    @hahwul I use @Porkbun and namecheap - I had a few billing issues with cloudflare (none of the payment methods worked)

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO You still have issues and you should be transparent about it. And the new format is horrible. You are touting it as improved but it adds nothing new and takes away everything that was so useful in the OX interface. Guess I'm changing providers after some good years.

    @Namecheap Namecheap is a truly terrible company. They charged me for the PrivateSSL service which is part of a hosting plan I was planning to cancel before the billing date. When I asked for a refund, they said the charge was non-refundable. It’s a rip-off.

    Namecheap is having an outage currently, which appears to be affecting my company email.

    @Namecheap @Namecheap How can a database file of a website disappear when the database user is intact?, I need an explanation, yet you refuse to provide support

    Jai (@jai_ozzie) reported

    @Namecheap 14+ hours of business email disruption. Emails bounced. Business impacted. Namecheap’s compensation? $10. Yes, $10. Does @Namecheap seriously believe this demonstrates accountability to a small business after a major infrastructure outage?

  • farfesadee
    Farmercologist (@farfesadee) reported

    So apparently, Contabo newly introduced a free firewall feature which was enabled on the account and as a result, every incoming traffic was being dropped. More so, the issue Namecheap had last Thursday affected our domain as well, the DNS record completely stopped communicating with the server’s public IP. All issues fixed💯💯💯. Now I can rest😒😒😒 This is one of the things you get for working as a Bsckend Engineer.

    Day 5: Building in Public 🙌🏻 If you want to start a startup in 2026, the cost of building has never been lower. Claude = coding ($20/mo) GPT API = AI features (~$20/mo) Supabase = backend (Free) Vercel = deployment (Free) Namecheap = domain (~$12/yr) Stripe/Dodopayments = payments (2.9%/transaction) GitHub = version control (Free) Resend = emails (Free) ProductBridge = feedback (Free) Clerk = auth (Free) Cloudflare = DNS (Free) PostHog = analytics (Free) Sentry = error tracking (Free) Upstash = Redis (Free) Pinecone = vector DB (Free) You can get surprisingly far with ~$40/month.

    @thatdavidoc @doctorbeau @NamecheapCEO There's nothing cheap or unserious about Namecheap. There has been server downtimes in the history of all major cloud hosting services. And this one has never happened in years.

    @Namecheap Privateemail down... not like I have work to do or anything.

    @DecrepitProwl If you switch to namecheap you can get the email service much cheaper and renting a vps for your web hosting yourself would also be much cheaper, would just take a little more work to set up. I haven't checked out the site, but if you are just hosting photography you can get away with a lot less.

    @appdevbyamitesh @Namecheap their Phoenix datacenter lost cooling, so they shut servers down to protect the hardware. domains, hosting and email all went with it. business email was down most of the day

    WTF, @Namecheap. Need recommendations. For YEARS, I’ve recommended Namecheap over GoDaddy because the support was great and I trusted the experience. Now I’m finding that EVERY SINGLE domain I searched on Namecheap’s WHOIS less than 24 hours ago is suddenly “taken.” Not one. Every. Single. One. People on Reddit raised this exact issue months ago. I defended Namecheap because I’d never experienced it myself and even mentioned it is trust worthy. Well, I faced it now. I searched each domain ONCE. Just once. I wasn’t repeatedly checking them or trying to register them. And now they’re all “taken.” Maybe it’s a coincidence. But it’s a pretty damn weird one because every domain I that I had checked for availability is gone at easily 10x the price. I’m seriously considering moving everything out of Namecheap. Who are you guys using instead? Already using Cloudflare for .com, but I still have a lot of domains at NC.

    had a terrible experience with porkbun today trying to buy a domain email verification on signup didn't work (got the code, their verification form hung) then when I finally got past that, they required ID verification and my license is cracked so namecheap got my business

    Is anyone else experiencing this today with WordPress? Several of my websites are working normally on the front end, but /wp-admin and /wp-login.php are returning a 500 Internal Server Error. They’re all hosted with Namecheap. Anyone else seeing the same issue today?

    Spaceship seems to have rewritten everything from the ground up except for the domain search function which is arguably the most important feature, and the worst part about Namecheap. I may be alone here, but I find Beast Mode insufferable.

    Richie Young (@Poor__Old) reported

    An underrated part of doing your own thing is all the tangential skills you learn. Just had a client from last year hit me up because their website was not showing online. Getting a "1001 error". Something about Cloudflare. Site built through carrd. Hosted on namecheap. Both renewed in the past year. Carrd reset to "offline draft". Namecheap added another DNS record. And it toggled ' on for the existing records. Carrd has its own ceriticate of security, so the toggles and extra DNS record were creating a problem. Honestly, I can't speak it the lingo exactly. But I knew the language enough to trouble shoot, find another back door tab in Carrd, and troubleshoot the problem. Site back up this morning. With a little help from the AI lords and the ability to speak(screenshot) the problem, it's all better now. Good start to the day. Especially after the little one was up from 11-2 last night!

    @tapasadhikary @Namecheap I never liked namecheap / godaddy, don't know why people choose it over simple providers like cloudflare where they charge same amount for 1 or 10 years

    Does @Namecheap have plans to reimburse its users for the loss or it’s just gonna be one of those we don’t care customer service? Cos there was no announcement, no update. Nothing at all.
