Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Guillem_GH Guillem Castells (@Guillem_GH) reported

    @AdityaShips I do not recommend go daddy. Use namecheap or any other ones. Bad experience with it.

  • TrunkFuture Andie Nguyen (@TrunkFuture) reported

    @trikcode I've switched to Namecheap and never looked back. Better pricing, free WHOIS privacy, and their interface doesn't constantly upsell you.

  • signlr siggy (@signlr) reported

    When you buy a premium domain from @Namecheap and it's with another registrar and you'll get it *maybe* in a week or 2, or not and they'll just cancel it. 🥲🥲🫠

  • kshitijkoranne Kshitij Koranne (@kshitijkoranne) reported

    @AdityaShips Please dont use godaddy. use Namecheap. very very good service. purchased 4+ domains. Never had any problems.

  • nelsontjordan Nelson (@nelsontjordan) reported

    Random things I learned today: - Namecheap doesn't use CNAME, instead it's an ALIAS record - Vercel is really cool, but hard to navigate as a newbie without AI help - I drink a tonne of water when I'm walking on my treadmill 🥵

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    @Namecheap @SecurityNow Steve can you please help me with this issue? Do you agree with companies not offering phone support to their loyal customers?

  • jit_sark26 Jude Sarkar (@jit_sark26) reported

    @buddy7 @GoDaddy @Namecheap Godaddy customer support is horrible, they say things like "I hope the issue is resolved dear" They really need to train their customer support team

  • andrebuilds Andrea D'Ambrosio (@andrebuilds) reported

    @trikcode Switched to Namecheap years ago, never looked back 🎯 - Clean interface - No upsell spam - Decent prices - Free WhoisGuard Used them for all SkyClouds/TuBoost domains. GoDaddy feels like digital car dealership - too much hassle for basic service 💸

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    @Namecheap Your phone number is not working for this line which is a direct violation of ICANN.

  • 0xFar3000 流动状态 (@0xFar3000) reported

    ovh is a ******* pain in the ***, configuring for 2h some dns records on it and for some reason i failed ONE single thing now I can't edit what I did or remove it, I don't even find the support and the only thing i found was how to upgrade their useless support plan, namecheap + hostinger was better lmao I don't recommend this garbage

  • MichaelSwengel Michael Swengel (@MichaelSwengel) reported

    @open__video And why would we need your service for that? I could just buy a domain name from Namecheap, GoDaddy, Siteground, or any of a thousand others, and point it to the channel.

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    Namecheap is exploiting a .ai loophole: 🔸 Promotes domains at $2.99 🔸 But renewals are actually $185.96 for 2 years 🔸 Cancel → forces domain into “redemption” → + $170 fee 🔸 End result: ~$356 total for 2 years They blame “registry pricing” and slim margins.

  • TickerInvest0 TickerInvest (@TickerInvest0) reported

    @trikcode Never use GoDaddy. It's worst website. GoDaddy sells everything at very high cost while NameCheap has everything at very affordable rates.

  • renxzen Renx (@renxzen) reported

    @trikcode @Namecheap **** godaddy bro

  • Jilles Jilles Soeters (@Jilles) reported

    @denitechdev @trikcode Long time namecheap user, recently switched to Cloudflare because I use them for all my DNS anyway. Never looking back

  • LokiLabsHQ LokiLabs (@LokiLabsHQ) reported

    @trikcode I am using NameCheap. never disappointed

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    @Namecheap I just emailed you the Support pin. And yes, you are forcing my hand. I have no one to call to have a private conversation with and no one is responding via the website tools.

  • noctibyte Noctibyte (@noctibyte) reported

    Namecheap is nice and simple. Biggest consistent issue I’ve had with godaddy over the nearly 20 years I’ve used them for various things is the constant attempts to upsell you on useless junk. Otherwise they aren’t as bad as everyone claims. Also, trying to make you buy SSL certificates..

  • NameCrabCom NameCrab | Chat.CX (@NameCrabCom) reported

    @dynatodd it's @Namecheap, after talking to the support they activate that status for the domain.

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    @Namecheap Of course you don’t offer phone support. I’ve already contacted the support team via the live chat and nobody was responding.

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    @Namecheap There’s no security lapse with me, simply requesting a refund. I’ve tried to reach out to the live channel. I’ve sent an email. Nobody is responding. Please issue a refund immediately for the funds that you stole from me.

  • SystemDesignDev Daniel Kim (@SystemDesignDev) reported

    @trikcode Been using Namecheap, no problem at all. Was thinking of trying cloudflare

  • terrance_nunn Terry Nunn (@terrance_nunn) reported

    @Namecheap What kind of reputable business doesn’t offer phone support? I am so tired of these Internet companies not offering a single phone number for us as loyal customers to reach out to.

  • signlr siggy (@signlr) reported

    @Namecheap Really didn't expect a reply to this ngl. Some feedback - keep the customer informed on what the status of the transfer is without us having to contact support every day. If we're giving you $$$$, then that should be a minimum imo. I have 50+ domains with you. Cheers

  • yashasvigirdhar Yashasvi (@yashasvigirdhar) reported

    @AdityaShips I don't think you need it. Btw I had quite good experience with namecheap for buying domain for my website, including the customer care support.

  • elielson_and elielson (@elielson_and) reported

    @trikcode i use hostinger/namecheap and have never had any problems, so far
