    @levelsio @Cloudflare I don't like Namecheap neither (their DNS setup sometimes causes my browser to freeze). But so far all domain providers I tried were generally ****, so I kind of made peace with the fact that they all suck. Why is @Cloudflare different?

    @AlfinCodes Namecheap altho I had a bad experience with them and it took time to get resolved. Cloudfare is a better option.

    @BTCUFO It’s really **** that @Namecheap don’t let users list .ai domain names on their platform

    Unverified conspiracy theory: GoDaddy holds all these inactive domains through a shell company so they can charge finders fees and commission to “find” the owner of the domain, themselves Namecheap would never stoop to such loser levels

  • RealLight47

    @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.

    @tomilola_ng @timithechef I’ve used hostinger way back in 19/20, Dreamhost VPS 22/23. I stuck with namecheap for their customer support. It’s the best & cheapest.

  • gatewaytodomain
    GatewayToDomains (@gatewaytodomain) reported

    @katerleonid No, I use Namecheap, Porkbun, Unstoppable, Regery, Netim, 101Domains based on the support for tld I want to register.

    @TheTrunkTales @Namecheap Not at my PC rn so I can't check, but those all resolved to a login portal? 😳

    I don't know when the domain registrars will understand user experience is as important as your domain service. --- okish -------- - hostinger - godaddy ---- garbage ---------- - namecheap

  • JamiuAjetomobi

    It doesn't matter how great your content or product is if your audience never sees it. ​The fix requires updating your technical security keys inside your domain host (like @GoDaddy or @Namecheap) so providers know you are a trusted sender.

    @TTrimoreau None. *Godaddy-pricy, had market place problems. *Hostinger+cloudflare-wouldnt use, not their niche *Namesilo-had major security incident, noone cared. *namecheap-not cheap, cluttered UI, intrusive upsells *spaceship-cheaper than internetbs, terrible UI

  • 0xPhilH
    Phil (@0xPhilH) reported

    @milanm_ @levelsio @Cloudflare To add here, since CFs offices are in France, they overcomply with every bs EU request, even if you host a service that is US only. They won't do that for the content part, so namecheap registar + CF dns + CF CDN is actually best of both worlds combo.

    Godaddy is a **** I should have gone with hostinger or namecheap My site is down after 2 days of getting it …even after successfull verification 😤 No support, no person available… poor service @GoDaddy

    @AGreatDomain That's addressed to you @Namecheap Though Suzie is as good as the template churning morons who man your support system

    @Namecheap Furthermore, I will explode that you’ve never invested anything and immediately replied that claims are unfounded when clearly they are not. You don’t want me to expose you and your bullshit customer service.😡😡

  • baro0xx
    Bennico (@baro0xx) reported

    @Namecheap Fix your servers!!! 33% packet lost to 8.8.8.8 is unacceptable even for a server in Africa. Your tech support telling me to reboot and change hostname. They clueless. This is a serious production software. Fix your servers and educate your tech support!!!

    I’ve usually had very good experiences with @Namecheap and their customer service but today I have been on with a live agent for more than 30 mins and they can’t resolve my issue after wasting my time they are now transferring me to a different department. SMH

    @receipts_lol But people are praying attention. I've been a lifelong namecheap customer but after what they did to you guys I've moved everything to porkbun

  • elephnaburky
    elena (@elephnaburky) reported

    @ChrisProd_ @Echotheglitch8 What Glitch is probably doing right now is probably consulting with the Registrar (NiceNIC, which they also don't use. Glitch uses Tucows, Namecheap, and GoDaddy) to get the domain taken down. Or, they might not be doing anything. Who knows.

  • TheTrunkTales
    The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported

    @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.

  • kj_kjato
    K S (@kj_kjato) reported

    @Namecheap I just wanted to let you guys know that I’ve contacted my local law-enforcement to stop some websites that you’re hosting from scamming any further. I’ve asked repeatedly fake the domain down and you refuse now I’m pursuing legal action.😡😡😡😡

  • spaceship
    Spaceship (@spaceship) reported

    @Atifel_ We take accusations of front-running very seriously, and we want to assure you with 100% certainty that Spaceship never registers domain names based on customer search queries. The domains you provided are registry premium and not registered with Spaceship or Namecheap. Because the registry determines the base cost for these premium names, the higher price applies to both the initial registration and the annual renewals.

  • insigdev
    Insignificant Developer (@insigdev) reported

    @tomilola_ng Namecheap sucks though 😭 Namecheap VPS is just Hostinger in a different coat. Low initial cost, ridiculous renewal prices as well, and a predatory domain expiration pipeline that funnels your forgotten domains straight to their marketplace auctions.

  • irucsbo
    ... (@irucsbo) reported

    @NamecheapCEO I used Namebase (owned by @Namecheap) to manage my funds. Three months ago, you sold the platform without notifying your clients. Since Namecheap sold the platform, I have lost access to my funds, and this issue has now been ongoing for more than three months.

    Hey @Namecheap - getting multiple phising attempts from a domain hosted by you trying to be @moonpay - told me that my phone number had been changed and to call them... lol... domain is arewasolutions [dot] com - please can you take down <3
