Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • _kaizensoze Ben Smith (@_kaizensoze) reported

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO I contacted CS about an error message and this person is copy/pasting from a knowledgebase instead of solving my actual problem. This is super frustrating.

  • razvankim Razvan Kim (@razvankim) reported

    @Namecheap The scam websites you support are also very lucrative.

  • FredsDaily HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    7p Building the @NameCheap server. Working through getting a WHM client profile built. Now trying to get the first domain pointed. I am on with their chat support to help.

  • chillumdafoe Mylius lapis (@chillumdafoe) reported

    @Diverter_NoKYC hey brotha. namecheap been fkn with me -- is it pretty easy to migrate your site/server to a new domain service? any tips you can give with this would be great. they are hounding me with time limits and I don't want to lose access to my pw manager etc..

  • deepleaguegg Deep League (@deepleaguegg) reported

    Hover is a subsidiary of Tucows, and few people who do real web development use them. The pricing is much higher than on Namecheap. The only advantage is a customer support line that is only relevant if you have zero experience with DNS. Otherwise, it lacks on features too.

  • FredsDaily HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    10p Going through the cancellation process with @NameCheap on the reseller Universe Pro--explaining the non-competitive SSL pricing as the problem.

  • TrentTech Alex Darby (@TrentTech) reported

    @Namecheap a week ago I had 3 domains transfered to my Namecheap account, two are not letting me update the nameservers, it comes up with an "oops try again later" error every time I try. Any ideas what the issue could be?

  • CatEmbedded Embedded Cat (@CatEmbedded) reported

    @APT_Namecheap I'm really waiting for Namecheap's response when one of their employees will enter the company bank credentials In a "bank", registered using their service.

  • HSAFTeam HS-AFTeam (@HSAFTeam) reported

    @Namecheap Hello, How is going the issue? fraudulent website is active yet. Please disable this as soon as possible. Regards

  • FredsDaily HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    8p We got our first @NameCheap reseller client live working though getting SSL installed. Having trouble so again opening up their support.

  • razvankim Razvan Kim (@razvankim) reported

    @passionmoonmoon They support scammers tho, big time. A lot of vulnerable people are getting their credit cards emptied basically through @Namecheap’s inability to handle abuse reports and ultimately turning a blind eye for profit. Don’t listen to me, just google it :)

  • malwrhunterteam MalwareHunterTeam (@malwrhunterteam) reported

    In the past ~5 hours @dubstard tweeted 4 phishing sites to Namecheap. 3 of them already got taken down (one I checked more than 2 hours ago and it was already down then). That's a very big progress from "make a ticket for each one and in some days maybe 1 gets taken down"... 👏

  • annakarinaist the karina-ist (@annakarinaist) reported

    @Namecheap @slimekat slimekat what issue were you having? I'm having issues with my forwarding emails getting through to outlook addresses, is this namecheap/outlook specific? I recently switched from hover.

  • RepeatBrands Repeat Brands 🔁 (@RepeatBrands) reported

    @Namecheap I disagree I have made a number of attempts to resolve this at the cost of my time. You need live reps. You got back to me weeks later and offered us the option to buy the names again But one was sold already. We lost a buyer ready for another. Can you fix both issues + time?

  • unknown489103 unknown03 (@unknown489103) reported

    @Namecheap Is there a way to reveal the identity of a person who uses your service to scam and steal people’s money by creating phishing links? If so, what is the legal approach?

  • RepeatBrands Repeat Brands 🔁 (@RepeatBrands) reported

    @Namecheap Thank you for the corporate SM speak. I’m here to tell you, your service is a failure. You need live people to contact your customers before you pull names from their account.

  • tommorris Tom Morris 🏳️‍🌈 (@tommorris) reported

    @Namecheap @edent Any chance you could actually take care of the underlying systemic problem?

  • ed_edwardson Steve (@ed_edwardson) reported

    It does appear that @NameCheap really did take down the #AccessiBe malware. I can actually login again and perform account tasks without my keyboard focus jumping all over the page and being nagged every 10 seconds to turn on screen reader mode. That’s how it’s supposed to be.

    @kx8dery Yuk kak fast proses namecheap vpn user : apricodt12 pass : Cheap123 login 1 device

    Namecheap VPN is pure ****. 😡😡😡

  • hollypryce Holly Pryce (@hollypryce) reported

    @Namecheap I just tried this and it's not working! I've also tried manually deleting the plugin three times and it keeps coming back!

  • edent Terence Eden (@edent) reported

    @tommorris @Namecheap I've reported it to NetCraft - that seems to be the quickest way to get it taken down.

  • APT_Namecheap Namecheap Commentary (@APT_Namecheap) reported

    @tommorris @Namecheap @edent Thanks for the feedback Tom. Our system works this way because we want to limit the number of abuse reports we receive. Please continue manually filing tickets for every auto generated domain this customer buys from us. Thanks!

  • SomeHSomeE Ashley (@SomeHSomeE) reported

    @Namecheap @kyleehmke Hi @namecheap I reported a network of websites conducting crypto investment scams using forged company certificates (easily verifiable as fake) and your abuse team has ignored it.

  • alloutsellout ALL-OUT SELL-OUT (@alloutsellout) reported

    @Namecheap it's called a bounty program why i should teaching your support for free?

  • FredsDaily HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    11a Righting down a pro/con list in comparing our 4th web server purchase. It's down between @A2Hosting and @NameCheap. Decisions, decisions.

  • 0xF21D Robert Hollingshead (@0xF21D) reported

    @APT_Namecheap @Namecheap Oh damn, good one @APT_Namecheap This made my day.

  • FredsDaily HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    9p Spent an hour on with @NameCheap support--we have hit a snag. Their Universe Pro doesn't include "Auto SSL"--which I could live without BUT they charge per client $10/yr. Ugh. This unfortunately is a pricing show stopper.

  • MilaChervenkova мιla 🍩 (@MilaChervenkova) reported

    @Namecheap any logged problems with the hosting service at this moment? My websites are getting "503 Service Unavailable No server is available to handle this request."

  • tlansec tlansec (@tlansec) reported

    @NamecheapCEO @malwrhunterteam @0xF21D Maybe you should speak to other registrars about how they approach this problem because its pretty clear to everyone except you that NameCheap has a big problem with abuse.
