    @Namecheap has probably the worst customer support I've ever had to deal with. I've been locked out of my account and haven't gotten a single reply to any of the emails I've sent.

    @milanm_ @levelsio @Cloudflare To add here, since CFs offices are in France, they overcomply with every bs EU request, even if you host a service that is US only. They won't do that for the content part, so namecheap registar + CF dns + CF CDN is actually best of both worlds combo.

    @Namecheap What did you find? based on the hundreds of domains it creates weekly on your service.

    @receipts_lol But people are praying attention. I've been a lifelong namecheap customer but after what they did to you guys I've moved everything to porkbun

    @TTrimoreau Cloudflare Registrar if your TLD is supported β€” at-cost pricing (literally no markup), best DNS control, DNSSEC built in, zero upsells. Namecheap otherwise. Free WhoisGuard, clean UI, rarely issues. GoDaddy is a trap β€” they charge 3x and count on you not noticing at renewal.

    @Arfness @1grid_hosting Just been through the drama of moving client domains away from NameCheap (in protest of their pro-Zionist BS). I need to find a home for novelty TLDs that Xneelo doesn't support. Can you recommend anything?

  • adelbucetta
    Adel Bucetta (@adelbucetta) reported

    @rozzabuilds usually buy from registrar first, then use a registrar-agnostic service like cloudflare for namecheap or google domains. don't need another middleman between me and my registrars

  • TheTrunkTales
    The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported

    @Namecheap So, you are not going to take action against the domain simply because it removed the subdomain? The root domain is the threat, and it continues to create subdomains with this content. This is not an isolated issue.

  • MattReinholz
    Matthias Reinholz (@MattReinholz) reported

    Interesting side-fact: they say the issue was about DNSSEC. However, in contrast to .com, @Namecheap doesn't let me configure DNSSEC for .de domains (not because of the current issue but generally). @grok does DENIC use a different layer/method of DNSSEC that doesn't allow configuring it on the registry level?

    If @Namecheap had a **** I would be sucking it rn because how good their service is.

  • John_ACW
    John van Rijck (@John_ACW) reported

    Does @Namecheap pay their support team based on the amount of minutes they're in an active chat or what? Every support chat opens with: "Please allow me 10-12 minutes to check" Terrible support

  • DeepCantCode
    DeepCantCode (@DeepCantCode) reported

    Guys, I genuinely need help 😭 I need to buy a domain. Is Namecheap really worth it? The renewal prices are kinda high… and Porkbun feels the same. Any better domain registrar with low renewal prices and overall cheaper costs? I'm broke πŸ’€

    Me: 19:05:35 Hey Namecheap odd IP address access NC: 20:06:15 IP address provided earlier does not belong to our service NC: 20:27:17 Yes, the IP address does not belong to our company.

    My domain has become too expensive I can't afford it (it wasn't that much when I bought it in 2023, it's getting expensive with each year) soo, I'm thinking of switching domains, and using cloudflare this time not namecheap but I'm gonna lose all my seo progress damn, idk what do you think guys?

    @FrancescoCiull4 How is Namecheap nowadays? I dropped them a while back as prices went up and quality down.

    Godaddy is a **** I should have gone with hostinger or namecheap My site is down after 2 days of getting it …even after successfull verification 😀 No support, no person available… poor service @GoDaddy

  • AndrewWarner
    Andrew Warner (@AndrewWarner) reported

    Goodbye SquareSpace. Finally! I've hated having my wife's site on Squarespace. Some consultant set her up with it and I never had the patience to move it. On Sunday I told Claude Code to copy her site to a free @Cloudflare acount. Then I told Claude's Chrome plugin to figure out how to tell NameCheap where to point the domain. So satisfying.

    @GLAsk1d @Namecheap I got one domain taken down, it was a different registrar though. Namecheap doesn't appear to want to play ball.

    @Namecheap that security ticket is with bluehost, not you (thankfully). But 3.5hrs on chat to ID an IP is way too much. and that came after they reviewed the info I provided?? 🀯 I could easily rate this as the worse experience I had with your service!

    @Namecheap @Emiliosantoss_ @omarvvvr Don't forget about the 7+ Hour (ongoing) outage with DNS changes. Thats a big seller

  • mrhobbeys
    Spencer Heckathorn (@mrhobbeys) reported

    @BacLeodiv Everyone hates on Godaddy but I e been there 20 years and only had one major issue related to their migration in the early 2010s. Hundreds of domains and 40ish customers. No complaints. I also use the others. Namecheap is up and down on their support. Cloudflare I thought of as expensive. But honestly they all are now.

  • stilleclectic
    CAPED CRUSADERπŸ¦‡ (@stilleclectic) reported

    @matthansbello Sigh, everything was originally done on namecheap but I’ve now just moved the dns to cloudflare. Waiting to see if that fixes the issue

  • elephnaburky
    elena (@elephnaburky) reported

    @ChrisProd_ @Echotheglitch8 What Glitch is probably doing right now is probably consulting with the Registrar (NiceNIC, which they also don't use. Glitch uses Tucows, Namecheap, and GoDaddy) to get the domain taken down. Or, they might not be doing anything. Who knows.
