geb (@edgy_faggot) reported******* piece of **** namecheap not letting me renew my ****** domain
-
Adel Bucetta (@adelbucetta) reported@rozzabuilds usually buy from registrar first, then use a registrar-agnostic service like cloudflare for namecheap or google domains. don't need another middleman between me and my registrars
-
timagixe (@timagixe) reportedi remember the first time I bought domain on NameCheap the first thing I did in 10 minutes - transferred domain to CloudFlare luckily to me it was .com - so no issues with that
-
Imagine-This (@ImagineThisSM) reported@astralbodies @Namecheap yeah, true, how long has yours been out, i run 10 shops on their hosting and all of them are down
-
Shawn (@shawn_dot_so) reported@elgermerlo @GoDaddy @Cloudflare GoDaddy isn’t even a consideration for me.. it’s Cloudflare first place or namecheap for TLDs that Cloudflare doesn’t support yet
-
LAZY YUT3 || Defi Scope (@MylesWRLD) reported.@Namecheap I think it's very funny how you guys have scammed me twice with two different accounts, and then making verification so difficult that almost every document I've submitted was not accepted. No problems though. My mistake for ever trying to work with you guys. This is very ****** service and I'll never patronize you any more.
-
Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reported@Namecheap upon checking my hosting list there was nothing, talking to support they say that i have been refunded stellar, but there is no confirmation email of that. hmm, on the domain they said it was put on auction and i cant access it or recover it
-
Resolver Vicky | Dev 🔧 (@resolvervicky) reportedCloudflare Registrar sells domains at cost and they make zero profit on domain registration. It's a loss leader to get you on their platform. That's why the renewal price never spikes. Namecheap's first-year discount is a customer acquisition trick; the real price is the renewal. Agree?
-
Christopher Franko (@chrisjfranko) reported@Namecheap Oh ****... Nice! I thought I was tripping.
-
allmylife (@bhabhiezayn) reported@namesilo @Namecheap NameSilo dead rate is 60%+ for fresh domains (0-6mo) — domains are born dead. Namecheap fresh domains are 25% dead (normal setup delay). This means NameSilo domains were never intended to be used.
-
Tommy Williams 🇺🇦 (@twwilliams) reported@EleanorKonik I'm really not sure which provider is the most trustworthy these days. I keep my most valuable domains on Network Solutions, but I have no idea if that's a good idea. I do know that I pay a lot more than at Namecheap, where I have most of the others.
-
Moritz Wallawitsch (@MoritzW42) reportedevery dev tool NEEDS a cli! I never want to click around in some ui if i can tell claude code to use a cli. i'm considering switching from namecheap and loops bc of this
-
Bac Leo (@BacLeodiv) reportedWhich domain-based email service is best right now ? - Namecheap - GoDaddy - Google
-
Borden Hachez (@HarrowingTimes) reported@BenjaminHouy That's normal, United Domains is one of the worst companies out there. Always use @Porkbun or maybe namecheap. If you have issues with United Domains you can also use reclabox and publicly complain about them, United Domains don't like public shaming and they will insta fix it
-
Mayur Lalwani (@mayurlalwani3) reported@TTrimoreau It really depends on what you're looking for. Price, support, or extra features. I've had good experiences with Namecheap

Sameh Nassar (@siynrr) reported@Namecheap I have a problem with you and the technical support is not helping me!! My domain I want to put it up for sale but through auction but the platform doesn't even allow it even they don't provide the simplest info about the platform/partner that can be used as a broker!

... (@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.

anderson (@U__anderson) reported@John_ACW @Namecheap how many businesses with actually good support can you even name? probably none

ChiseledCactus | Analyst (@chiseledcactus) reported@deanelazab @YayJayBae Hello! If it helps, it looks like it's running via cloudflare servers, and registered via "Namecheap". It still lists "Mediadroid LTD UK", with a "Jonathan hassall, but was dissolved a while back, so this is all sorts of shady. I imagine twitch and YouTube wouldn't be too happy with them continuously scraping content and causing issues, yeah? But is that even an option to try and rally to them?
-
Sean Coker (@okcoker) reportedI later found out, you can no longer even register this TLD on the Namecheap website because they have sunsetted them according to customer "support" 3/
-
Jack Robert (@neutronmesh) reported@Namecheap @Emiliosantoss_ @omarvvvr Don't forget about the 7+ Hour (ongoing) outage with DNS changes. Thats a big seller

AISuperHub (@aisuperhub) reported@ravikiran_dev7 Cloudflare Registrar for domains you plan to keep long term. They sell at cost with no markup. Namecheap for anything quick and cheap. GoDaddy only if you need phone support. Avoid renewing with GoDaddy though, the renewal prices are way higher than the initial promo.

Temi (@temi_convert) reportedNamecheap just took my domain down without notifying me. @grok do I need to sue them?
