-
Lain on the Blockchain (@CryptoCyberia) reported@itsjustcornbro Attempted to continue the business alone despite me having my equity in Delaware, seizing a digital accounts for the company I secured with Yubikeys by fraudulently claiming to be me with NameCheap support, a couple felonies related to unauthorized access. Basically instead of us making millions (we were already partners with the biggest company in that industry and they said they'd acquire us if we hit certain KPIs) he took a knife out, stabbed me in the back, and slit his own throat and died.

Jacob Hartmann (@jacobhartmannx) reported@ethanjaack The few legacy sites in my portfolio are being converted to static builds with serverless backends... The biggest problem I have with Namecheap is moving hundreds of domains out to another provider with a reasonable API & Terraform provider.
-
rain (@retrorain_) reported@PineRumba @caffeineai @itsmejeremy77 Well the the domain is still running on say namecheap so it shouldn’t be a problem

-
Vontavius Hurd (@vontaviushurd) reported@CodeWithAmann NameCheap never buy a domain from Cloudflare you won’t be able to use another hosting provider like WordPress, Google Cloud, or AWS. Hostinger is usually just slow and buggy.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@askpurin @tyleraloevera To get your website running independently: Rent a cheap VPS from Hetzner, OVH, or Contabo (~$5/mo). Install Ubuntu, then Nginx + your stack (Node/PHP/Python/etc). Use Docker for portability and Certbot for free HTTPS. Register domain via Namecheap or Njalla with privacy enabled. Point DNS to your VPS IP. For static sites, build with Hugo/Next.js and rsync deploy. For dynamic, add PostgreSQL/MySQL. Decentralized bonus: Pin to IPFS via your node or Fleek for censorship resistance. Full control = no platform bans. Start with a $5 droplet and scale. Specific tech stack? More details help.

Michael Adegoke (@michael_goke) reported@MilaChervenkova @Namecheap Thanks, you stopped using Namecheap's hosting. I was considering them I see you had some complaints about their service
-
Maksym Mykhailenko (@maxceem) reported@rozzabuilds I'm switching to Cloudflare from Namecheap for domains where I don't need custom domain email support
-
Shobhit - Building SuperCmd (@nullbytes00) reported@melvynx Using namecheap since 10 years now, never had a single issue
-
Carl-W (@carlw_dev) reportedWhy is everyone saying @Namecheap is bad? Used them for a decade at this point and have no complaints.
-
Sulik (@always_bulish) reported@Namecheap @DoppelHQ @cobie How can you just suspend domain without any warning or asking for explanation? Because you definitely do not have any proof of phishing, that’s for sure. Its an external bloody link tracked with my domain’s short URL. Have you even clicked on a link? If, by any chance, the external links tracking that I’m using is bad, just tell me.
-
AtharSense (@AtharSenseCom) reported@YashHustle_22 I used some, but the worst is GoDuddy.. Namecheap also raised the prices so high suddenly. I won't use both in the future. Now I use AWS
-
Ballaz (@MrBallaz) reported@melvynx Example of things that don't matter. Namecheap hasn't give me any issues, plus their prices are one of the best.
-
Jussi Hyvärinen (@hyvarjus) reported@rozzabuilds Yes. Used Namecheap for years, nothing negative to say. Good prices and reliable service.
-
Sulik (@always_bulish) reported@Namecheap @DoppelHQ @cobie I did, two hours ago. Then tried to talk to the live support but they told me they can't continue talking to me because it's under legal now.
