Namecheap Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Tommy Williams 🇺🇦 (@twwilliams) reported@EleanorKonik I'm really not sure which provider is the most trustworthy these days. I keep my most valuable domains on Network Solutions, but I have no idea if that's a good idea. I do know that I pay a lot more than at Namecheap, where I have most of the others.
-
Matthias Reinholz (@MattReinholz) reportedInteresting side-fact: they say the issue was about DNSSEC. However, in contrast to .com, @Namecheap doesn't let me configure DNSSEC for .de domains (not because of the current issue but generally). @grok does DENIC use a different layer/method of DNSSEC that doesn't allow configuring it on the registry level?
-
Zarv (@zarvxbt) reportedgm everyone you can ship a full startup from your bedroom and nobody can tell you otherwise > claude writes the code > supabase handles your backend+database > vercel deploys it > clerk does auth > stripe takes payments > resend sends emails > cloudflare covers DNS > pinecone for vectors > upstash for redis > posthog tracks everything > sentry catches your errors > namecheap for the domain > github ties it all together zero office zero team zero excuses it's not that deep bro

m1k_0xFF (@Kimanongoh) reported@Namecheap I've notified the domain owner of that also. Which is embedded on the link. I'll maybe share as well a detailed report on that, after they fix from their end.
-
The Trunk Tales (@TheTrunkTales) reported@GLAsk1d @Namecheap I shut it down for the night after I posted the thread. I'll get it up tomorrow. Ping me if you don't see me posting it before lunch.
-
jaseeey (@jaseeey) reported@Codebender_Cate Noooooo! The GoDaddy control panel is terrible and slow. I have a few domains there because Namecheap doesn't support all of the TLDs that I use. However, I'm certainly not disagreeing with the prices, it feels like the recent increases have been quite steep...

luna (@ImLunaHey) reported@0xpusk got any evidence of that? ive never seen any other company do this including namecheap.

🃏 (@anupamrjp) reportedSaaS builders in 2026 👀 Domains? Cloudflare 🔥 Namecheap Hostinger GoDaddy Porkbun Domain won’t save a bad SaaS. Ship anyway 🚀

Kenny (@JimmyBoonen) reported@ravikiran_dev7 Im using porkbun. Namecheap is bad.

Springblade 🇺🇸 (@steveMmattison) reported@LotusPeptideCom @PeptideSupplyCo From Grok Expert: Compare & contrast Hostinger and Namecheap domain registrars to Cloudflare. I've heard Hostinger and Namecheap are quick to suspend websites for little reason. What's the truth about suspended websites, and does it happen very much on Cloudflare. Specifically for Peptide selling sites.Hostinger/Namecheap vs Cloudflare Registrar: Hostinger/Namecheap: Cheap initial domains + hosting bundles; quick suspensions for abuse, phishing reports (often false), WHOIS issues, or illegal content. Namecheap explicitly bans "illegal pharmacy/controlled substances." Cloudflare: Registrar + DNS/proxy only (no hosting); at-cost renewals, top security/DNS; suspensions rare, only for legal/TOS violations—not quick content takedowns. Suspensions truth (esp. peptides): Common on Hostinger (phishing/abuse complaints); some on Namecheap for pharmacy-like sites. Rare on Cloudflare. Peptides (unapproved drugs) carry high risk everywhere—Namecheap bans them outright; Cloudflare least aggressive.

🔥Sven ☠ 2157🔥 (@Sven2157) reportedI have several website issues today, since I switched to @Namecheap from @GoDaddy & GLAD I DID! Took less than 5 min to assess the issue with NC. GD would have me on hold for 1-4 hours, AND STILL NOT FIX ANYTHING! Bob Parsons would be ashamed! Global CPanel/WHM outage.
-
allmylife (@bhabhiezayn) reported@namesilo @Namecheap NameSilo dead rate is 60%+ for fresh domains (0-6mo) — domains are born dead. Namecheap fresh domains are 25% dead (normal setup delay). This means NameSilo domains were never intended to be used.

Arsi Hoxha (@ArsiHoxha_) reported@adahstwt Namecheap for years then switched to Cloudflare and never looked back. no markup, no upsells, no drama 🫶

Vontavius Hurd (@vontaviushurd) reported@CodeWithAmann NameCheap never buy a domain from Cloudflare you won’t be able to use another hosting provider like WordPress, Google Cloud, or AWS. Hostinger is usually just slow and buggy.

Sankalp Yadav (@sankalpyaddav) reported@Namecheap I've already mailed you the payment proof and the whole WhatsApp conversation with date and time. RTs help this reach @Namecheap faster 🙏 And help me out!!! #DomainScam #Namecheap

Jyotiprakash Behera (@learnwidjp) reportedWorst experience with @GoDaddy support compared to other top domain registrars like @Namecheap and @Cloudflare. Reported serious fraud-related domains with evidence, but still no effective response or visible action on my complaints. Case IDs: DCU101299924 & DCU101300141.
-
Adam Maysonet (@synozeer) reported@TopShelfNames @spaceship If someone typed in the domain in their browser bar, they would have seen an Afternic lander. The person instead searched for the domain on Namecheap/Spaceship and bought it that way (aka. reg path), so they may never have even seen the lander.
-
Ehsan (@acadictive) reported@BacLeodiv i always buy from namecheap. i like their ui and service. btw, lets also connect.
-
Phil (@0xPhilH) reported@milanm_ @levelsio @Cloudflare To add here, since CFs offices are in France, they overcomply with every bs EU request, even if you host a service that is US only. They won't do that for the content part, so namecheap registar + CF dns + CF CDN is actually best of both worlds combo.

Milan (@milanm_) reported@levelsio @Cloudflare I don't like Namecheap neither (their DNS setup sometimes causes my browser to freeze). But so far all domain providers I tried were generally ****, so I kind of made peace with the fact that they all suck. Why is @Cloudflare different?
