    @sidenoun @Namecheap hmm nice! 4.99 isn't bad, but man 1.78 was 🤌

  • connectminhal Minhal Nawaz 🇵🇰 (@connectminhal) reported

    @Namecheap I was facing issues with server performance, which made my page speed extremely low. I used countless ways to optimize my site, but everything went back on track when I shifted my hosting.

  • sysmannet Alex Petrov (@sysmannet) reported

    @avelykyy @Namecheap Namecheap also #1 by amount of scam projects/website/fraudulent domains violating tm/cp/cloning. and also worst reaction on security/abuse tickets processing team.

  • LefterisJP Lefteris Karapetsas | Hiring for @rotkiapp (@LefterisJP) reported

    @jaemin_eth @Namecheap It's not the hosting that was the problem but the DNS. DNS and hosting do not need to be from the same provider.

  • ModernKurator FHOQUS D' Cat Curious (@ModernKurator) reported

    @NicheSiteLady Namecheap once did me *****. Never again will I rely on them for backup

  • sollog SOLLOG (@sollog) reported

    @Namecheap marketplace SUCKS IMO You list a site you pay them to register and they hide it in serps when someone looks for that keyword So #NameCheapMarketplace is yet another useless #DomainNames Market Push the domains of domain name owners that waste their time listing w/u

  • NamecheapCEO Richard Kirkendall (@NamecheapCEO) reported

    If you are running a high value crypto wallet or exchange service and expect million dollar security for $8-$10 a year at ANY registrar, you are at risk and are a target. If you are using Namecheap, let me know ASAP so we can move you to high level security and monitoring.

  • Bluesplinter Steve (@Bluesplinter) reported

    @ChrisBlec @Namecheap This is a bigger issue than many folks understand. No whitelist or bookmark or any other client-side “best practice” will protect from this kind of hack.

  • octal Ryan (🌈 BTC Holds 2022!) Lackey (@octal) reported

    @officer_cia @Namecheap Also support for registry lock is key; many registrars don’t pass that through :(

  • 2laxar 2laxar (@2laxar) reported

    @Namecheap Everyone needs tgo cancel their namecheap domains or you will get inside hacked like the rest of websites right now

  • Ravenzbb SeC_xO_01 (@Ravenzbb) reported

    @Namecheap @AnkitCuriosity @Bugcrowd I reported it earlier it's been a month and no updates yet, this thing really sucks and soon I'm gonna publicly disclose the bug.

  • lepidotteri lepidotteri.⟠ | 🦇🔊 (@lepidotteri) reported

    @danfinlay maybe dont use clearly ****** DNS providers. Just need to buy 1 domain off Namecheap to understand the service is stuck in 2010 and meant to be avoided

  • ylleskjorta осел путин (@ylleskjorta) reported

    @Namecheap @DerekSilva You will not provide services soon if you keep allowing this **** to go on

  • Crypto_JS_ Crypto_JS_ 🔺️ (@Crypto_JS_) reported

    @Namecheap wtf are you doing?

  • DotTheShake TheShake/ (@DotTheShake) reported

    @XpanderCrew @Namecheap The problem is custodial services. Before Namecheap, it was GoDaddy, before them, other registrars. And the same is true for custodial financial services. See the recent problems across BlockFi, Celsius, etc.

  • nole__tx nole.tx/ (@nole__tx) reported

    @WhatADumbGT @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO You'll have access soon to adjust pricing. If I remember accurately, .ez initially had a higher registry fee that you later changed. Namebase is still parsing through info to make things more accurate. Email NB customer support to ensure they have the correct registry fee 👍

  • n4n084191635 n4n0 (@n4n084191635) reported

    The biggest question is why ******** someone would still go with namecheap.

  • belghast Belghast ⚔️ Quaggan Friend 🇺🇦 (@belghast) reported

    @Pixel_One_ @pasmith namecheap is what I have heard folks using as a godaddy alternative. I have ten domains on godaddy though, so it is going to take a pretty massive issue for me to relocate all of that.

  • wmitsuda Willian Mitsuda - wmitsuda.eth (☕,☕) (@wmitsuda) reported

    @bantg TBF, I'd say any registrar's customer support has admin access to do that kind of operations, it just happened that the attack target uses namecheap

  • JayWuzer Lord JayWuzer/ (@JayWuzer) reported

    @TheWalllstreet @Namecheap Sorry but Namecheap moves too slow to be a leader in the Blockchain space. @UUuLLC will be leading $HNS :)

  • GUA Thomas Clowes (@GUA) reported

    @danfinlay @Namecheap Hmm. People are quick to blame Namecheap here. But Namecheap are also slow to provide a statement/evidence that it's not their issue. Following.

  • moo9000 Mikko Ohtamaa 🐮 (@moo9000) reported

    @flubdubster @ConvexFinance While I agree with you that security critical applications need more secure DNS registrar, Namecheap also broke their terms of service by transferring domain control away in a fraudulent manner.

  • sterluu Nikola Vuković (@sterluu) reported

    @Namecheap @LefterisJP Unfortunately, both we and the other projects have reached out in multiple instances and received no substantial information nor assurance that anyone is looking into the issue.

  • p4ula cr (@p4ula) reported

    @NamecheapCEO @Namecheap Thanks for getting in touch! Of course they have "weekend" support, I can't reach them. Can we do anything to limit the ongoing damage, for example by blocking the catch-all MX that's taking in all the mail now?

  • XpanderCrew Xpander (@XpanderCrew) reported

    @DotTheShake Right on, agreed, but the one running the show @Namecheap is also spearheading Namebase which is the most public access point to Handshake, just confusing the crap out of me if it's either a canary in the coal mine moment or a future 'uh oh' moment that destroys Handshake ability

  • w34r4m45k w34r4m45k 4 ∞ (@w34r4m45k) reported

    @octal which are best? why is Namecheap bad?

  • bneiluj Julien Bouteloup - bneiluj.eth (@bneiluj) reported

    @NamecheapCEO @LefterisJP @Alexintosh I’m also a big namecheap customer and hearing from you that you’ve shutdown all CS auth to dns stuff until end of investigation would make me feel better tbh. Also dns configs for newbies should require 2FA at least so advanced clients aren’t impacted by newbies lack of knowledge

  • NamecheapCEO Richard Kirkendall (@NamecheapCEO) reported

    @nole__tx @WhatADumbGT @Namecheap We will definitely do marketing around it. Jumbled mess considering, there have been 47 sales so far. Not too bad. We'll definitely be optimizing things including how handshake is framed to customers.

    @TrueCrypto28 I'm gonna make it.. Right now I need help trying to setup an affiliate marketing website.. Pls anyone, I need help buying domain and hosting plan from @Namecheap
