-
... (@irucsbo) reported@NamecheapCEO I used Namebase (owned by @Namecheap) to manage my funds. Three months ago, you sold the platform without notifying your clients. Since Namecheap sold the platform, I have lost access to my funds, and this issue has now been ongoing for more than three months.

Priyangu Patel (@patelpriyangu) reported@PratikSinhatwt Namecheap I use which is the best in pricing and support.

exitLife (@imsmokingloud) reported@not_puppycat ugh no idea i just bought the domain from namecheap.. do u know how i can fix it ;-;
-
Christine Harrington (@savvysaleslady) reportedMy domain was shut down by @GoDaddy on May 10th. No idea why & the domain was paid up for a year back in Feb. 2026. I’ve called twice a day trying to get this resolved with GoDaddy. Absolutely a waste of my time. I moved the domain today to @Namecheap but GoDaddy is now taking 5-7 days to initiate the transfer. I’ve reached out to @GoDaddyHelp numerous times with no response. Can you imagine providing such poor service?
-
QARTIFY (@QArtify28) reported@vivoplt Namecheap is good, but if you want best service after purchase, GoDaddy
-
🇬🇱🇦🇸🇰🇮🇩 (@GLAsk1d) reported@TheTrunkTales @Namecheap Not at my PC rn so I can't check, but those all resolved to a login portal? 😳
-
Qirisiti Returns (@QirisitiReturns) reported@Namecheap the automatic billing system accepted the stellar hosting and declined the domain and refunded 22 usd to my account, after talking to the support i was told i was supposed to choose reactivation not renewal the money reflected today I was earger to pay for the domain
-
Dr. Simon Taki Zaku, D.B.A (@realsimonzaku_) reportedWhat tools do I need to start? You usually need a domain, hosting, professional website, clear service pages, founder profile, testimonials, analytics, business email, payment route, content plan, and strong WhatsApp or contact funnel. Tools like Namecheap, DreamHost, Hostinger, Geegpay, ClickMeeting, and CartFlows can support the system when used with a clear strategy.

Polyvalent kaizen 🀄️ (@0xKachi) reportedIs namecheap hosting down? My websites won’t load
-
Panqueque AF (@panfuckingcakes) reported@JeremySCook @notdan @Namecheap Came here to say this. Never have to worry about domain suspension lol
-
Baber Rizvi (@BaberRizvi) reported@Namecheap @NamecheapCEO It's been almost a week now since my business websites are down because my namecheap server is down and support team can't even turn on the server so my team can connect to bring my sites back up. Who will be responsible for my business losses. I hope someone from namecheap will show some courage and at least turn on the server which I am paying for. Also there is no phone number to call and speak to someone so only way to communicate is either email or chat. Such a horrible service they don't care what it means to a business which heavily rely on website and it's been down for this long.

Milan (@milanm_) reported@levelsio @Cloudflare I don't like Namecheap neither (their DNS setup sometimes causes my browser to freeze). But so far all domain providers I tried were generally ****, so I kind of made peace with the fact that they all suck. Why is @Cloudflare different?
-
David Maigari (@maigari_david) reported@Aditya_181105 Namecheap is a good one. Great customer support, too.
-
GhostyTongue ツ (@Gh0styTongue) reportedIf @Namecheap had a **** I would be sucking it rn because how good their service is.
-
Andrew Warner (@AndrewWarner) reportedGoodbye 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.
-
Steve Bailey (@stevebaileyseo) reportedThe most powerful thing a platform can do is make you feel like you don't need your guard up. Namecheap does that. Not by promising the world. By just... not being awful.
-
Greg Lynch (@g_tone_) reported@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?
-
Mehmet Ali Demirci (@malidemirci_gm) reported@Namecheap unable to solve CDN and slow site problems for over two days!
-
Essam (@EssamOptNames) reported@Karakehayov Spaceship is the best, namecheap and Afternic are the worst.
-
The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@RealTripleA I know exactly what happened. I cc'd the "host" and they took it down to prevent Namecheap from seeing it. Won't give them the heads up next time.
-
based64 (@based64_eth) reported@faa0311 Whatever you do stay away from @Namecheap. Once they had an issue with SMS OTP and users were locked out for months with no recourse.
-
Kingsley Ibietela Felix (@Iamkingsleyf) reported@adahstwt Namecheap, first on the list should never be there
-
Insignificant Developer (@insigdev) reported@tomilola_ng Namecheap sucks though 😭 Namecheap VPS is just Hostinger in a different coat. Low initial cost, ridiculous renewal prices as well, and a predatory domain expiration pipeline that funnels your forgotten domains straight to their marketplace auctions.
-
Shawn (@shawn_dot_so) reported@elgermerlo @GoDaddy @Cloudflare GoDaddy isn’t even a consideration for me.. it’s Cloudflare first place or namecheap for TLDs that Cloudflare doesn’t support yet
-
ChiseledCactus | Analyst (@chiseledcactus) reported@deanelazab @YayJayBae Hello! If it helps, it looks like it's running via cloudflare servers, and registered via "Namecheap". It still lists "Mediadroid LTD UK", with a "Jonathan hassall, but was dissolved a while back, so this is all sorts of shady. I imagine twitch and YouTube wouldn't be too happy with them continuously scraping content and causing issues, yeah? But is that even an option to try and rally to them?
-
Chidi inyama (@chidimarvel) reported@RaenestApp trying to make a payment on namecheap, getting insufficient balance error when there are funds on my card. Please what is going, your support has not replied livechat for hours
-
Sahil Jaiswal (@Sahil_Jaiswal02) reportedGodaddy 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
-
The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@GLAsk1d @Namecheap I shut it down for the night after I posted the thread. I'll get it up tomorrow. Ping me if you don't see me posting it before lunch.
-
Saud Ilyas (@saud_ilyas) reportedFor the first time in 10 years, I moved the .io domain out of Namecheap to save $25 on renewal lol; never thought of moving any of the 2k+ domains I've managed with Namecheap for years. 3x the price is unjustifiable. Could potentially save up to $10k a year by moving every single one to Cloudflare on renewal. But that’s a very big headache doing one by one, so i’ll pass for now!
-
Jack Robert (@neutronmesh) reported@chrisjfranko @Namecheap Seriously, I pick today to change MX records and this thing has been down for hours.
