Is Namecheap down?

Amazing support by Ksenia Reshnyuk. Give her a promotion @Namecheap

Lost more domains due to Namecheap's ridiculous renewal setup. Every time I login, I see domains that expired even though I have credit card setup to renew. Farce. Time to move away for good.

@archiebaer @Namecheap @letsencrypt To get support and provide more information to users

@IceMugger @1888TechLine @Namecheap Reported plenty of abuse to them & other hosts over my time, Namecheap happily ignores issues unless they are hosting provider. For some reason they won't prevent illegal activity they can clearly see when they are the registrar of the domain name, because they are not the host

I would like to take a moment to appreciate @Namecheap customer service. Especially Oleg Pogudin, who helped me recover my 8 months of hard work on my website. I had mistakenly deleted all of my content, without taking any backup due to a theme which I had applied.

Because of him, I got each and everything on my website back! And soon I will be upgrading my account, just because of Namecheap's support. Kudos to Oleg!

Interesting that the @Namecheap domain is just a pass thru to, of course, a @tucows domain using @enom. And of course, everything in the WhoIs is redacted for the privacy of the hacker. Curious if they will even take the domain down.

@KyleAnnS @jasminej_i Thanks! Our current theme is breaking all over the place. We use Divi; it broke our store, the post visual builder is a mess, and the site crashes all the time (we use Namecheap as a host and have only started having problems the last 6ish months since the last theme update).

@natfriedman Back when I was part of GitHub education I made an app hosted it in DigitalOcean using the credits that GitHub gave me and also domain from NameCheap. That app became so popularly that I had to shut it down. I hope one day I will pay back GitHub for all that experience. Thank you

I think, if @GoDaddy put their shoulder into it, they could be the worst company in tech. God, they suck. Seriously, you guys, if you need a URL, go to @Namecheap and save yourself a never ending string of hassles.

@kitelikegirlx maybe they can help.. the domain is from namecheap

@Namecheap decided to make their firewall block an IP for 2 or more incorrect IMAP logins. This blocks the whole IP from accessing a website on NC or getting email. When my screen is locked it seems to send a blank username and pw. Another chat with support. #securitytheater

good article which mentions 2 options for alt. email, one being running your own email server, the other using secure hosted email. there is a 3rd option in between the 2 and that is hosted email on your own domain name, a service some domain registrars like Namecheap provide

@savolai @Namecheap In any case here, as I mentioned to you earlier; we are sending you an auto-generated temporary password only. It's basically there to allow your first login so you can update your password. After you do that, there will not be any issues with unencrypted passwords.

@YoboyDaiki @TeamYouTube Yea, a lot of shit been going on, and the root of them all is these 4 websites, Twitter, YT, FB, and namecheap... I tell you in a bit what namecheap did.

@Namecheap any idea when the http 500 errors in your site will go away. Trying to renew an expired domain and can't login..

@Namecheap Your abuse team honestly in fact sucks, They refuse to take down domains that has a DoX of someone. Scams are also never cared about.

@savolai Hi Olli! Helpdesk credentials are required for the Support account only if you decide to contact us via the Live Chat or a ticket using different email address than the one associated with your Namecheap account. Plus, you can check your support history there.

@Namecheap Not sure if the helpdesk credentials are used for anything. Then there's a separate 'support pin'. All this just to get ssh access to actually get the site installed.

Trying out @Namecheap hosting. Separate passwords for normal login, for email, for helpdesk, for cpanel... all sent by unencrypted email :D. Please, get your act together.

@NameCheapCEO The Namecheap firewall constantly blocks my IP even though none of my computers have incorrect login information. I've had support reset it multiple times. I'm now working on migrating off of Namecheap. Please shut down this abusive firewall.

@TheRealAyanaDLT noooooo. I used to but it SUCKS. namecheap is the way to go BY FAR. cheaper and comes with free WHOIS guard (google it if you dont know what that is) and tyty @amberlyrothfield for turning me on to namecheap

@DrScriptt @Sun_Ultra10 @faultywarrior @datashed Originally I had misread that somebody with access to his Namecheap account would need to explicitly accept the donation, rather than the other way around. My bad!

You know @Namecheap your customer service is stellar at 10 but it's also like zero because of the Kayako software...what kind of chatting software can't let you share screenshot, I mean it's 2019! It's so annoying, it's stupid!

