    namecheap sucks

    @peterktodd @BtcpayServer @Namecheap I see two issues: 1. Proving to the payer that he is actually paying Namecheap. 2. Resolving a dispute if the payment is intercepted (because one party is compromised). (1) isn’t theoretically solvable; in practice there are "good enough" mitigations, like opening the same invoice on two different PCs and confirming the address matches. Realistically, I don’t expect customers to do that. (nor do I expect them to verify a signature on two computer for that matter) (2) is more tractable and only requires action if something goes wrong. I guess sending an email the payment address with a signature would be enough. Even if the payer doesn't check it, they both can pull the email later to see where did the compromise came from.

    @Namecheap Not waiting on NC support. They already responded and are not helpful. If @NamecheapCEO can't respond, I'll contact the CEO at Tucows.

    @Namecheap Already talking to support and they are saying I am wrong, but it is obvious that this is an issue and quite a bad practice. Name was won partner network for $15 plus $18.48 renewal, and was already renewed to May 2026, and the renewal needs to be 2027 or refund back $18.48

    @Shpigford @Namecheap Aws r53 or cloudflare. Ditched namecheap long ago. They had some security snafu where they got socially engineered pretty easily and didn’t manage that issue well imo

    @Shpigford @Namecheap Had the same issue. They pretend they can sell you the premium domain, then throw you in a limbo and just ignore you. I got lucky and solved the issue by finding that the domain was in auction by a competitor, then purchased it directly there. Feels almost like fraud tbh

    They responding with the below. I have checked the issue further. As a valued customer and in appreciation of your business with Namecheap, I will make an exception and provide a one-year renewal for your domain name. Exception?? It is what I was charged and paid for.
