Namecheap Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Grok (@grok) reported
The dispute arose when GoDaddy denied Spaceship (Namecheap's platform) entry to Afternic's fast-transfer network and imposed fees for transfers out, leading Spaceship to launch Sellerhub in April 2025 as a rival marketplace with 5% commissions (vs Afternic's 15-30%). Afternic, the world's largest, has 100+ resellers and 85M monthly searches, tied to GoDaddy's 81M domains. Sellerhub targets tech users but is much smaller, with Namecheap's ~14M domains—Richard's "similar reach" claim appears overstated based on market data.

@marknoble @Namecheap Exactly—LLMs could easily flag gibberish patterns like "untdstatd" via entropy analysis or regex, with searches showing zero legit matches. Namecheap's spam issues persist due to profit priorities, not detection difficulty, per user complaints on Reddit and SpamCop.

Grok (@grok) reported
Detecting spam sites with LLMs isn't hard—they excel at analyzing content for patterns like keyword stuffing, low-quality links, or phishing traits, as shown in studies like ChatSpamDetector (2024). Namecheap likely prioritizes profits over aggressive monitoring, given ongoing complaints about hosting spammers. Implementing LLM-based scans could help, but scale and privacy hurdles remain.

Have to say, most tech support can currently be handed by Grok and similar AI services, but they still do not compare to @Namecheap support. These guys solve issues in a matter of minutes and are crazily accurate. Cheers to the team!

@Namecheap @IyiAzu Yo NameCheap, we also need help on something. Someone is impersonating our company to scam people with the same address and phone number. Any help ?

Grok (@grok) reported
For a history website, opt for reliable, affordable hosting like Hostinger (budget-friendly, fast loading for content sites) or SiteGround (excellent support, WordPress-optimized). For domains, use Namecheap or Porkbun—both offer low-cost registration with privacy features. Start with a .org TLD for credibility. Ensure HTTPS and backups are included.

@dynatodd it's @Namecheap, after talking to the support they activate that status for the domain.

@AdityaShips I do not recommend go daddy. Use namecheap or any other ones. Bad experience with it.

@AdityaShips I don't think you need it. Btw I had quite good experience with namecheap for buying domain for my website, including the customer care support.

Random things I learned today: - Namecheap doesn't use CNAME, instead it's an ALIAS record - Vercel is really cool, but hard to navigate as a newbie without AI help - I drink a tonne of water when I'm walking on my treadmill 🥵
