  • temitopeakin T'megha™...Da Software Craftsman 🖥️⚡⚓ (@temitopeakin) reported

    For me @Namecheap has one of the best customer care support... they've been right on time 👍

  • pHequals7 pH (@pHequals7) reported

    @narayananh @Namecheap You can shift your DNS manager to any other service (cloudflare/aws) by just adding their respective nameservers into the custom DNS tab in namecheap

  • narayananh Narayanan Hariharan (@narayananh) reported

    @bargava @Namecheap And their service quality :)

  • JackAnd03401119 Jack Anderson (@JackAnd03401119) reported

    While it's nice that NameCheap is improving, let's not give them medals for *finally* making initial steps to resolve a major problem that they never should have allowed in the first place. @NamecheapCEO please do not expect one positive-spin article to appease your critics.

  • richloyalty Rich Jones (@richloyalty) reported

    @namecheap why do I ALWAYS get kicked off my Namecheap hosted domain after 3 or 4 page loads? It's been happening for a long time now and it's at the point where I can't log in to a Wordpress backend because my connection to the server goes down after I enter the 2-factor code

  • TheGuySwann Guy Swann 🌋 🇸🇻 (@TheGuySwann) reported

    How does @BitPay still not support #Lightning? What a joke. Hey @Namecheap if you need any help with getting Lightning operating on @BtcpayServer let me know. Would love to help & it would REALLY simplify my life.

  • Bat_lift_off maximuseneca (@Bat_lift_off) reported

    @Namecheap It's a loop. No help

  • temitopeakin T'megha™...Da Software Craftsman 🖥️⚡⚓ (@temitopeakin) reported

    @Namecheap I have sent all credentials of the initial source, and I've chatted like I can't count the number of times with @Namecheap customer support on this issue...my mails are all around your email..

  • karlsaintlucy karl saint juicy (@karlsaintlucy) reported

    This domain name was gifted to me by a client. Every single other .live domain name I have cost less than $10 a year and I get better customer support from @Namecheap

  • AskNimesh Nimesh Madushanka (@AskNimesh) reported

    Used @Namecheap for several years. Not anymore! Their support is taking almost forever to solve simple issues. It is not settling issues 'somehow'. A couple of times had to stay in the queue for 3hrs. And their shared hosting, Gross! Wouldn't recommend it! Good Time is over!

  • AskNimesh Nimesh Madushanka (@AskNimesh) reported

    @Namecheap And your support reached out to me and offered 2 weeks of free hosting! Yes, 2 weeks of free hosting for all the trouble I went through! You gotta do a lot better than that! If you think money can make things right, then you are dead wrong!

  • HSAFTeam HS-AFTeam (@HSAFTeam) reported

    @Namecheap Hello @Namecheap How is going the issue? Fraudulent website against Mango entity is active but fraudulent domain name is active. Please disable fraudulent domain name registered by you to stop #phishing website. Regards

  • richloyalty Rich Jones (@richloyalty) reported

    Can anyone recommend a decent hosting company that isn't GoD*ddy? I've been using @Namecheap for years and I'm sick of their poor performance and terrible customer service

  • RazoesSergio S.R (@RazoesSergio) reported

    @b00bzie @malwrhunterteam @namesilo Domains are controlled by registrars. Like namecheap and namesilo and godaddy. The thing is the way the web was built, it was designed to be decentralized, neutral and hard to censor. There is no central control for this. This poses a problem for scamming/phishing/etc.

  • ncdave4life Dave Burton ❌ (@ncdave4life) reported

    @BrianEJRose @ClnHz Probably NameCheap, though most of mine are still at GoDaddy. For DNS, ZoneEdit is good (and free for the first few domains). I prefer to not use a hosting provider's DNS, because using their DNS makes it potentially harder to switch providers without outage.

  • agowa338 Klaus Frank (@agowa338) reported

    . @Namecheap So I have to whitelist the CG-Nat device of my ISP? Doesn't sound secure. Will you add IPv6 support to the API? Whitelisting IP You should whitelist at least one IP before your API access will begin to work. Please keep in mind that only IPv4 addresses can be used

  • danclipca Dan Clipca (@danclipca) reported

    @daeyoungchoi @NianticHelp I feel this is trying to be more professional. I have never seen a tech support that just gets **** done apart of @Namecheap.

  • TInstitutional Throwaway Institutional (@TInstitutional) reported

    @Proportionatty @Outputintern We can **** **Namecheap**. They have record of hosting phishing sites and malware sites. Facebook sued it recently.

  • DannyNemer Danny Nemer (@DannyNemer) reported

    @NamecheapCEO I’m terribly disappointed with Namecheap. I bought a domain, you charged my credit card, and then you locked my account w/o explanation. All 3 support reps are unresponsive for 8+ days. Either give me what I bought or return my money. Otherwise, this is theft.

  • ollah_ullah Saleem (@ollah_ullah) reported

    @alexan_dev namecheap .cheap and quality service

  • marcokoskinen Watch Maker (@marcokoskinen) reported

    @richloyalty @Namecheap I "run" wordpress with "SiteGround". Never had any problems.

  • richloyalty Rich Jones (@richloyalty) reported

    @Namecheap No thanks. I've been through this a few times now. Your customer support is consistently terrible and dismissive of my problems and, considering how much I pay, I am completely over it. That said, I know you're just running socials for them and I hope you have a good day :)

  • DamilareAdejoro ¿ (@DamilareAdejoro) reported

    Why is namecheap saying my card doesnt support this type of purchase. Ffs, I already registered for a secure code @FirstBankngr @FBN_help

  • TeedyanTV Peter (@TeedyanTV) reported

    If hosting a site on #Netlify, is it worth it to go for their DNS service or should I go for a 3rd party domain provider like Google Domain or #Namecheap? I'm worried about changing hosting service in the future and then the DNS is locked into Netlify I guess? #webdevelopment

  • onlinestratfr David Chelly (@onlinestratfr) reported

    @malwrhunterteam good to hear that Namecheap has always been a safe place for scammers, spammers, cybersquatters and so on. The company itself used to have such bad practices in its ADN.

  • temitopeakin T'megha™...Da Software Craftsman 🖥️⚡⚓ (@temitopeakin) reported

    Hey @Namecheap , how long does it take to determine the parameters to migrate hosting , I've been on this issue since morning, and I've been asked to send some info as regards Cpanel url, Cpanel username and password.

  • kingsleytips Mr. Kingsley | The Affiliate Coach (@kingsleytips) reported

    Pick a good Affiliate product that pays recurring monthly commissions like Namecheap Promote it When someone signs up with Namecheap using your link, you earn from that sale as long as he remains a customer of Namecheap And because Namecheap is a great product...

  • VernonStrayhorn Vernie Mac (@VernonStrayhorn) reported

    @Namecheap hello, I am desperately trying to gain access to my online account to renew my domain but the email address associated is no longer active. is there anybody who can help me out? my domain is now expired and now my site is down as an effect

  • richloyalty Rich Jones (@richloyalty) reported

    @Namecheap Yes. And they just dismiss me saying that as far as they can tell, the site is up. The problem is based on my IP address. If I turn on a VPN the page loads again with no problem. And then it kicks me off after a few page loads

  • heyiamAC Alejandra Cienfuegos (@heyiamAC) reported

    Do you use PR as a #marketingstrategy? According to @DerekMusso on @Namecheap Expert-Summit, consumers are more likely to trust a journalist or a blogger than a paid ad 🗣 It makes sense right? This is highly important for the consideration stage in the Customer Journey ✓✓
