-
Charity Gamble (@cgambledev) reported@Namecheap I have been a loyal customer for years, but I am strongly reconsidering that. My hosting is set up for auto-renewal. Yet every single month I get an “overdue” notice, followed an hour later by a “pay in 72 hours or be suspended” notice. This is unacceptable.

Vivek Teegalapally (@vivekteega) reported@prbhtkumr @Namecheap I am still trying to understand, what is the issue that makes you say that?

Mila Chervenkova 🍩 (@MilaChervenkova) reported@_maxantonov @GoDaddy @Cloudflare I use NameCheap and I am super happy with their support.
-
Thesidman7 (@thesidman7) reported@charlietlamb namecheap, but now i am thinking that godaddy isn't that bad
-
Edgex (@SahilExec) reported@YashHustle_22 I stick with Namecheap - cheap, decent UI and solid support.
-
Steven Crothers (@scrothers89) reported@Samaytwt I used to work at Namecheap. Ive /never/ bought a domain from Namecheap. Even while working there. Do that math.
-
Ro (@robuildsthings) reported@Gaus450 for some reason i chose namecheap about 15 years ago and have never ever tried anyone else lol, crazy how that happens, no reason at all just i have an account there haha

AI SaaS Launchpad (@AISaaSLaunchpad) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC (.de registry) handles transfers differently than gTLDs—it requires real-time authcode validation via a direct registry connection, which Namecheap's backend integration doesn't support for inbound moves. The workaround is transferring to a registry with direct DENIC support (like Porkbun or Hetzner) and pointing DNS to Namecheap.
-
Domayn Kapital (@domaynkapital) reported@Namecheap every few weeks there's a domain I win with non-functioning namerservers. 3-4 times in the last months. I contact support and they tell gaslight me telling me it's all fine. Waste 30 minutes until they call a specialist to fixt it. Please deal with this.
-
Julian Engel (@julianengel) reported@scheemunai @spaceship @Dynadot Pricing is the biggest factor (spaceship is owned by namecheap - but pricing is much better), better UX and both of these support MCP and API access so they are agent friendly :)
-
Novit Ekka (@novitekka) reported@Namecheap @Namecheap Is this the service we pay for?
-
Benjamín Ortiz (@OlvidateTWT) reported@charlietlamb namecheap = poor godaddy = uncle vercel = poser cloudflare = tech people
-
Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported3/7 - The bold part was zero-confirmation delivery. A Bitcoin payment isn't settled until miners include it in a block, roughly 10 minutes at best. Most merchants waited for one to six confirmations. Namecheap activated your purchase the moment the transaction hit the network.
-
Rob (@RobGuerra90) reported@omarvvvr Namecheap all the way never had a problem in years and their customer support is on point
-
Tøbias Thømmes (@tobias_thommes) reported@AlfLark @Samaytwt I had no issue with service (yet). Owned by Namecheap, is that a bad thing?
-
Nat (@natillack) reportedExpedited transfer out of NameCheap seems to be broken the past day.
-
Jay (@Cyberlane) reported@diegohaz Already did that a while ago. I really disliked namecheap, their support was poor and the inability to simply change a username was crazy to me. Everything is on Cloudflare now and couldn’t be happier!
-
Shilpi Agrawal (@shilpiagrawal55) reported@_swanand vaguely familiar with dns enough to get my work done. Had added Custom vercel DNS on namecheap (now that i open namecheap and see). Did this few months ago so no recollection except i dont remember having issues with it. Have two custom domains added on Vercel.
-
Joseph Miclaus (@josephmiclaus) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap Didn't know this. Maybe they can do it manually through support?
-
Pete (@petecodes) reportedThe new update from @namecheap PrivateEmail service is really bad. I no longer get a "replied" icon so I can't see at a glance when I've replied or not. It's also slower, I suspect due to AI feature The older design was pretty basic but at least it showed me what I needed
-
Mikhail Rogov (@i_mika_el) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap very strange. did Namecheap support confirm there is no manual transfer path either?
-
Lg Shurley (@SurelyLg) reported@Namecheap #namecheap lost a thousands of dollars today due to bad business. They refused to refund a purchase they made a mistake on. This violates a sacred covenant between business & customer. They are unethical and have forgotten what it means to appreciate a customer.#ethics
-
4L.com (@4Ldotcom) reported@Dynadot, please allow users to download filtered domain lists from your marketplace without logging in. Right now, when someone clicks the "Download" button, the file is not downloaded. Instead, the user is sent to another page and asked to enter a login and password. All domains are already visible to users who are not logged in. They can also collect the data directly from the page by showing 1,000 results per page. However, it would be much easier if users could download a list based on their selected filters. This would also reduce unnecessary load on your website. Another option is to provide a public link with all marketplace domains in CSV format, similar to Namecheap. The file could be updated every 30-60 minutes.

Kumar M (@mannur_kumar) reported@kritikakodes godaddy for indian customer support. namecheap or spaceship for less price
-
Brian Lee Mayes ✞ ❞𝓢𝓲𝔁❞ 𝓢𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓛𝓮𝓮 (@BrianLeeMayes) reported@Namecheap Turns out, y'all were doing maintenance, with no notice I could find. That should probably be shown on what ever login screen one uses...just a thought. Being 3rd party, IDK how that would work. I'm still talking to them about switching away from Roundcube. They don't know how.

Atta 🐬 (@attacomsian) reported@codewith55 Namecheap for buying. i spent years in the domain world, GoDaddy works but the upsells never stop.
