Shant (@ShantDotMe) reportedNC: 19:05:35 Hey Namecheap odd IP address access 20:06:15 IP address provided earlier does not belong to our service 20:27:17 Yes, the IP address does not belong to our company.

Ramil Mastiyev (@rmastiyev) reported@Namecheap Almost a day 'fighting' with your tech team about port 80 blocked (VPS). Proof: fresh installs, external tests, logs — packets time out externally on :80 while :8080 works! Your team just points back at me. Can someone from your network/infra team really look at this?
-
Georgii Tselkovskii (@Existentios) reportedIt has never been cheaper to build a startup. Claude for coding — $20/mo Supabase for backend — free Vercel for deploys — free Namecheap for domain — $20/yr Stripe for payments — % only GitHub for version control — free Resend for emails — free Clerk for auth — free Cloudflare for DNS — free PostHog for analytics — free Sentry for error tracking — free Upstash for Redis — free Pinecone for vector DB — free You can literally launch with ~$20/month. The hard part is no longer building. The hard part is getting people to care.

AI Tools Recap (@AiToolsRecap) reported@nalinrajput23 NAMECHEAP only. Godaddy has worst support system they ask you things like interns running support system.
-
Paul Sant · Telecodex (@YouPulseX) reported@rmastiyev @Namecheap 8080 works, 80 times out, fresh installs logged - "back to the same ticket" is not a network review.

Imagine-This (@ImagineThisSM) reported@astralbodies @Namecheap yeah, true, how long has yours been out, i run 10 shops on their hosting and all of them are down
-
Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reported@Namecheap upon checking my hosting list there was nothing, talking to support they say that i have been refunded stellar, but there is no confirmation email of that. hmm, on the domain they said it was put on auction and i cant access it or recover it
-
Insignificant Developer (@insigdev) reported@tomilola_ng Namecheap sucks though 😭 Namecheap VPS is just Hostinger in a different coat. Low initial cost, ridiculous renewal prices as well, and a predatory domain expiration pipeline that funnels your forgotten domains straight to their marketplace auctions.
-
Tommy Thomas (@0xTommyThomas) reported@adahstwt I’ve been using Namecheap for a while now, generally good integrations with other apps which make it easy to use. Pork bun is pretty decent too Will never understand why godaddy is called godaddy lol Squarespace in my experience is the most annoying to deal with for domain management tbh
-
DeepCantCode (@DeepCantCode) reportedGuys, I genuinely need help 😭 I need to buy a domain. Is Namecheap really worth it? The renewal prices are kinda high… and Porkbun feels the same. Any better domain registrar with low renewal prices and overall cheaper costs? I'm broke 💀
-
Mike (@ibuildcoolshit) reported@kapilansh_twt Namecheap customer for 20+ years just left them for cloudflare
-
GermainOfficial.tez #Lè Renaissance man (@GermainOfficial) reported@Namecheap @PIRegistry Can you guys PLEASE fix your SSL certificate issuing process? Better still explain why it's longer than a root canal.
-
Clément Sauvage (@clementsauvage) reported.@Namecheap locks your account Support : You have to check the email we sent Me : No email, dumbass Support : Ok write to security, they'll reply in 2 hours Me : OK, doing it ... 5 hours later... nothing Current status: no access to my domain, can't swap my DNS. I rly think they don't give a **** about their customers... a huge and deep f*ck you. Have you seen a worst company ? Tell me more... @NamecheapCEO
-
Sarthak Shaurya (@alwaysSarthak) reported@nalinrajput23 I have tried namecheap and GoDaddy both but I never understood what is the difference between buying it from each
-
Michael Knight (@michaelmknight) reported@cPanel Hi, I upgraded from ImunifyAV+ to Imunify360. I’m now being asked for a license key. I wasn’t provided one and I can’t find a key anywhere in your Client Area and under Orders/Licenses. Your support states to contact Namecheap and is sending me around in circles, but it's nothing to do with them as I purchased the upgrade from you and I can't send a support ticket. Any help would be appreciated.

Russ 🇺🇸 🦅 (@SoCalRuss1983) reported@sarahskye @RWMaloneMD NameCheap Inc. Is the company name. Look above for domain name. Also its not related to X Corp, making it an issue.
-
J.G.Montoya.Hodl (@JGMontoyaS) reported@namecheap please enable Lightning Network on your BTCPay server checkout.
-
ChiseledCactus | Analyst (@chiseledcactus) reported@deanelazab @YayJayBae Hello! If it helps, it looks like it's running via cloudflare servers, and registered via "Namecheap". It still lists "Mediadroid LTD UK", with a "Jonathan hassall, but was dissolved a while back, so this is all sorts of shady. I imagine twitch and YouTube wouldn't be too happy with them continuously scraping content and causing issues, yeah? But is that even an option to try and rally to them?
-
The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@RealTripleA I know exactly what happened. I cc'd the "host" and they took it down to prevent Namecheap from seeing it. Won't give them the heads up next time.
-
Baber Rizvi (@BaberRizvi) reported@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.
-
Eric (@realfunnyeric) reported@Dynadot @Namecheap Eh. Gotta be a better way. Everyone trying to hang on to their customers. Taking them hostage. Maybe I’ll build a tool that does it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
Jeff Black (@jblacktkeus) reported@iHeartMalware @Namecheap Can you help me? I’m out 35k to these *******
-
Matthias Reinholz (@MattReinholz) reportedInteresting side-fact: they say the issue was about DNSSEC. However, in contrast to .com, @Namecheap doesn't let me configure DNSSEC for .de domains (not because of the current issue but generally). @grok does DENIC use a different layer/method of DNSSEC that doesn't allow configuring it on the registry level?

𝕂𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕤𝕒𝕣𝕘𝕖⚓☔👾🇺🇸 (@USS_Kearsarge_) reported@idxyllune To be honest I had no issues with namecheap so far, other than this one, but they did say there was a planned maintenance so...
-
Imagine-This (@ImagineThisSM) reported@Namecheap hi, all my sites and applications are down, whats going on. please update us right away
-
Baber Rizvi (@BaberRizvi) reported@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
-
puskevit (@0xpusk) reported@ImLunaHey well namecheap didn't snitch my domain but after i didn't renew it for a single day they immediately put it down and tried to resell it for 4 figures and they'd probably also snitch a domain aswell if they're doing that
-
Saud Ilyas (@saud_ilyas) reportedFor the first time in 10 years, I moved the .io domain out of Namecheap to save $25 on renewal lol; never thought of moving any of the 2k+ domains I've managed with Namecheap for years. 3x the price is unjustifiable. Could potentially save up to $10k a year by moving every single one to Cloudflare on renewal. But that’s a very big headache doing one by one, so i’ll pass for now!

GhostyTongue ツ (@Gh0styTongue) reportedIf @Namecheap had a **** I would be sucking it rn because how good their service is.
