  • maximehugodupre Maxime Dupré 🔨🥹 (@maximehugodupre) reported

    @itzkarl_d @LeeMcDonaldDev If you use Heroku you will need to use another service to host emails 🤔 I'm using NameCheap and have not had any issues yet 💪

  • NetOpWibby area51.👽/ (@NetOpWibby) reported

    @eskimo_dev @Namecheap @Porkbun Knew it was a matter of time before this Web2 shady **** happened over here.

  • iamjamesdamnit protest advocatus diaboli (@iamjamesdamnit) reported

    @Namecheap get your **** together. At least let us know your connection is down.

  • AGreatDomain Bob Hawkes (@AGreatDomain) reported

    @BrandAlready As well as Namecheap as mentioned, Porkbun, Dynadot and NameSilo I believe (renewal is expensive everywhere on this TLD). Also if have DCC membership they support it.

  • DotTheShake The Shake (@DotTheShake) reported

    @NB_domains @Namecheap It does not support Handshake yet, but future integration is mentioned.

  • tochi_harrison Tochi (@tochi_harrison) reported

    @Namecheap The fact that I was not granted access to my account and you have failed to respond to my mail speaks bad of your company.

  • SpencerBradleyX Spencer Bradley (@SpencerBradleyX) reported

    @NathanBrodeur01 That's so wild. I'll contact namecheap support tmrw.

  • PiousGeek Kọ́lápọ̀ IMAM 🇳🇬 (@PiousGeek) reported

    Namecheap sending me reminders for domains I never used. Why you doing this to me 🌚

  • BeeHiveCyberSec BeeHive CyberSecurity (@BeeHiveCyberSec) reported

    @Adauchi6 @ProtonVPN @Namecheap Proton are fairly trustworthy guardians. Yes, more than likely if you do something god-awful on their services they’ll rat on you but otherwise, an option not yet shown untrustworthy.

  • cblavier Christian Blavier 🎙️ (@cblavier) reported

    @nutsmuggler I bought my domain on namecheap. Their email service is not great (cheap actually) but not free

  • GaryEMeyer Gary E. Meyer (@GaryEMeyer) reported

    @Namecheap Like MILLIONS of others, @Rackspace has been hacked and all emails are down. Namecheap has my DNS that needs to be changed, but wants to send a confirmation email for me to log in-impossible. Then the only other way is a text to my business LANDLINE. BUSINESS IS DEAD

  • MisfitYachtClub MISFIT.YC (@MisfitYachtClub) reported

    Was Super Excited Bought A Website Domain, Paid For it All Less Than 14 HRS Ltr… @Namecheap Decides To Lock My Account For Suspicious Activity (All I did was buy domain) Now Im Locked Out Of My Account •NO RESPONSE FROM TEAM •LIVE CHAT CANT HELP ME @Namecheap WTF

  • TinaArnoldi Tina Arnoldi (@TinaArnoldi) reported

    Consistently amazed at the support I received from @Namecheap. They answer my questions, don't read from a script, and don't talk to me like I'm stupid (even though sometimes I may be).

  • sufyanism Sufyan bin Uzayr (@sufyanism) reported

    @Namecheap I have some feedback about your quality of support; whom can I write to? Is there a contact point for Tier 2 or Tier 3 desk?

  • 00wasp001 00wasp00 (@00wasp001) reported

    @UK_Daniel_Card @Namecheap Errrr you’re obvs wrong… I’ve seen the vpn ads… deffo keeps the hoodie bad guys out… if only businesses used these “vpn” and no one would ever get hacked ;)

  • UIBICOffical UIBIC (@UIBICOffical) reported

    Alrighty it seems like our web page is not loading because of an issue to do with @Namecheap we're going to contact them right now

  • burumanet Buruma (@burumanet) reported

    @paperclover @Namecheap I had that marked on my calendar but must have missed it. Was out of the country for three weeks in October. Crap.

  • simon_newhouse Simon Newhouse (@simon_newhouse) reported

    @UK_Daniel_Card @Namecheap Or tor for that matter. I love how tor's documentation basically has a "don't do dumb ****" section.

  • 0x4A757A TBallin (@0x4A757A) reported

    @Namecheap You said it offered complete privacy, but the guy sat next to me on the train still managed to figure out my porn preferences... WTF @Namecheap you tricked me

  • MajorKlint laurence (@MajorKlint) reported

    @Daliyan_ Namecheap is one of the cheapest website hosting service there is, it's fast and reliable. Bluehost is another affordable website hosting service there is. If you'd want me to expatiate on both and which is preferable, My DM is always open to you!

  • usman_latif Usman Latif (@usman_latif) reported

    @Namecheap I like everything about #NameCheap, but your domain validation feature has been broken for years. I love @Cloudflare for DNS management, and I always have to contact support to point domains to NC hosting. Kindly fix the TXT DNS validation.

  • willgivess Will (@willgivess) reported

    @Artificialesta Now I feel like an idiot. Thank you. My MX records stayed intact. The domain is on Namecheap and the hosting is Vercel. MX is on vercel. I just can’t figure it out. One difference is I’m missing the google certification TXT record but the name is still verified by google

  • LeoAW Leo Weese 獅草地 (@LeoAW) reported

    Quite shocked by how poor security is over at @EasyWP. A hosted wordpress blog was allegedly breached (and subsequently suspended), but @Namecheap isn't able to say when this happened, and they didn't notify the account owner (me). They show zero interest in investigating.

  • NotThisTux 𖡷 Tux - @tux@hachyderm.io 🏴🚩 (@NotThisTux) reported

    @Namecheap only when it's illegal. So *ahem* never, because I'd never do anything illegal.

  • 0_1_0_1_0_0_0_0 J (@0_1_0_1_0_0_0_0) reported

    @Namecheap Was hosting phishing. It seems down now.

  • MarcLachapelle Marc Lachapelle (@MarcLachapelle) reported

    @Namecheap @ciranews Sure. I will in a few secs. I directed my post to CIRA because bad actors are using many domain registrars.
