    What's even happening to @Namecheap Customer support which use to be the best part of your services is no more, the chat sign at the bottom right keeps loading forever. I have been trying to buy some domain, noway. Keeps saying insufficient fund. Tried using PayPal yet

  • dlshadothman Dlshad (@dlshadothman) reported

    enough evidences to investigate the case, even @ICANN is aware of the incident and the damage it might cause, yet @Namecheap is not responding or cooperating at any level. I have never seen a careless company or customer support like this! You are in the DNS business this is your

  • Routine_Level Classic Ӿ (@Routine_Level) reported

    @Namecheap Hi, I been using your service for a while, noticed you are accepting cryptocurrencies. But missing the #1 crypto for payments called #Nano $XNO... Please list it! Let us fund account with feeless & instant coin. #acceptnano!

  • _AdeleBuck Adele Buck (@_AdeleBuck) reported

    @Namecheap This was a conversation that should have taken 10-30 minutes. But the support person went to "look into" things and would come back with no specifics - just links to help articles. I'm a librarian. I can google just fine. What I needed was specific support.

  • ciorici Pavel Ciorici (@ciorici) reported

    In the end, I closed that G Suite account and instead used the email service provided by the domain registrant (Namecheap). I also closed my Mailchimp account and migrated to a different provider because it was unacceptable to suspend an account and stop all running automations.

  • MT7JPJack Jack Perry (@MT7JPJack) reported

    @malwrhunterteam @Namecheap is the host, again. Very poor choice.

  • _AdeleBuck Adele Buck (@_AdeleBuck) reported

    @Namecheap I've already got my SSL from Sectigo. The issue was NOT THAT. THE ISSUE WAS IT TOOK 2.5 HOURS FOR ME TO GET THE INFORMATION I NEEDED TO UPDATE MY CPANEL.

    @Namecheap @gr0kch8n worked great! big +1 for using @BtcpayServer ! i would strongly encourage you to support bitcoin payments over lightning (which can also be done with btcpay)

  • bugfishbugfish fck twdder (@bugfishbugfish) reported

    @Namecheap Here’s an idea: do something about the scammers behind this phone number: +354.4212434. Google it to see the hundreds/thousands of complaints about scams linked to YOUR service.

  • rubyhinchliffe Ruby Hinchliffe (@rubyhinchliffe) reported

    @Namecheap @MarkTaber_FII @thenutmegteam Could you confirm when, or if, Nutmeg contacted you about this URL? And if so, why it took so long to take down?

    @Namecheap Phishing, Malware, Scams, SMS Spam. All coming from an outfit using your service. Registrant phone is +354.4212434. Been going on for a year. Do something.

  • emily_wk Emily (@emily_wk) reported

    @namecheap My last name has a hyphen in it and your payment system tells me that it’s invalid, forcing me to put INCORRECT INFO in. Gross. Fix it.

    @Namecheap To be clear, it is my legal name and it is the name on my credit card. You are forcing me to enter incorrect information for my billing information. Frankly, the error message is rude as well. My last name is not invalid. Your system is.

  • edulapmx ayudig (@edulapmx) reported

    @Namecheap uix sucks, worst website domains ever,

  • horstmannmatt horstmann (@horstmannmatt) reported

  • JackNotOld jack! (@JackNotOld) reported

    @Namecheap @0xSharp So $70 a year? That’s not bad

  • PaulPoulsen Paul Poulsen (@PaulPoulsen) reported

    @Namecheap Is there an ETA on the return of live chat support? The support staff is super supportive via email but 6+ hours for a response makes troubleshooting impossible.

  • rubyhinchliffe Ruby Hinchliffe (@rubyhinchliffe) reported

    Update: Nutmeg emailed Namecheap at 17:55 on 10 Jan to take the URL down (have seen the email). Namecheap took the clone site down after midday today

  • _AdeleBuck Adele Buck (@_AdeleBuck) reported

    Ye GODS, @Namecheap - your customer support used to be decent. Now I'm getting someone who doesn't seem to know anything except how to provide me with articles I've already read. FOR TWO BLOODY HOURS.

  • micham micham (@micham) reported

    @MischaProjects Well, this Iceland WHOIS data is namecheap's "privacy protection" service. Maybe you could reach out to their abuse desk.

  • theAgboolawale Olawale Agboola | OLEA (@theAgboolawale) reported

    @Namecheap Yes I can't seem to figure my way around it. I sent you a dm already where I stated the exactly issue I want to resolve. Kindly check. Thanks

  • veroicone Veronica Mars (@veroicone) reported

    Name has been registered! My host was able to do it for me (I love Namecheap), but said it may take up to 5 days because there was a little issue. But should hear something next week. This means I can do some designing until then :)

  • cleatsandcode James 👉🏻 😷 (@cleatsandcode) reported

    Cheers to all who recommended namecheap for domains. Tried to update Whois info on @tsohost but I can’t as there isn’t a ‘I agree’ field which is mandatory. Support recommend trying a diff browser. Tried chrome and ff. if that doesn’t work then it’s their ****** ui. Clear winner.
