-
Brand (@Brandslewaa) reportedThis raises serious questions about customer privacy, access controls, and internal security practices. I believe Namecheap should investigate this incident and provide a clear explanation of what happened and why those commands were executed.

Mr. Fartzilla (@mrfartzilla) reportedIs anyone else experiencing this today with WordPress? Several of my websites are working normally on the front end, but /wp-admin and /wp-login.php are returning a 500 Internal Server Error. They’re all hosted with Namecheap. Anyone else seeing the same issue today?

Melanie S Reed (@MelanieSReed) reportedAlso, NameCheap appears to have restored all service at this point. The "significant outage" was due to a cooling system failure at the RadiusDC: Phoenix data center. Ah, those data centers...again.

amar (@liftplaycode) reported@viveksb007 Namecheap If by conversion you mean tricking the customer to pay more then it probably works

Mildlysupreme (@mildlysupreme) reported@Namecheap @Cloudflare unfortunately namecheap's web app is so ridiculously slow on top of the price hikes.. this is going to take a while
-
Paras Sharma (@ParasSharma_23) reportedAlmost broke down while talking to namecheap support as I was trying to return a domain that I had bought for a project and it was not getting traffic, well **** it, we ball, not returning it, I’ll keep building even if I don’t get a single user.
-
Shawn McAllister (@eas4ai) reported@Namecheap has lost my business. Today was the last straw. I will never buy another domain from you scammy ************* in life. You add “premium domain” tax and gatekeep customers. I even got a capital letter “BANNED” for a domain I searched and then I just bought it through @Cloudflare for $11. After the BANNED thing, I searched another domain and it said “Premium Domain” and was priced at $100,000… I also bought that domain at Cloudflare for $11. That was the last straw. I’ve been a Namecheap customer for over 20 years. I am DONE. I’ll be transferring all of my domains to Cloudflare this week.
-
Ahsan Parwez (@AhsanParwez) reported@codewith55 none, both have become worse, NameCheap had the worst downtime some time ago that proved they don't have redundancy plan if entire datacenter goes down.
-
SolPay (@SolPayCash) reported5/ This launch was delayed a bit by the recent Namecheap DNS outage, but we’re moving again. This week we’ll publish a video demo from inside SolPay Sandbox showing the Commerce Graph in action. 2,000+ products is just the starting dataset.
-
The Sentinel (@J3SS3777) reportedThat Namecheap outage? Total gift 🎁 Seriously, it made me realize with all this constant AI watching over my network, I don't even need those clunky old tools like Snort anymore. 💪 Time to upgrade! 🚀 #AIVision #Cybersecurity #FutureIsNow
-
Mila Chervenkova 🍩 (@MilaChervenkova) reported@2whazzuup Transfer them to NameCheap. I used to be with GoDaddy and never again.
-
Amanda Nevill (@NevillAmanda) reported@Gun4aaaz @Namecheap I have been told the new private email doesn’t YET work for tablets and other..I have the same problem working from an iPad Pro. Can’t get any answer as to when it will be fixed or even IF IT WILL BE FIXED
-
Joseph Miclaus (@josephmiclaus) reportedCan anyone beat my ~€10/mo hosting (~€120/year)? → 10 domains included btw. At €12.89 (Namecheap retail price) per .com/year I would already exceed the hosting plan (€128.9/year) just for domain costs. For Laravel I have PHP/Composer, DB, cron, limited SSH and custom domains. What I'm missing is native Go support. It only supports CGI. No process manager. No reverse proxy. Do you know a good/better hosting setup for Laravel, Go or both at roughly this price?
-
Kevin Guaman (@KCG3D) reportedi genuinely did not get the "hype" for this AI assistant called Instinct. if you have Codex or Claude, you can technically do everything it does. BUT, the problem is you need to download an app to your machine, make sure you got data/wi-fi, ask Computer Use to get it done, etc. Instinct just turned off auto renewal in Namecheap for a website for me. my first WOW moment was that it has it's own Vault, asked me for my password (like 1Password) and just got **** done for me. i don't know if i fully trust it yet, but it got it done over iMessage, accurately, in less than a minute, and sent a screenshot.
