    Which other company has the worst customer support like @Payoneer @Payoneer_Help? No wonder companies like Wise came up later and overtook them. How I wish every online company could replicate @Namecheap’s quality of support.

  • RiotDomains RIOT DOMAINS (@RiotDomains) reported

    @Namecheap DO NOT use @Namecheap's laughable hosting. I am hosting three websites for free to help the owners, and Namecheap disabled their websites because, supposedly, the SSL certificates expired. I'm not a developer, but I know there's such a thing as free SSL.

  • DonLuca86 Luke Pontorno (@DonLuca86) reported

    @AGAndrewBailey @ChiefNiftyswell I tried to get spam email domains shut down by contacting the domain registrar @Namecheap , but they did nothing.

  • ow Owen Williams ⚡ (@ow) reported

    what are people using for a good domain registrar these days? i looked at a few and they're all a bit sad. namecheap's ux is pretty outdated. gandi doesn't have a great reputation. cloudflare is great but doesn't support a lot of tlds. :(

  • TonyNames Tony (@TonyNames) reported

    For every domain you win in Namecheap Auctions, make sure to check if renewal is added Many times they will not add the renewal automatically unless you contact support Just got dinged with an Auto Renewal for a name I won and paid for in June Got it refunded

  • johnandrews John Andrews (@johnandrews) reported

    Should we talk specifically about @Dynadot and @Namecheap /@spaceship , and their cleverly abusive privacy practices? I mean, get into the nitty gritty of how the Kirkendalls and Hans make fortunes, while passing the buck on serious issues that put us at risk, but not them? I'm game. You? Anybody know what a "red team" is?

  • nglaix Anglais (@nglaix) reported

    @Namecheap There are many such cases. The issue here is you are listing domains that have no chance of being successfully auctioned because they are already pending delete. Please raise with your auctions team.

  • XnowDex Fudder (@XnowDex) reported

    @Dynadot @GoDaddy @Namecheap Maybe you could work with your own service using #XNO blockchain. This would give domain owners instant payouts without fees. It could be one of the payment methods. I have about 380 domains and I would be more than happy to have XNO with your services.

  • yilmi77 Yilmaz (@yilmi77) reported

    Hi @Namecheap — we urgently need help. Our domain was suspended and we’ve sent all required business + ID documents, but haven’t received a clear update. We’re a legitimate business facing serious disruption. Can someone please check DMs or reach out directly? @NamecheapCEO

  • concepttodone Toria Lives For Building Systems That Work (@concepttodone) reported

    @kachiluiz5 @webdesignerng @Namecheap I agree. I had to leave a review on Trustpilot today because I was impressed by their service. 💯

  • infoplug9ja Infoplug (@infoplug9ja) reported

    @Namecheap Well, site lock is a web security service. You sell SSL which is a web security service If you need web developers to provide better web security service, maybe you should hire some

  • Xokalled Diogenes (@Xokalled) reported

    @Namecheap I typically like to ask my twitter mutuals for help before I contact support, but I’m on that rn. Thanks.

  • joshmanders Josh Manders (@joshmanders) reported

    @AlessandroSalzo I've been a namecheap customer since before they were acreddited, decided to give cloudflare a try because all domains get pointed there for dns anyway

  • macroiq_com macroiq (@macroiq_com) reported

    @mazeincoding Happened to me before... it's a glitch with namecheap... ****** service, ****** branding, wtf are you using them Cloudflare and Porkbun

  • amazemedia Amaze Media (@amazemedia) reported

    @andrewrosener @NamecheapCEO No you didn't, but just move on. Take you gold shovel and go dig another hole. You've got have other things to do than troll little ole lowly me and more importantly Namecheap CEO. Take a walk, call a friend, help a neighbor.

  • if_Wholesale ifWholesale (@if_Wholesale) reported

    @MichaelCyger @Namecheap Namecheap and Spaceship's support are the best.

  • domainables Domains_Lady (@domainables) reported

    Assigning DNS at Godaddy, Namecheap, Spaceship, etc., etc., is SuuuUCH a long, slow headache. 45 seconds at UD, thanks to @UnstoppableWeb, I just assigned Atom DNS to 𝙨𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙝𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙙𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨! Unstoppable is the registrar YOU (& I) have waited 20 yrs for🥰

  • nicholashutfilz Nicholas Hutfilz (@nicholashutfilz) reported

    @mazeincoding hmm strange. Never had that type of problem w/ namecheap before

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @marccormier @netsolcares Glad to back you up—my take stems from reviews across Trustpilot (4.5/5 mixed), ConsumerAffairs (frequent billing complaints), Reddit, and BBB, highlighting high fees, transfer hassles, and poor support. For alternatives, try Namecheap or GoDaddy.

  • concepttodone Toria Lives For Building Systems That Work (@concepttodone) reported

    @kachiluiz5 @webdesignerng @Namecheap Fact. They were with me for more than an hour, helping me fix what I used my hand to destroy. 🫣

  • concepttodone Toria Lives For Building Systems That Work (@concepttodone) reported

    @kachiluiz5 @webdesignerng @Namecheap Felt bad today, ngl. Then I promised myself not to mess with things I don’t fully understand anymore. 😫

  • RiotDomains RIOT DOMAINS (@RiotDomains) reported

    How many people are in @Namecheap hosting SSL certificate hell? In 26 years of hosting with various companies, I've never experienced this ploy to force people to purchase SSL certificates by disabling websites. So icky.

  • andout_ Ivan (@andout_) reported

    i bought life[dot]observer in the past via namecheap, everything went through but when i wanted to configure the dns records i kept getting errors. long story short, the domain went from $10 to $1000+ and the their support told me that there was a bug with the price so i can't have it
