    @jacksimone78 Yeah Namecheap I host with DigitalOcean Droplets, it's support is good and also it seems cost effective

    @Namecheap Almost a day 'fighting' with your tech team about port 80 blocked (VPS). Proof: fresh installs, external tests, logs — packets time out externally on :80 while :8080 works! Your team just points back at me. Can someone from your network/infra team really look at this?

    @Namecheap unable to solve CDN and slow site problems for over two days!

    @BacLeodiv i always buy from namecheap. i like their ui and service. btw, lets also connect.

  • MattReinholz
    Matthias Reinholz (@MattReinholz) reported

    Interesting side-fact: they say the issue was about DNSSEC. However, in contrast to .com, @Namecheap doesn't let me configure DNSSEC for .de domains (not because of the current issue but generally). @grok does DENIC use a different layer/method of DNSSEC that doesn't allow configuring it on the registry level?

    @Namecheap VPS CP is now responsive, even that was not loading rest even namecheap site appears to off ... VPS etc all down , even the IP associated with it

    @rmastiyev @Namecheap 8080 works, 80 times out, fresh installs logged - "back to the same ticket" is not a network review.

    @adahstwt Namecheap for years then switched to Cloudflare and never looked back. no markup, no upsells, no drama 🫶

    @Dynadot @Namecheap Eh. Gotta be a better way. Everyone trying to hang on to their customers. Taking them hostage. Maybe I’ll build a tool that does it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • TheTrunkTales

    @RealTripleA I know exactly what happened. I cc'd the "host" and they took it down to prevent Namecheap from seeing it. Won't give them the heads up next time.

    Which domain-based email service is best right now ? - Namecheap - GoDaddy - Google

  • candland
    Dusty Candland (@candland) reported

    @austinginder That's a crazy one! I've seen a number of bad things on GoDaddy as well. Generally try to get clients to move to PorkBun or NameCheap... I'll even help them for free!

  • AdamHoltererer

    @gauravsapkotanp Definitely not Namecheap, because @theo said they were bad and scammy.

    @Namecheap @TeamDreier Pls what is going on with namecheap hosting ? My hosting has not been working since yesterday….. fix it pls

  • John_ACW
    John van Rijck (@John_ACW) reported

    Does @Namecheap pay their support team based on the amount of minutes they're in an active chat or what? Every support chat opens with: "Please allow me 10-12 minutes to check" Terrible support

  • irucsbo

    .@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.

    @adahstwt I’ve been using Namecheap for a while now, generally good integrations with other apps which make it easy to use. Pork bun is pretty decent too Will never understand why godaddy is called godaddy lol Squarespace in my experience is the most annoying to deal with for domain management tbh

  • RealLight47
    Favour Light (@RealLight47) reported

    @Namecheap has probably the worst customer support I've ever had to deal with. I've been locked out of my account and haven't gotten a single reply to any of the emails I've sent.

  • akinyinkemmauel
    Akinyinka-Emmanuel (@akinyinkemmauel) reported

    I didn’t get paid for this. But @Namecheap customer service is one of the best I’ve experienced. Every time I ran into issues, they showed up immediately. That’s what people forget: Your value isn’t what you say. It’s what customers consistently experience.

  • DeepCantCode
    DeepCantCode (@DeepCantCode) reported

    Guys, 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 💀

    @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.

    Why @Namecheap Live Support need always 5-10 minutes before speak with you ?

  • felix_guo_daxia
    Felix Guo (@felix_guo_daxia) reported

    @itsaaroshi Fr, straight honest answer: Cloudflare for DNS, management, and zero sketchy upsells.Porkbun & Cloudflare all the way.Porkbun for cheap, clean domain pricing + free privacy. Namecheap mid, Dynadot solid but UI clunky.Never touch GoDaddy (scammy upsells, overpriced). No cringe hidden fees, no forced add-ons, just simple domains.

    @baxiabhishek @Namecheap Name cheap is just that ! Cheap !! I’ve had a similar experience a year ago, and I never went back to them. Buy domains elsewhere and pay a wee bit more for peace of mind

    @the_smart_ape Tbh I have nothing to do with it. There are no clear alternatives for gmail. Every other email registrar could fall as well so no point into thinking that switching from google is gonna save you for sure. Namecheap can go down, microsoft as well and every other ******* email registrar.

    Shipping SnappyName v2 this week It's a terrible business idea. I know > Saturated category. Every major registrar has a domain names generator > Most are free > The main keyword "domain name generator" is locked by GoDaddy, Namecheap, Shopify, Hostinger, etc > Domain buying is impulsive. Decisions happen in seconds > Naming is emotional, not rational. The heart picks, not the spreadsheet that tells you what to buy > The average buyer registers 1-2 domains a year. No recurrence, no LTV > The good .coms are gone. Result quality degrades structurally every year So why am I shipping it anyway? 1/ All existing domain name generators are rotten... I think everyone agrees with me on this! 2/ It can still make $200-500/month. Not life-changing. But a real, if modest, cash stream 3/ It's a sellable asset. Even at $300/month, that's a $3-4K exit 4/ This is my first SaaS that I developed 100% on my own and bootstrapped. No more fundraising of hundreds K€ and a technical team of 10 devs behind me. That's the most important thing, I'm very proud of what I've built myself 💪 So, I ship v2 this week and we'll see what happens!

    @Namecheap What did you find? based on the hundreds of domains it creates weekly on your service.

    @levelsio Yeah moving all my domains to Cloudflare too. Namecheap ui and price sucks now .

    @Namecheap I have a problem with you and the technical support is not helping me!! My domain I want to put it up for sale but through auction but the platform doesn't even allow it even they don't provide the simplest info about the platform/partner that can be used as a broker!
