  @Namecheap Glad it's sorted ....imagine I spent 15 odd minutes figuring out what's wrong with my sites, never occurred to me it could be the host aswell - 😶

  The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported 7 minutes ago

  @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.

  @elgermerlo @GoDaddy @Cloudflare GoDaddy isn’t even a consideration for me.. it’s Cloudflare first place or namecheap for TLDs that Cloudflare doesn’t support yet

  WP Websites (@WebsitesWp) reported 16 minutes ago

  @TTrimoreau None. *Godaddy-pricy, had market place problems. *Hostinger+cloudflare-wouldnt use, not their niche *Namesilo-had major security incident, noone cared. *namecheap-not cheap, cluttered UI, intrusive upsells *spaceship-cheaper than internetbs, terrible UI

  @Namecheap Warning to all website owners and businesses: Based on our experience, we strongly advise exercising caution before dealing with this hosting provider. We encountered significant difficulties related to account management, communication, and obtaining support regarding our hosting services. Our experience raised serious concerns about the company's practice of relying on third-party agents to manage hosting accounts, which may leave customers vulnerable to disputes, service interruptions, delays in account transfers, or unexpected financial demands. We encourage all customers to carefully review ownership rights, account access credentials, service agreements, and transfer procedures before purchasing hosting services through any intermediary or agent. We have documented our experience and reserve the right to pursue the matter through the appropriate regulatory and legal channels.

  @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?

  4L.com (@4Ldotcom) reported 26 minutes ago

  Note: The domain was using Afternic nameservers and showed the Afternic landing page, so the lead did not come from the domain landing page. The sale was completed through Spaceship, which means the buyer likely came from the Spaceship or Namecheap network/marketplace.

  @Namecheap I just wanted to let you guys know that I’ve contacted my local law-enforcement to stop some websites that you’re hosting from scamming any further. I’ve asked repeatedly fake the domain down and you refuse now I’m pursuing legal action.😡😡😡😡

  Tomodachi Life Updates (@TomoLifeUpdates) reported 33 minutes ago

  @Namecheap We'd appreciate it if your abuse team could take a look at tomodachilife[.]gg and tomoez[.]com (X has flagged both domains in posts already). We've received multiple reports from users who believed these sites were associated with an official web version/port of Nintendo's Tomodachi Life. The sites appear to be hosting a CAPTCHA scam disguised as an in-game Tomodachi Life menu, using Nintendo's branding and trademark in a way that may mislead users. A separate domain hosting the same scam, tomodachilife[.]cc, has already been taken down following reports. Could someone from your team review these domains and their operators or direct us to the appropriate reporting channel?

  DeepCantCode (@DeepCantCode) reported 36 minutes ago

  Guys, 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 💀

• 
  Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reported 40 minutes ago

  This is the issue. i hope i don't sound entitled. On @Namecheap I had a domain that was expiring in a day, and stellar hosting had already expired. so i added domain renewal and hosting renewal yearly subscription, plus helping services to my cart and paid 45 USD thread..

  @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...

  @vivoplt Namecheap is good, but if you want best service after purchase, GoDaddy

  @Namecheap @TomoLifeUpdates you guys suck ***** for suspending neocities when they werent even mentioned in the court order. We are actively avoiding ur service & dissuading ppl from using it

  Matthias Reinholz (@MattReinholz) reported 46 minutes ago

  Interesting 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?

  Sharat MR (@cosmos_genius) reported 48 minutes ago

  @captn3m0 I got the same email from namecheap. .in domain never had allowed whois protection AFAIK but for some reason the domain contacts where all weird in namecheap. Had to manually correct it. Didn't know the domain would be suspended so soon. one week is too short a period for warning

  I don't know when the domain registrars will understand user experience is as important as your domain service. --- okish -------- - hostinger - godaddy ---- garbage ---------- - namecheap
