  • BTCVlad Vlad (@BTCVlad) reported

    @DNand04934450 @eckhaus @DomainingCom NameCheap - "We do not lock or disable customer domains on a whim without the correct legal requirement.” means with the court order from India, they will. Let's see how this plays out.

  • charsboo Charles Kim (@charsboo) reported

    @Namecheap Can't change nameservers on any domain ("Whoops something went wrong"). Support ticket created Friday. It's now Sunday. It's urgent! Live chat agent says they can't change it and can't provide an approx. timeframe for a resolution. What???

  • tastymonkey Jacob (@tastymonkey) reported

    @Namecheap I already went over this with these support person. They have moved me over to billing because maybe billing can offer a solution. I tried it on Chromium Edge Firefox and Chrome. at least one of those browsers has never gone to y'all's site before and has no extensions installed.

  • Krunnie Krunnie (@Krunnie) reported

    @NicholasDev_ GoDaddy. I usually go with NameCheap but they were giving me issues the last time I was trying to set up the DNS records for someone.

  • Juicetimmy2 Timmy (@Juicetimmy2) reported

    anyone else ever have issues with namecheap not forwarding some emails ?

  • nkinson Neil Kinson (@nkinson) reported

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO I need your help in closing down a website you host that is fraudulent. I reported this on the 5th of Feb, no response. A fraud victim arrived at my home today using the address you illegally publish. Help me protect my family.

  • DeviceCoders Device Coders Inc. (@DeviceCoders) reported

    Another #inconvenience from the folks at @Namecheap - 2FA is OFF but guess what, you still have to do 2FA. Because of course the customer doesn't have the brain capacity to determine if 2FA is appropriate or not. Ugh. Every task with you people is extra.

  • sogonsec Chris Humphries 📟 (@sogonsec) reported

    @nfinzer @GoDaddy I migrated all my domains to @Namecheap and I love it. When you transfer they give you another year on your registration! Much easier interface and they don't try to sleazy upsell you and lock you in. Just quality service that is cheap :)

  • jackf723 jackjackjackjackjacjackjack (@jackf723) reported

    @BorrisInABox @Simon818 @Namecheap The shopping cart doesn't have a landmark or heading to indicate its presence, it simply exists below the last seaarch result. It's a simple fix that didn't warrant getting an overlay.

  • ezdraft Plausible Deniability (@ezdraft) reported

    @Namecheap what is wrong with your service? I can’t chat? My website is down, email verification is not working? Cheap is right!

  • Ashypaws Ashy 🚀 (@Ashypaws) reported

    @Namecheap This is...untrue. I'm not sure if this is an automated bot which has responded, but I am still on live support with your support team! Besides, anyone can read the other replies here. My intention was not to damage Namecheap's name here Merely gathering info about where its down

  • Ashypaws Ashy 🚀 (@Ashypaws) reported

    @Namecheap I'm doing so. Currently the resolution is that it cannot be fixed and it's going to be a case of a support ticket.

  • Mad1532 Mad153 (@Mad1532) reported

    @Namecheap is facilitating crime through their negligence and slow reactions to take down malicious sites. Sort it out

  • ahnlak A Leaf On The Wind 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@ahnlak) reported

    @adamcooke @Namecheap @publicbenefituk You were definitely on the shortlist (not least given your position in this Nominet trainwreck!) - I confess I was a little put off by how often "just contact support..." appeared in your FAQ, although rationally I accept that's mostly for stuff I should resist needing anyway!

  • meekeebee Mike (@meekeebee) reported

    @Namecheap Do you have a policy about fraudulent websites using your hosting and domain service? Identified a fake Cryptomining investment website using NameCheap to lure investors. DM for details

  • matt_odell ODELL (@matt_odell) reported

    @bennd77 godaddy sucks, use namecheap

  • withoutaplain Sin Vega (@withoutaplain) reported

    Hey @Namecheap is there a reason your staff are completely ignoring all of my emails and support tickets? I got the half a dozen spammy emails when I placed my order but since then they've apparently been content to do nothing. An explanation would be nice, for a start.

  • tastymonkey Jacob (@tastymonkey) reported

    @Namecheap I need help, yalls credit card option is broken and it won't provide a blank to put the number in. Support is saying I am supposed to put in the number in the card name and it won't work that way either. Tried with Chrome and Firefox.

  • ScrtyStyfn Stefan Aleksic (@ScrtyStyfn) reported

    Presumably all tied to the same threat actor. Hope Namecheap shuts them down!

  • BorrisInABox Patrick Perdue™ (@BorrisInABox) reported

    @Simon818 @jackf723 @Namecheap What is/was broken about it, anyway? It seems pretty OK with #AccessiBlock.

  • KatrinaSzu Katrina (@KatrinaSzu) reported

    Your service is shocking. I've requested a refund and don't want to use domain name anymore. But you refuse to refund money to my credit card. Please be a responsible company!!! Shame on you NameCheap. @Namecheap @NamecheapPR

  • shahfahadx4 Shah Fahad (@shahfahadx4) reported

    @Namecheap poor service 170$ is missing from my account so I just them they said we will reply you in next 2 hours and it almost more than 48 hours spent

  • megarush1024 ((( Amanda ))) (@megarush1024) reported

    @BorrisInABox Let me know who you end up going with. I'm going to hate this whole up-to-6-week registrar change thing but at this point I'm totally willing to do it unless Namecheap drops that damn overlay double-quick.

  • caseyloeber Casey Loeber 🚗 (@caseyloeber) reported

    @seanmarkey Been doing that slowly over the last year or so. Namecheap is always coming up with new stuff and customer service is great. Can’t say the same for Godaddy

  • MrFahadKhan Fahad Khan (@MrFahadKhan) reported

    Is #Namecheap down?

  • Simon818 Simon J (@Simon818) reported

    @BorrisInABox @jackf723 @Namecheap This is basically where I am. For me, the plugin doesn't even work because of ... whatever they've done to it. If you can't even bother testing your own implementation, go away. It genuinely would have been faster and cheaper to fix the site.

  • KatrinaSzu Katrina (@KatrinaSzu) reported

    @Namecheap I hope you can respond and help effectively, instead of repeatedly refusing a refund to my credit card
