  • autoerraticism Emma K. Leadley (@autoerraticism) reported

    @Itisgrave @Namecheap Never been my experience in over a decade, so until it happens to me personally, I'll leave that one be. I've been timed out but that's been my fault, not theirs.

  • WebMngr Kawsar Ali (@WebMngr) reported

    @Namecheap @GuyAHaines I still have issues...it's not resolved?

  • autoerraticism Emma K. Leadley (@autoerraticism) reported

    @Namecheap I've resolved it by removing the damn plugin that you installed without notifying me. Besides, I can't use your livechat for one of my client's accounts because you'll need their PIN and they are on holiday so I can't access it. @NamecheapCEO

  • HFTUYONMARS BRAD'S on mars (@HFTUYONMARS) reported

    @Namecheap help my website won't load and easywp wont load the login page

  • g_silverfox Silverfox 'G-Dog' (@g_silverfox) reported

    @Namecheap It seems it was to do with the issues with shared hosting. I think it has been resolved now but will contact support if it occurs again. Thanks.

  • JonDoble Jon Doble (@JonDoble) reported

    NameCheap needs a feature when you search for a domain that's like, "You idiot, YOU own this domain."

  • TravisPflanz Travis Pflanz (@TravisPflanz) reported

    @Namecheap, why even have live chat support on your website if they can't do anything? Sreelakshmi Angelraj is telling me they cannot help me via chat, even though I've received support via Twitter. This is asinine.

  • global_IPaction global IP action AG (@global_IPaction) reported

    @Namecheap Still tickets from April in Support system, even though there's phishing domains hosted and registered via Namecheap! Is Namecheap supporting fraudsters?

  • g_silverfox Silverfox 'G-Dog' (@g_silverfox) reported

    @Namecheap Well these issues need to stop! You need to employ more people or better technical people then do it! You cannot keep expecting customers to have to accept these issues constantly!

  • autoerraticism Emma K. Leadley (@autoerraticism) reported

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO Shared access is for domains only, not hosting so other than setting DNS does not help me witj this issue. Sharing access to hosting, as long as this would allow me to make enquiries with my own and not the client's pin, would also work whilst retaining security.

  • DanPierson Dan Pierson (@DanPierson) reported from Coatepec, Estado de Veracruz-Llave

    I’ll hire someone for $50 to help me design and put up a simple splash page, connect NameCheap, etc. Right now :)

  • VValkyriePub Nicole 🏳️‍⚧️ on Arknights Brainrot (@VValkyriePub) reported

    @Namecheap Hey Guys. I'm trying to manage my wordpress site here but I'm getting multiple issues with plugins spitting out cURL error 28 saying "connection timed out" on top of the server being slow to respond. Is this related to the shared hosting issues you are having?

  • trnelson Travis Nelson 💻☕️🔥 (@trnelson) reported

    @DerickFlorian I personally like NameCheap for domain registration but there are many. @thewmh has a great suggestion below using aliases and I’ve done this a lot using GMail. Most registrars will support forwarding/aliases.

  • Benitez2Ines ines benitez (@Benitez2Ines) reported

    @WebMngr @Namecheap @GuyAHaines The problem returned all the servers have returned to be without access

  • malwrhunterteam MalwareHunterTeam (@malwrhunterteam) reported

    @JCyberSec_ @Namecheap Down already...

  • IanKoHoman1 IanKoHoman (@IanKoHoman1) reported

    @TMobile It appears this mornings trouble relates to it looks like my issue actually relates to them blocking port 22 and port 21 - if you use wordpress and even use @Namecheap then it appears I must these 2 ports must be open to do website stuff. This falls under T-Mobile

  • Itisgrave It's Grave (@Itisgrave) reported

    @Namecheap @shep @Namecheap , issues are not resolved.

  • g_silverfox Silverfox 'G-Dog' (@g_silverfox) reported

    @Namecheap No, my point is these issues shouldn't be happening in the first place. They seem to be similar each time and quite constant too. It's not good enough really. Customers deserve better.

  • flakealso neal rice (@flakealso) reported

    @jdl_art been having this issue with namecheap a lot lately so i stopped using my direct cpanel login and just do the SSO

  • Namecheap Namecheap.com (@Namecheap) reported

    @southwestseo 5) With Namecheap Private Email all regular email service features are available as well. However, with the Namecheap Private Email you can also setup Exchange accounts to synchronize appointments, tasks, calendar and email folders between your Namecheap Private Email account

  • GrandioID Enzo Grandio—GR&IO© (@GrandioID) reported

    @semplicelabs The first issue I encounter is that when I try to install WordPress, I have to use a program called cPanel. However, my domain host (Namecheap) doesn't connect to it, and cPanel's UI is totally different than what Namecheap says it to be, which limits me extremely.

  • MrKarlGoddard Karl Goddard (@MrKarlGoddard) reported

    @Namecheap shocking support from you guys... opened a ticket with your Threat Management team 6 days ago - no reply. Spoke to your 1st line team to chase up, they advised me to.... open a ticket with the Threat Management team.

  • trnelson Travis Nelson 💻☕️🔥 (@trnelson) reported

    @DerickFlorian @thewmh Ahh okay, namecheap offers a ton of TLDs, but regional can be harder to find. Unfortunately they don’t support .nz 😑

  • Mungwachie Tamasang (@Mungwachie) reported

    @africatechie @HostAmNow @francfons Site literally says “Pass Scam”damn. Email abuse.namecheap

  • DamOrganized DAM Organized (@DamOrganized) reported

    @Namecheap ... fairly new customer here. With your outages today, I can't get any email, forwarding is not working so of course this means when I try to use other services I cannot confirm verifications. When will your server issues be fixed? I'm thinking I chose the wrong host

  • Benitez2Ines ines benitez (@Benitez2Ines) reported

    @Namecheap Good afternoon again I have the problem with the server the same problem this morning with all my servers

  • uchiuchibeke Uchi Uchibeke (@uchiuchibeke) reported

    @STEMgirll Isn’t this the same as Namecheap, Cloudflare and others hosting websites on their name servers? How’s this different? If a customer uses them for a bad purpose, should we falsely blame or accuse the host?

  • MilaChervenkova мιla 🍩 (@MilaChervenkova) reported

    @shep @Namecheap Same problem with the VPS servers.

  • autoerraticism Emma K. Leadley (@autoerraticism) reported

    @Itisgrave @Namecheap I'm a web dev by day & have been w/ them 10+ yrs. As has my husband, from before we met. Other than this & a daft policy about PINs to answer *any* query, making my job as a dev near impossible at times, I've never had cause to use or recommend anyone else. @NamecheapCEO

  • semplicelabs Semplice™ (@semplicelabs) reported

    @GrandioID Ah ok. It sounds like the issue is with Namecheap then, no? Are you open to switching hosts?
