  • varunvchandak Varun Chandak (@varunvchandak) reported

    @Namecheap I have always been in touch with live support hence no ticket id. They help me very effectively but the issue is why its happening so frequently. Our work stops due to this.

  • fydnow Prateek (Fydnow Domains) (@fydnow) reported

    @thatnsun @BlockBuddy01 @TLD_Owner Can you help me this my first experience with handshake domain. I purchase a .elite domain from namecheap, can you resell this domain?

  • iambrainland Olawale Isaac Odejide (@iambrainland) reported

    @BrandAlready @Namecheap One of the poor experience I also had was when I tried extending renewal to one of my names that was already registered with them since last year. I couldn’t get it done, it also came up with this 💬 icon and I was forced to transfer the domain out. Imagine if its about to expire

  • varunvchandak Varun Chandak (@varunvchandak) reported

    @Namecheap Unhappy with the service. After every few days I need to connect with the support to get my IP whitelisted. I dont know why its happening every week or 10 days?

  • antoniolocandro Antonio Locandro (@antoniolocandro) reported

    @Y2kStack true, but in my experience support at least from @Namecheap has been great for stuff like this. I just installed mine last Monday

  • theNallWhite Nall White (@theNallWhite) reported

    @Namecheap The issue is with FreeIPA, 389 directory server had no issue with the cert.

  • 500mk500 Mikhail Kasimov (@500mk500) reported

    @TeamDreier @openathens @Namecheap + login.openathens[.]net.libmi[.]me

  • varunvchandak Varun Chandak (@varunvchandak) reported

    @Namecheap Please look into this. This creates problems for us while working.

  • theNallWhite Nall White (@theNallWhite) reported

    @Namecheap Sorry just wanted to say my issue is resolved

  • RufflySpawned RufflySpawned (@RufflySpawned) reported

    Quite disappointed with the significant delays and lost emails I've had since using @Namecheap's email forwarding service. Looks like corners cut and a degraded and inconsistent service offered. They seem to ignore customer tickets about this too. Best avoided. :(

  • catchdeleted Neeraj Verma (@catchdeleted) reported

    Namecheap renewal for a Dot Com is 14.7 USD !! Time to move the portfolio to a domain investor-friendly registrar. Any suggestions ? @Namecheap #Sucks

  • CynthiaAI_ CynthiaLabs (@CynthiaAI_) reported

    @Namecheap 😳H-help? On the more serious side tho... we talked for long enough that I actually got a response from your support team and the ticket is resolved. amazing. Now uh.... what should I pay my secret-agent cat? You seem to have experience with that

  • frank42 El Dragonista (@frank42) reported

    @Namecheap Have a look at the error message in my already provided screenshot and you get an idea of the problem and how to fix it, without consuming even more of my spare time.

  • _cssko cssko (@_cssko) reported

    @Boringstein Shout out namecheap, for now you could set up a redirect to the archived site but I'll take a look in the morning since I'm in bed and pinned down by cats

  • Freddy69173971 Freddy (@Freddy69173971) reported

    Now @Namecheap claims the reason for their incredibly poor response time is: "Please note that every time you send us a message your ticket goes to the end of the queue, this is how the support system works." Wow, what a brilliant system.

  • afatbeardedman Yosvanis Ramos (@afatbeardedman) reported

    @DThompsonDev Currently I'm thinking on creating a site like the one that you're talking about, but the biggest problem with me is my location, that being said I think that @Namecheap or @Netlify offer good solutions. Also a question, did u recommend github pages for doing this?

  • TeamDreier Gizmo (@TeamDreier) reported

    @Namecheap @openathens @Namecheap seen from past attacks from the SL group(s) the url will be something like /login.openathens.net.libip.me/auth/edu-dns The edu-dns is the tricky part because the SL can target all OpenAthens customers that way with spear phishing mails against the customers.

  • Freddy69173971 Freddy (@Freddy69173971) reported

    @Namecheap support is really bad. I didn't know until I needed them. I have been locked out of my domains since early April. Despite having been a customer for nearly 20 years, the staff at @Namecheap couldn't care less.

  • Freddy69173971 Freddy (@Freddy69173971) reported

    try to login and let us know the results. ---- This message makes absolutely no sense. I have gone through so much hassle with @Namecheap to reset my phone number and email address, including sending pics of myself with my ID, yet still all get from them is a

  • joseter Jose Prakash (@joseter) reported

    @Namecheap suggested me to get manual approval from support before I could handreg a #Crypto based domain, because they thought it could contain abusive phrase(s). Although I kindof understood what could have triggered this, it was in reality no way abusing anything. Weird! 🥴

  • ABDLMOMMY Mommy Madeline, PhD 🍼🧷🧸👶🏻👶🏼👶🏽👶🏾👶🏿 (@ABDLMOMMY) reported

    @Namecheap @dalgato I emailed you the DMCA complaint that my intellectual property attorney created. He said, by law, you have to take down all plagiarized content on that website you host, after receiving my email. According to ReadNotify, you read it. I see the site is still up.

  • joseter Jose Prakash (@joseter) reported

    @Namecheap Good that namecheap has such protections. But chat support was not able to give clarity why I cannot register. Ended up registering it with DD.

  • TeamDreier Gizmo (@TeamDreier) reported

    @Namecheap @openathens @Namecheap the SL group tries again. Please take down the New domain /libsu.me

  • NamesOfLondon Phrases.for.Sale 🗹 (@NamesOfLondon) reported

    @Hey__tx @Namecheap @coinbase I also suspect the vast majority of their users are "normies" who have never heard of handshake My guess is the reported sales by Richard of 10K was significantly inflating the truth - otherwise he wouldn't be so keen to drive us out of business ... and he's trying VERY hard

  • BrandAlready Sten Lillieström (@BrandAlready) reported

    @Namecheap @iambrainland Examplifying stuff helps understanding. You can examplify without revealing details about specific cases. It boils down to if you want to help customers understand your policy or to get hammered with it seemingly without reason.

  • iambrainland Olawale Isaac Odejide (@iambrainland) reported

    @BrandAlready @Namecheap They need to be clear about the said policy and help end users understand better.

  • Freddy69173971 Freddy (@Freddy69173971) reported

    @Namecheap Absolute worst customer service. I have been trying to regain access to my account with this awful company for almost two months. Unbelievable incompetence, non-responsive, useless staff. When they finally do respond, it's like they are talking to someone else,

  • Namecheap Namecheap.com (@Namecheap) reported

    @ToxicJ73978315 @cPanel Please be advised that Namecheap is not providing hosting services for the reported domains. Hence we have no ability to oversee the data transmitted through them. It would be helpful to contact the hosting providers of the domains in question in order to resolve the issue.

  • TNJohnGlavin John Glavin (@TNJohnGlavin) reported

    @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO I just sent a message to support. The ticket # given is ggw 891-65829

  • BrandAlready Sten Lillieström (@BrandAlready) reported

    @Namecheap @iambrainland We are talking very fuzzy stuff here. Do you have the means to decipher what is "illegal", "activity" and "issue"? Can I have a made up example?
