Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NBregistry NBregistry (@NBregistry) reported

    The domain bombfriedrice.damn was just registered on Namecheap.

  • HakanaiVR Hakanai✨ (@HakanaiVR) reported

    @Namecheap This conflict was never about the name of a domain, but all the places in the web page where we are supposed to enter our name as contact info. I merely found another provider who didn't have the dumb restriction and switched all my domains to them.

  • paladin_marco Marco Paladin (@paladin_marco) reported

    @Namecheap @lightqun @Cloudflare ok! sorry for not checking, I assumed since it were the same scammers it was going to be hosted on the same service. Will def check next time.

  • jenlalonde Jen Lalonde (@jenlalonde) reported

    @buffer Good customer service when I hit a roadblock I can't solve on my own. FWIW, Namecheap has amazing customer service. Second, anything Zendesk is involved with tends to be five star. I pay attention to this stuff. HostPapa in Canada meh. They have to stop lying about hidden costs.

    @craftnames @Dynadot @Namecheap When you use the card via Dynadot it rings up as Computer Programming and Design Service only 1X When used via Paypal it codes as Computer Networking and Information Services "Internet" for Chase Ink cards.

    @TheEmmaIbekwe Hey, if you have any issues with Namecheap services, please contact our Support Team, and let's figure it out!

  • JakeBuildsStuff Jake (@jsd@brighton.social) (@JakeBuildsStuff) reported

    @MattIPv4 @Namecheap Sounds like a big GDPR skill issue on their part

  • HakanaiVR Hakanai✨ (@HakanaiVR) reported

    @Namecheap Oh I had already contacted customer care. The problem is that they didn't. (care)

  • winnypi winny ~ @winny@mstdn.party (@winnypi) reported

    I've blocked namecheap i don't want to engage with your **** on here

  • ampyourgrowth John Dietrich (@ampyourgrowth) reported

    @Namecheap According to support it’s a policy. No discounts on renewals. Which I understand, but also, my hosting expires in 24 hours where it will no longer be a renewal but a new hosting account. Seems like an inflexible and silly policy.

  • AprilxAlexander |A•A| (@AprilxAlexander) reported

    @Namecheap I’ve been on live chat to get help w ur system treating my emails as spam for no reason & I am getting zero hands on help at all. It’s ridiculous! How can my emails all of a sudden be viewed as spam on your system? & now ur telling me a have to pay for a new server?

  • itsvikrambhuria Vikram Bhuria (@itsvikrambhuria) reported

    @GoDaddyHelp The Namecheap Is Asking To Mail from the GoDaddy official mail To Namecheap for the domain reverse back but the @GoDaddy team Is Not mailing them They are just saying from the further time but giving any proper response please help ASAP by mailing Namecheap

  • HakanaiVR Hakanai✨ (@HakanaiVR) reported

    @Namecheap In short, if you have a place on a web site which takes someone's name, and you don't let someone enter their legal name into it, then your web site sucks. Having support then claim it wasn't a problem was just an extra unnecessary slap in the face.

  • bhaskersanil_ Mr. Code (@bhaskersanil_) reported

    There are many registrars that you can use to register a domain name, some of the most popular ones include: GoDaddy Namecheap HostGator Network Solutions 1&1 DreamHost Google Domains Bluehost Hover Which one is the cheapest ? #domains #startups #webdevelopment

  • TBUkYouTube TBUk (@TBUkYouTube) reported

    @loldisizawsum @CommonTransWs DNS resolves a domain to an IP, so it's not surprising that it passed. I'm just amazed a domain registrar allowed that. Namecheap got rid of their old one, so I wonder who they're with now. An ICANN lookup will reveal that, if the domain isn't already down (which it seems to be).

  • Classyham Classyham (@Classyham) reported

    @Kutline Do you know if their hosting allows dynamic dns? That's the kicker for me right now, having to run 2 domains, one for my externally hosted stuff and one for my home hosted stuff. Namecheap claimed to offer it but support now say otherwise.

  • lukkan999 Lucia/Lukas Ekberg 🌹🏳️‍⚧️ (@lukkan999) reported

    @HotTerfTakes for who not know aup means accptble use policy. it list what accpeted use of service when come server hosting. namecheap has policy agisnt hate based on protected class. i have open ticket waint for review to abuse and legal team at name cheep are small risk culd infare with it.

  • raptormoments raptor moments (@raptormoments) reported

    @Namecheap @KateBDoll customer service is always on point, i always go into the live chat with something like ' i am stupid and i dont know how to do this' and then someone always hooks me up.

  • NBregistry NBregistry (@NBregistry) reported

    The domain ****.4free was just registered on Namecheap.

  • HakanaiVR Hakanai✨ (@HakanaiVR) reported

    @Namecheap The very fact that I was unable to use my legal name on Namecheap is, in my eyes, proof that Namecheap does not give a **** about fraud. Their support staff literally told me to enter a fake name. Draw your own conclusions from that.

  • TheEmmaIbekwe Emmanuel Ibekwe - The Immaculate Emmanuel (@TheEmmaIbekwe) reported

    @Namecheap I am already sending dms. And why is the live chat disabled for me? Is my behavior bad?

  • VTubeStudio VTube Studio (@VTubeStudio) reported

    【📢】 There have been reports of blatant scam websites using VTS branding lately, such as "vtubestudiopc . com" and "vtube-studio . com" I have requested @Namecheap support to suspend these domains but so far they have refused to do so. 🥹🥹🥹 PLEASE BE CAREFUL!! 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖

  • HakanaiVR Hakanai✨ (@HakanaiVR) reported

    @Namecheap Well yes, it's clear that none of the extra money Namecheap makes from the higher annual fees go towards employing support staff who can employ critical thinking, because everyone just parrots that "fraud" line without considering how dumb it sounds in context.

  • Mailia Mailia (@Mailia) reported

    @Namecheap @axematty Your implementation is bad and your security team should feel bad. Transferring my domains to Cloudflare would probably get me proper two-factor support.

  • panja Panja ❄ (@panja) reported

    @Namecheap I'd love to but the last time I posted, support requested 'evidence' of my claims when the site exists to sell the cheats. It's in plain text on the website. I like Namecheap and use you on projects but I don't respect the support of cheat/hack makers that break your own TOS.

  • kamaupithon Pithon K. Kamau (@kamaupithon) reported

    @Namecheap is namecheap down? I cant access any of my websites

  • breezez10 Steve A (@breezez10) reported

    @craftnames @Dynadot @Namecheap The merchant code is a fixed code based on type of service a business primarily provides. Most internet related charges fall into "Computer, Networking, and Information Services". This gets you chase max points, others are "Computer Programming and Design Service" this is 1X

  • mikevart Michael Wright (@mikevart) reported

    Can't believe my site just went down. Oh well. All I can do is wait for namecheap to figure it out.

  • jenlalonde Jen Lalonde (@jenlalonde) reported

    @Namecheap @buffer Wow. Hello! I am coming back! I have looked at your hosting packages but didn't complete the transaction. I thought phone support at HPP would be better, but it isn't. See you soon!

    @iamsourabhshen I've used namecheap with no problems
