Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Bogey Wilcox (@brasscogg) reportedUnverified conspiracy theory: GoDaddy holds all these inactive domains through a shell company so they can charge finders fees and commission to “find” the owner of the domain, themselves Namecheap would never stoop to such loser levels
-
GhostyTongue ツ (@Gh0styTongue) reportedIf @Namecheap had a **** I would be sucking it rn because how good their service is.

Sahil Jaiswal (@Sahil_Jaiswal02) reportedGodaddy is a **** I should have gone with hostinger or namecheap My site is down after 2 days of getting it …even after successfull verification 😤 No support, no person available @GoDaddy
-
SYL Vexora- Jaron K Bragg (@JaronBragg) reported@its_sidraa Why not skip namecheap and just use cloudflare for both domain and DNS? Cloudflare actually puts my website on the map. Namecheap I never seen it and was hard for others to surface. Other than that it makes sense.

The Smart Ape 🔥 (@the_smart_ape) reportedmillions of companies forget to renew their domain names every year. you can just buy the expired domain someone forgot about and get a premium on it. it’s called drop catching. where to find them discovery + filtering: → expireddomains[.]net → domcop → freshdrop → moonsy auctions + catching: → godaddy auctions → namecheap expired auctions → dynadot closeouts → namejet / snapnames → dropcatch (1,200+ registrars, best catch rate on contested names) the process: domain expires → grace period → “pending delete” → drops. once it’s pending delete (usually ~5 days before the drop) you can place a backorder. if more than one person wants it, it goes to auction. most of these never get listed for sale. catch the ones with real value (traffic, backlinks, brandable names).

Jenna. Ellis (@JennaeIlIisEsq) reported@Namecheap @TeamDreier Pls what is going on with namecheap hosting ? My hosting has not been working since yesterday….. fix it pls
-
Ajetomobi Jamiu (@JamiuAjetomobi) reportedIt doesn't matter how great your content or product is if your audience never sees it. The fix requires updating your technical security keys inside your domain host (like @GoDaddy or @Namecheap) so providers know you are a trusted sender.

CAPED CRUSADER🦇 (@stilleclectic) reported@matthansbello Sigh, everything was originally done on namecheap but I’ve now just moved the dns to cloudflare. Waiting to see if that fixes the issue

Mehmet Ali Demirci (@malidemirci_gm) reported@Namecheap unable to solve CDN and slow site problems for over two days!
-
Spaceship (@spaceship) reported@Atifel_ We take accusations of front-running very seriously, and we want to assure you with 100% certainty that Spaceship never registers domain names based on customer search queries. The domains you provided are registry premium and not registered with Spaceship or Namecheap. Because the registry determines the base cost for these premium names, the higher price applies to both the initial registration and the annual renewals.

Alex 🇵🇸 (@alexjaxuk) reported@receipts_lol But people are praying attention. I've been a lifelong namecheap customer but after what they did to you guys I've moved everything to porkbun

Zara_Schneider (@ZSchneider76107) reported@MacdevM Mostly comes down to control and pricing for me Cloudflare and Namecheap usually stand out for clean management and no unnecessary upsells 🚀

𝕂𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕤𝕒𝕣𝕘𝕖⚓☔👾🇺🇸 (@USS_Kearsarge_) reportedFYI I won't be able to talk on Matrix for a while, because namecheap seems to be down and doesn't want to update their DNS with my new ip address... I guess I will need to make a server on discord after all
-
LND (@y1vl3vy) reported@the_smart_ape Tbh I have nothing to do with it. There are no clear alternatives for gmail. Every other email registrar could fall as well so no point into thinking that switching from google is gonna save you for sure. Namecheap can go down, microsoft as well and every other ******* email registrar.
-
Arsi Hoxha (@ArsiHoxha_) reported@adahstwt Namecheap for years then switched to Cloudflare and never looked back. no markup, no upsells, no drama 🫶

... (@irucsbo) reported@NamecheapCEO I used Namebase (owned by @Namecheap) to manage my funds. Three months ago, you sold the platform without notifying your clients. Since Namecheap sold the platform, I have lost access to my funds, and this issue has now been ongoing for more than three months.

QARTIFY (@QArtify28) reported@vivoplt Namecheap is good, but if you want best service after purchase, GoDaddy

Michael Knight (@michaelmknight) reported@cPanel Hi, I upgraded from ImunifyAV+ to Imunify360. I’m now being asked for a license key. I wasn’t provided one and I can’t find a key anywhere in your Client Area and under Orders/Licenses. Your support states to contact Namecheap and is sending me around in circles, but it's nothing to do with them as I purchased the upgrade from you and I can't send a support ticket. Any help would be appreciated.

monsterTrapXx9 (@monsterTRAPxx9) reported@Namecheap @TomoLifeUpdates you guys suck ***** for suspending neocities when they werent even mentioned in the court order. We are actively avoiding ur service & dissuading ppl from using it

Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported@Namecheap Oh FFS so it's caused by Right Clicking to Copy the password. If you just double click & "ctrl c" it does not add "Refresh" to the pasted text. I have never ever encountered this bloody nonsense before & so not understand why any developer would think this is acceptable.

Clément Sauvage (@clementsauvage) reported.@Namecheap locks your account Support : You have to check the email we sent Me : No email, dumbass Support : Ok write to security, they'll reply in 2 hours Me : OK, doing it ... 5 hours later... nothing Current status: no access to my domain, can't swap my DNS. I rly think they don't give a **** about their customers... a huge and deep f*ck you. Have you seen a worst company ? Tell me more... @NamecheapCEO
