  • jermops jeremy “purple-haired muppet” price (@jermops) reported

    @Namecheap Wait, you want me to point my DNS at your servers BEFORE you'll let me set up records? Do you see the problem with this??

  • itsnoahlenz Noah Lenz (@itsnoahlenz) reported

    Just had a terrible interaction with @Namecheap and am no fan of @GoDaddy What are the best alternatives?

  • nsajan साजन.भ/ (@nsajan) reported

    @dotsats @Sinqtr @Namecheap Yes it can be used in theory. We still need wallets that support names instead of addresses. As of now only Bob supports names. So there is a huge market opportunity for someone who wants to take an open source wallet and slap HNSD and a UI on top of it.

    Would namecheap be harbouring a criminal? What might they be afraid of? A customer protected. A customer that no doubt might have the wise answer is at the root I'm telling you.

  • yinksy09 yinksy09 (@yinksy09) reported

    Social media managers use this service for Facebook Ads, bloggers use it for Namecheap and other online services. Those that subscribe to Netflix, iTunes and so on. It is sad 😔

  • brightonfy 𝙗fy (@brightonfy) reported

    My host provider is @namecheap They are a cool bunch, the best support in the world. They give you 30 days money back guarantee if not satisfied with hosting. They have a great selection of domain name extensions too.

  • BenjaminGJW Benjamin George – Selfmastered.com (@BenjaminGJW) reported

    @Namecheap No cuz I'm not a snitch nor your automatic customer support be of any use

  • JayWuzer Lord Jay "Boss" UUu (@JayWuzer) reported

    @NamebaseHQ @Namecheap and @NamebaseHQ just keep making bad decisions after bad decisions, quite sad to see... 😢

  • yosoywil Wilson Muñoz (@yosoywil) reported

    @Namecheap what the hell happened to you guys? Being working for years with you and there is a big drop on quality from support and service that is really disappointing.

  • jermops jeremy “purple-haired muppet” price (@jermops) reported

    Hey @Namecheap, what if you let me configure DNS records before the transfer is complete, thereby eliminating an outage? How on earth is this not a thing already?

  • candieanderson Candie Anderson (@candieanderson) reported

    @dnprotect @Namecheap Thank you for your help. They bought the domain from Namecheap and the website is hosted on Cloud Flare. I contacted Google about having it removed since it's copyright infringement. I never received a confirmation from them, I'm hoping it went through.

  • dnprotect dnprotect (@dnprotect) reported

    @candieanderson @Namecheap Oh, the domain name they registered is a separate issue. If they domain name is confusingly similar to yours (and it also contains that copied content), there are separate ways to deal with the domain name.

  • hnnation Hacker News Nation (@hnnation) reported

    @melfinious @GoDaddyHelp I left GoDaddy! Went to @Namecheap — support is WAY better

  • candieanderson Candie Anderson (@candieanderson) reported

    @dnprotect @Namecheap Also, I just filed a DMCA takedown. Thanks again for your help.

  • moethelawnvr moethelawn @ TBA 7/16, 7/20, 7/22, 7/23 (@moethelawnvr) reported

    @KesiraeVR I recommend namecheap for buying domains. Stay away from 101domain as I had a bad experience there. If you want some free hosting, I can provide some space as I have a server out in the cloud. I'm always happy to support any sort of VR project.

  • DannyDonchev Danny Donchev (@DannyDonchev) reported

    @namecheap Your 2FA doesn't work for me. I can't access my account. Contacted support over 30 minutes ago.

  • pedroschm Pedro Schmitt (@pedroschm) reported

    @RogersKonnor Yes, Namecheap sucks 😞, if you forgot to renew, they do this. I'm using Cloudflare to register my domains now. Moved everything there.

  • BenjaminGJW Benjamin George – Selfmastered.com (@BenjaminGJW) reported

    Customer support for @Namecheap is ******* terrible. There is zero point in outsourcing your support to someone who cannot speak English & has to use Google Translate to understand. No matter how well documented, explained or detailed I communicate.

  • emusiclady Alina Kim (@emusiclady) reported

    @Namecheap So nice service which is difficult to get in Austria

  • candieanderson Candie Anderson (@candieanderson) reported

    @Namecheap @linode @Cloudflare Thank you. They are copying my website word for word, have stolen my photos, they are using my theme, which I paid for and are using affiliate links. Please let me know how else I can help with this investigation.

  • lovelycandyowo SweetCandy233 (@lovelycandyowo) reported

    @Namecheap @larche_de_noe Do you support payment methods like Alipay for users in China?

  • unwoman UNW0MⒶN (@unwoman) reported

    I am cursed: I lost a (probably fake tbh) friendship over the Berkeley Forest School thing, and my website is STILL down because of namecheap forking my DNS. BUT I am sending my album to mastering tonight! Uncovered Volume 7. And it kicks ***.

  • unwoman UNW0MⒶN (@unwoman) reported

    I just feel like me being a tiny bit hasty with internet purchases shouldn't cost me $1550 (Berkeley Forest School) or a 5-day website outage (namecheap)

  • andrewbonar Andrew Suroor Bonar (@andrewbonar) reported

    We gave @Namecheap business email a try for a couple of months over at @agency_cm Spam was manageable. Service reliable. Interface is clean. Incredibly low pricing when compared to many of the other MBP's. We have now extended for a year.

  • Tantrumfly Ruth Richards-Hill ♿♀🏳️‍🌈🐾 🇺🇦 (@Tantrumfly) reported

    @Namecheap does not allow their customers to backup and keep a copy of the website backup on the server space they are paying for. Especially when the customer optimises server function by compressing the backup files. Go figure …….. not good for business.

  • alexjustesen Alex (@alexjustesen) reported

    @hazj95 @Namecheap @Readdle Does namecheap have calendar support?

  • silvr Alex Silver @ 🌎 (@silvr) reported

    @mikaela__caron If you wanna DM I can try to help you out! Sometimes this happens when the name servers (NS records) are inadvertently changed. You prob only need an A record and a TXT record on Namecheap to have Netlify work.

  • dotsats john.sats 🤝 (@dotsats) reported

    @nsajan @Sinqtr @Namecheap I think use cases are my way forward. But a use case that solves a problem.

  • eroxyofficial the man (@eroxyofficial) reported

    Hello, @Namecheap I can't access my account, and I have lost access to my primary email address /I was hacked and locked out of my email address. I need help to gain access to my account

  • jermops jeremy “purple-haired muppet” price (@jermops) reported

    @Namecheap yes, it IS at another registrar. and yes i have DNS there. I'm currently transferring it to Namecheap, tho thinking that's a mistake rn, tbh. The problem is you won't let me create the DNS record on your system until it's transferred, at least not that i can find
