CMJ_Pro (@CMJProus) reported@Namecheap is a moron service fu moron ****
-
... (@irucsbo) reported@NamecheapCEO I used Namebase (owned by @Namecheap) to manage my funds. Three months ago, you sold the platform without notifying your clients. Since Namecheap sold the platform, I have lost access to my funds, and this issue has now been ongoing for more than three months.

Adam Maysonet (@synozeer) reported@TopShelfNames @spaceship If someone typed in the domain in their browser bar, they would have seen an Afternic lander. The person instead searched for the domain on Namecheap/Spaceship and bought it that way (aka. reg path), so they may never have even seen the lander.

Christopher Franko (@chrisjfranko) reported@Namecheap Oh ****... Nice! I thought I was tripping.

Tommy Thomas (@0xTommyThomas) reported@adahstwt I’ve been using Namecheap for a while now, generally good integrations with other apps which make it easy to use. Pork bun is pretty decent too Will never understand why godaddy is called godaddy lol Squarespace in my experience is the most annoying to deal with for domain management tbh
-
K S (@kj_kjato) reported@Namecheap Never once have you reached out to me properly to verify my claims you know how to find my contact information. I’ve already told you where it is not affiliated with that garbage. Please reach out and rectify the problem. I don’t want to call the police department again😡😡😡

Tung 🟠🔴 ⚔ (@Tng40234067) reportedImagine losing your online identity due to a registrar issue. This happens because centralized registrars like GoDaddy or Namecheap essentially rent domains to users, who have limited control over their ownership. If the registrar suspends, seizes, or loses the domain, the user is left with nothing. Doma Protocol solves this by tokenizing domains, allowing true ownership and transferability. * Tokenized domains are stored on-chain * Transferable without registrar involvement * Owners have full control over their assets This shift in domain ownership dynamics has significant implications for the future of online identities and assets. With a total network value of $27.52M and 48,421 wallets holding tokenized domains, the foundations of a new paradigm are being laid. A new era of digital ownership is unfolding. @domaprotocol @D3inc #Web3Domains

Pratik 📈 (@PratikSinhatwt) reportedClaude = 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) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20 There has never been a cheaper time to build.

Enjoyment Minister(SHINIGAMI🎮👩🚒) (@enjoymentmin) reported@dev_olayinka Im sure you had other cheaper options from the start. You know why you chose Namecheap. I will never use any other hosting server other than namecheap my bro.
-
Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reported@Namecheap the automatic billing system accepted the stellar hosting and declined the domain and refunded 22 usd to my account, after talking to the support i was told i was supposed to choose reactivation not renewal the money reflected today I was earger to pay for the domain
-
Milan (@milanm_) reported@levelsio @Cloudflare I don't like Namecheap neither (their DNS setup sometimes causes my browser to freeze). But so far all domain providers I tried were generally ****, so I kind of made peace with the fact that they all suck. Why is @Cloudflare different?
-
Tomodachi Life Updates (@TomoLifeUpdates) reported@Namecheap We'd appreciate it if your abuse team could take a look at tomodachilife[.]gg and tomoez[.]com (X has flagged both domains in posts already). We've received multiple reports from users who believed these sites were associated with an official web version/port of Nintendo's Tomodachi Life. The sites appear to be hosting a CAPTCHA scam disguised as an in-game Tomodachi Life menu, using Nintendo's branding and trademark in a way that may mislead users. A separate domain hosting the same scam, tomodachilife[.]cc, has already been taken down following reports. Could someone from your team review these domains and their operators or direct us to the appropriate reporting channel?

365 Day Founder (@365DayFounder) reportedDay 63/365 Headache of a day. Found out wix plays terribly with third parties. Went down a rabbit hole and ended up with a very tedious process to get away from wix. Learned that if you’re going to buy a domain, do it from namecheap unless you plan on using a wix-created site.
-
Hackology (@Hackology) reported@Namecheap VPS CP is now responsive, even that was not loading rest even namecheap site appears to off ... VPS etc all down , even the IP associated with it
-
Kekko D’Amato (@kekkodamato_) reported@TTrimoreau Cloudflare Registrar if your TLD is supported — at-cost pricing (literally no markup), best DNS control, DNSSEC built in, zero upsells. Namecheap otherwise. Free WhoisGuard, clean UI, rarely issues. GoDaddy is a trap — they charge 3x and count on you not noticing at renewal.
-
Longevity World Cup (@LongevityWorldC) reportedLongevity World Cup is temporarily unavailable due to a @Namecheap hosting network incident affecting hosted websites and accounts. We’re monitoring the situation and will be back online once connectivity is restored.
-
The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@GLAsk1d @Namecheap I shut it down for the night after I posted the thread. I'll get it up tomorrow. Ping me if you don't see me posting it before lunch.
-
Emad (@emad_maker) reported@ardent__dev I've been using Namecheap and had good experience. They offer competitive pricing and reliable service.
-
Hackology (@Hackology) reported@Namecheap Glad it's sorted ....imagine I spent 15 odd minutes figuring out what's wrong with my sites, never occurred to me it could be the host aswell - 😶

Polyvalent kaizen 🀄️ (@0xKachi) reportedIs namecheap hosting down? My websites won’t load

Jamie Madden (@dcwhatwhat) reportedI am down to 1 page of domains on my namecheap account, from 3 pages. AMA

Georgii Tselkovskii (@Existentios) reportedIt has never been cheaper to build a startup. Claude for coding — $20/mo Supabase for backend — free Vercel for deploys — free Namecheap for domain — $20/yr Stripe for payments — % only GitHub for version control — free Resend for emails — free Clerk for auth — free Cloudflare for DNS — free PostHog for analytics — free Sentry for error tracking — free Upstash for Redis — free Pinecone for vector DB — free You can literally launch with ~$20/month. The hard part is no longer building. The hard part is getting people to care.

Jyotiprakash Behera (@learnwidjp) reportedWorst experience with @GoDaddy support compared to other top domain registrars like @Namecheap and @Cloudflare. Reported serious fraud-related domains with evidence, but still no effective response or visible action on my complaints. Case IDs: DCU101299924 & DCU101300141.

Aaron Douglas (@astralbodies) reportedWaking up to @Namecheap being down is not how I wanted to finish off my weekend. I've never seen an outage like this before with them!
-
Mahdi Ezzeddine (@MahdiEzz_code) reportedMy domain has become too expensive I can't afford it (it wasn't that much when I bought it in 2023, it's getting expensive with each year) soo, I'm thinking of switching domains, and using cloudflare this time not namecheap but I'm gonna lose all my seo progress damn, idk what do you think guys?
-
Sergio (@sergionoodle) reported@FrancescoCiull4 How is Namecheap nowadays? I dropped them a while back as prices went up and quality down.

Legacy (@legacyunchain) reported@yfly58 Nice one. Boss I need help, I'm trying to set up a business mail. I bought a domain on namecheap, connected it to the Google workshop. I have been trying to activate the Gmail but the MX record I created on namecheap is not working and the activation is failing.
