    @Namecheap Thanks but the name is in auction with 7 bidders. Too late. The issue is in general with the business arrangement between houses and partners. A partner must not be allowed to retract a domain once an auction ends with bids. That clause is conveniently missing from the contract.

    @Namecheap @ICANN I already contacted you several times. Especially, I sent you on 09 October 2025, a last email: Motive Worldwide Ltd's Formal Notice and Demand for Immediate Remedial Action and Compensation. However, your service remains until present unresponsive to this last.

    @glosseantics Holy **** I gotta do that. The first time I failed to link up a namecheap domain of my own to cloudflare pages, and couldn't diagnose the problem, but I should try again

    Is there still no good product around finding the closest domain names to my interest with LLMs? I love NameCheap but their domain finder sucks

    When cloudfare was down, i thought of switching dns, but @Namecheap was also using cloudfare, so I couldn't access the namecheap also. This shouldn't be the case Namecheap! Else we are all just stuck and can't even change our DNS.

    Im using supabase for my app and trying to user a smtp server to send otp emails to login I can’t make it work Bought a domain and mailbox on namecheap Free plan on serverSMTP connected all togheter If I use my email from namecheap doesn’t work I’m crying

    @Namecheap @ICANN You already asked me the same question: no more engagement ID provided...this further demonstrating Namecheap malpractice. You have check or find the emails internally with probably Namecheap support team.

    @NamecheapCEO @mikemanndotcom I'm gonna follow you to see what else you're up to, and yes I'm still a fan of Namecheap's services even though they seem slow and overpriced. It's convenient enough to manage.

    @rainraingoaw Hi! Domain Privacy on Namecheap is a Whois protection service provided by the Withheld for Privacy company. It prevents people from seeing your name, address, phone number, and email when they do a Whois search on your domain. It puts its address information to the public Whois instead of yours to protect you from potential spam and even identity theft. But please note that there are exceptions for domain TLDs to which privacy protection does not apply due to registry restrictions.