@Karthik_Murali @soumna @amibhat @DivsiGupta @wordpressdotcom @TheAccoustic @asoulwindow @masalaboxtravel @antarik @enidhi @artisdiary @parnashree19 @Namecheap I just had a chat with him, they said as the website is built on WordPress directly, they can't support but gave me a article for migrating it myself

@TravelwithSri @soumna @amibhat @DivsiGupta @wordpressdotcom @TheAccoustic @asoulwindow @masalaboxtravel @antarik @enidhi @artisdiary @parnashree19 @Namecheap they'll take care of it.. u just tell them that. everything namecheap support will do it for u free

@TravelwithSri @Karthik_Murali @soumna @DivsiGupta @wordpressdotcom @TheAccoustic @asoulwindow @masalaboxtravel @antarik @enidhi @artisdiary @parnashree19 @Namecheap It's the same for all. There are plugins to help you export the website. I did that from Blogger to bluehost

@HostGator what a crappy Portal you have; can't change DNS, can't unlock a domain for transfer and can't change the contact info on a domain. For all that i have to contact support because the site is ALWAYS giving out errors. Glad i'm migrating to Namecheap

Tech support scam websites often enjoy the hospitality of GoDaddy, AWS and Namecheap. Hosting providers should take abuse reports seriously, and take the reported websites down. Make your voice heard to fight scammers. cc @Kitboga @ScammerRevolts #listenhosts

@GoDaddy @freenome @Namecheap are just a few examples of domain hosts who fail to remove scam websites when reported. Tech support scams, government cloned websites etc. This has to stop immediately. I expect these companies and many more to respond in a more active way.

@Namecheap I did that last time and never heard back seems odd it's listed as the recommended method of 2fa but doesn't seem to work.

@boyzoid Cloudflare for every TLD they support. I still have a few on NameCheap waiting for motivation to outweigh laziness and/or the TLD to be available on Cloudflare. (To be fair, it's been months and maybe they're supported now...)

@TheRayJourney I went with @Namecheap ! Not too expensive and I havent had a single problem so far!

@namecheap can you please get the following #phishing sites offline please hxxps://giffgaff-login.help/ao/auth.html hxxps://giffgaff-support.team/ao/auth.html hxxps://network-giffgaff.support/ggverify/Mygiffgaff.html @Spam404Online

@EcoWildChild I can help you build one if you want. Use namecheap or siteground for hosting.

@sudeep_dk @alex_kaul @Xentagz @Namecheap They don't support segwit, they don't support lightning, they make their users overpay fees...they've attacked bitcoin...what else...I'm sure I'm missing something.

@alex_kaul @Namecheap I think we should keep it positive. But I understand the frustration as they are supporting some very greasy folks even though I’m sure they just wanted to support bitcoin.

@6102bitcoin @BitPay @Namecheap That’s helpful, but I’m willing to bet @Namecheap is more reliable and provides a better service. And they were early bitcoin adopters. We are asking them to be even more charitable to bitcoin, but not so much they lose focus on running a profitable business.

@YourFondestLove @GoDaddy It looks like @Namecheap doesn't support ".be" domains unfortunately

@namecheap I noticed that I stopped receiving emails(via GSuite) on my domain this morning. Had to urgently call Google and they had to re-flush the MX records from the DNS(Namecheap) into the G Suite system to fix it. Not sure how long it was down and how many emails we lost 😡

Good news: I set up a portfolio site for my sister (who’s an art student)!! Bad news: heroku and namecheap don’t work together. I can’t ******* get my custom domain to point to the heroku app and I’m about to throw my computer across the room cause like damn

Please who has used EasyWP on namecheap before. Ejor mo need help!!!!

@iamchearful @Namecheap Private Internet Access do the same crap on their homepage by showing your current IP and ISP name.

Namecheap is a SCAM. They altered my settings to auto-renew WITHOUT my permission. My credit card was charged THOUSANDS of dollars - UNAUTHORISED. I HAD been a loyal customer for YEARS with no problem. The company's REFUSING to refund my money. Will be taking legal action.

@Ipstenu Yeah it's the high latency that surprises me. My dreamhost email forwarding addresses are less cost for much faster turnaround than this (namecheap-provided) service. Unfortunately they only provide IMAP, too

Getting domain expiry emails from namecheap is a constant reminder that every year I create a lot of projects that never come to fruition

@Namecheap okay i wasn't sure if that would work sorry for summoning you by just posting your name over and over, i'm bad about thinking to just open tickets unless i'm asked to

@Namecheap Hopefully....I just spent 10 minutes with someone from your support team via the Namecheap app and she had no idea what an EPP code was. Please don't turn into @GoDaddy

@Namecheap Thanks, keeps happening regardless of what I do, I'll contact support.

@Johnmont Namecheap Please, never use Godaddy.

@NotBeastFox @Namecheap Replying to @NotBeastFox If you're not using privacy protection all registrars are required(except for EU customers) by ICANN to provide whois info that is searchable at any whois service.

@NotBeastFox @Namecheap By they way, if you're not using privacy protection all registrars are required(except for EU customers) to provide whois info that is searchable at any whois service.

@NotBeastFox @Namecheap First off, we have NEVER sold customer data in the almost 20 years we have been in business. Whomever said this to you is making false claims and is most likely a scam artist. Any info you can provide would be appreciated.
