    @DoppelHQ @Namecheap So there you go. Months and month of grinding 16 hours a day trying to build something, gone in a second because of AI halucinated and another AI accepted because it's coming from a big company. I'd appreaciate any help, i don't know @cobie ? Anyone...

    I have several website issues today, since I switched to @Namecheap from @GoDaddy & GLAD I DID! Took less than 5 min to assess the issue with NC. GD would have me on hold for 1-4 hours, AND STILL NOT FIX ANYTHING! Bob Parsons would be ashamed! Global CPanel/WHM outage.

    @adahstwt Cloudflare for price and DNS. Porkbun for the experience. Namecheap for bulk. GoDaddy for โ€” actually, never GoDaddy.

    @BacLeodiv Everyone hates on Godaddy but I e been there 20 years and only had one major issue related to their migration in the early 2010s. Hundreds of domains and 40ish customers. No complaints. I also use the others. Namecheap is up and down on their support. Cloudflare I thought of as expensive. But honestly they all are now.

    @NamecheapCEO namecheap support on live chat keep asking for money just to reboot the server which is already down and they can't explain why it's down. We paid for reboot and server is still down now they are asking more money. This is insane. We are already paying for subscription and suffering business loss and they can't even tell us why our server is down for over 2 days now. Server down means all our websites are down and we can't run business. Need HELP

    So @Namecheap is no longer giving 3 free mailboxes. Damn, we need an alternative solution. You cannot be purchasing domains for 11 USD and pay 70 dollars for mail boxes, we are not in the 90s

    @noob_contrarian Hey, for your SBI virtual Visa card: It works on GPay/Stripe but fails on PayPal/Namecheap likely due to SBI's restrictions on debit/virtual cards for those platforms (common RBI/PayPal mismatch on OTP/3D Secure). Quick fixes: - Double-check intl transactions enabled in YONO app. - Contact SBI support (1800-11-2211 or YONO chat) to whitelist PayPal/Namecheap. - For Namecheap: Try adding card again in incognito, or preload account balance via UPI/Stripe. - PayPal: Most SBI debits don't workโ€”use a credit card or linked bank acct instead. If still stuck, reply with exact error msg.

    So found an email from namecheap from last week. Single email with a boring subject: "Reminder: Update your .IN contact details". But went through my invoices, and I've never bought whois guard for a .in domain. Namecheap doesn't let you afaik.

    @melvynx **** porkbun! They had my info tied to a domain I didnโ€™t own for decades and wouldnโ€™t update them. Impossible to reach anyone with half a brain Iโ€™ve bought 100s of domains with namecheap never an issue

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO It's been almost a week now since my business websites are down because my namecheap server is down and support team can't even turn on the server so my team can connect to bring my sites back up. Who will be responsible for my business losses. I hope someone from namecheap will show some courage and at least turn on the server which I am paying for. Also there is no phone number to call and speak to someone so only way to communicate is either email or chat. Such a horrible service they don't care what it means to a business which heavily rely on website and it's been down for this long.

    @CiCorpAfrica @CiCorpAfrica got it. Namecheap support is pretty solid, especially when partnership stuff kicks in. Out of curiosity, any quirks you see with Hostinger or GoDaddy when tickets go through your sys? Just want to know what to avoid next time.

    @CodeWithAmann NameCheap never buy a domain from Cloudflare you wonโ€™t be able to use another hosting provider like WordPress, Google Cloud, or AWS. Hostinger is usually just slow and buggy.

    @itsjustcornbro Attempted to continue the business alone despite me having my equity in Delaware, seizing a digital accounts for the company I secured with Yubikeys by fraudulently claiming to be me with NameCheap support, a couple felonies related to unauthorized access. Basically instead of us making millions (we were already partners with the biggest company in that industry and they said they'd acquire us if we hit certain KPIs) he took a knife out, stabbed me in the back, and slit his own throat and died.
