  @Namecheap 's new interface for Private Email doesn't let you set up conversations for the inbox. Are they insane?! This shows a total lack of regard for the time management of business owners who use your service, Namecheap. I bet YOUR email has conversation view. #namecheapdown

  @Namecheap loses power in Phoenix due to a storm has to shut down the system to avoid any further damage. Shutting down websites access to all sorts of features it's almost like @Tesla_Megapack doesn't exist in the world. What the heck?

  @Namecheap has lost my business. Today was the last straw. I will never buy another domain from you scammy ************* in life. You add “premium domain” tax and gatekeep customers. I even got a capital letter “BANNED” for a domain I searched and then I just bought it through @Cloudflare for $11. After the BANNED thing, I searched another domain and it said “Premium Domain” and was priced at $100,000… I also bought that domain at Cloudflare for $11. That was the last straw. I’ve been a Namecheap customer for over 20 years. I am DONE. I’ll be transferring all of my domains to Cloudflare this week.

  Our email service has been restored after yesterday's @Namecheap outage. We're not sure whether all emails sent during the outage were successfully delivered. If you emailed us on August 13 and haven't heard back by the end of August 14, please resend your email. Thanks!

  @NamecheapCEO 14+ hours of business email disruption. Emails bounced. Business impacted. Namecheap’s compensation? $10. Yes, $10. Does @Namecheap seriously believe this demonstrates accountability to a small business after a major infrastructure outage? Thread 🧵 1/4

  Lauren (@Lorncat) reported 25 minutes ago

  @NamecheapCEO Support team at NameCheap is saying they don’t have an ETA for remaining users. In response to whether this would take weeks/months, they kept saying “It may be restored much sooner; we simply don't have a specific timeframe to provide at the moment.” So possibly years too

  Camille Godwin (@RBKGRG) reported 26 minutes ago

  @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO You still have issues and you should be transparent about it. And the new format is horrible. You are touting it as improved but it adds nothing new and takes away everything that was so useful in the OX interface. Guess I'm changing providers after some good years.

  Gary Kriebel (@GaryKriebel) reported 27 minutes ago

  @Namecheap You don't release new software removing functionality from the users. Your actions will make me miss my wife's doctor's appointments. I've expressed the details to your support staff. I will be looking for a new provider. This is unacceptable.

  @richardnavanda @Namecheap Yeah, seriously. They’ve put us through hell since yesterday. 😑 Our VPS went down, came back with issues, and even now one of our production websites is still offline. It’s been a complete nightmare.

  @thatdavidoc @doctorbeau @NamecheapCEO There's nothing cheap or unserious about Namecheap. There has been server downtimes in the history of all major cloud hosting services. And this one has never happened in years.

  @taylorotwell When Namecheap went down, I wondered if the cloud in Laravel cloud is actually cloud as in if a data center in the US fails a data center in Europe can still serve our applications.

  @JEROMEFARAILL @Namecheap @Cloudflare to be fair it was a cooling failure at PhoenixNAP, not an attack. the single region setup is the real issue

  An underrated part of doing your own thing is all the tangential skills you learn. Just had a client from last year hit me up because their website was not showing online. Getting a "1001 error". Something about Cloudflare. Site built through carrd. Hosted on namecheap. Both renewed in the past year. Carrd reset to "offline draft". Namecheap added another DNS record. And it toggled ' on for the existing records. Carrd has its own ceriticate of security, so the toggles and extra DNS record were creating a problem. Honestly, I can't speak it the lingo exactly. But I knew the language enough to trouble shoot, find another back door tab in Carrd, and troubleshoot the problem. Site back up this morning. With a little help from the AI lords and the ability to speak(screenshot) the problem, it's all better now. Good start to the day. Especially after the little one was up from 11-2 last night!

  @NamecheapCEO Keep prices low! I switched to Namecheap from Hostgator because you are 3x cheaper at least. Also your support is great, don't replace it with AI

  @ImLunaHey @UK_Daniel_Card @Namecheap Kinda like how most of AWS broke when they had a DynamoDB issue in us-east-1. It's crazy how you'd expect these things to not happen at these huge tech companies but here we are...

  Farmercologist (@farfesadee) reported 50 minutes ago

  So apparently, Contabo newly introduced a free firewall feature which was enabled on the account and as a result, every incoming traffic was being dropped. More so, the issue Namecheap had last Thursday affected our domain as well, the DNS record completely stopped communicating with the server’s public IP. All issues fixed💯💯💯. Now I can rest😒😒😒 This is one of the things you get for working as a Bsckend Engineer.

  @Porkbun @spaceship @Namecheap 5/ The India Payment Problem 🇮🇳 Most top developer-recommended platforms (like Porkbun or Spaceship) offer great pricing but don't support native UPI. If your debit card lacks international enabling, your purchase will instantly fail. Don't let that stall your launch! Platforms that actually support UPI to lock down your name instantly: • GoDaddy India: Massive support for UPI, great initial promos, but watch out for intense checkout up-sells! • Hostinger India: Highly reliable local billing, excellent speeds, and clean UPI QR codes at checkout.

  not ousher (@ousher23) reported 60 minutes ago

  @UK_Daniel_Card @Namecheap Yes, major outage. A storm-triggered cooling system failure at the PhoenixNAP facility forced Namecheap to shut down over 5,000 servers to prevent hardware damage, though services are currently coming back online progressively.

  Does @Namecheap have plans to reimburse its users for the loss or it’s just gonna be one of those we don’t care customer service? Cos there was no announcement, no update. Nothing at all.
