Lg Shurley (@SurelyLg) reported@Namecheap #namecheap lost thousands of dollars today due to bad business. They refused to refund a purchase they made a mistake on. This violates a sacred covenant between business & customer. They are unethical and have forgotten what it means to appreciate a customer.#ethics

solopath (@pathlessknown) reportedlikely some rules about extensions vs letter count i've seen namecheap do sketchy stuff too over the years but it likely an issue with the code not the company itself

Brian Lee Mayes ✞ ❞𝓢𝓲𝔁❞ 𝓢𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓛𝓮𝓮 (@BrianLeeMayes) reported@Namecheap Namecheap used to offer easy choices between 3rd party, now it's all convoluted. I have some research to do. Perhaps a service that doesn't outsource their tech support with people that don't know anything, except how to search a database. Adios, farewell.
-
AI SaaS Launchpad (@AISaaSLaunchpad) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC (.de registry) handles transfers differently than gTLDs—it requires real-time authcode validation via a direct registry connection, which Namecheap's backend integration doesn't support for inbound moves. The workaround is transferring to a registry with direct DENIC support (like Porkbun or Hetzner) and pointing DNS to Namecheap.

Shilpi Agrawal (@shilpiagrawal55) reported@_swanand vaguely familiar with dns enough to get my work done. Had added Custom vercel DNS on namecheap (now that i open namecheap and see). Did this few months ago so no recollection except i dont remember having issues with it. Have two custom domains added on Vercel.

TomorrowsBrands (@SeeBrands) reported@katerleonid godaddy have a few of my .cns but namecheap i have most on. i like namecheaps backend, and how easy it is to change dns etc.... and on having reseller hosting from them, everything is streamlined. Namecheap also has very good support. not sales people like i found on godaddy.

Christina Panina (@ChristinaPanin1) reported@justdevopsguy @Namecheap We dug deeper: a network hiccup occurred on ~0.005% of accounts, including yours, causing a longer 20 min delay. You saw a temporary migration lock to maintain account integrity. The lock lifted automatically afterward. Our team is also fixing load spikes that may cause slowness.

Joseph Miclaus (@josephmiclaus) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap Didn't know this. Maybe they can do it manually through support?

Adomainer (@Azmaldomainer) reported@Namecheap auction is getting more and more suspicious. So many domains are getting auctioned more than once with the second highest bidder (in many cases) being an account that never won a single auction previously. Ked(.)ai was auctioned for 4K some days ago. The buyer probably didn't pay and now sold for over 3K with the second highest bidder being an account that never won any auction previously. A similar story happened with AAP(.)ai. The domain was auctioned off and then was back to auction again, which I suspect because the first auction winner didn't pay. However, Namecheap then removed it from auction. As much as I love @spaceship and its products, what is happening at the Namecheap auction is concerning from an investor POV. Another thing, everyday a new account that joined earlier this year (never won any auction) coming to auction and bidding high.

WICK (@lhilwick) reported@anupamrjp I'd probably stick with Namecheap. They've been reliable for me and the support is solid.

Can (@candirgen91) reported@Namecheap @isellgreatideas @Namecheap I received the same phishing email claiming there was a problem with my password. It redirected me to a fake Private Email login page. Many users got this at the same time. Could this indicate a security issue on your side? Please investigate
-
Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported3/7 - The bold part was zero-confirmation delivery. A Bitcoin payment isn't settled until miners include it in a block, roughly 10 minutes at best. Most merchants waited for one to six confirmations. Namecheap activated your purchase the moment the transaction hit the network.

Shant (@ShantDotMe) reported@Namecheap for the love of God, please do train your support agents a bit better. It is NOT OK for your agent to tell users to use an IP address, without a valid SSL certificate, to login!!!

Edgex (@SahilExec) reported@YashHustle_22 I usually go with Namecheap, cheap prices and solid support.
