Namecheap Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Alex @Bickov (@bickov) reported@justbyte_ Namecheap for the cheap first year, then transfer to Cloudflare. Cloudflare is at-cost with no markup, so renewals never jump, about $10.44 for a .com forever instead of ballooning year two. Only catch is you have to use their nameservers.

CAPED CRUSADER๐ฆ (@stilleclectic) reported@matthansbello Sigh, everything was originally done on namecheap but Iโve now just moved the dns to cloudflare. Waiting to see if that fixes the issue

AI SaaS Launchpad (@AISaaSLaunchpad) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC (.de registry) handles transfers differently than gTLDsโit requires real-time authcode validation via a direct registry connection, which Namecheap's backend integration doesn't support for inbound moves. The workaround is transferring to a registry with direct DENIC support (like Porkbun or Hetzner) and pointing DNS to Namecheap.

Bogey Wilcox (@brasscogg) reportedUnverified conspiracy theory: GoDaddy holds all these inactive domains through a shell company so they can charge finders fees and commission to โfindโ the owner of the domain, themselves Namecheap would never stoop to such loser levels

Chris Ebert (@realchrisebert) reported@kopertop Iโll check those out. I was paying namecheap to do this, but their service wasnโt very good.

LawsOfRobots (@LawsOfRobots) reportedI am the owner of Azure subscription and tenant. After moving my verified domain from GoDaddy to NameCheap, I am now completely locked out of this subscription and tenant. I cannot log in or access any resources. I no longer need this subscription or any of its resources (already replaced) . I would like to permanently cancel and delete the entire subscription (including all associated resources, databases, Key Vaults, etc.) to close this account cleanly. @AzureSupport

Avdhoottt (@avdhootttt) reportedIf you want to build a startup that actually has users: Claude = coding. (more like $100+) Supabase = backend. ($25-599/mo once you cross free tier) Vercel = deploying. ($20-150+/mo once you get real traffic) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr, ok this one's real) Stripe = payments. (2.9% + 30ยข/transaction) GitHub = version control. (free) Resend = emails. (free until 3k emails, then $20/mo+) Clerk = auth. (free until 10k MAU, then $25/mo+) Cloudflare = DNS. (free, genuinely) PostHog = analytics. (free until you cross the free tier) Sentry = error tracking. (free until errors pile up) Upstash = Redis. (free until real traffic) Pinecone = vector DB. ($70/mo minimum) Total monthly cost to run a startup with actual users: $300-1000+ "$21/mo" is the cost to run a demo nobody uses.

ฦrฮฑeแง (@fraey0) reportedit costs about $21/month to run what could become a multi-million dollar startup โข human brain = reasoning (free) โข claude = coding ($20/mo) โข supabase = backend (free) โข vercel = deployment (free) โข namecheap = domain ($12/yr) โข stripe = payments (2.9%/trx) โข github = versioning (free) โข resend = email (free) โข clerk = auth (free) โข cloudflare = DNS (free) โข posthog = analytics (free) โข sentry = error tracking (free) โข upstash = redis (free) โข pinecone = vector DB (free) everything sums up to roughly $20 to $25 per month so, the tools are not the barrier anymore. most ideas donโt fail because theyโre expensive to build. they fail because they never get built at all. whatโs stopping you?

The Smart Ape ๐ฅ (@the_smart_ape) reportedmillions of companies forget to renew their domain names every year. you can just buy the expired domain someone forgot about and get a premium on it. itโs called drop catching. where to find them discovery + filtering: โ expireddomains[.]net โ domcop โ freshdrop โ moonsy auctions + catching: โ godaddy auctions โ namecheap expired auctions โ dynadot closeouts โ namejet / snapnames โ dropcatch (1,200+ registrars, best catch rate on contested names) the process: domain expires โ grace period โ โpending deleteโ โ drops. once itโs pending delete (usually ~5 days before the drop) you can place a backorder. if more than one person wants it, it goes to auction. most of these never get listed for sale. catch the ones with real value (traffic, backlinks, brandable names).

Akinsete Motunrayo (@Harkinsete) reportedI built my entire personal brand with AI and a clear process. Here is exactly what I built and how I did it, because you can do this too. What I Built โ Brand Strategy (mission, vision, values) โ Visual identity: colors, fonts, logo, brand guidelines โ A full pitch deck (12 slides) โ A speaker kit PDF โ A complete multi-page personal brand website โ A free lead magnet (a guide people can actually use) How I Built the Website Step 1: I planned before I touched anything I wrote down my brand colors, my fonts, my page structure, and what I wanted each page to do. Most people skip this. Everything breaks when you skip this. Step 2: I gave Claude one detailed prompt with my brand colors, fonts, pages, and copy. It returned a complete, mobile-responsive, multi-page website as a single HTML file. One file. Ready to deploy. The prompt I used: - "Build me a complete personal brand website as a single HTML file. Pages: Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Contact. Primary color [your hex], accent color [your hex], background [your hex]. Display font [font name], body font [font name]. Home page needs: dark hero with my name, photo on the right, tagline, and a CTA button. Services section. Impact numbers. Mobile responsive. No frameworks." Copy this, edit your details, and fine-tune as you want. Step 3: I pushed to GitHub: Free. This took me less than five minutes. Now every update I make is version-controlled and safe. Step 4: I deployed to Vercel for free. Connected my GitHub repo to Vercel and the site was live in under few minutes. This requires no hosting fees and nothing to manage. Step 5: I bought my domain on Namecheap - Searched for my full name and found the .com. Bought it for less than $12 for the year. Added it to Vercel. Updated the DNS settings on Namecheap. Waited 20 minutes. My website was live at my own domain. - Total cost: less than $12. - Total time to go live: under 2 hours. I am also working on a mobile app. A Progressive Web App, which means anyone can visit the URL on their phone and add it to their home screen like a real app. I may be running a live training in July where I will walk you through this entire process step by step to build your live website with a custom domain. If you have a phone and a laptop, you can do this. I documented everything the steps, the exact AI prompts, the domain checklist, the deploy instructions in a free PDF guide. Comment BRAND IDENTITY below and I will send it straight to your inbox. ๐พSAVE THIS POST. You will want to come back to it. ๐ SHARE IT with someone who keeps saying they need a website. The only thing standing between you and a professional online presence is the decision to start. Love and Light, Motunrayo ๐ค

Shilpi Agrawal (@shilpiagrawal55) reported@_swanand vaguely familiar with dns enough to get my work done. Had added Custom vercel DNS on namecheap (now that i open namecheap and see).
