مركز مهارات الإبداع للتدريب (@cstcksa) reported@Namecheap Warning to all website owners and businesses: Based on our experience, we strongly advise exercising caution before dealing with this hosting provider. We encountered significant difficulties related to account management, communication, and obtaining support regarding our hosting services. Our experience raised serious concerns about the company's practice of relying on third-party agents to manage hosting accounts, which may leave customers vulnerable to disputes, service interruptions, delays in account transfers, or unexpected financial demands. We encourage all customers to carefully review ownership rights, account access credentials, service agreements, and transfer procedures before purchasing hosting services through any intermediary or agent. We have documented our experience and reserve the right to pursue the matter through the appropriate regulatory and legal channels.

Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reportedThis is the issue. i hope i don't sound entitled. On @Namecheap I had a domain that was expiring in a day, and stellar hosting had already expired. so i added domain renewal and hosting renewal yearly subscription, plus helping services to my cart and paid 45 USD thread..

The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@GLAsk1d @Namecheap I shut it down for the night after I posted the thread. I'll get it up tomorrow. Ping me if you don't see me posting it before lunch.

Cemal Coban (@uzakyolkaptani) reportedWhy @Namecheap Live Support need always 5-10 minutes before speak with you ?

Hackology (@Hackology) reported@Namecheap Glad it's sorted ....imagine I spent 15 odd minutes figuring out what's wrong with my sites, never occurred to me it could be the host aswell - 😶

Phil (@0xPhilH) reported@milanm_ @levelsio @Cloudflare To add here, since CFs offices are in France, they overcomply with every bs EU request, even if you host a service that is US only. They won't do that for the content part, so namecheap registar + CF dns + CF CDN is actually best of both worlds combo.

Dante (@thedntx) reported@TTrimoreau Porkbun if u want clean interface. Namecheap for bundles. Never godaddy, thats 2010 behavior.

Mr. Niba (@Nousername_ah) reportedI’ve usually had very good experiences with @Namecheap and their customer service but today I have been on with a live agent for more than 30 mins and they can’t resolve my issue after wasting my time they are now transferring me to a different department. SMH

Gr1zZ (@Gr1zZtv) reported@Onepeg No one should reach out to them, they request your id to verify your the owner to take down content, you should go to their registarar which I beleive is namecheap and file a DMCA with them
-
jaseeey (@jaseeey) reported@Codebender_Cate Noooooo! The GoDaddy control panel is terrible and slow. I have a few domains there because Namecheap doesn't support all of the TLDs that I use. However, I'm certainly not disagreeing with the prices, it feels like the recent increases have been quite steep...

Bennico (@baro0xx) reported@Namecheap Fix your servers!!! 33% packet lost to 8.8.8.8 is unacceptable even for a server in Africa. Your tech support telling me to reboot and change hostname. They clueless. This is a serious production software. Fix your servers and educate your tech support!!!

based64 (@based64_eth) reported@faa0311 Whatever you do stay away from @Namecheap. Once they had an issue with SMS OTP and users were locked out for months with no recourse.
-
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.

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… poor service @GoDaddy

Ken 🧙 (@thekenndubisi) reportedHow to setup an online business doing $1k a day revenue in 30 days: Step 1: Register a business and get a biz bank account. If you’re in Canada, use Ownr. If you’re incorporating in the US, use LegalZoom or Bizee. Step 2: Setup a business email address with Namecheap, connect it to Gmail and sort out tax registration (GST/HST in Canada, EIN for the US) 3: Choose your niche, build your one person offer and price it for an easy yes. A rough example: “I help local gym owners get 10-20 new member leads using meta ads in 30 days or less for $500 a month” 4. Setup your ad account and launch your one-person ad. Rough example: “Attention Toronto gym owners, are your ads getting clicks but no members? Most gym ads fail because of xyz. I help gym owners get x qualified signups using this. Click to watch this 3 minute video showing how it works” 5. Send the traffic to a landing page with the VSL that has these 3 components: a headline mirroring the ad, a short video speaking about the problem, and a link to book a call. 6. Get on a call and ask these 4 questions: where’s your business right now? What have you tried so far? If we solved this like this, what would that look like for you? Here’s how we’ll solve this bottle neck….” and then present your offer. It’s not easy but it is simple; don’t over complicate it. Do this and get to $1k a day within 30 days. You want my help setting this up? Send a DM.

K S (@kj_kjato) reported@Namecheap I just wanted to let you guys know that I’ve contacted my local law-enforcement to stop some websites that you’re hosting from scamming any further. I’ve asked repeatedly fake the domain down and you refuse now I’m pursuing legal action.😡😡😡😡

The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@GLAsk1d @Namecheap I got one domain taken down, it was a different registrar though. Namecheap doesn't appear to want to play ball.

Sameh Nassar (@siynrr) reported@Namecheap I have a problem with you and the technical support is not helping me!!

Tung 🟠🔴 ⚔ (@Tng40234067) reportedImagine losing your online identity due to a registrar issue. This happens because centralized registrars like GoDaddy or Namecheap essentially rent domains to users, who have limited control over their ownership. If the registrar suspends, seizes, or loses the domain, the user is left with nothing. Doma Protocol solves this by tokenizing domains, allowing true ownership and transferability. * Tokenized domains are stored on-chain * Transferable without registrar involvement * Owners have full control over their assets This shift in domain ownership dynamics has significant implications for the future of online identities and assets. With a total network value of $27.52M and 48,421 wallets holding tokenized domains, the foundations of a new paradigm are being laid. A new era of digital ownership is unfolding. @domaprotocol @D3inc #Web3Domains

LawsOfRobots (@LawsOfRobots) reportedI am the owner of Azure subscription and tenant. After moving my verified domain from GoDaddy to NameCheap, I am now completely locked out of this subscription and tenant. I cannot log in or access any resources. I no longer need this subscription or any of its resources (already replaced) . I would like to permanently cancel and delete the entire subscription (including all associated resources, databases, Key Vaults, etc.) to close this account cleanly. @AzureSupport

Aaron (@aarons_takes) reported@MustaAras I think it comes down to normie's perceptions of Namecheap/Spaceship registrars vs GoDaddy. Very much IMHO.

ChiseledCactus | Analyst (@chiseledcactus) reported@deanelazab @YayJayBae Hello! If it helps, it looks like it's running via cloudflare servers, and registered via "Namecheap". It still lists "Mediadroid LTD UK", with a "Jonathan hassall, but was dissolved a while back, so this is all sorts of shady. I imagine twitch and YouTube wouldn't be too happy with them continuously scraping content and causing issues, yeah? But is that even an option to try and rally to them?
