Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • rabbidroid David Twersky (@rabbidroid) reported

    @Namecheap I need to add a DNS record. Why do sites go down just when I need them?

  • surina777 surina (@surina777) reported

    Hi @Namecheap, I have an urgent ticket needing attention for a site that is down. If someone could please review Ticket ID: IGN-914-72373. Thanks!

  • gjcourt George Courtsunis (@gjcourt) reported

    I've been locked out of my @Namecheap account since October 2020 - and the only way they can verify is via the last 4 on my CC? The support rep reminded me over email that by signing the TOS they could ask for photo id - then ask for it!

  • GaiaBordicchia Gaia Bordicchia (@GaiaBordicchia) reported

    Head to head: Namecheap vs Godaddy 1° includes everything I need in the starting package (privacy, dnssec) 2° has support in my language (however I almost prefer livechat.) Maybe safer? Everything is an added service! Hover unfortunately doesn’t support DNSSEC on .art

  • phips_b Philipp (@phips_b) reported

    Ok ... now we have a problem namecheap is down so I am not able to set up the dyn-DNS client. Lets continue tomorrow, I have already made some progress today.

  • thomassons_ Thomassons (@thomassons_) reported

    you might be coming off a low base with the 21C Mute test but I have used Namecheap for about 12 years not a single issue and cheaper.

  • _DaveRandom Chris Wright™ 💉 (@_DaveRandom) reported

    @p0welly @Namecheap scammers are using them for one simple reason: @Namecheap accept bitcoin/crypto in general as payment. anonymous payments for an anonymous service.

  • reallyninja Really Ninja (@reallyninja) reported

    Right. @Namecheap is the most convoluted and customer unfriendly service I have ever used. Chat asked for details we JUST ENTERED & them tells me to wait 10-15 mins. This should not be this complicated people

  • clukawski thinkpad dropper 🦏 (@clukawski) reported

    @Namecheap I shouldn't get a nondescript 500 error when I type in an address into a field, it should tell me on that page that I've typed something incorrect. I'm saying is having a customer go through a separate FAQ page to handle address in put is just incredibly bad UX y'all

  • clukawski thinkpad dropper 🦏 (@clukawski) reported

    I've had to reformat a perfectly valid address twice to register a .ca domain now @Namecheap @ciranews fix your **** please "Internal Error Sorry, [...] Details: .CA domains - Please enter Registrant state code ON for the state Ontario."

  • rsmck Ross McKillop (@rsmck) reported

    @xthinkr @katebevan @edent I’ve been blocking all Namecheap IPs on my, and a few others’, connections for around a month now. Today is the first day they had issues accessing a legitimate site.

  • GeecheeThreat (5) Minute Mav 🔎🦿🇯🇲🇮🇪 (@GeecheeThreat) reported

    @amdev83 @Namecheap Oh lord... that poor baby, trying to get to a place they can't go. 🥲 I'm just glad it wasn't tomfoolery on your end for you

  • shezzyqureshi shahzad qureshi (@shezzyqureshi) reported

    @Namecheap I am really disappointed of your support service, it’s almost 7 days and I did not getting the solution. I am unable to login on my namecheap ticket RTB-790-34015. Kindly look at the matter.

  • Hao_and_Y Hao Ye (@Hao_and_Y) reported

    @drjulie_b I use namecheap, but they raised the price on my .wtf domain after a year, so I'm not so sure if I'll stick with them.

  • yoonmi420 YoonMi Stonah420 (@yoonmi420) reported

    And sometimes in bitching you realize the solution... I asked for 72 hrs you gave me 12, you resuspended me. So I asked for 24 more hrs you gave me 6; challenge accept **** weeds. Yes, **** you I will cuss you out on Twitter as much as I want cuz 8 mths of utter bs @namecheap

  • trueblue_in Rajiv Singh (@trueblue_in) reported

    @Namecheap I was registering a domain when the site stopped for maintainence. What bad luck.

  • IanKoHoman1 IanKoHoman (@IanKoHoman1) reported

    @CloudflareHelp @Cloudflare - as soon as I get a human to help me recover and let me back in - you bet I'm moving my account to @Namecheap - I did everything you had requested and still not even one millimeter closer to getting back into my account. At this point you lost me.

  • _DaveRandom Chris Wright™ 💉 (@_DaveRandom) reported

    @p0welly @Namecheap anonymity is very important, but the tech to enable anonymity *with* accountability has existed for a very long time - I can think of at least two viable X.509-based approaches to this problem, and that's just one of several potential underlying mechanisms

  • hazj95 Häz 👨‍💻 ✈ 🇫🇮 (@hazj95) reported

    Currently I have several domains with Namecheap. They are great but they do not support .fi domains. Isn't there a global provider that supports every domain and gives mailboxes? Don't want the faff of setting up and managing my own mail server. 2/

  • ShakuKojyu Kojyu (@ShakuKojyu) reported

    @Diverter_NoKYC @RealCTemplar @mullvadnet Did the issue with namecheap get worked out? I should move the domain first before messing with the MX records.

  • DonerWinfield Winfield Doner (@DonerWinfield) reported

    @dottechdomains @Namecheap #MyStartinTech A Timex/Sinclair 1000 computer. With a 9 in b&w tv 8k memory expansion pack and a cheap tape recorder. My brother and I would sit with a magnifying glass to type in the programs very carefully, as one bad vibration would crash the computer and wipe it out.

  • hazj95 Häz 👨‍💻 ✈ 🇫🇮 (@hazj95) reported

    Looking for mailbox recommendations. Currently having issues with Namecheap and doesn't look like the issue can be resolved. Outgoing emails seem to fail with Outlook email addresses. I have three mailbox plans. What I really want is one place for all domains and mailboxes. 1/

  • reallyninja Really Ninja (@reallyninja) reported

    Thinking of sending invoices to companies like @Namecheap who make things unnecessarily complicated then take forever to support. Like we're going on about €60 for my time so far dude and counting...

  • WilfSplodNokit Richie (@WilfSplodNokit) reported

    Hey @NameCheap. #AccessiBe is a third party which intercepts and manipulates my data on your site. Deploying the AccessiBe overlay you would be violating EU/UK GDPR regulation. I've had no updated customer terms, I refuse my permission, so please remove it from my experience

  • clukawski thinkpad dropper 🦏 (@clukawski) reported

    @Namecheap Yeah as software developer this is an input sanitization problem and not a problem with my web browser But also as someone who had to enter an address several times until the checkout process liked it, that was also obvious.

  • blessin71448664 vivian (@blessin71448664) reported

    @gjcourt @Namecheap Hello I think Contacting their support is just a waste of time I had the same issue with my account I tried contacting their support and i got no reply so I got referred to recovery_recovery_account on Instagram and within 30 minutes he got the issues resolved he’s fast

  • Poly_S_S Polymorph Security (@Poly_S_S) reported

    @NCSC With yourselves naming Namecheap top phishing provider and their clear lack of intent to take down malicious domains are there plans to do anything about this or just let them carry on?

  • twnewtw Twnewtw (@twnewtw) reported

    @Namecheap From **** godaddy

  • TheRealTeeMarie Tee Marie (@TheRealTeeMarie) reported

    @Namecheap can you all fix your site please

  • amdev83 Aaron Marks 🥫🏳‍🌈 (@amdev83) reported

    @GeecheeThreat @Namecheap I am still considering a complete redo of all my passwords but... damn that it tedious - especially with this Moonlander keyboard. LOL
