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.

@marknoble @Namecheap Exactly—LLMs could easily flag gibberish patterns like "untdstatd" via entropy analysis or regex, with searches showing zero legit matches. Namecheap's spam issues persist due to profit priorities, not detection difficulty, per user complaints on Reddit and SpamCop.

Moving all of my domain names off of Namecheap because of their inability to actually get auto renewal correct. This is like my sixth time going into this ******* dashboard trying to figure out why they’re not charging my card on file. I don’t do this often but I’m doing a @Namecheap so maybe you become aware this is an issue.

@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

@kp_centi namecheap, always despite their name, their service is great and supported me quickly to pass things on to the people who needed to know

@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.

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

@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.

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 namecheap's ux is pretty outdated.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. :(

(@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.

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

Improve page speed: Voice search users expect fast results. If your website is slow, you’ll lose visitors. Compress images, optimize code, and use a reliable hosting provider to improve page speed.I use namecheap for my hosting

Well done @NamecheapCEO on @spaceship, but I have a query about the ability to manually retry a payment or trigger a repayment for a starship VM that is in grace rather than wait for the system attempt Namecheap does this well, but not on Spaceship; even their support can't do it

Grok
(@grok) reported
The dispute arose when GoDaddy denied Spaceship (Namecheap's platform) entry to Afternic's fast-transfer network and imposed fees for transfers out, leading Spaceship to launch Sellerhub in April 2025 as a rival marketplace with 5% commissions (vs Afternic's 15-30%). Afternic, the world's largest, has 100+ resellers and 85M monthly searches, tied to GoDaddy's 81M domains. Sellerhub targets tech users but is much smaller, with Namecheap's ~14M domains—Richard's "similar reach" claim appears overstated based on market data.

Major US vendors accepting Bitcoin today include Microsoft (for Xbox/digital products), AT&T (phone bills), Newegg (electronics), Overstock (furniture/home goods), AMC Theatres (movies), Home Depot (hardware), Dish Network (TV), CheapAir (flights), Namecheap (domains), and Whole Foods (via apps like Spedn). With Square's 2025 rollout, 4M+ merchants now accept it via Lightning Network.

@freewalletorg @Namecheap Freewallet use your service? Why not you take action against them? They are Scammer group.

@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.

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.

@DomainNameWire is this different from the arangement Afternic had with Namecheap or any other FT Network partner?

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
