    @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.

    @ravikiran_dev7 Cloudflare Registrar for domains you plan to keep long term. They sell at cost with no markup. Namecheap for anything quick and cheap. GoDaddy only if you need phone support. Avoid renewing with GoDaddy though, the renewal prices are way higher than the initial promo.

    @Namecheap @Emiliosantoss_ @omarvvvr Don't forget about the 7+ Hour (ongoing) outage with DNS changes. Thats a big seller

    @austinginder That's a crazy one! I've seen a number of bad things on GoDaddy as well. Generally try to get clients to move to PorkBun or NameCheap... I'll even help them for free!

    @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

    @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?

    @Namecheap that security ticket is with bluehost, not you (thankfully). But 3.5hrs on chat to ID an IP is way too much. and that came after they reviewed the info I provided?? 🤯 I could easily rate this as the worse experience I had with your service!

  • Gr1zZtv
    Gr1zZ (@Gr1zZtv) reported

    @Onepeg No one should reach out to them, they request your id to verify your the owner to take down content, you should go to their registarar which I beleive is namecheap and file a DMCA with them

    @captn3m0 I got the same email from namecheap. .in domain never had allowed whois protection AFAIK but for some reason the domain contacts where all weird in namecheap. Had to manually correct it. Didn't know the domain would be suspended so soon. one week is too short a period for warning

    Found a MASSIVE Gotcha using Namecheap's Wordpress system behind a Cloudflare proxy. Editors can't login! Can't seem to fix!

    @Namecheap What a pathetic bunch you are! Changed my password now can’t access my account! But making a service request…..I must log into account! But can’t because…..password change not recognised! Eish!

    @sarahskye @RWMaloneMD NameCheap Inc. Is the company name. Look above for domain name. Also its not related to X Corp, making it an issue.

    Hey @Namecheap are we trying to outdo @bluehost as worse customer service?! It has been a month and a week since I opened a security issue ticket with them (and still no reply), but your livechat isn't doing any better atm.

    @pcshipp namecheap Their service is top notch, I had a problem and they solved it right away, they deserve my money @Namecheap

  • MattReinholz
    Matthias Reinholz (@MattReinholz) reported

    Interesting side-fact: they say the issue was about DNSSEC. However, in contrast to .com, @Namecheap doesn't let me configure DNSSEC for .de domains (not because of the current issue but generally). @grok does DENIC use a different layer/method of DNSSEC that doesn't allow configuring it on the registry level?

    @Namecheap has probably the worst customer support I've ever had to deal with. I've been locked out of my account and haven't gotten a single reply to any of the emails I've sent.
