Best AI Tools ! (@Impact177) reportedNamecheap was down for 15 hours yesterday. 5,000 servers. One datacenter. Zero redundancy. Here's what every website owner should check today 👇 1/3
-
Krishna Singh (@krishnasinghdev) reported@tapasadhikary @Namecheap I never liked namecheap / godaddy, don't know why people choose it over simple providers like cloudflare where they charge same amount for 1 or 10 years
-
Shriyans Sudhi (@ss0x00) reported@hahwul I use @Porkbun and namecheap - I had a few billing issues with cloudflare (none of the payment methods worked)
-
Shawn McAllister (@eas4ai) reported@Namecheap No… last time I had an issue, you said the same ****… kindly **** off.
-
Sir William Codey Best (@bbest12g) reported@dhh don't use namecheap they'll try and get a piece of that **** off money or w.e with a price hike after a few years.
-
365krypto.x (@365krypto) reported@agent144x Daaaaannng I'm late to the party. I should of known when they did a survey, it was real godaddy focused. I've been 365krypto.x for so long do I hang it up? The quiet transition, on how they did it, hurts the most to us day 1s. Now they are web2, I use namecheap

Kevin Guaman (@KCG3D) reportedi genuinely did not get the "hype" for this AI assistant called Instinct. if you have Codex or Claude, you can technically do everything it does. BUT, the problem is you need to download an app to your machine, make sure you got data/wi-fi, ask Computer Use to get it done, etc. Instinct just turned off auto renewal in Namecheap for a website for me. my first WOW moment was that it has it's own Vault, asked me for my password (like 1Password) and just got **** done for me. i don't know if i fully trust it yet, but it got it done over iMessage, accurately, in less than a minute, and sent a screenshot.

shon.vibes (@shonvibes) reported@Namecheap Apparently with namecheap's new terrible interface you cannot set up a default font for all of your emails. Those of us who run businesses often choose to do this so that message font aligns with the vibe of our company. Now, you have to manually do it in every email.

Melanie S Reed (@MelanieSReed) reportedAlso, NameCheap appears to have restored all service at this point. The "significant outage" was due to a cooling system failure at the RadiusDC: Phoenix data center. Ah, those data centers...again.
-
CatWard (@Catzwitch) reported@Namecheap support is being absolutely impossible today!Shut down our domain & no matter that we gave them the credit card on file & other things, they won't help us get in to restore. won't even let us give them a card to turn it back on! do NOT use them for domain registry!
-
Brand (@Brandslewaa) reportedThis raises serious questions about customer privacy, access controls, and internal security practices. I believe Namecheap should investigate this incident and provide a clear explanation of what happened and why those commands were executed.
-
SakuraAAH (@harunosakuraka) reported@Porkbun @spaceship @Namecheap 5/ The India Payment Problem 🇮🇳 Most top developer-recommended platforms (like Porkbun or Spaceship) offer great pricing but don't support native UPI. If your debit card lacks international enabling, your purchase will instantly fail. Don't let that stall your launch! Platforms that actually support UPI to lock down your name instantly: • GoDaddy India: Massive support for UPI, great initial promos, but watch out for intense checkout up-sells! • Hostinger India: Highly reliable local billing, excellent speeds, and clean UPI QR codes at checkout.

Amanda Nevill (@NevillAmanda) reported@Gun4aaaz @Namecheap I have been told the new private email doesn’t YET work for tablets and other..I have the same problem working from an iPad Pro. Can’t get any answer as to when it will be fixed or even IF IT WILL BE FIXED
-
Sedo (@selormsedofia) reported@bhartzer @Namecheap You can have all 3 spread out like I have done and still get screwed by namecheap just because hosting is down
-
Generalissimo P4X (@P4X_real) reported@UK_Daniel_Card See they had disaster recovery and their compliance standards said it had to be at a separate site. So they likely figured well, upstairs on the second floor is *basically* another site, I mean it’s a different location altogether, one has one set of coordinates and the other another. Besides their data centers are SOCII compliant meaning they have *environmental and power redundancy* because they care. Mostly they care about looking like they care though. Auditors came by, but they mostly had beers and didn’t give a ****, see they’re incentivized to not give a **** because a clean audit means they’ll be hired again. they’re totally independent, but the beers were good and their business depends on the one massive client. They of course made note of the DR situation, but namecheap accepted the risk by signing a paper and pinky swearing it would totally be fixed soonish at some point probably. This is my literal experience with compliance audits. They’re a joke. The bit about namecheap only using SOCII compliant data centers is real btw. So what happened? An abundant lack of competence.

