  @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.

  @gingerincjules @Namecheap Maybe it’s self fulfilling. The fact that they are so bad at dealing with them is exactly what makes them the scammers registrar of choice… Either that or the full page add in “scum bags monthly”.

  @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?

  @RobGasior It's not an ideal solution by any means, but I do wonder when it'll become an issue ... The other thing I was considering (on a wider network) is a custom resolver that checks when a domain was registered. On the first query to a domain, if it's namecheap and < 3 days, block.

  @TheRegister Not surprising at all. The vast majority of phishing attempts I come across are hosted via @Namecheap, and they’ve never taken action when I’ve reported the domains. I transferred all my domains out a few years ago because of **** like this.

  @Namecheap no its in what you call personal, although strange name for it, support eventually fixed it for me, but really, this is 2021, and not only should we be able to add them, we should see all of them, your portal only displays one of them ipv4 or v6, not both, not good enough in 2021

  @nemesis09 We have website hosted on Namecheap. It is just a WordPress site, so it should not be to hard to move. On the other hand no one else on the project will want to deal with it, or understand the point. I guess the thing to do is wait and fix it if it blows up.

  @Namecheap trying to get to the homepage to look for a domain and I’m getting a 520 error. Is the site down? I just got a .me domain from your student program. That’s when it started happening.

  @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.

  @Diverter_NoKYC mate I'm hoping for your help.. i'm following your guide to host a vps and hit an early snag in that i'm unable to change my reverse DNS in namecheap. "Could not find A record in your domains DNS". i'm sending you sats regardless but if you can offer advice, thx in advance!!

  @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.

  @bt_uk Any issues with email forwarded to accounts via @namecheap hosts today. Support call says not but mail forwarded to any account outside BT control arrives fine??

  Barry (@fightsfortheusr) reported 38 minutes ago

  @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.

  Derrick (@ColourArtwork) reported 39 minutes ago

  @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.

  @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.

  @maskuplease @metpoliceuk I have spoken to LAPD AGAIN and MET. I have spoken with NAMECHEAP INC. I have also written to google for right to be forgotten and outlined the stalking and what's been going on. I have contacted victim support at the advice from MET. Lawyer pointed out copyright.

  @p0welly I have reported so many fraudulent domains to @Namecheap it’s a joke. I don’t know what the hell makes them such a host of choice. Perhaps it’s their inept security response. It’s taken weeks to shut down scam domains at times and they’ve had enough evidence to drown.

  Ross McKillop (@rsmck) reported 46 minutes ago

  @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.

  Hi @Namecheap a client of mine is having issues to login on your website to pay for his services with you. I tried recovering his login credentials but unsuccessfully. Can you help us?

  @nullcookies @phat_hobbit @Namecheap Yeah, but, have you considered that they already don’t give a **** about 85% of reports? How are they supposed to handle that many reports to not give a **** about??

  @phat_hobbit @Namecheap To report aiding and abetting, please first submit a support ticket so our team can not give a ****.

  @elisedopson Which platform do you use for hosting? I usually ask my hosting platform (namecheap) for help with any tech issues and they have never disappointed.
