    @Namecheap Is it Handshake who do not support transfers of Slds or is it Namecheap who do not support transfers? @apedotc #DomainNameForSale #HNS #Handshake

  • TheCastrosMusic The Castros (@TheCastrosMusic) reported

    Our main email is down! Please DM us in socials while we work with our current provider to restore it (we will be switching to a new one after this. Maybe @Namecheap ? Any deals ;) )

  • iftiseo Iftekhar Ahmed (@iftiseo) reported

    @Namecheap Is there no system of a proper follow up on your support email? I really wish I could show the mail and the responses to the public over here.

  • johnnie_tseng Johnny (@johnnie_tseng) reported

    @Namecheap Hey @Namecheap my newly bought domain got suspended for totally no reason, the support team responded that I need to provide business documents in order to unsuspend. However I'm just a indie developer and don't own a company, could you help me? Ticket number: IAI-632-13626

  • SERVESKYLR ♔ ᴘʀɪɴᴄᴇss sᴋʏʟᴀʀ ♔ (@SERVESKYLR) reported

    them tryna tell you “there are certain requirements that you will have to meet” before they deem you worthy of one ?! I said **** that noise, went to namecheap and bought it for $10 lol

  • nsajan साजन.भ/ (@nsajan) reported

    @NetOpWibby They wanted to create a legal precident that would help them secure. Now with namecheap there is a strong possibility that a lagel precident against their position could be set. That would end them. Hence the frustration!

  • name_lytx namelytx.eth / mhuggins.eth / 11-1.eth (@name_lytx) reported

    @_theth_ If it's an HNS TLD it's already web3 and can stake and sell domains... The path to ENS isn't through DNS... Anyone can fork ENS and start a "name service" with an HNS TLD Or they can stake it through Namebase and they are sold on Namecheap, Porkbun & several other registrars

  • matthewbloch Matthew Bloch (@matthewbloch) reported

    Mum calls to say she's given her password to a phishing site. I open it, start pushing 100s of junk logins at it. Also wrote an email to @Namecheap's abuse desk, assuming it will be a black hole. The site is down within *15 minutes* 👏🏻

  • NBregistry NBregistry (@NBregistry) reported

    The domain support.we3 was just registered on Namecheap.

  • wilcochris Chris Wilcox 🌻🇺🇦 (@wilcochris) reported

    Really @Namecheap Your response to why a shared IP was blacklisted is to tell me to purchase a dedicated IP or a VPS package. Really!!! The issue appears fixed but I have to risk that it will happen again. Tell me again why I am with you?!?!?!

  • ashleycox2 Ashley Cox (@ashleycox2) reported

    Used @namecheap for years and have never known a company with such useless, incompetent and ignorant customer support. Great prices but don’t expect help should you require it, and don’t bother sending website feedback when things are broken because they don’t give a ****.

  • whoisteezy Web Designer 👩🏽‍💻 I do websites. (@whoisteezy) reported

    @BeezSLS @GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddy Wow so gave you your money back & locked it down. Smh won’t be using them no more. You ever use namecheap ?

  • Eric2203 Eric (@Eric2203) reported

    @Namecheap It’s not just bulk emails. All the links in said emails point to those websites, with tracking URLs. DM me an email address and I’ll send you the mountain of crap I receive every day. You’ll see the links all point to these websites. You need to revoke these registrations.

  • WolfOfDisStreet wonder boy. 💸$🎯 (@WolfOfDisStreet) reported

    I wonder how much namecheap pays their support team

  • JasonB85118769 JasonB (@JasonB85118769) reported

    @BjKlock @GrantCardone No namecheap dns is a free service **** companies use who have zero security concerns because they host ****** WP sites using envato themes. You just happen to host all these domains on the same account that are replying to you. **** ***.

  • Web3Buzz Web3Buzz.w3d | Web3 Domains == .w3d (@Web3Buzz) reported

    @DotDwebo @Namecheap @apedotc Yes, just wanted to get a little focus on the issue.

  • TheRealAquah S◎ldier (@TheRealAquah) reported

    @Namecheap I did that on live chat, and the customer support said there's no such plan. So I'm trying to confirm from you if there's such plan for 4 years

  • SleepyShaggy ShägGy Bro (@SleepyShaggy) reported

    @alyayla_ actually the owner was trying to transfer hosting to namecheap, but it was registered with someone else, he forgot login credentials, and then it expired. now there is nothing.

  • Andynwood79 Andy Wood (@Andynwood79) reported

    @sarajwallen probably namecheap, the ui is a bit clunky but I think it's a clunky business generally. Prices are good, probably lowest I've seen and their customer service is very good.

  • CompoundedToken Compounded Finance (@CompoundedToken) reported

    @Optimus_Dawg @Namecheap you need to fix this asap!

  • NBregistry NBregistry (@NBregistry) reported

    The domain fityfitypodcast.damn was just registered on Namecheap.

  • jenn_storey Jenn Spook-ey 🎃 (@jenn_storey) reported

    In typical fashion, a work task I've been avoiding took one help ticket and a single setting adjustment to fix. Sigh. Look. My IT degree is 10 years old at this point. Don't judge me, Namecheap helpdesk.

  • apedotc ape.c (@apedotc) reported

    @Web3Buzz @Namecheap When NB launches dSLDs, you’ll be able to list them on Opensea since they now support Optimism. Hopefully the transfer to other registrars will then be possible as well.

  • ItzFrankenstein frank (@ItzFrankenstein) reported

    @UBAGroup @TonyOElumelu Mrs Ugochi Ukonu-Obioha deserves an award for best customer manager, had issues with my bank and Namecheap where I bought a domain and Host, Charge back for a wrong transaction which went on for months, but when I met her I took just 3days

  • econexpert Martin Ⓜ datalayer.blockchain (@econexpert) reported

    @isdownapp Looks like outage still going on @Namecheap

  • iHeartMalware Ronnie "That BEC Guy" Tokazowski (@iHeartMalware) reported

    Hey @Namecheap! Would it be possible to take this domain down? It looks to have employee contact forms and is riddled with ads. This one looks super shady, thanks all! bankschools[.]com

  • kevinrwhitley Kevin R. Whitley (@kevinrwhitley) reported

    Yo @Cloudflare - I'd love it if you folks would support more TLDs! Would def prefer to register all my domains with you (at your cheaper rates), rather than having them split between @Namecheap, @101domain, and your platform. They all end up under your umbrella for DNS anyway!

  • DomainsFlx RootZone/ (@DomainsFlx) reported

    @Namecheap @NBdomains He tagged both companies in the tweet. Namecheap is the only one who responds. That is an example of the problem with @NamebaseHQ .

  • wilcochris Chris Wilcox 🌻🇺🇦 (@wilcochris) reported

    @Namecheap The issue is resolved but I’m told to buy a dedicated IP or VPS service to avoid potential issues in the future. How on earth do you allow your IP addresses to become blacklisted in the first place?

  • nsajan साजन.भ/ (@nsajan) reported

    @HnsWorldwide @NetOpWibby 1/ They wanted to create a legal precedent that would help them secure their model of namespace management as the default. Now with namecheap there is a strong possibility that a legal precident against their model could be set.
