  • xpreciousngwu Precious Ngwu (@xpreciousngwu) reported

    @ADCNig Na $20/month namecheap server una dey use? Nigerians are so terrible with tech.

  • CSBastiat CS Bastiat ⚖️ (@CSBastiat) reported

    @VZaretskaya @Namecheap @EasyWP You didn't email your customers. You didn't post about the outage on your X account. You did zero communication. Now it's been 5 hours and you still haven't offered any details and no ETA. As a customer, I am very very disappointed.

    @Namecheap And yes, in one hidden menu there's a checkbox for auto-renew - which contradicts every other indication in the UI is that it's already enabled. And I never unchecked it in the first place. My assumption is that sometime when I updated my expiration date it became unchecked.

  • samwelogor Samwel Ogor (@samwelogor) reported

    @truehostcloud have frustrated me especially with their customer service. Aside from namecheap and the likes, what LOCAL web host do you recommend?

  • Ibrahim_Khan099 Ibrahim Khan (@Ibrahim_Khan099) reported

    @genjoeyai Namecheap, their support team in unbelievable.

  • Kha_Erl M.P❄️ (@Kha_Erl) reported

    @webdesignerng While we’re all at it, is there any cheap or Nigerian domain service provider that comes with free auto ssl ? I’m tired of having to do it manually most times on namecheap.

  • NateAskins Nate Askins (@NateAskins) reported

    @om_patel5 I've used namecheap for 15 years. No issues.

  • DPimintel Darryl Pimintel (@DPimintel) reported

    @Namecheap Not working no any option of "Add Record". Check it.

  • zhifez zhifez (@zhifez) reported

    After juggling with SES and my Squarespace-hosted (and Google managed) domains, the conclusion is: it's a unnecessary complicated way to manage a single domain. **** this, gonna start fresh with namecheap or porkbun. Not gonna touch that Google+Squarespace domain **** again.

  • TheAryaHQ Arya Patel (@TheAryaHQ) reported

    @ilovecoding_in Real, also Namecheap is not bad.

  • NickGatzoulis Nick Gatzoulis (@NickGatzoulis) reported

    @om_patel5 Always Namecheap. Never GoDaddy.

  • OkunadeGoodMan GoodMan™ (@OkunadeGoodMan) reported

    The support team at Namecheap and Automattic are very dependable. Even if na midnight, dem go respond.

  • coolaj86 coolaj86 👨‍💻 (Old Man Yelling at The Cloud™) (@coolaj86) reported

    @Namecheap It's obviously both buggy and bad design. You don't need to argue with me about it, the screenshots are there. They're not doctored (other than masking ids), that's your web ui. Ask anyone you want. This isn't some weird take I have to personally defend.

  • OINK_project OINK (@OINK_project) reported

    @Rubberband71 @SnorterToken @Namecheap i have also reposted this. take this web page down now before i follow a lawsuit for knowingly let your domain customer scam people for millions.

  • dnaccess DNAccess (@dnaccess) reported

    @Name__Groove @afternic @GoDaddy Any domain registrars that allow 2FA through an app or through a Yubikey. Dynadot, NameCheap, Hover, and honorable mention goes to Fabulous for allowing a Yubikey to be required upon login.

    @genjoeyai namecheap but its ****

  • CSBastiat CS Bastiat ⚖️ (@CSBastiat) reported

    @Namecheap @arth61585 You guys couldn’t even bother to send an email letting us know our sites have been down for the last hour??

  • interestingpost Money/Infation/Crypto (@interestingpost) reported

    @etherbalance @BitPay @Namecheap I immediately drop a company of they use Bitpay. Bitpay also force that stupid "invoice url" crap as a payment address.

  • sectheops Cameron G | Startup Security (@sectheops) reported

    @om_patel5 10 year namecheap customer

  • coolaj86 coolaj86 👨‍💻 (Old Man Yelling at The Cloud™) (@coolaj86) reported

    @Namecheap Except that the notification system didn't work that way. Those messages weren't sent. And your interface did show that my card was enabled for renewal. You have a conflict / bug in your system which is showing things that are not true, and is not reporting on errors.

  • CSBastiat CS Bastiat ⚖️ (@CSBastiat) reported

    Hosting a website with @Namecheap @EasyWP. Their service went down 2 hrs ago and my website stopped working, unbeknownst to me. Had to wait for a client to tell me. Did they email customers? No. Did they tweet about it? No. Tired of these lazy-*** companies not communicating.

  • araff_m Malik Araf (@araff_m) reported

    Had a domain on namecheap. Had to redirect it to netlify. Was having issues. Asked chatgpt and it provided sorta wrong answer. But eventually fixed it. Willprovide the update tomorrow.

  • DPimintel Darryl Pimintel (@DPimintel) reported

    @Namecheap I contacted to your support team previously but all are newbie.

  • supremebeme Supreme (@supremebeme) reported

    i have been with @namecheap for 22 years create a good product, create a customer for life

  • its_ilya Ilya - イリア (@its_ilya) reported

    @genjoeyai Namecheap is my goto Cloudflare just works Never tried the rest of them tbh

  • etherbalance ChaosElephant (@etherbalance) reported

    @Namecheap It does what it says on the tin; just try to make a transaction with any crypto via @BitPay. I already brought this up multiple times with NameCheap support in the past. BTCPay doesn't have this issue, so KYC isn't needed in your payment process, but I loathe using BTC.

  • coolaj86 coolaj86 👨‍💻 (Old Man Yelling at The Cloud™) (@coolaj86) reported

    @Namecheap 1. If something has "auto-renew" on, but can't be renewed, it should indicate it and where to fix it. 2. Rather than displaying "card: active", "card: default", "auto-renew: enabled", "card: will be used for renewals", it SHOULD NOT say those things if they ARE NOT TRUE!

  • chrisdeweese_ Chris DeWeese (@chrisdeweese_) reported

    @TheAryaHQ Namecheap. I have hundreds of domains there. Their service is also pretty responsive

  • coolaj86 coolaj86 👨‍💻 (Old Man Yelling at The Cloud™) (@coolaj86) reported

    @Namecheap Not just the auto-renewal flow, but also not getting a notification for the error or email about the expiration. Don't send marketing emails for problems. Subject should be: "Billing error renewing domain" not marketing lingo "It's time to renew", and sent 1m, 1w, 1d, 0d, -1d

    @Namecheap Not a bad deal 👀
