  I’ve usually had very good experiences with @Namecheap and their customer service but today I have been on with a live agent for more than 30 mins and they can’t resolve my issue after wasting my time they are now transferring me to a different department. SMH

  @uwunetes i know godaddy is a scam but why is namecheap bad?

  Shant (@ShantDotMe) reported 11 minutes ago

  @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!

  @Aditya_181105 Namecheap is a good one. Great customer support, too.

  This is the issue. i hope i don't sound entitled. On @Namecheap I had a domain that was expiring in a day, and stellar hosting had already expired. so i added domain renewal and hosting renewal yearly subscription, plus helping services to my cart and paid 45 USD thread..

  @AlfinCodes Namecheap altho I had a bad experience with them and it took time to get resolved. Cloudfare is a better option.

  @Namecheap upon checking my hosting list there was nothing, talking to support they say that i have been refunded stellar, but there is no confirmation email of that. hmm, on the domain they said it was put on auction and i cant access it or recover it

  @Hexangelo5 You are right about that! Pulsechain,com is registered through there, as are lots of other pulsechain project websites. While Namecheap built its brand on privacy advocacy (e.g., fighting for customer data protection in courts), control now sits largely with a Luxembourg-based PE giant whose incentives are financial returns, not ideological privacy maximalism. The registrant data required by ICANN lives in a system where EU corporate oversight meets US legal demands. In an era of rising data breaches, surveillance, and regulatory flux, relying on any large registrar under PE ownership means trusting opaque boardroom decisions with your identity footprint. Diversifying to independent or privacy-first alternatives reduces single points of failure.

  I am the owner of Azure subscription and tenant. After moving my verified domain from GoDaddy to NameCheap, I am now completely locked out of this subscription and tenant. I cannot log in or access any resources. I no longer need this subscription or any of its resources (already replaced) . I would like to permanently cancel and delete the entire subscription (including all associated resources, databases, Key Vaults, etc.) to close this account cleanly. @AzureSupport

  @Namecheap Almost a day 'fighting' with your tech team about port 80 blocked (VPS). Proof: fresh installs, external tests, logs — packets time out externally on :80 while :8080 works! Your team just points back at me. Can someone from your network/infra team really look at this?

  @adahstwt I think namecheap is best but their renewal cost is not same that is the issue

  @rozzabuilds usually buy from registrar first, then use a registrar-agnostic service like cloudflare for namecheap or google domains. don't need another middleman between me and my registrars

  Waking up to @Namecheap being down is not how I wanted to finish off my weekend. I've never seen an outage like this before with them!

  @FrancescoCiull4 How is Namecheap nowadays? I dropped them a while back as prices went up and quality down.

  I built my entire personal brand with AI and a clear process. Here is exactly what I built and how I did it, because you can do this too. What I Built ✅ Brand Strategy (mission, vision, values) ✅ Visual identity: colors, fonts, logo, brand guidelines ✅ A full pitch deck (12 slides) ✅ A speaker kit PDF ✅ A complete multi-page personal brand website ✅ A free lead magnet (a guide people can actually use) How I Built the Website Step 1: I planned before I touched anything I wrote down my brand colors, my fonts, my page structure, and what I wanted each page to do. Most people skip this. Everything breaks when you skip this. Step 2: I gave Claude one detailed prompt with my brand colors, fonts, pages, and copy. It returned a complete, mobile-responsive, multi-page website as a single HTML file. One file. Ready to deploy. The prompt I used: - "Build me a complete personal brand website as a single HTML file. Pages: Home, About, Services, Portfolio, Contact. Primary color [your hex], accent color [your hex], background [your hex]. Display font [font name], body font [font name]. Home page needs: dark hero with my name, photo on the right, tagline, and a CTA button. Services section. Impact numbers. Mobile responsive. No frameworks." Copy this, edit your details, and fine-tune as you want. Step 3: I pushed to GitHub: Free. This took me less than five minutes. Now every update I make is version-controlled and safe. Step 4: I deployed to Vercel for free. Connected my GitHub repo to Vercel and the site was live in under few minutes. This requires no hosting fees and nothing to manage. Step 5: I bought my domain on Namecheap - Searched for my full name and found the .com. Bought it for less than $12 for the year. Added it to Vercel. Updated the DNS settings on Namecheap. Waited 20 minutes. My website was live at my own domain. - Total cost: less than $12. - Total time to go live: under 2 hours. I am also working on a mobile app. A Progressive Web App, which means anyone can visit the URL on their phone and add it to their home screen like a real app. I may be running a live training in July where I will walk you through this entire process step by step to build your live website with a custom domain. If you have a phone and a laptop, you can do this. I documented everything the steps, the exact AI prompts, the domain checklist, the deploy instructions in a free PDF guide. Comment BRAND IDENTITY below and I will send it straight to your inbox. 💾SAVE THIS POST. You will want to come back to it. 🔁 SHARE IT with someone who keeps saying they need a website. The only thing standing between you and a professional online presence is the decision to start. Love and Light, Motunrayo 🤍

  Does @Namecheap pay their support team based on the amount of minutes they're in an active chat or what? Every support chat opens with: "Please allow me 10-12 minutes to check" Terrible support

  What tools do I need to start? You usually need a domain, hosting, professional website, clear service pages, founder profile, testimonials, analytics, business email, payment route, content plan, and strong WhatsApp or contact funnel. Tools like Namecheap, DreamHost, Hostinger, Geegpay, ClickMeeting, and CartFlows can support the system when used with a clear strategy.

  @MustaAras I think it comes down to normie's perceptions of Namecheap/Spaceship registrars vs GoDaddy. Very much IMHO.

  @its_sidraa I have my mail service block all emails from Namecheap domains. They are spam enablers. Any business sketchy enough to use Namecheap I want no part of.
