    I used to be awful at buying domains at the drop of a hat. If I had any sort of idea whatsoever I'd run to namecheap and buy a domain straight away! Phew. And then not do any work on it.

    @Namecheap Your blog is not the right way to communicate with your users. I don't think it will cost you anything to send an email. Cyber security is a big problem now, you just don't do things just because you can. I'm disappointed.

    @Namecheap pls mention on website below domains auto-renewal section "your domain will be renewed 30 days before expiry", it will help people like us.

    @Namecheap I've had a risk management ticket open for being locked out of my account for two days with zero activity. Asked support to escalate but still nothing.

    Kindly email me the Backup zip let me bid you guys farewell. At the main time , Namecheap service is 1/5 rating .

    Going forward I @namecheap is not a hosting service I will recommend. I think it's wrong for @Namecheap to auto-install a WordPress plugin on the website of their customers without their consent. If you want me to install a plugin, you have to inform me. Your approach is crazy.

    @Namecheap Hi. I have been trying to get a redirect working for several days now. Could you check again please? You'll see it is still not working. I have it configured per your supports recommendation.

    @Namecheap My domain was renewed 30 days before it's expiry date and denied refund on request but yes after so many request you accepted my request. Thank you for that. I really appreciate your customer support but this is not correct it took me more than 30 minutes.

    There's nothing quite as validating as struggling with a service, scrolling to the comments section, and discovering that everyone else hates it too. NameCheap SSL setup, I'm looking at you.

    Someone stole my @Namecheap, it isn't what it used to be - the point of this is to make it accessible. It is a great place but I can't pay for the yearly service, why are you so expensive if your name is Namecheap?

  • trevordhough
    Trevor Hough (@trevordhough) reported

    @Namecheap I did…they were no help and told me everything was fine so I came here to beg for more help. Should I just migrate the domain to a provider that can help me instead?

    @cryptobeaver3 @Namecheap Oh wow, look at that. The site was hosted with them as well and they took down the site if you took the time to look at the reply by them. Instead of posting your tweet.

    @Namecheap @GoDaddy I accept your apology but you have lost a customer. I have no confidence in your ability to assist if there is an actual problem with using your product. I got the email from customer support.

    Dear @Namecheap I received a mail but my account is still locked and my site down. Please do the needful Thanks

  • howdyshubham
    Shubham 🇮🇳 (@howdyshubham) reported

    @Namecheap What if we don't check emails? Don't just notify, mention it below the domain auto-renewal button. How can you renew a domain 30 days before expiry and deny to cancel renewal. Anything you write in your policy is not law. It can be considered as scam or fraud as well.

    @Namecheap @Namecheap I have been trying to get these Dan settings working for over a week now and still nothing. It’s not a “local isp” issue. There is something not working with your dns. Please advise and help

    Just saying, @Namecheap (and not even simply a random employee, but the CEO himself) is the only single registrar/hosting company that contacted us & made it possible to directly talk with their head people / shift leaders, in order to take down stuff quickly - all day, everyday.

    I actually had a "We've got your parcel, pay us now" smishing text where the dodgy URL *wasn't* hosted on Namecheap. Knock me down with a feather.

    @Namecheap How can you renew a domain 30 days before expiry and deny to cancel renewal. Anything you write in your policy is not law. It can be considered as cheat, scam or fraud as well.

    All my websites hosted on @Namecheap are down for the last 1 hour, and no response from customer support. It was a big mistake to rely on @Namecheap. Now going to try digitalocean #hosting #hostingprovider

    Hey @Namecheap we have a rather urgent situation with our account that was shutdown. It’s in risk management but they are unresponsive. We have an API integration that depends on that account. Can you help us out ASAP?

    @malwrhunterteam @Namecheap I've been actively following a scam for a while and when I report a domain via DM on twitter they take on average 2-5 minutes to take it down saving a lot of people from getting scammed. Sincerely, all the praise they get is 100% deserved!
