-
matt guitar boi (@m_davies94) reportedhad a terrible experience with porkbun today trying to buy a domain email verification on signup didn't work (got the code, their verification form hung) then when I finally got past that, they required ID verification and my license is cracked so namecheap got my business
-
Jorwhol (@jorwhol) reportedI use Namecheap to search for domains, but Cloudflare to register them. Poor ol’ Namecheap.
-
Mildlysupreme (@mildlysupreme) reported@Namecheap @Cloudflare unfortunately namecheap's web app is so ridiculously slow on top of the price hikes.. this is going to take a while
-
Brand (@Brandslewaa) reportedThis raises serious questions about customer privacy, access controls, and internal security practices. I believe Namecheap should investigate this incident and provide a clear explanation of what happened and why those commands were executed.
-
Nishu (@KisekiyaCodes) reported@Stringcodes Namecheap seems to support more extensions
-
David Haddad (@daveying99) reported@levelsio @Cloudflare Easy decision. Only thing I would like more is domain favoriting (considering buying) and more tld support (namecheap has more and godaddy much more)
-
Darth (@Darth88888) reported“We will work extremely hard” here means 1 month extension on the hosting… pure joke of a company! We lost hundreds of thousands in sales and revenue and they are giving 1 month of free service?! #namecheap #hosting #server
-
Eradicating illegal website (@JakawaEIWHunter) reported@spaceship @Namecheap @Namecheap domain hadiahhandphonemawar[.]com is registered with your service, please suspend it immediately.
-
Prongl (@prongl_) reported@Namecheap After 10 hours of outage you managed to get your systems online just in time to send me my monthly bill. Not even a credit for the downtime, how generous
-
Bhavya | PM | Design Engineer | Framer Partner (@bhavyapandya07) reportedUpdate: EasyWP and some services were fully back online around 1:20 PM IST on Aug 14 roughly 19 hours after I posted this. The whole Namecheap outage was fully resolved on around 15 AUG 5AM IST.
-
Ryan (@jrya7) reported@TimAllard @Railway The day I finally shipped my first app was the day namecheap went down 🥲
-
Jai (@jai_ozzie) reported@Namecheap 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?
-
Adie (@wbvend) reported@levelsio @Cloudflare My agent can buy on Namecheap API without issues Then goes on to build + deploy on the VPS everything is very easy now I also have expired domain hunter which pulls down then checks on DataforSEO 🎉🥳
-
King Damian ♤ (@damian_codes) reportedAt this point, I think Namecheap is rage baiting me o. Wtf 🥴 I’ve searched for over 50 names with dot com, and I keep getting “taken”, “registered since **** “ And when I visit those url, it’s 404. No website for them but it’s taken. How 😭 Is it coincidence that people have thought of these names too or something is broken somewhere?
-
Α Ω Programmer (@OmegaNekoSimp) reportedNamecheap also had a power outage the other day... Interesting
-
Jai (@jai_ozzie) reportedThe @Namecheap PR machine is impressive. The accountability isn’t. Publicly, @NamecheapCEO talks about customers and restoring trust. But when a real customer gives you an opportunity to demonstrate that accountability, silence. PR theatre ≠ accountability.
-
Onyema One (@MbadiweOnyema) reported@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.

Richard Kirkendall (@namecheapceo123) reported@a_shimanski @Namecheap Sorry about that and I agree, we could have postponed this until next week especially after the recent outage.

Generalissimo P4X (@P4X_real) reported@UK_Daniel_Card See they had disaster recovery and their compliance standards said it had to be at a separate site. So they likely figured well, upstairs on the second floor is *basically* another site, I mean it’s a different location altogether, one has one set of coordinates and the other another. Besides their data centers are SOCII compliant meaning they have *environmental and power redundancy* because they care. Mostly they care about looking like they care though. Auditors came by, but they mostly had beers and didn’t give a ****, see they’re incentivized to not give a **** because a clean audit means they’ll be hired again. they’re totally independent, but the beers were good and their business depends on the one massive client. They of course made note of the DR situation, but namecheap accepted the risk by signing a paper and pinky swearing it would totally be fixed soonish at some point probably. This is my literal experience with compliance audits. They’re a joke. The bit about namecheap only using SOCII compliant data centers is real btw. So what happened? An abundant lack of competence.

CatWard (@Catzwitch) reported@Namecheap After escalating through DM here, they were finally able to resolve the issue. We have been on with customer service chat since 9AM Eastern and just finally resolved at 5:15 PM. A full day our clients were down, but eventually resolved.
-
Name Here (@seriousbanter) reporteduh oh, namecheap hosting.. down again?
-
handygas (@handygas) reported@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?
-
oscar (@oscargaske) reported@RiverKhan I've used namecheap for a while and their UI is definitely ****, butttt if it's that bad why not switch to Vercel/something prettier?
-
JAVB Perú (@JavbPeru) reported@shonvibes @Namecheap Yes, okay, in our case, we can no longer just select UNREAD, we have to search for the email. I suppose they'll fix it.
-
Top Shelf Names (@TopShelfNames) reportedSpaceship seems to have rewritten everything from the ground up except for the domain search function which is arguably the most important feature, and the worst part about Namecheap. I may be alone here, but I find Beast Mode insufferable.
-
ETHICAL JAY 🖥️ (@demon_hunterboy) reported@Namecheap Support team says another server issue
-
spencer :) (@spencerpauly) reportedThis morning I asked codex: "move my site to vercel to save costs". It asked me to login to namecheap for my dns records. "Ohh, move the nameservers to cloudflare too". 1 hour later - both are migrated.
-
Todd A 🤙 Badlander (@rigid_river_MT) reported@LocalSEO_Guy @batesbn I like Namecheap for a registrar. Cloidflare for dns. But I rarely get to choose the hosting unless its a new build. I cover all the domain migration stuff. Godaddy isnt a terrible regisrar, but i dont like waiting so long for a record to propogate. Their builder is 💩 tho.

Shriyans Sudhi (@ss0x00) reported@hahwul I use @Porkbun and namecheap - I had a few billing issues with cloudflare (none of the payment methods worked)
