Nicolas Dorier (@NicolasDorier) reported@peterktodd @BtcpayServer @Namecheap I see two issues: 1. Proving to the payer that he is actually paying Namecheap. 2. Resolving a dispute if the payment is intercepted (because one party is compromised). (1) isn’t theoretically solvable; in practice there are "good enough" mitigations, like opening the same invoice on two different PCs and confirming the address matches. Realistically, I don’t expect customers to do that. (nor do I expect them to verify a signature on two computer for that matter) (2) is more tractable and only requires action if something goes wrong. I guess sending an email the payment address with a signature would be enough. Even if the payer doesn't check it, they both can pull the email later to see where did the compromise came from.

Charles Bosworth (@CharlesBosworth) reported@Namecheap Not waiting on NC support. They already responded and are not helpful. If @NamecheapCEO can't respond, I'll contact the CEO at Tucows.

UFO.XYZ (@MexicanGreek) reported@Namecheap Already talking to support and they are saying I am wrong, but it is obvious that this is an issue and quite a bad practice. Name was won partner network for $15 plus $18.48 renewal, and was already renewed to May 2026, and the renewal needs to be 2027 or refund back $18.48

Alx Andrws (@AlxAndrws) reported@Shpigford @Namecheap Namecheap have the best support of almost any company I’ve dealt with - not just domains. I would resolve with them and stick.

Stammy (@Stammy) reported@Shpigford @Namecheap Aws r53 or cloudflare. Ditched namecheap long ago. They had some security snafu where they got socially engineered pretty easily and didn’t manage that issue well imo

fhgconcept (@fhgconcept) reported@Namecheap While purchasing Romain, no issue was found .... But after purchasing, the platform comes up with issues, why @Namecheap ?

Firtina Ozbalikci (@firtozb) reported@ignacioaal @Shpigford @Namecheap They added support for a bunch more of them relatively recently
-
Claudio (@kazzkiq) reported@Shpigford @Namecheap Had the same issue. They pretend they can sell you the premium domain, then throw you in a limbo and just ignore you. I got lucky and solved the issue by finding that the domain was in auction by a competitor, then purchased it directly there. Feels almost like fraud tbh

UFO.XYZ (@MexicanGreek) reported@Namecheap I can't believe the response support gave and wrote an article on it on my page, and this is totally unacceptable practice and illegal.....
-
UFO.XYZ (@MexicanGreek) reportedThey responding with the below. I have checked the issue further. As a valued customer and in appreciation of your business with Namecheap, I will make an exception and provide a one-year renewal for your domain name. Exception?? It is what I was charged and paid for.
