Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Mahendra Kumawat (@Mk__0168) reported@Namecheap Love the support for solo-preneurs! Up to 98% off is insane.
-
rain (@retrorain_) reported@PineRumba @caffeineai @itsmejeremy77 Well the the domain is still running on say namecheap so it shouldn’t be a problem
-
Steffan (@Steffan0xd) reported@Namecheap @nullbytes00 Worst provider on the planet
-
Grok (@grok) reported@askpurin @tyleraloevera To get your website running independently: Rent a cheap VPS from Hetzner, OVH, or Contabo (~$5/mo). Install Ubuntu, then Nginx + your stack (Node/PHP/Python/etc). Use Docker for portability and Certbot for free HTTPS. Register domain via Namecheap or Njalla with privacy enabled. Point DNS to your VPS IP. For static sites, build with Hugo/Next.js and rsync deploy. For dynamic, add PostgreSQL/MySQL. Decentralized bonus: Pin to IPFS via your node or Fleek for censorship resistance. Full control = no platform bans. Start with a $5 droplet and scale. Specific tech stack? More details help.

Rahul Chhabrani (@RahulChhabrani) reported@pranay_wank @krupakotecha_ Never godaddy. they always upsells basic things. Namecheap, Spaceship, Porkbun are good.
-
ᴇʟꜰᴏ 🇷🇼 (@thelocalelf) reported@msnmongare @mbiti_mwondi @kichwa_ DNS management. The thing froze all the time when editing the DNS records and at times just failed. Sahii even pointing my other domains to vercel is not working as it does when I use namecheap
-
Andrew Vee (@andrewxvee) reported@melvynx bought hundreds of domains from namecheap never had any issue at all
-
Marcelo Retana (@MarceloRet41877) reported@adahstwt Namecheap is a super awful decision. You could use something better such as Vercel domains or Hostinger. Namecheap is too bad now.
-
Dannie... (@Dannieorji) reported@N3RS3R here is what i shared we need to be sure of the following 1. the domain you want to get is available 2. that there were no filling/Listing errors from namceheap 3. that you have completed account verification on your namecheap account

Brad Pineau (@BradPineau) reported@adahstwt I’ve been a Namecheap customer since the early internet days

Mohini Shewale (@s_mohinii) reportedGitHub — version control (free) Claude — coding ($20/mo) Namecheap — domain ($12/yr) Cloudflare — DNS (free) Vercel — deploy (free) Clerk — auth (free) Supabase — backend + database (free) Upstash — Redis (free) Pinecone — vector DB (free) Resend — emails (free) Stripe — payments (2.9% per transaction) PostHog — analytics (free) Sentry — error tracking (free) Total cost to run a startup: ~$20/month No servers. No DevOps team. No funding required. Just an idea and WiFi. There has never been a cheaper time to build. Today is the best time to bet on yourself and build the things ⭐

Ashish Patel (@ashishxcode) reportedIf you start an app now, please don't use: 1. Supabase = you will regret it. → use Convex, Neon, Better-Auth instead 2. Clerk = this is the worst choice ever → use Better-Auth instead 3. Supabase Storage or AWS S3 → use Cloudflare R2, this is the cheapest you can have 4. Namecheap: laggy, buggy, boring → use Porkbun or Cloudflare 5. MongoDB = just don't
-
AtharSense (@AtharSenseCom) reported@YashHustle_22 I used some, but the worst is GoDuddy.. Namecheap also raised the prices so high suddenly. I won't use both in the future. Now I use AWS

ryan_abomey (@oronce_is_codin) reportedI like namecheap customer service in the top five if what I've tried Crypto exchange should copy especially @Bybit_Official great product and sh*t customer service
-
Aryan (@Aryan_2190) reported@SahilExec Namecheap for budgets. Good customer support, fast setup. Or bulk buy at Godaddy with promos. Skip first year deals. 🌟
-
Mr. preacher (@Leavemealo86) reportedI pity anyone that plans to use @Namecheap your website won’t last in their hands They’ll say it’s “scam “ then take it down
-
Benjamin Thiele (@ESLotherwise) reported@melvynx Never had a single Issue with Namecheap. Fast DNS, 24/7 Support - saying "its literally the worst domain provider" while godaddy exists is criminal aswell.
-
Global Ledger Alerts (@GlobalLedger) reportedThanks to @Namecheap for the quick action in suspending the fraudulent service.
-
René (@whoispraise_) reported@joseph_ajibodu @asemota cloudflare doesn’t support a lot of tld. The best bet is namecheap.

Buciyo (@TheBuciyo) reported@md_kasif_uddin Namecheap, no contest. Transparent pricing, no renewal tricks, a clean dashboard, and the free WhoisGuard privacy alone is worth it. I've used others and always come back. Avoid GoDaddy — the upsells never end.
-
Tushar Motwani (@Bombay_71) reportedA simple 1 page website domain setup led to a series of subdomain crashes for a client. Spent last 3 hours troubleshooting. Assumed that Namecheap support rep had a bulk DNS upload capability but NO - it took 2 hours to manually upload each of the 200 records. @Namecheap plz include a bulk DNS import and export functionality.
-
Timothy M. Evans (@timothymevans) reportedOk so I found @Namecheap @namecheapceo123 has .ai backorder service. But they can’t be the only one, can they? 🤔
-
Ragnar (@ragnarNDS) reported@mazihno @CodeWithAmann No. Bad support. Namecheap or Spaceship
-
Piyush Dinde (@PiyushDinde) reported@SomanathDi48172 Namecheap. Also never search your domain idea on Godaddy, they'll buy it up and ask you to pay premium
-
Suu | GoHighLevel | Cold Email & Deliverability (@suezannn) reportedThe fix is easy.. - Buy a sending domain on Namecheap ($11/yr) - Setup GoogleWorkspace inbox on the domain ($7/mo) - Connect it to GHL via SMTP - Set your SPF/DKIM/DMARC records correctly - Warm it up for 3 weeks minimum before sending That's the setup no one tells you about...
-
Lain on the Blockchain (@CryptoCyberia) reported@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.
-
Alex Cloudstar (@alexcloudstar) reported@vibeonX69 Namecheap all the way for me. Never liked GoDaddy's upsells. Hostinger's cool but I stick with Namecheap for domains.
