Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Shawn (@shawn_dot_so) reported@elgermerlo @GoDaddy @Cloudflare GoDaddy isn’t even a consideration for me.. it’s Cloudflare first place or namecheap for TLDs that Cloudflare doesn’t support yet
-
LawsOfRobots (@LawsOfRobots) reportedI am the owner of Azure subscription and tenant. After moving my verified domain from GoDaddy to NameCheap, I am now completely locked out of this subscription and tenant. I cannot log in or access any resources. I no longer need this subscription or any of its resources (already replaced) . I would like to permanently cancel and delete the entire subscription (including all associated resources, databases, Key Vaults, etc.) to close this account cleanly. @AzureSupport
-
Nemo (@captn3m0) reportedSo found an email from namecheap from last week. Single email with a boring subject: "Reminder: Update your .IN contact details". But went through my invoices, and I've never bought whois guard for a .in domain. Namecheap doesn't let you afaik.
-
WOLF ✨️ (@Bilal_abbasid) reported@Namecheap Reply to the ******* mails you pathetic customer support clowns
-
based64 (@based64_eth) reported@faa0311 Whatever you do stay away from @Namecheap. Once they had an issue with SMS OTP and users were locked out for months with no recourse.

Pratik 📈 (@PratikSinhatwt) reportedClaude = coding. ($20/mo) Supabase = backend. (Free) Vercel = deploying. (Free) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) Stripe = payments. (2.9%/transaction) GitHub = version control. (Free) Resend = emails. (Free) Clerk = auth. (Free) Cloudflare = DNS. (Free) PostHog = analytics. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20 There has never been a cheaper time to build.
-
K S (@kj_kjato) reported@Namecheap I just wanted to let you guys know that I’ve contacted my local law-enforcement to stop some websites that you’re hosting from scamming any further. I’ve asked repeatedly fake the domain down and you refuse now I’m pursuing legal action.😡😡😡😡
-
Georgii Tselkovskii (@Existentios) reportedIt has never been cheaper to build a startup. Claude for coding — $20/mo Supabase for backend — free Vercel for deploys — free Namecheap for domain — $20/yr Stripe for payments — % only GitHub for version control — free Resend for emails — free Clerk for auth — free Cloudflare for DNS — free PostHog for analytics — free Sentry for error tracking — free Upstash for Redis — free Pinecone for vector DB — free You can literally launch with ~$20/month. The hard part is no longer building. The hard part is getting people to care.

Qamar Issa (@QamarIssaqf) reported@0xPurchase @sidomains @NamePros How to buy in less 25$ Which platform bro to invest I search namecheap spaceship not support this
-
Steve Bailey (@stevebaileyseo) reportedThe most powerful thing a platform can do is make you feel like you don't need your guard up. Namecheap does that. Not by promising the world. By just... not being awful.
-
David Maigari (@maigari_david) reported@Aditya_181105 Namecheap is a good one. Great customer support, too.
-
Enjoyment Minister(SHINIGAMI🎮👩🚒) (@enjoymentmin) reported@dev_olayinka Im sure you had other cheaper options from the start. You know why you chose Namecheap. I will never use any other hosting server other than namecheap my bro.
-
Aaron (@aarons_takes) reported@MustaAras I think it comes down to normie's perceptions of Namecheap/Spaceship registrars vs GoDaddy. Very much IMHO.
-
DeepCantCode (@DeepCantCode) reportedGuys, I genuinely need help 😭 I need to buy a domain. Is Namecheap really worth it? The renewal prices are kinda high… and Porkbun feels the same. Any better domain registrar with low renewal prices and overall cheaper costs? I'm broke 💀
-
timagixe (@timagixe) reportedi remember the first time I bought domain on NameCheap the first thing I did in 10 minutes - transferred domain to CloudFlare luckily to me it was .com - so no issues with that
-
Priyangu Patel (@patelpriyangu) reported@PratikSinhatwt Namecheap I use which is the best in pricing and support.
-
Sarthak Shaurya (@alwaysSarthak) reported@nalinrajput23 I have tried namecheap and GoDaddy both but I never understood what is the difference between buying it from each
-
ChiseledCactus | Analyst (@chiseledcactus) reported@deanelazab @YayJayBae Hello! If it helps, it looks like it's running via cloudflare servers, and registered via "Namecheap". It still lists "Mediadroid LTD UK", with a "Jonathan hassall, but was dissolved a while back, so this is all sorts of shady. I imagine twitch and YouTube wouldn't be too happy with them continuously scraping content and causing issues, yeah? But is that even an option to try and rally to them?
-
Dr. Simon Taki Zaku, D.B.A (@realsimonzaku_) reportedWhat tools do I need to start? You usually need a domain, hosting, professional website, clear service pages, founder profile, testimonials, analytics, business email, payment route, content plan, and strong WhatsApp or contact funnel. Tools like Namecheap, DreamHost, Hostinger, Geegpay, ClickMeeting, and CartFlows can support the system when used with a clear strategy.
-
... (@irucsbo) reported.@Namecheap stole my funds and refuses to provide a real solution or proper support. Extremely disappointing experience with a company I trusted for years. Criminal organization. Avoid at all costs.
-
Hackology (@Hackology) reportedNamecheap is facing some issues or their hosted sites are down ? @Namecheap
-
DomainHero (@mynamehack) reported@dynatodd @Namecheap @namecheapceo123 but don't know still they abuse to customer or investors community after VC takeover..
-
Resolver Vicky | Dev 🔧 (@resolvervicky) reportedCloudflare Registrar sells domains at cost and they make zero profit on domain registration. It's a loss leader to get you on their platform. That's why the renewal price never spikes. Namecheap's first-year discount is a customer acquisition trick; the real price is the renewal. Agree?
-
Sahil Jaiswal (@Sahil_Jaiswal02) reportedGodaddy is a **** I should have gone with hostinger or namecheap My site is down after 2 days of getting it …even after successfull verification 😤 No support, no person available… poor service @GoDaddy
-
Baber Rizvi (@BaberRizvi) reported@NamecheapCEO namecheap support on live chat keep asking for money just to reboot the server which is already down and they can't explain why it's down. We paid for reboot and server is still down now they are asking more money. This is insane. We are already paying for subscription and suffering business loss and they can't even tell us why our server is down for over 2 days now. Server down means all our websites are down and we can't run business. Need HELP
-
allmylife (@bhabhiezayn) reported@namesilo @Namecheap NameSilo dead rate is 60%+ for fresh domains (0-6mo) — domains are born dead. Namecheap fresh domains are 25% dead (normal setup delay). This means NameSilo domains were never intended to be used.
-
Phil (@0xPhilH) reported@milanm_ @levelsio @Cloudflare To add here, since CFs offices are in France, they overcomply with every bs EU request, even if you host a service that is US only. They won't do that for the content part, so namecheap registar + CF dns + CF CDN is actually best of both worlds combo.
-
K S (@kj_kjato) reported@Namecheap Never once have you reached out to me properly to verify my claims you know how to find my contact information. I’ve already told you where it is not affiliated with that garbage. Please reach out and rectify the problem. I don’t want to call the police department again😡😡😡
-
jaseeey (@jaseeey) reported@Codebender_Cate Noooooo! The GoDaddy control panel is terrible and slow. I have a few domains there because Namecheap doesn't support all of the TLDs that I use. However, I'm certainly not disagreeing with the prices, it feels like the recent increases have been quite steep...
