-
mmdhsrc (@mmdhsrc) reported@Namecheap Namecheap is a truly terrible company. They charged me for the PrivateSSL service which is part of a hosting plan I was planning to cancel before the billing date. When I asked for a refund, they said the charge was non-refundable. It’s a rip-off.

Hank Oflameo (@Oflameo) reported@internetarchive If it make you feel better, @Namecheap had a power outage last week.

shon.vibes (@shonvibes) reported@Namecheap 's new interface for Private Email doesn't let you set up conversations for the inbox. Are they insane?! This shows a total lack of regard for the time management of business owners who use your service, Namecheap. I bet YOUR email has conversation view. #namecheapdown

-
Hamid Mousavi (@hamid2108) reportedOur VPS has been down and intermittently inaccessible since yesterday, with no prior notice, no email, no clear explanation, and not even an apology. This is not the level of reliability or communication we expect from a VPS provider. @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO
-
EMPRENDERATUM (@negocioclic) reported@Namecheap Several of my websites are down
-
Farmercologist (@farfesadee) reportedSo apparently, Contabo newly introduced a free firewall feature which was enabled on the account and as a result, every incoming traffic was being dropped. More so, the issue Namecheap had last Thursday affected our domain as well, the DNS record completely stopped communicating with the server’s public IP. All issues fixed💯💯💯. Now I can rest😒😒😒 This is one of the things you get for working as a Bsckend Engineer.

Moh Adiahn (@adiahnn) reported@Namecheap, this is honestly unacceptable. I was told that because I chose to buy another hosting plan instead of renewing my current one, your team could not help me move my DNS records and that I would have to do everything manually because of a “policy.” I asked a very simple question, Where is this policy stated so customers can see it before making a purchase? Your agent kept me waiting while supposedly gathering the information, then sent me a completely unrelated page about hosting discounts. After questioning it again, I was eventually told the policy information is not available through any external link. So let me understand this, there is supposedly a policy that affects what support customers can receive after making a purchase, but customers cannot see or verify that policy before spending their money? How is that transparency? I feel genuinely cheated and undervalued as a customer. The issue isn't just the DNS migration anymore it’s being given questionable information, having my time wasted searching for a policy that apparently isn't publicly available, and then being expected to simply accept it. Customers deserve clear information before making purchasing decisions, not hidden policies explained only after money has been spent. @Namecheap, please look into this. I have trusted your services, but experiences like this are exactly why customers start seriously considering alternatives. @NamecheapCEO Do better.

UE (@udayempire_) reportedman, has anyone else felt like logging into @Namecheap is the hardest task ever? I literally just created a new password, and it’s already telling me it’s wrong. almost everytime I login to this website I have to change the password even tho I save it in my bitwarden password manager.
-
Jai (@jai_ozzie) reported@NamecheapCEO 14+ hours of business email disruption. Emails bounced. Business impacted. Namecheap’s compensation? $10. Yes, $10. Does @Namecheap seriously believe this demonstrates accountability to a small business after a major infrastructure outage?
-
Alessandro Bogliari (@alexeidos) reported@Namecheap someone is impersonating our company using a domain that is very similar to ours. They are scamming influencers while using our company name. I reported this to your abuse team 7 days ago. no response. Can someone get back to us ASAP and take this domain down?
-
Tapas Adhikary | tapaScript (@tapasadhikary) reported@Namecheap It’s surely not only an interface change. - It is slow - Editing appointments doesn't work intermittently - Can not view attachments without downloading unlike before - Appointment doesn't go through Schedule a call with me, will show you all for free.
