Shant (@ShantDotMe) reported@Namecheap that security ticket is with bluehost, not you (thankfully). But 3.5hrs on chat to ID an IP is way too much. and that came after they reviewed the info I provided?? 🤯 I could easily rate this as the worse experience I had with your service!

kashyapkumbhani (@kashyap182000) reportedHey @Wix , transferred my domain from @namecheap. The domain already shows the default Wix page, but my Wix dashboard is still stuck on “Transfer in Progress.” I’ve emailed support but haven’t received a response. Please help.

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.

Insignificant Developer (@insigdev) reported@tomilola_ng Namecheap sucks though 😭 Namecheap VPS is just Hostinger in a different coat. Low initial cost, ridiculous renewal prices as well, and a predatory domain expiration pipeline that funnels your forgotten domains straight to their marketplace auctions.

Abu Fatimah.Dev (@Hameed_360) reported@Namecheap has never failed me

Ken 🧙 (@thekenndubisi) reportedHow to setup an online business doing $1k a day revenue in 30 days: Step 1: Register a business and get a biz bank account. If you’re in Canada, use Ownr. If you’re incorporating in the US, use LegalZoom or Bizee. Step 2: Setup a business email address with Namecheap, connect it to Gmail and sort out tax registration (GST/HST in Canada, EIN for the US) 3: Choose your niche, build your one person offer and price it for an easy yes. A rough example: “I help local gym owners get 10-20 new member leads using meta ads in 30 days or less for $500 a month” 4. Setup your ad account and launch your one-person ad. Rough example: “Attention Toronto gym owners, are your ads getting clicks but no members? Most gym ads fail because of xyz. I help gym owners get x qualified signups using this. Click to watch this 3 minute video showing how it works” 5. Send the traffic to a landing page with the VSL that has these 3 components: a headline mirroring the ad, a short video speaking about the problem, and a link to book a call. 6. Get on a call and ask these 4 questions: where’s your business right now? What have you tried so far? If we solved this like this, what would that look like for you? Here’s how we’ll solve this bottle neck….” and then present your offer. It’s not easy but it is simple; don’t over complicate it. Do this and get to $1k a day within 30 days. You want my help setting this up? Send a DM.

𝕂𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕤𝕒𝕣𝕘𝕖⚓☔👾🇺🇸 (@USS_Kearsarge_) reportedFYI I won't be able to talk on Matrix for a while, because namecheap seems to be down and doesn't want to update their DNS with my new ip address... I guess I will need to make a server on discord after all

Priyangu Patel (@patelpriyangu) reported@PratikSinhatwt Namecheap I use which is the best in pricing and support.

Alex @Bickov (@bickov) reported@justbyte_ Namecheap for the cheap first year, then transfer to Cloudflare. Cloudflare is at-cost with no markup, so renewals never jump, about $10.44 for a .com forever instead of ballooning year two. Only catch is you have to use their nameservers.

Mathias Onea (@mathiasonea) reported@13_narcissus tbh they're all over the place currently. Some are at Hostinger, some at namecheap, some at other German legacy service providers... need to consolidate but low prio

Andrew Warner (@AndrewWarner) reportedGoodbye SquareSpace. Finally! I've hated having my wife's site on Squarespace. Some consultant set her up with it and I never had the patience to move it. On Sunday I told Claude Code to copy her site to a free @Cloudflare acount. Then I told Claude's Chrome plugin to figure out how to tell NameCheap where to point the domain. So satisfying.

... (@irucsbo) reported.@Namecheap stole my funds and refuses to provide a real solution or proper support. Extremely disappointing experience with a company I trusted for years. Criminal organization. Avoid at all costs.

Andrea | Solo Tech Founder | Building In Public (@indieappstudio) reported@Addymiss08 namecheap (I actually bought a domain today to add to the list of domains I'll never use)
-
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.
-
Bogey Wilcox (@brasscogg) reportedUnverified conspiracy theory: GoDaddy holds all these inactive domains through a shell company so they can charge finders fees and commission to “find” the owner of the domain, themselves Namecheap would never stoop to such loser levels
-
Nas (@Nas_tech_AI) reportedYou can’t believe this: you spent more on coffee this month than on a startup’s infrastructure. If you’re still waiting for the “right moment” to build, this is it.

مركز مهارات الإبداع للتدريب (@cstcksa) reported@Namecheap Unfortunately, we have had an extremely poor experience with the current hosting provider. Despite multiple attempts to communicate through email and official support channels, we have received no response regarding our inquiries, technical support requests, or account management matters. The complete lack of communication and customer support has caused significant operational difficulties and has negatively affected the management of our website and educational platform. This level of service raises serious concerns about the provider's reliability, professionalism, and commitment to its contractual obligations. We respectfully request an immediate response to our pending requests and a prompt resolution of all outstanding issues. If the company is unable or unwilling to provide the required support, we request full cooperation in transferring the hosting account and related services to an alternative provider without further delay.
