Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • adamokane Adam O'Kane 💭 (@adamokane) reported

    @alexadelman @namecheap if you guys link with @trylolli, I'll never a buy a domain anywhere else again!

  • MrD3vil0 Shah Fahad (@MrD3vil0) reported

    @Namecheap is fraud they blocked my account and now they are not fixing my problem

  • GoodPointDustin Dustin 💡 (@GoodPointDustin) reported

    NameCheap is showing up in my “Most Visited Sites.” Is that bad? 😬

  • edent Terence Eden (@edent) reported

    @Namecheap I keep reporting abuse. But this doesn't seem to help. By the time you respond - usually over 48 hours later - the scammers have already got away with their crimes. What are you doing to stop this abuse on your platform?

  • BradWestness Brad Westness (@BradWestness) reported

    @CarmenCrincoli Unifi has built in support for namecheap, which is where my domain is registered anyway. Works a treat

  • eric5310pub Eric (Publisher) 😷 (@eric5310pub) reported

    @AJSakla @VickyBall3 @SamyraTell Namecheap, GoDaddy... Hint: their homepage will never show you that deal! You have to google "$0.99 domain" to get godaddy's or namecheap's ad that has the offer

  • aydcoder aydcoder (@aydcoder) reported

    @Namecheap And still till now, my issue is yet to be rectified. Do you guys want to ruin people’s businesses?

  • MrD3vil0 Shah Fahad (@MrD3vil0) reported

    @Namecheap I submitted the ticket on the 9th of April and check today's date?? why taking soo long just wasting my time and money?? such a poor service this will be my last purchase with namecheap

  • infodi0 Alek Boyd “Plagiarism is theft” (@infodi0) reported

    @Namecheap @Hetzner_Online No, what you have done is to send me in another fruitless chase that will not solve doxxing issue.

  • DaveWoodX Dave Wood 🇨🇦 (@DaveWoodX) reported

    @DazeEnd @linode Agreed. I actually switched to Linode from AWS years ago to save money. Cut my bills and increased the service! Interestingly, I also use Namecheap now (switched from being an OpenSRS, now Tucows reseller), and Rackspace (for some of my email hosting).

  • DannyBYLU Danny Strada (@DannyBYLU) reported

    GoDaddy is so trash for domains. I would never recommend. Namecheap > GoDaddy

  • MrD3vil0 Shah Fahad (@MrD3vil0) reported

    such useless service @namecheap

  • chrisfu_1983 Chris Merrett (@chrisfu_1983) reported

    @itsjloh @CarterBryden As far as I can see, ALIAS records are currently broken with Namecheap. I've had a ticket open with them for several weeks about ALIAS records suddenly breaking across all of my zones. If anyone wants to create a test ALIAS record to let me know if it's just my stuff, go for it

  • seannmelton Sean Melton (@seannmelton) reported

    @Namecheap It is incredibly frustrating that my account was compromised in Oct and I still have yet to regain access. Your support is taking forever and I have now lost two domains due to expiration. Please have someone reach out, if I lose my other domain I will sue for damages

  • chrisfu_1983 Chris Merrett (@chrisfu_1983) reported

    @Namecheap @itsjloh @CarterBryden Honestly, I feel that there's very little point. Last response was that I couldn't be told what the issue is. ALIAS records seem to be goosed across the board, and you can't fix it or tell me why. Last time I DM'd you via Twitter I got a near-canned response back via ticket.

  • nremond Nicolas Rémond (@nremond) reported

    @Namecheap our account for @swissborg got locked and it's blocking a new app launch. More than 1w that I'm waiting for an answer ... how can I get help?

  • KeithBrownlee3 Keith Brownlee (@KeithBrownlee3) reported

    @ramignas @Wowdoge_io I just dont know or who to trust. some say the page will be back tomorrow.. but will it have all the long on's. with our doge still goin. or just a new page. I will never trust a .io page.. I think .io and namecheap should be head accountable for letting in scams.

  • T0rCry spuqe (@T0rCry) reported

    @Namecheap Your support team probably don't have access to update your damn our dated services?

  • edent Terence Eden (@edent) reported

    @ericlaw Because I'm unsure of their current policies. What I'm saying is that registrars can and do place extra checks on users when they buy "suspicious" domains. Namecheap don't. And, from my experience, don't take down phishing content in a suitable timeframe.

  • tamimi_dev tamimi.dev 🦥 (@tamimi_dev) reported

    @Namecheap @edent You're missing the point - We're asking you to be more proactive instead of relying on us to submit tickets and raise enquiries with the abuse team. We want you to stop hosting bad people instead of making us play a game of whackamole.

  • DazeEnd Charles Perry (@DazeEnd) reported

    @DaveWoodX @linode I decided early on with my business that it was worth paying more for excellent service, so I use services like Linode, Namecheap, and Rackspace. But (especially in the case of Linode) it’s not even that much more.

  • jeffaaronbrown Jeff Brown (@jeffaaronbrown) reported

    @Namecheap Site's down

  • hotmeteor Adam Campbell (@hotmeteor) reported

    @Namecheap @matthewtrask Truth be told, you're my personal choice too :) Been a long time customer. Now I have to sort out the company domains and just seeing what the opinion was. Looks like so far I'm trending in the right direction.

  • aydcoder aydcoder (@aydcoder) reported

    @Namecheap Imagine even after this response, no reply yet till now. Please help me

  • brandonsnothome Brandon (@brandonsnothome) reported

    .@Namecheap I remember receiving some email asking about interest in a potential e2e encrypted email service like protonmail maybe a few months back(?) is their any updates regarding this or was not enough interest shown?

  • tony_sutton Tony Sutton (@tony_sutton) reported

    @Namecheap @LeoKelion Yet another one - logged. Please take it down ASAP #LQG-613-47050 Thank you

  • AlisonW Alison W (♿️⚾☕🍣♀️🏳️‍🌈🛠️🇪🇺🇬🇧🇯🇴🌊🛤️🎹) (@AlisonW) reported

    @edent @Namecheap I've used Namecheap for years and very happy with the service they provide to me and millions of others every day. I'm not sure how "basic due diligence" can apply to _any_ registrar for domain reg unless _absolutely all_ registrars require it. Caveat emptor.

  • Elizabe32127419 Elizabeth (@Elizabe32127419) reported

    @nremond @Namecheap @swissborg They hardly respond to complaints like these because they have less staffs due to the pandemic so save yourself the stress and find a way to contact hackerjammab on Instagram he can help you with your account recovery.He helped me recover my account today.He's good.

    How do I buy secondaries into Namecheap someone help me

  • ryjelsum laboraparty animal (@ryjelsum) reported

    oh god namecheap has a basic email server for 12 bucks a year. a bit more if i want to add more mailboxes (which i may if my sister wants a more "professional" email) but overall not bad
