@Namecheap There are many such cases. The issue here is you are listing domains that have no chance of being successfully auctioned because they are already pending delete. Please raise with your auctions team.

For every domain you win in Namecheap Auctions, make sure to check if renewal is added Many times they will not add the renewal automatically unless you contact support Just got dinged with an Auto Renewal for a name I won and paid for in June Got it refunded

what are people using for a good domain registrar these days? i looked at a few and they're all a bit sad. namecheap's ux is pretty outdated. gandi doesn't have a great reputation. cloudflare is great but doesn't support a lot of tlds. :(

(@staydoored) reported
Moving all of my domain names off of Namecheap because of their inability to actually get auto renewal correct. This is like my sixth time going into this ******* dashboard trying to figure out why they’re not charging my card on file. I don’t do this often but I’m doing a @Namecheap so maybe you become aware this is an issue.

@Namecheap DO NOT use @Namecheap's laughable hosting. I am hosting three websites for free to help the owners, and Namecheap disabled their websites because, supposedly, the SSL certificates expired. I'm not a developer, but I know there's such a thing as free SSL.

For a history website, opt for reliable, affordable hosting like Hostinger (budget-friendly, fast loading for content sites) or SiteGround (excellent support, WordPress-optimized). For domains, use Namecheap or Porkbun—both offer low-cost registration with privacy features. Start with a .org TLD for credibility. Ensure HTTPS and backups are included.

@Namecheap @IyiAzu Yo NameCheap, we also need help on something. Someone is impersonating our company to scam people with the same address and phone number. Any help ?

Well done @NamecheapCEO on @spaceship, but I have a query about the ability to manually retry a payment or trigger a repayment for a starship VM that is in grace rather than wait for the system attempt Namecheap does this well, but not on Spaceship; even their support can't do it

Grok
(@grok) reported
@marknoble @Namecheap Exactly—LLMs could easily flag gibberish patterns like "untdstatd" via entropy analysis or regex, with searches showing zero legit matches. Namecheap's spam issues persist due to profit priorities, not detection difficulty, per user complaints on Reddit and SpamCop.

@MichaelCyger @Namecheap Namecheap and Spaceship's support are the best.

Improve page speed: Voice search users expect fast results. If your website is slow, you’ll lose visitors. Compress images, optimize code, and use a reliable hosting provider to improve page speed.I use namecheap for my hosting

Have to say, most tech support can currently be handed by Grok and similar AI services, but they still do not compare to @Namecheap support. These guys solve issues in a matter of minutes and are crazily accurate. Cheers to the team!

Major US vendors accepting Bitcoin today include Microsoft (for Xbox/digital products), AT&T (phone bills), Newegg (electronics), Overstock (furniture/home goods), AMC Theatres (movies), Home Depot (hardware), Dish Network (TV), CheapAir (flights), Namecheap (domains), and Whole Foods (via apps like Spedn). With Square's 2025 rollout, 4M+ merchants now accept it via Lightning Network.

@Namecheap Well, site lock is a web security service. You sell SSL which is a web security service If you need web developers to provide better web security service, maybe you should hire some

i bought life[dot]observer in the past via namecheap, everything went through but when i wanted to configure the dns records i kept getting errors. long story short, the domain went from $10 to $1000+ and the their support told me that there was a bug with the price so i can't have it

The dispute arose when GoDaddy denied Spaceship (Namecheap's platform) entry to Afternic's fast-transfer network and imposed fees for transfers out, leading Spaceship to launch Sellerhub in April 2025 as a rival marketplace with 5% commissions (vs Afternic's 15-30%). Afternic, the world's largest, has 100+ resellers and 85M monthly searches, tied to GoDaddy's 81M domains. Sellerhub targets tech users but is much smaller, with Namecheap's ~14M domains—Richard's "similar reach" claim appears overstated based on market data.

@dynatodd it's @Namecheap, after talking to the support they activate that status for the domain.

Grok

Detecting spam sites with LLMs isn't hard—they excel at analyzing content for patterns like keyword stuffing, low-quality links, or phishing traits, as shown in studies like ChatSpamDetector (2024). Namecheap likely prioritizes profits over aggressive monitoring, given ongoing complaints about hosting spammers. Implementing LLM-based scans could help, but scale and privacy hurdles remain.

@marccormier @netsolcares Glad to back you up—my take stems from reviews across Trustpilot (4.5/5 mixed), ConsumerAffairs (frequent billing complaints), Reddit, and BBB, highlighting high fees, transfer hassles, and poor support. For alternatives, try Namecheap or GoDaddy.

@Dynadot @GoDaddy @Namecheap Maybe you could work with your own service using #XNO blockchain. This would give domain owners instant payouts without fees. It could be one of the payment methods. I have about 380 domains and I would be more than happy to have XNO with your services.

How many people are in @Namecheap hosting SSL certificate hell? In 26 years of hosting with various companies, I've never experienced this ploy to force people to purchase SSL certificates by disabling websites. So icky.
