prabhat (@prbhtkumr) reported@vivekteega @Namecheap @snigdhasur hey i'm glad that it has worked for you, i doubt most people using such a well known service for standard domain holding would have much issues. but namecheap has made a life long hater out of me and i would do my best to divert any and all business to better alternatives.

kashyapkumbhani (@kashyap182000) reportedHey @Wix , transferred my domain from @namecheap. The domain already shows the default Wix page, but my Wix dashboard is still stuck on “Transfer in Progress.” I’ve emailed support but haven’t received a response. Please help.
-
Today in Bitcoin History (@daily_btc_lore) reported3/7 - The bold part was zero-confirmation delivery. A Bitcoin payment isn't settled until miners include it in a block, roughly 10 minutes at best. Most merchants waited for one to six confirmations. Namecheap activated your purchase the moment the transaction hit the network.
-
AI SaaS Launchpad (@AISaaSLaunchpad) reported@arvidkahl @Namecheap DENIC (.de registry) handles transfers differently than gTLDs—it requires real-time authcode validation via a direct registry connection, which Namecheap's backend integration doesn't support for inbound moves. The workaround is transferring to a registry with direct DENIC support (like Porkbun or Hetzner) and pointing DNS to Namecheap.

Julian Engel (@julianengel) reported@scheemunai @spaceship @Dynadot Pricing is the biggest factor (spaceship is owned by namecheap - but pricing is much better), better UX and both of these support MCP and API access so they are agent friendly :)

Brian Lee Mayes ✞ ❞𝓢𝓲𝔁❞ 𝓢𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓛𝓮𝓮 (@BrianLeeMayes) reported@Namecheap Namecheap used to offer easy choices between 3rd party, now it's all convoluted. I have some research to do. Perhaps a service that doesn't outsource their tech support with people that don't know anything, except how to search a database. Adios, farewell.

Atta 🐬 (@attacomsian) reported@codewith55 Namecheap for buying. i spent years in the domain world, GoDaddy works but the upsells never stop.

DNAccess (@dnaccess) reported@DancerA Network Solutions is 40%, GoDaddy 33%, and eNom 7% — so those three alone account for 80%, and Network Solutions plus GoDaddy together are 73%. After that it drops into a long tail: Domain(com)~4%, then Moniker, Namecheap, and 1&1 IONOS at ~2% each, and some single cases at ~1%
-
TungstenCarb (@TungstenCarb) reportedAfter using @Namecheap's service for well over a decade, they've decided to raise my rates. I'm pretty disappointed. Are there any other good hosting providers that are low cost? I've already tried GoDaddy and their service was trash.
-
J.Simonne (@jezza1961) reported@Namecheap don’t do it, they work with criminals who clone other peoples websites and don’t do anything to take the scammer websites down
-
Shant (@ShantDotMe) reported@Namecheap for the love of God, please do train your support agents a bit better. It is NOT OK for your agent to tell users to use an IP address, without a valid SSL certificate, to login!!!

TomorrowsBrands (@SeeBrands) reported@katerleonid godaddy have a few of my .cns but namecheap i have most on. i like namecheaps backend, and how easy it is to change dns etc.... and on having reseller hosting from them, everything is streamlined. Namecheap also has very good support. not sales people like i found on godaddy.

One&OnlyAarav (@WaterAarav) reportedClaude = coding. ($20/mo) Shypmenta = deploys, connects, and manages every platform below. Basically your Cursor for shipping.($6/yr) Supabase = backend. (Free) Vercel = deploying. (Free) Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) Stripe = payments. (2.9%/transaction) GitHub = version control. (Free) Resend = emails. (Free) Clerk = auth. (Free) Cloudflare = DNS. (Free) PostHog = analytics. (Free) Sentry = error tracking. (Free) Upstash = Redis. (Free) Pinecone = vector DB. (Free) Total monthly cost to run a startup: ~$20. Building has genuinely never been this affordable, and rarely this effortless either.
-
Johnny Picante (@JohnnyPic51) reported@CertainLogicAI @buildwithmaya @Namecheap Agreed for the validation phase — cheapest thing that ships wins. Where a geo-TLD earns its keep is after you've got signal and want the URL itself doing some work (local SEO, word-of-mouth memorability) instead of just hosting code.

Brian Lee Mayes ✞ ❞𝓢𝓲𝔁❞ 𝓢𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓛𝓮𝓮 (@BrianLeeMayes) reported@Namecheap Turns out, y'all were doing maintenance, with no notice I could find. That should probably be shown on what ever login screen one uses...just a thought. Being 3rd party, IDK how that would work. I'm still talking to them about switching away from Roundcube. They don't know how.
-
Kamil Stanuch (@KamilStanuch) reported- half of Twitter buys their 15th domain (best week for GoDaddy and Namecheap) - „it’s literally a cheat code to get rich” (*Claude take this ideas and build a landing page*) - “this is literally what I’ve been building” (*** repo created 14 minutes ago) - founders suddenly remember they’ve been “obsessed with this problem for years” (yesterday they were building dual-use AI travel agents) - VCs and Angel investor who passed get pinged „look this is what YC looks for and we are building this” (they hop on a call) - founders spending more time crafting the “We’ve been quietly working on this…” tweet than working on it
-
Brian Lee Mayes ✞ ❞𝓢𝓲𝔁❞ 𝓢𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓛𝓮𝓮 (@BrianLeeMayes) reported@Namecheap It appears "temporarily" fixed, know this...the biggest reason I will likely be leaving, isn't so much the repeated issues, but the outsourced tech support, of people that know absolutely nothing! It's pathetic, and IDK why my former webmaster chose Namecheap.
-
Legacy (@legacyunchain) reported@yfly58 Nice one. Boss I need help, I'm trying to set up a business mail. I bought a domain on namecheap, connected it to the Google workshop. I have been trying to activate the Gmail but the MX record I created on namecheap is not working and the activation is failing.
-
Rajeev Singh Naruka (@toughyear) reportednever search domains on godaddy. they very obviously resell this info. better use cloudflare or namecheap or porkbun.
-
yev (@itisyev) reported@Namecheap apologies for the false statement. I got emails from you with refunds for the domain subscription and jumped to conclusions Turns out... the IP I got from @digitalocean for hosting got re-allocated to a different project. Updating records with NC's Basic DNS to fix
-
Edgex (@SahilExec) reported@YashHustle_22 I usually go with Namecheap, cheap prices and solid support.
-
alencristen (@alencristen) reported@p_naix @spaceship maybe different managment team or something but honestly i'd stay away from anything namecheap related. very bad company
-
Rian (@Rian_Visser) reported@ItsKamranK You must use Cloudflare's nameservers for any domain registered or transferred through Cloudflare Registrar. No support for IDNs. No thank you, I do not have these restrictions and limitations with @Namecheap and will happily pay the increased fee to have control over my domain.
-
Tejas (@stejas809) reported@Umesh__digital I use namecheap. Never used hostinger.
