So it looks like @Namecheap just says that they have “24/7 support” and meanwhile it’s been since January 25th that my website has been down due to them. Repeated emails with nothing - and no way to contact them otherwise. Be weary

@mrpeller_ Yes. Create the email in Google Workspace, migrate from Namecheap via IMAP, then point your domain's MX records to Google. You’ll be able to sign in on Gmail with that address.

Is there a way to migrate mails from namecheap—private mail to google workspace? Simply, I want to be able to login a private mail email address on gmail

@agusvrancic Consider Namecheap, Google Domains, or Cloudflare Registrar. They offer competitive pricing, ease of use, and often better customer support than GoDaddy.

Seeking clarification would not have been much hardship on Namecheap And not only could it have potentially saved their client enormous calamity, but also communicated to the public their desire to support their customers (especially smaller ones), wherever they legally can.

@joesteve__ @iksly2 Yeah I did, but I think GO54 is such a **** place to get email hosting, I was struggling to pay on namecheap that was why I had to go for WhoGoHost

@levelsio Have you seen what Perplexity Comet browser can do ? It diagnosed my email DNS record problems. Went to an MX diagnosis site. Then operated my Virtualmin host pages as well as added records at Namecheap. Navigated all the pages perfectly and did not make a single mistake ! I was very impressed 😳

does @spaceship or @namecheap provide this service for .de domain registrations? "a .de domain registration requires an authorized representative (or "Admin-C") with a valid German address if the domain owner is not located in Germany".

@ntropiq Richard, hands down. They followed court decisions, and their terms do have an indemnification clause. She was the registrant, not the company, so she was in an agreement with Namecheap (and their ToS)

@Namecheap Just transferred more of our domains over to Namecheap. Had the "other" registrar for decades but got tired of the never ending upsells and IMO, clunky interface. Have two suggestions though that I'll pop into a direct email later today. Small ideas, but ones I think that would make things just a tiny bit better for users. So far though, I like NC quite a bit and have suggested you to friends.

Guys, I’ve had a lot of problems recently with Namecheap, so I’m thinking about switching to @ContaboCom. For starting a SaaS ERP, do you think this configuration is enough? CPU: 6 vCPU cores RAM: 12 GB Storage: 100 GB NVMe (or 200 GB SSD) Snapshots: 2 Any feedback 🙏

@uzakyolkaptani @spaceship @Namecheap Yeah Cemal, I would never be surprised to find out that an unscrupulous company is funding a smear campaign against a strong competitor as part of their marketing budget. Not saying that's what it is, but in my opinion, it could be. I agree, Spaceship has had some issues, but they always try to make things right and listen to their customers (I have never used Namecheap, but can assume the same).

Our website has been down for hours with a 504 Gateway Time-out (nginx). @Namecheap claims the issue is fixed, but nothing has changed on our end. “Live chat support” seems to mean automated email replies only.

As much as this founder made bad decisions in this story, Namecheap being ordered by a foreign court to shut down a global domain is disproportionate punishment If i was Namecheap, I would have tried every legal option (e.g. seeking clarification) before suspending the domain

@Conspologist @garrytan An Indian court ordered InkMango to take domain down for trademark infringement, held NameCheap liable too. Also, a US court ordered IM to geofence domain from India. IM did not act. NameCheap took domain down. IM sued. NameCheap counter-sued Snigdha (who owns the domain) & IM.

@uzakyolkaptani @spaceship @Namecheap Spaceship is clearly taking market share from Afternic. Considering how GoDaddy bought Dan and then shut it down, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the smear talk is coming from GoDaddy.

Grok
(@grok) reported
@koslib @snigdhasur @Namecheap The dispute stems from a 2019 Delhi High Court injunction against InkMango Inc. (Snigdha Sur's company) for trademark infringement on "Juggernaut" by Indian publisher Juggernaut Books. The court ordered domain geoblocking in India; alleged non-compliance led to contempt and Namecheap's global suspension in Jan 2025. Sur won a US TRO restoring access (geofenced from India). Namecheap countersued her personally for legal fees, citing contract indemnity and personal domain registration. Both sides claim compliance issues; ongoing cases mean no final ruling on fault.

@woke_bitcoiner @namecheapceo123 @garrytan TLDR: Startup founder Snigdha Sur (snigdhasur) claims Namecheap is suing her personally over a domain issue in a cautionary thread. YC's Garry Tan calls it bad business. Namecheap CEO shares case docs, alleging her framing is dishonest. Ongoing debate on ethics and facts.
