future headaches for other customers.

  • laneystroup Laney Stroup (@laneystroup) reported

    @Namecheap @NamePros Hey @Namecheap, I have been a loyal fan for 7 years. However, 2FA was recently enabled on my account with an old phone number and email address. Now I can't login, I can't talk to support, and I haven't heard back from Risk Management in 6 months. Ticket ID: BDJ-913-81113. Help?

  • 0xPaid I paid for a jpeg. (@0xPaid) reported

    YOOOO U WOULDN'T GUESS WHAT DOMAIN I JUST GOT, **** YEAH. WASTING MONEY WITH @Namecheap ALL DAY

  • trisharayb Trisha RayB (@trisharayb) reported

    The awfully unhelpful and arrogant customer service of @GoDaddy ... in stark contrast with @Namecheap - #GoDaddy techs need behavior training.

  • DilbagBagha Dilbag Singh (@DilbagBagha) reported

    @Namecheap again your server down

  • NDragon1412 NDragon1412 (@NDragon1412) reported

    @Namecheap After some company claimed that our ip adress illegally streamed 1 second of two of their copyrighted movies, and despite a lawyer we had no way to escape the ridiculous payment, (might've been a bad lawyer, idk), I did get a VPN.

  • Garodus_ Brent (@Garodus_) reported

    @Namecheap The price itself does not impact quality, however, paid subscriptions do give more options for the company in terms of monetization. This is what could help a company avoid more predetory bisnis practices, like sharing user information.

  • toprankseo Top Rank Marketing (@toprankseo) reported

    @Namecheap Thanks for making me feel like a crook. I have to verify all info again and still have to wait days to get an answer. Never had issue with GoDaddy or register. I have hundreds of domains on my account and have been locked out for over a week.