Name Here (@seriousbanter) reporteduh oh, namecheap hosting.. down again?
-
Mildlysupreme (@mildlysupreme) reported@Namecheap @Cloudflare unfortunately namecheap's web app is so ridiculously slow on top of the price hikes.. this is going to take a while
-
Paras Sharma (@ParasSharma_23) reportedAlmost broke down while talking to namecheap support as I was trying to return a domain that I had bought for a project and it was not getting traffic, well **** it, we ball, not returning it, I’ll keep building even if I don’t get a single user.
-
Jai (@jai_ozzie) reported@NamecheapCEO 14+ hours of business email disruption. Emails bounced. Business impacted. Namecheap’s compensation? $10. Yes, $10. Does @Namecheap seriously believe this demonstrates accountability to a small business after a major infrastructure outage?
-
Top Shelf Names (@TopShelfNames) reportedSpaceship seems to have rewritten everything from the ground up except for the domain search function which is arguably the most important feature, and the worst part about Namecheap. I may be alone here, but I find Beast Mode insufferable.
-
Jai (@jai_ozzie) reported@Namecheap The @Namecheap PR machine is impressive. The accountability isn’t. Publicly, @NamecheapCEO talks about customers and restoring trust. But when a real customer gives you an opportunity to demonstrate that accountability, silence. PR theatre ≠ accountability.
-
Bassem Aly (@basaly89) reportedAre you down again? @Namecheap
-
Build A Goat (@buildAgoat) reported@Namecheap @NamecheapCEO after the Private Email / Jellyfish backend upgrade, my outbound mail is landing in Gmail spam even though SPF, DKIM, and DMARC all pass. Looks like shared outbound reputation on the new path. Can someone from PE support look into deliverability? Happy to DM details.

Alex (@AlexejKirillov) reported@mwzd @MichaelCyger You'll always find companies that were successful no matter the TLD. Money will be made on these TLDs, but it will be the owners of the TLD, then maybe 0.1% of those who get their hands on the perfect span the dots, and the rest will just be rinsed. Let's just use the Namecheap list, with "Power" as the brand name - or you can just use any other Keyword (I like "Open" to make it fun as well) for that matter. In vast majority of cases it will not form a "span the dot" or "domain hack" brand. Are they all branding their company "Power" and the TLD doesn't matter? If yes, and you're marketing as "Power" only, imagine the marketing $$$ waste Are they all branding as Power+respective TLD? If yes, how much money will it take to change decades of human habit and behaviour to re-educate your customer, so they remember the full domain? And how much free traffic will you generate for Power+TLD․com and the waste of $$$ in the process power․aid power․arc power․asi power․brain power․clone power․craft power․den power․did power․droid power․fab power․flux power․folio power․forge power․foundry power․gate power․grid power․intel power․intelligence power․kit power․lab power․lens power․lift power․logic power․maker power․mart power․matrix power․mesh power․mod power․ops power․path power․scan power․sense power․shift power․ship power․sync power․synth power․sys power․trek power․view power․wave

Pitch Market Strategies & Public Relations, LLC (@team_pitch) reported@Namecheap what’s being done about the outage that we experienced and the business crippling that was shared across the board? We haven’t heard anything or at least I haven’t and we still owe bills. We deserve considerations for that experience.
-
Celso Maiolo (@MaioloCelso) reported@Namecheap I have been down over one week now? I’m running out of patience and excuses. I’m afraid that I’m going to have to move hosting providers as this upgrade or meltdown has singularly destroyed your reputation and business. How does it take over a week to restore?
-
Felix (@Reezxy23) reportedThere has never been a cheaper time to build. Claude = coding. ($20/mo) Supabase = backend. (Free) Vercel= deploying. (Free) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) Stripe = payments. (2.9%/ transaction) 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 monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20

Hank Oflameo (@Oflameo) reported@internetarchive If it make you feel better, @Namecheap had a power outage last week.
-
Joseph Miclaus (@josephmiclaus) reportedCan anyone beat my ~€10/mo hosting (~€120/year)? → 10 domains included btw. At €12.89 (Namecheap retail price) per .com/year I would already exceed the hosting plan (€128.9/year) just for domain costs. For Laravel I have PHP/Composer, DB, cron, limited SSH and custom domains. What I'm missing is native Go support. It only supports CGI. No process manager. No reverse proxy. Do you know a good/better hosting setup for Laravel, Go or both at roughly this price?
