Namecheap Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • cryptogratees CryptograTees™ (@cryptogratees) reported

    @jgarzik @Namecheap @EasyWP It's a fantastic platform. The only downfall is terrible performance for ecom. If you get hit w traffic spikes it's no bueno, and general UX is slow. Makes Shopify vs WooCom decision for BTC merch irritating.

  • Zynnwood Wood (@Zynnwood) reported

    @pepesgrandma @Namecheap @GoDaddy This is exactly how it should work. If Godaddy wants to be woke they can turn to ****. If you have a website move to a new domain hosting service.

  • KesterRatcliff Kester Ratcliff (@KesterRatcliff) reported

    @Vortex_Egg Please help me! I got stuck and procrastinated for two years just because I couldn't figure out by myself how to install the mediawiki template on my Namecheap domains. I had two domains one for the English version one for the Arabic translation of a report I did in 2018

  • TarantulaYoung Arvin Foroutan (@TarantulaYoung) reported

    @Laurie_Garrett GoDaddy is actually one of the worst companies. Do not be fooled Laurie. Namecheap is the better solution. Don't be fooled for one second by them.

  • Bolarge717 AKINOLA MOBOLAJI (@Bolarge717) reported

    @Namecheap Nothing from them since about 10 hours ago. I really need to access my account because my website is down and that’s how I make my livelihood here

  • ThrowAw70207174 Joseph C (@ThrowAw70207174) reported

    @Namecheap Hello, the scammers have taken down the abusive content, I will create a ticket if the content comes back up

  • 0xKirb AJ (@0xKirb) reported

    @Namecheap - someone has broken into your privateemail servers, again. Last time I figured it was somehow my bad (admittedly) password for SMTP, but today I see it's happening again, even with a 84+ char random password. Not only that, but it's not coming from the web panel

  • LilyMeade Lily ♥️ shop LaurieMakes! (@LilyMeade) reported

    @KailiaSage You don’t have to switch if it’s working for you! But if you do feel like you’d like something different, let me know. I’d be happy to help you even if you don’t want namecheap (I’m not an affiliate with them or anything).

  • fencerjoe Obvious Pseudonym (@fencerjoe) reported

    Hey @Namecheap when are you going to add proper support for LetsEncrypt certs? It's a pain to have to manually update them through WordPress

  • m1ru1 @m1ru1 (@m1ru1) reported

    @vysecurity @Namecheap SOC’s response task of taking down phish site is also part of RT assessment?

  • malwrandpickles MalwareAndPickles (@malwrandpickles) reported

    @vysecurity @Namecheap From my observations they have started taking down phishing sites when discovered. Even done a few for me when I reported via twitter, with screenshot and link. Which to me is a great effort from previously.

  • Ufo8033 Ufo (@Ufo8033) reported

    @Namecheap Site selling dumps: searchmoney[.]online/login.html ******(idk if this is allowed) site: londonescortsservice[.]com roqqu phishing: roqqucustomer[.]support

  • bunnymaid bunny (@bunnymaid) reported

    Ever felt the need to just buy a German Driving License? httQs://fuhrerscheindienstleistungen24hrs.com/ None of that tedious learning to drive crap, just pay your money and you can drive! Mentioning no names: @Namecheap

  • malwrandpickles MalwareAndPickles (@malwrandpickles) reported

    @vysecurity @Namecheap We treat all attackers as genuine until proven otherwise. Which means if it is a clone of a company website serving malicious docs for example, any and all available means of taking that down will be used including DMCA takedown. Sometimes this will burn a legitimate op.

  • SolSquiggle SolSquiggle (@SolSquiggle) reported

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO Filed a report. Problem is, this will go fast unless domain will be prevented from redirecting. Hope you are there to help prevent theft.

  • mike_gilbert Mike Gilbert 🇺🇸 (@mike_gilbert) reported

    @mmpadellan FUN FACT: You can switch all your domain names from @GoDaddy to @Namecheap and save a considerable amount of money. You’ll also get better service and not be censored or subject to cancellation. I did it a year ago with one call.

  • lawjolla Dennis Walsh (@lawjolla) reported

    @spences10 I used namecheap but moved off… get this story. I archived my eBay auctions. eBay found the html and sent a take down notice to namecheap. Rather than contacting me to ask what was going on, they suspended my domain.

  • therealjcali J.Cali (@therealjcali) reported

    @SayonaraMarina1 @catturd2 And you can transfer any domain name to any other registrar like let’s say.. namecheap. They don’t own ****.

  • MinniexScarlet FuckYeahMinnieScarlet (@MinniexScarlet) reported

    @melatoninthroat namecheap and it comes with an identity protector service for free

  • pepesgrandma Bad Kitty For Congress 😼🌹 (@pepesgrandma) reported

    @scott_smallbiz @GoDaddy Namecheap support is off the walls.

  • KumarIngale Vijaykumar (@KumarIngale) reported

    @Namecheap fraud service provider, pls dont buy anything from here friends.

  • csaba_kissi Csaba Kissi ⚡ (@csaba_kissi) reported

    @RohitGulam Using Namecheap for maybe 15 years already and they never disappointed me

  • kimbachu —★kimba (@kimbachu) reported

    @licieux I’ve always bought my domains from Namecheap and never had a problem. I haven’t used their hosting services so I can’t vouch for that, though.

  • 0xKirb AJ (@0xKirb) reported

    @Namecheap Unfortunately no. I will not be wasting my time with support again. I'll be switching to @ProtonMail, who I know is reliable, and trustworthy.

  • lls518 lynette lee (@lls518) reported

    @Namecheap No Assistance At All , Replies from Chat Live !!! Such A Disappointment!!! 🤬😡🤬😡🤬. Customer service SUCKS

  • vysecurity Vincent Yiu 🐤 (@vysecurity) reported

    What’s up with @Namecheap shutting down domains under legal and abuse? But there’s not even an explanation as to what the accusations are?

  • licieux 🍀 Ren (@licieux) reported

    Question for my domain buddies, is namecheap better than godaddy? I've heard a lot of awful things about the latter.

  • StopMalvertisin Kimberly (@StopMalvertisin) reported

    @Namecheap Hi, the issue is in the screenshot, Fake antivirus scam. There's nothing more to it. I thought you did act on Twitter now? cc @malwrhunterteam @APT_Namecheap
