    @csaba_kissi I still use Namecheap for my domains. The dashboard and support have been reliable for me over the years. Renewal costs might be higher than Cloudflare but I haven't felt the need to switch yet.

    @omarvvvr i go with Namecheap – straightforward UI, decent renewal rates and reliable support

    Berkay (@cankiranberkay) reported

    @Namecheap you guys have a really messed up bug. Since the support person doesnt know when its fixed im asking here. When you buy a domain like my—-domain.com (with three „-“ inside) you arent able to manage anything of the domain the page just says „ups“… please fix this 🙏🏽

    @YashHustle_22 Namecheap. Been with them for a couple for a couple decades now. Easy to use systems, great customer support, never had a single problem with a domain name registered through them.

    @iam_Pentyberry @iamrichygold But if you want your domain as . Com only without adding ng then you say there's a problem there. Namecheap actually gives you free one month hosting anyways

    @Namecheap @digitalocean To be clear, I released the IP address as part of winding things down. I just finally noticed it got recycled

    Any recommendations for web hosting. I currently use a shared hosting plan with @Namecheap No major complaints, but I get occasional issues with my websites being flagged as spam by my ISP.

    Adam (@nciuadam) reported

    If anyone is wondering, Namecheap is down for maintenance and not us. We'll be back soon.

  • bhartzer
    Bill Hartzer (@bhartzer) reported

    @DNaccess analyzed their list of hundreds of stolen domain names (mostly publicly announced stolen domains and many not publicly disclosed). We looked at historical whois data that shows the losing registrar in each of the stolen domain name cases. Here's the breakdown of the percentages (and where you probably should secure your account if you have domains registered there): Network Solutions is 40%, GoDaddy 33%, and eNom 7% — so those three alone account for 80%, and Network Solutions plus GoDaddy together are 73%. After that it drops into a long tail: Domain(.com) ~4%, then Moniker, Namecheap, and 1&1 IONOS at ~2% each, and a scattering of single cases at ~1% We're not necessarily suggesting or recommending that you transfer your domain name to another registrar. Just secure your account. Also note that these are among the largest and oldest registrars, and Network Solutions in particular holds a big share of the premium legacy .com names that thieves target, so this reflects where the valuable domains live as much as where security is weakest. #domains

    @omarvvvr Namecheap all the way never had a problem in years and their customer support is on point

  • cgambledev
    Charity Gamble (@cgambledev) reported

    @Namecheap I have been a loyal customer for years, but I am strongly reconsidering that. My hosting is set up for auto-renewal. Yet every single month I get an “overdue” notice, followed an hour later by a “pay in 72 hours or be suspended” notice. This is unacceptable.

    @Namecheap don’t do it, they work with criminals who clone other peoples websites and don’t do anything to take the scammer websites down

    @arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC runs .de transfers through a KK code and the registrar has to be a member or work via a partner. a lot of resellers only built the registration side and never the transfer one.
