    During the outage, emails were inaccessible and external senders received bounce-backs. I tested from Gmail and Yahoo. A client also received a bounce-back. Namecheap’s CEO @HilanKlein publicly acknowledged the email outage and said affected emails may be delayed. 2/4

    @justdevopsguy @Namecheap I'm sorry we let you down. Unfortunately, we had a couple of global outages that coincided with the migration. The product is stabilized. Yet this is definitely not the level of product quality you deserve.

    @Namecheap support is being absolutely impossible today!Shut down our domain & no matter that we gave them the credit card on file & other things, they won't help us get in to restore. won't even let us give them a card to turn it back on! do NOT use them for domain registry!

    Just bought a couple more domains while I’m still negotiating the sale of an older one. Time to build something new. This one is more physics related. No idea what it becomes yet. I’ve just been going down a rabbit hole of light, electromagnetics, hardware, space, and a bunch of things I barely understood a few weeks ago. Only one way to find out where it goes. Keep building. Thanks @Namecheap

    @alexneyret @Namecheap Well said! Datacenter issues are out of a hosting companies control when collocating. While downtime is never fun, these things can happen unfortunately & from what I’ve seen, NameCheap communicated throughout it all & even sent staff onsite to expedite the recovery process.

    @Namecheap It’s surely not only an interface change. - It is slow - Editing appointments doesn't work intermittently - Can not view attachments without downloading unlike before - Appointment doesn't go through Schedule a call with me, will show you all for free.

    @Porkbun @spaceship @Namecheap 3/ Secure free privacy Never pay an extra $10/year for "WHOIS Privacy Protection." Good registrars bundle this for free. Turn it on immediately to hide your phone number and email. If you don't, your phone will be flooded with spam within 60 seconds.

    @Namecheap someone is impersonating our company using a domain that is very similar to ours. They are scamming influencers while using our company name. I reported this to your abuse team 7 days ago. no response. Can someone get back to us ASAP and take this domain down?

    @NamecheapCEO 14+ hours of business email disruption. Emails bounced. Business impacted. Namecheap’s compensation? $10. Yes, $10. Does @Namecheap seriously believe this demonstrates accountability to a small business after a major infrastructure outage?

    At this point, I think Namecheap is rage baiting me o. Wtf 🥴 I’ve searched for over 50 names with dot com, and I keep getting “taken”, “registered since **** “ And when I visit those url, it’s 404. No website for them but it’s taken. How 😭 Is it coincidence that people have thought of these names too or something is broken somewhere?

    @NamecheapCEO A few days on, and @Namecheap still hasn’t addressed the fundamental issue. 14+ hours of business email disruption. Emails bounced. Business communications were affected. I gave Namecheap every opportunity to resolve this privately. Thread 🧵 1/3

    Ok this will sound like a hyperbole post but it’s not I have been using Instinct, the new AI assistant and it just found me ~$700/yr in subscriptions I forgot I was paying for. Real things it did: • Audited my Gmail and mapped every recurring subscription: ~$290/mo I wasn’t fully tracking • Found a “Universal TV Remote” app billing me $5.99 PER WEEK. That’s $311/yr for a remote app. Killed • Cancelled my AARP auto-renewal end to end: logged in, navigated the account, verified the confirmation screen • Flagged that my AAA membership ($121/yr) was duplicative because Geico already covers roadside. Cancelled that auto-renewal too • Caught a domain auto-renewing for $76 the next day and turned it off in Namecheap the night before • Found Suno at $30/mo I barely used. Downgraded to $10 • Sends me my kid’s school lunch menu every night at 7pm without me asking • Told me my car needed an emissions test before tag renewal, and that the deadline falls on my birthday. Saved a wasted trip • Built and deployed a tic tac toe game to my Netlify in ~10 min • Deployed a directory of 46 personal site previews to my Netlify • Designed 4 creative directions for my sister’s film studio site, then built the full site on the winner • Pulled my Netlify team ID from my personal account when I needed it Total: ~$700/yr in zombie subscriptions gone, plus a few hours of errands I never did. The underrated part isn’t the doing. It’s that it noticed things and proactively suggested what to do. Plus the UX was chef’s kiss This is about instinct. co, the app that’s all the rage on X lately Not a sponsored post nor am I an investor just a fan and early user

    @Porkbun @spaceship @Namecheap 5/ The India Payment Problem 🇮🇳 Most top developer-recommended platforms (like Porkbun or Spaceship) offer great pricing but don't support native UPI. If your debit card lacks international enabling, your purchase will instantly fail. Don't let that stall your launch! Platforms that actually support UPI to lock down your name instantly: • GoDaddy India: Massive support for UPI, great initial promos, but watch out for intense checkout up-sells! • Hostinger India: Highly reliable local billing, excellent speeds, and clean UPI QR codes at checkout.

    @Namecheap Okay...immensely dislike your "new platform." Where are my previous folders? I had many of them - where are they!? How do you reduce the size of the e-mails horizontally to be able to quickly delete, forward, or respond? And your "help center" - where is live chat?

    @UK_Daniel_Card See they had disaster recovery and their compliance standards said it had to be at a separate site. So they likely figured well, upstairs on the second floor is *basically* another site, I mean it’s a different location altogether, one has one set of coordinates and the other another. Besides their data centers are SOCII compliant meaning they have *environmental and power redundancy* because they care. Mostly they care about looking like they care though. Auditors came by, but they mostly had beers and didn’t give a ****, see they’re incentivized to not give a **** because a clean audit means they’ll be hired again. they’re totally independent, but the beers were good and their business depends on the one massive client. They of course made note of the DR situation, but namecheap accepted the risk by signing a paper and pinky swearing it would totally be fixed soonish at some point probably. This is my literal experience with compliance audits. They’re a joke. The bit about namecheap only using SOCII compliant data centers is real btw. So what happened? An abundant lack of competence.
