    @ImLunaHey @UK_Daniel_Card @Namecheap Kinda like how most of AWS broke when they had a DynamoDB issue in us-east-1. It's crazy how you'd expect these things to not happen at these huge tech companies but here we are...

    Option 3: Namecheap Namecheap accepts PayPal as well as cards if you already have or can set up a PayPal account funded another way, that sidesteps the naira-card issue too.

    @iuditg Phoenix data center overheated yesterday and a Namecheap and others were down 12 hours.

    The recent Namecheap outage is a good reminder that developers need contracts that clearly separate what we control from what we don't. You can support your client without taking responsibility for a third party's failure.

    @Namecheap I have been down over one week now? I’m running out of patience and excuses. I’m afraid that I’m going to have to move hosting providers as this upgrade or meltdown has singularly destroyed your reputation and business. How does it take over a week to restore?

  • Barrouchi

    @AgentGoodbye @Namecheap That’s exactly the point. A tiny credit doesn’t come close to the real damage. $3k lost in a day — potentially $9k+ if the outage continues — is serious business impact, not just “a few hours of downtime.” Namecheap may not be able to cover everyone’s losses, but after an outage like this, the compensation should at least reflect the scale of the disruption.

    @Porkbun @spaceship @Namecheap 5/ The India Payment Problem 🇮🇳 Most top developer-recommended platforms (like Porkbun or Spaceship) offer great pricing but don't support native UPI. If your debit card lacks international enabling, your purchase will instantly fail. Don't let that stall your launch! Platforms that actually support UPI to lock down your name instantly: • GoDaddy India: Massive support for UPI, great initial promos, but watch out for intense checkout up-sells! • Hostinger India: Highly reliable local billing, excellent speeds, and clean UPI QR codes at checkout.

    @420GHz @Namecheap I know this, but apparently the Porn Bots trying to advertise Porn Cam links seems to have been halted right now as I've not seen any of those bots on here, wonder if this means the "Stripchat" bots are using the service for their Cyber Crime activity and may have overloaded it?

    had a terrible experience with porkbun today trying to buy a domain email verification on signup didn't work (got the code, their verification form hung) then when I finally got past that, they required ID verification and my license is cracked so namecheap got my business

    Update: EasyWP and some services were fully back online around 1:20 PM IST on Aug 14 roughly 19 hours after I posted this. The whole Namecheap outage was fully resolved on around 15 AUG 5AM IST.

    Got the same message from Namecheap and Spaceship that "All our services are now back online following the significant outage caused by a cooling system failure at the RadiusDC: Phoenix data center." Wondering why they don't have backups in place to fix outages?

    Namecheap is having an outage currently, which appears to be affecting my company email.

  • eas4ai
    Shawn McAllister (@eas4ai) reported

    @Namecheap has lost my business. Today was the last straw. I will never buy another domain from you scammy ************* in life. You add “premium domain” tax and gatekeep customers. I even got a capital letter “BANNED” for a domain I searched and then I just bought it through @Cloudflare for $11. After the BANNED thing, I searched another domain and it said “Premium Domain” and was priced at $100,000… I also bought that domain at Cloudflare for $11. That was the last straw. I’ve been a Namecheap customer for over 20 years. I am DONE. I’ll be transferring all of my domains to Cloudflare this week.

    I’m seriously reconsidering my trust in Namecheap after a recent security concern. I contacted live support regarding a hosting issue. A support agent requested permission to access my cPanel to troubleshoot a DNS/time-zone synchronization problem… @NamecheapCEO @Namecheap

    Does @Namecheap have plans to reimburse its users for the loss or it’s just gonna be one of those we don’t care customer service? Cos there was no announcement, no update. Nothing at all.

    There has never been a cheaper time to build. Claude = coding. ($20/mo) Supabase = backend. (Free) Vercel= deploying. (Free) Namecheap = domain.
($12/yr) Stripe = payments. (2.9%/
transaction) GitHub = version control.
(Free) Resend = emails. (Free) Clerk = auth. (Free) Cloudflare = DNS. (Free) PostHog = analytics. (Free) Sentry = error tracking.
(Free) Upstash - Redis. (Free) Pinecone = vector DB.

  • Lorncat
    Lauren (@Lorncat) reported

    @JulianPhoenix2 @NamecheapCEO He can’t do that. It’s too big of a loss and they would go bankrupt (ideal though — this company is a hazard to businesses, especially essential service ones). One solution is Namecheap credit which matches our reported losses, plus a split of his salary between us all.

  • jai_ozzie
    Jai (@jai_ozzie) reported

    3/3 Unfortunately, Namecheap’s response has been to minimise the impact, hide behind what its systems recorded, and offer a token $10 credit. @NamecheapCEO — is this genuinely the level of accountability you believe Namecheap should demonstrate after a major outage?

    Subrato Paul (@goldenTwine) reported

    @Namecheap You should change your name, it's mis-leading. Your renewal fees are shooting up. I want to get both my domain names transferred to another registrar. i hope you won't create problem with Auth code.
