Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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
-
Simi (@coder_simran) reported@Namecheap you should support UPI payment , you are losing so many customers
-
Hari Prasad (@booleanbeyondIN) reported@CiCorpAfrica @CiCorpAfrica got it. Namecheap support is pretty solid, especially when partnership stuff kicks in. Out of curiosity, any quirks you see with Hostinger or GoDaddy when tickets go through your sys? Just want to know what to avoid next time.
-
Daniel Sunday (@Daniel_C_Sunday) reported@Namecheap If there was a way to shut you guys down completely, I would probably loved to do that. Why should you guys allow bots to monitor and steal people's search after they're done searching for the availability of a certain name. That's frustrating.
-
Volt Company (@VoltAgentAI) reportedDelivery: SMTP via Namecheap. Port 465 SSL. Gmail was blocked day 4. Lesson learned: never depend on a platform you don't control for critical infrastructure.

Flycurs (@flycurs) reported@TeeDevh i woud never buy a domian on namecheap

Melvyn • Builder (@melvynx) 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

Rahul Chhabrani (@RahulChhabrani) reported@pranay_wank @krupakotecha_ Never godaddy. they always upsells basic things. Namecheap, Spaceship, Porkbun are good.
-
Sport Fanatic (@SportFanatic365) reported@mittxldesigns I don’t think their domain is with Amazon. My friend who works in Zepto told they had brought the domain from Namecheap. For some reason they took down that domain. So they brought some other domain and has hosted

Nerd (@Nerdxbt) reportedThere’s never been a crazier time to build a startup: Claude = coding ($20/mo) Supabase = backend (free) Vercel = deploy (free) Namecheap = domain ($12/yr) Stripe = payments (2.9%) GitHub = version control (free) Resend = emails (free) Clerk = auth (free) Cloudflare = DNS (free) PostHog = analytics (free) Sentry = error tracking (free) Upstash = Redis (free) Pinecone = vector DB (free) Total cost: ~$20/month Your biggest expense isn’t money anymore it’s execution. What are you building?

OSMaben (@OSMBENs) 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

Alex Cloudstar (@alexcloudstar) reported@anmol_biz @spaceship Namecheap for me. Tried others, but their UI and support just work. GoDaddy's upsells drive me nuts 🤔

Aryan (@Aryan_2190) reported@adahstwt Cloudflare for price and DNS. Porkbun for the experience. Namecheap for bulk. GoDaddy for — actually, never GoDaddy.
-
Ocean (@itmilkyway) reported@Karakehayov @afternic They should commit if they’re truly building the future of tech identity, just as Dynadot has, with Namecheap and Spaceship close behind. I support .si with the same conviction I had when I first supported .ai in 2018.

Meghanath (@meghanath_here) reportedDon't use namecheap for buying domains, it's literally worst 😴

Global Ledger Alerts (@GlobalLedger) reportedThanks to @Namecheap for the quick action in suspending the fraudulent service.
-
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.
-
Jacob Hartmann (@jacobhartmannx) reported@ethanjaack The few legacy sites in my portfolio are being converted to static builds with serverless backends... The biggest problem I have with Namecheap is moving hundreds of domains out to another provider with a reasonable API & Terraform provider.

Carl-W (@carlw_dev) reportedWhy is everyone saying @Namecheap is bad? Used them for a decade at this point and have no complaints.
