Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GenzenSucks Genzen (@GenzenSucks) reported

    @Namecheap using software you can brute force the admin login easily

  • MickMakes MickMake (@MickMakes) reported

    @eligarlo @eishaid7 @Namecheap Except when their DNS service is MIA.

  • GazTheJourno Gareth Corfield (@GazTheJourno) reported

    @SeanWrightSec I've heard quite a bit about Namecheap, normally from fed-up researchers who've found yet another scam routed through their infrastructure that persists despite reporting it. Seems there's a problem here.

  • BuffaloPanic BuffaloPanic! (@BuffaloPanic) reported

    It literally took me many google searches, over half a day, to figure how to run a python app on @namecheap. And that is including their FTP service not working probably (still can only use my admin account to ftp)

  • tomdahmdotcom Tom Dahm (@tomdahmdotcom) reported

    @nasir8891 @Namecheap Yeah my site is slow to do anything as well.

  • SEOpn Chris McElroy (@SEOpn) reported

    @NamecheapCEO @rsmck @Namecheap Come on. Cheap domains and a focus on registering as many as possible leads to abuse. I'm the guy who sued ICANN and Network solutions over the grace period & pre-registering domains that have been searched for. Been in the domain business since 1995. There is more you can do.

  • WilfSplodNokit Richie (@WilfSplodNokit) reported

    Hey @NameCheap I'm unable to get into my account because of this #AccessiBe overlay. I want to transfer my domains elsewhere. Help please as your site is inaccessible

  • rsmck Ross McKillop (@rsmck) reported

    @imdsm @Namecheap To be fair, SMS is clear text, and there's loads of points in a network it can be intercepted so I'd have no issue with automated filtering of suspicious URLs as long as (a) you could opt out and (b) it wasn't used for any other purpose.

  • DibosaMarcel ADeadPoet (@DibosaMarcel) reported

    @Namecheap straight up blocked my account immediately after i paid $86.88 for hosting, did not even issue a refund, asking for details i can't provide...at least now i know where not to host. c'est la vie.

  • awkamedia Awka Media↪️ (@awkamedia) reported

    Finally @Namecheap have released my site!! But made to repay another fee !! E come be now wey I broke pass broken bottle 😶

  • rsmck Ross McKillop (@rsmck) reported

    @imdsm @Namecheap Indeed, carriers checking for large numbers of identical messages would be a start. There's the issue of inspecting content though and balancing it with privacy.

  • jamesholden James Holden (@jamesholden) reported

    @rsmck @Namecheap Write a script to stuff the form with bad data and use up all the quota.

  • Kavero19 Kavero (@Kavero19) reported

    @Namecheap Your servers are down right now, terrible.

  • fightsfortheusr Barry (@fightsfortheusr) reported

    @Namecheap while I understand this for a new purchase why would this apply to a transfer? literally Namecheap is the only domain registrar I have ever run into this issue with.

  • rsmck Ross McKillop (@rsmck) reported

    @Namecheap @tabithagold Or, act on the information you're given... it's not difficult. You choose not to, which some may say makes you complicit in facilitating fraud. Like it or not *YOU* personally - not just your employer - are part of the problem, you cause innocent victims to lose thousands.

  • OzoyaSilas Silas OZOYA™ ¦¦ SUBA Capital✪ (@OzoyaSilas) reported

    @Kim_Samugana Sorry you hear. Make i give link for @Namecheap They have never failed me since I moved in with them.

  • ColourArtwork Derrick (@ColourArtwork) reported

    @androolloyd @BrantlyMillegan @ensdomains I've now been able to check Namecheap and they do support DNSSEC. Unfortunately, I don't have any .art names at NC to completely test. If using GCloud DNS, click "registrar settings" in Zone Details, copy DS values to NC. Done.

  • fophillips Fred Phillips (@fophillips) reported

    @Namecheap @LGG1989 Done, but I think there needs to be systematic action to stop these domains being created by bad actors instead of one-off deletions

  • Kim_Samugana Your Lagos Boat🛥Plug🔌 (@Kim_Samugana) reported

    @OzoyaSilas @Namecheap I have domains with namecheap, whogohost and Godaddy. Namecheap and whogohost works fine and their Customer care service is on point but you see this Godaddy🙄, It is an annual battle brawl with them, i am tired.

  • p0welly ndypwll (@p0welly) reported

    @edent @rsmck The problem is @namecheap wont investigate when the do get complaints

  • ChristinaPanin1 Christina Panina (@ChristinaPanin1) reported

    @mitchsurp @Namecheap Hi Mitch! We found a deliberate spam attack and blocked it to ensure such emails don't reach your mailbox anymore. I hope this will improve your experience with our service. If you face anything like that in the future, please contact our support and we'll resolve it right away.

  • mariorandrade Mário R. Andrade (@mariorandrade) reported

    @Namecheap Hey, I tried your support but it asks login information but my client only knows the username and the domain. We have a few emails that might be associated but it blocks the account for 24h after error. It's a domain for a business we can prove ownership, can you help?

  • mitchsurp Mitch Surprenant (@mitchsurp) reported

    @ChristinaPanin1 @Namecheap I sincerely hope so. This has been an ongoing issue. Really the only reason I haven't jumped is because of the wildcard feature. Nobody else seems to offer it. But the wildcards aren't causing the spam. This is just a filter failure. I look forward to improvements. Thank you!

  • Hezo34 Hezo (@Hezo34) reported

    @CryptoCrusade_ ... this is the default address provided by namecheap's whoisguard service. whois any whoisguard using domain on namecheap and you'll get the exact same lol

  • DibosaMarcel ADeadPoet (@DibosaMarcel) reported

    @epafred @Namecheap Did they fix it/refund you?

  • eth_specialist specialist (@eth_specialist) reported

    @MonkeFarm @redapes @gorillacd Fix your cname and url redirect records on namecheap, www. isn't working

  • RobGasior Rob Gasior (@RobGasior) reported

    @rsmck @Namecheap Yeah, its a management thing though, someone made a decision to turn a blind eye to the bad actor, maybe if thier board met someone who lost all thier life savings to a scam hosted on a @Namecheap domain things might change,
