Dianne B. Dee 🇨🇦 #CanadaStrong (@diannebdee) reportedI've been with @Namecheap since 2010 and I buy all my domains through them. Well, because of a payday issue, I've lost one and I'm not happy. It's now in auction and I likely won't be able to get it back. I had a website attached to it.

Benjamin Thiele (@ESLotherwise) reported@melvynx Never had a single Issue with Namecheap. Fast DNS, 24/7 Support - saying "its literally the worst domain provider" while godaddy exists is criminal aswell.

Sport Fanatic (@SportFanatic365) reported@mittxldesigns I don’t think their domain is with Amazon. My friend who works in Zepto told they had brought the domain from Namecheap. For some reason they took down that domain. So they brought some other domain and has hosted

Kalash (@kalashvasaniya) reportedi bought 2 domains from godaddy 4 from spaceship 2 from netim 1 from namecheap but spaceship pricing and service won my heart (no promotion)
-
Mr. preacher (@Leavemealo86) reportedI pity anyone that plans to use @Namecheap your website won’t last in their hands They’ll say it’s “scam “ then take it down
-
Carl-W (@carlw_dev) reportedWhy is everyone saying @Namecheap is bad? Used them for a decade at this point and have no complaints.
-
Sulik (@always_bulish) reported@DoppelHQ @Namecheap So there you go. Months and month of grinding 16 hours a day trying to build something, gone in a second because of AI halucinated and another AI accepted because it's coming from a big company. I'd appreaciate any help, i don't know @cobie ? Anyone...
-
Melvyn • Builder (@melvynx) reportedDon’t use Namecheap it’s literally the worst domain provider.
-
Zayn Harris (@zayn_harris_dev) reportedIt hurts so much. 🥲 Sharing pitfalls encountered when using Cloudflare @CloudflareHelp domain services + Vercel @vercel wildcard domain configuration: If you have developed a SaaS service and configured a wildcard domain to Vercel's domain configuration, and you are using Cloudflare's domain services, you cannot configure the name server to Vercel. The solution is: if you are using a wildcard domain to provide product services, do not use Cloudflare. Be aware when migrating from other domain services such as namesilo, namecheap, etc., to Cloudflare. Because after migrating, you can only migrate out after 60 days.

MariBear (@Mari_BearR) reportedDamn I really got a steal on namecheap, only $1.18 for the first year (.site)
-
Maksym Mykhailenko (@maxceem) reported@rozzabuilds I'm switching to Cloudflare from Namecheap for domains where I don't need custom domain email support
-
Eric Parfait (@ERP2009) reported@Namecheap are you having issues with Custom DNS? everytime I add nameservers, and hit the save button, I get "OOOPS! Something went wrong, please try again." What is going on with that?
-
Okoye (@techokoye) reported@alll_well @pxxl_space never heard of Namecheap? Some are listed as low as $0.99 .
-
Timothy M. Evans (@timothymevans) reportedOk so I found @Namecheap @namecheapceo123 has .ai backorder service. But they can’t be the only one, can they? 🤔
-
Captain M (@FrankoRover) reportedSo @Namecheap is no longer giving 3 free mailboxes. Damn, we need an alternative solution. You cannot be purchasing domains for 11 USD and pay 70 dollars for mail boxes, we are not in the 90s
-
DYJ (@davidyjeong) reportedan attacker tried to hijack one of our domains as well, here's what happened > i get an email from the domain registrar's abuse department telling me they've approved my request to change the email on my account to contact@<similar domain> > i don't own this other domain and i've never made such a request > within 30 seconds, i emailed back saying i did not make the request > i email namecheap, the registrar for the other domain and report abuse to block STMP/IMAP > i pull out my laptop in the middle of a shopping mall and literally sit on the floor to log in and add in every form of MFA i could > 10 minutes later, the account is locked > i get an email from the registrar effectively saying "ignore the previous email, we didn't change the email yet. we've locked your account, please give us KYC documents" > i go back and forth and provide all the KYC documents they ask for > i confirm that no changes can be made to the domain while it is locked > i create a ticket from the regitrar's contact form from their official website to verify the email thread is legitimate > the account is locked for a week while they verify my documents > we constantly monitor the domain (dig NS <domain> +short) just in case > i threaten to submit an ICANN complaint and tell my users to use a new domain if they don't unlock my account > account unlocked within minutes > currently moving everything to AWS Route 53 PSA - if you're not on AWS, move everything to AWS. if you log into a website with your wallet, make sure to carefully read the authorizations prompt

Temitope (@TemitopeJuba) reported@RaenestApp Your customer care is ignoring me! I made a payment with my virtual card for a Namecheap service. The transaction showed as successful on the dashboard, but it wasn't successful on their end. I made a complaint but still no response. This is scary!
-
Ocean (@itmilkyway) reported@Karakehayov @afternic They should commit if they’re truly building the future of tech identity, just as Dynadot has, with Namecheap and Spaceship close behind. I support .si with the same conviction I had when I first supported .ai in 2018.
-
Ballaz (@MrBallaz) reported@melvynx Example of things that don't matter. Namecheap hasn't give me any issues, plus their prices are one of the best.

Bruno Garcia (@brungarc) reported@Namecheap "Since Jul 24, 2009 (16 years, 256 days ago)" I guess I've been your customer for a minute eh
-
HOLM.ETH (@MVNSONxxx) reported@CryptoNoApes @NamebaseHQ I think Namebase has been as transparent as they can be. Once funds are returned, NB would likely reopen. At this point, it’s on Namecheap to address the user fund issues
