    This particular moment of enormous displeasure brought to you by me having to create a new account with @Namecheap and initiating a transfer of my services from my old account, which requires support intervention, all because you can't change your username.

    @katebevan @matthewknight @Namecheap Everyone is jumping off the last pass bus. I used to use Lastpass then they got bought and sold a few times I myself had issues with them I did a ton of research and BitWarden is the best I have found. If Lastpass did well in your tests you probably need better testing process.

    @AndroidEducator @katebevan @Namecheap I moved from LP to BW a few months ago, and it's true, I don't have this issue with BW now.

    @Namecheap Here are 4 scams sites you are hosting right now. Let's see you shut them down. rm-parcel8319 dot com rm-parcel8429 dot com rm-parcel9326 dot com rm-parcel9327 dot com

    @NamecheapCEO @Namecheap I’d have no problem with that at all as an exception if the name was obviously suspicious. None of the scammers would do it, legitimate users may have a short delay.

    Daniel (@schmerwizzle) reported

    @Namecheap Thanks but I've already contacted your support and I know when the grace period is over. The reactivation fee for the domain would have been horrendously high if I may be frank.

    @626Corp @Namecheap @olesovhcom What does the cleaned devices serve then and it was said that there was a fire before dogex pro shut down on its website

    Web host was slowing down over the last year. Migrated wife’s site to @Namecheap shared host because it’s, well, cheap. Holy cow her site is now blazing! Just finished migrated my site to their @EasyWP. My site has never been this fast. 5 hours into my 30day trial.

    Maria Lisa (@ML_Musik) reported

    @laaaities I can but I refuse to pay about 5k to retrieve it when initially it was less than 500. It’s paining me. So I’m just buying a new one, suddenly I never liked it anyway (I’m on namecheap but the gone one is godaddy) please recommend if there are better ones

    I'm sure I'm the 100th person or more to submit a support ticket to @Namecheap about the obnoxiously unusable #Accessibee overlay. If you feel the same and have not done this yet, open a ticket in their support system.

  • katebevan
    Kate Yes, I've seen the viral cat thing Bevan (@katebevan) reported

    @AndroidEducator @matthewknight @Namecheap No, "everybody" isn't. Plenty of people think £3 a month is worth paying for a pretty decent service that's well implemented for less expert users. As I say, when I want advice, I'll ask for it.

  • Raindropactual
    Rich Sanders [Jan/3➞₿🔑∎] (@Raindropactual) reported

    @Namecheap Already in there, hee-ro. Wanna try taking it down faster than your speed record of 5 days? Or does this require an "investigation?" Because we can ask Twitter exactly how much investigating that site needs and that answer is around none. Fix your ****.

    @fahdananta So many bad ideas in my Namecheap account

  • saleemrash1d
    Saleem Rashid (@saleemrash1d) reported

    support originally told me they couldn't find any details but magically could when i said i'd move my domain elsewhere 👀 i'd just been browsing some of Namecheap's hosting features and, even though i didn't buy it, it eagerly requested a SSL certificate 🙃

  • Raindropactual
    Rich Sanders [Jan/3➞₿🔑∎] (@Raindropactual) reported

    @Namecheap @chaintuts Prioritize meaning you're going to do better than 5 days? Or do I need to keep saying to fix your **** until you realize people submitting these abuse reports are your greatest asset in keeping people safe? I'll let Twitter know how long it takes you to shut the site down.

    @HSBC_UK The hosts of these fraudlent scamming sites is always @Namecheap, they are doing very little to prevent this kind of fraud, I suspect its the same criminal behind the domains every time, because they all start "hs-". And you have MORONS working for you in customer service!

    @TrungTPhan @pitdesi I switched from Godaddy to Namecheap years ago when they thought it was ok to have a CEO that hunts elephants. I know they're trying as a company now, but stories like the 'holiday bonus' is just the tip of the iceberg in a company ingrained with bad practices.

    vyvyan basterd (@neurobashing) reported

    hey I have a bunch of names in Route 53 as registrar. I have heard NameCheap does sketchy ****, like buying up names you search and then resells at a higher price. Who is a good registrar?

    @Namecheap I clicked on the “Live Chat Support” button several times and even switched over to my cellular data and it’s not working.

    @MilesDilworth Great piece, Miles. 👍 It's a big problem coming up repeatedly now on local Fb groups. I traced a number of domains in local texts back to @Namecheap & reported them to its 'abuse' email, but heard no more beyond auto-response. Hope they acted! #royalmailscam #RoyalMail

    Hey @Namecheap, I just asked your support rep if emails with your Private Email service are encrypted at rest. I was told no? Is this correct?
