    3. Good luck getting support. When I have a problem with a VPS or dedicated server (say, on Namecheap) I'm on live chat with support within minutes. When I have a problem with AWS, I slowly begin to hang a noose from my living room chandelier.

  • DelvyG Delvy Eleiber (@DelvyG) reported

    @Namecheap Down, like the pages after @namechap deletes them for no reason. Without caring about anything and without providing efficient means of communication.

  • KristapsMors Kristaps Mors (@KristapsMors) reported

    Wow! Thanks to @Namecheap for incredible fast reaction this time! Fraud was disabled even before I managed to create a support ticket about it, less than 30 minutes after my first tweet! 🤯

  • oyeleye731 The Fuchs (@oyeleye731) reported

    @asemota Namecheap website was down sometime last week.

  • obafashola Fashola-Oba (@obafashola) reported

    @asemota For some time now namecheap website goes down but the server still keeps running. That thing always scare me

  • onreact Tadeusz Szewczyk (Tad Chef) (@onreact) reported

    @Namecheap Yeah, no problem. Just trying to help. I've been with Namecheap fora year. I still care.

    @Namecheap you are slow!

  • ian_soboroff Ian Soboroff (@ian_soboroff) reported

    @sinanaral @hmason @Namecheap We had folks who wanted to do deepfake detection as an evaluation task but the problem is collecting good data.

  • datjetsonfranco Active Frank (Up in all the stores.) 💪🏾 (@datjetsonfranco) reported

    @Namecheap dashboard loading super slow and then getting cloudflare error screen

  • C4ct00s Like.a.Cactoos (@C4ct00s) reported

    @Namecheap your #SuperSonicCDN is utter ****. Kill that thing, broke my site, made impossible to access, and took a lot of time to troubleshot. The only solution was to eliminate the service. Also #EasyWP is really bad and expensive, shared hosting is way better.

  • ChrishanJay Chrishan R Jayakody (@ChrishanJay) reported

    @namila007 Had the same kind of issue(I guess) when I tried to move my domain from Godaddy to NameCheap. Admin email of the domain was using the same domain, and I could not get the authorization code to confirm the transfer.

  • MostlyDev Wojtek (voy-tech) (@MostlyDev) reported

    @Namecheap Ha Ha. Been very happy so far. Cheap, email forwarding, dyndns, alias records. Honestly, no reason to find any other registrar. FreeDNS sold me, and I never left.

  • Hi5thisAzn Topher.Li (@Hi5thisAzn) reported

    @Namecheap is there something going on internally at your organization? my company has been locked out of our account and our website has been down since Sunday. No replies from the risk management team. How long does it take to fix a domain issue?

  • indyradio7 June Yu (@indyradio7) reported

    @lothar97 @Cryptome_org You're ok but namecheap is involved in many shady practices - mainly in support of professional spammers, who are your biggest customers. I also have documentation that namecheap inserts dnssec records to prepare selected domains for auction BEFORE their expiration.

  • RealAndrewPont Andrew Pontbriand 👽 (@RealAndrewPont) reported

    @Namecheap I need someone from Risk Management to respond toy ticket immediately. You guys allowed someone to stealy information and purchase a domain with my business debit card. I have been waiting a week for a reply. Just being ignored. Customer for almost a decade. Not happy

  • C4ct00s Like.a.Cactoos (@C4ct00s) reported

    @Namecheap Yeah, i talked more than an hour with Andrii, pretty cool guy with lots of patience. The problem is supersonic CDN is really, really, really bad. I noticed more redirections than needed, and made my dashboard unaccessible, stop selling that ****. Please.

  • asto2121 Arun (@asto2121) reported

    @umanghome @banglani I had a similar issue with Namecheap. Trying to manually charge the card they had saved failed. But adding another card afresh worked.

  • TesfayeJameson Tesfaye (@TesfayeJameson) reported

    @asemota Hosting sucks on namecheap.

  • KiloDelta8 John Durham (@KiloDelta8) reported

    @VittoStack I manually tinker mines into my VPS on @Namecheap and configure it all from one service.

  • Rajesh23MD Mappu (@Rajesh23MD) reported

    @hmason @Namecheap Been scammed by a site hosted on @Dynadot - never really knew what to do about them. Reported, but I haven’t seen their site taken down. Namecheap are a lot cool in taking appropriate action! Seeing your tweet, now reported to cloudfare as well. Let’s see. 🥲

  • indyradio7 June Yu (@indyradio7) reported

    @lothar97 @Cryptome_org when one of my domains was made inaccessible after a namecheap employee inserted bogus dnssec records, I transfered that domain to another registrar. That was a truly broken trust I could not afford. You sort it out: I will protect my domain. support claimed it was a "bug". hmmm

  • sjkilleen Sean Killeen (@sjkilleen) reported

    .@cloudflare .@Namecheap what is the appropriate process to report a domain name / customer of yours who is currently dedicated to spreading misinformation & harassment?

  • motyar Motyar (@motyar) reported

    @harshamv @digitalocean @ICICIBank_Care All cards works well via paypal. Having issues at namecheap. But paypal worked. Digitalocean working well for me with icici card

  • Bfaviero Bruno Faviero (@Bfaviero) reported

    Has anyone ever gotten a ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR but only for *some* users? Currently getting this on one router and not another... problem with a domain forwarded from namecheap to netlify.

  • preppers_net The Preppers Network (@preppers_net) reported

    @Namecheap Tried that. Your "support" team just send me around in circles. I've been with you for years & never had a problem. Now your system has just turned to complete & utter shite. So I am now registering domain names elsewhere & cancelling my WP sites.

  • CryptoRiven Riven (@CryptoRiven) reported

    9) So I had contacted Huobi, Binance and Namecheap (Website host) and none of them could help me, at this point I just gave up. I thought about quitting crypto but 1 week later I realized how stupid that sounded since it was all 100% my own fault.

  • preppers_net The Preppers Network (@preppers_net) reported

    @Namecheap YOUR system is down too @NamecheapCEO it wont send verification codes to the registered email address. 5 days now I haven't been able to access my SKREAMWORK account !!

  • JashSayani Jash Sayani (@JashSayani) reported

    @Sarah_Swanson @Namecheap @TMobileHelp We need to fix technology to eliminate spam. Messages from legit businesses should have a checkmark or something in messaging apps. UK does this well. SMS from banks show the bank name instead of a number. Some sort of special short code system integrated with smartphones.
