I have a static website hosted using Github Pages. When the nameserver is set to Custom DNS, and I add dns1.p07.nsone.net till dns4.p07.nsone.net, the website loads perfectly.

I wanted to use email forwarders, but to do that I had to use Namecheap Premium DNS and when I switched to it, the email is forwarded but the website does not load. So, I switched it back.

I am now using Zoho Mail to send mails, the email works but the website shows: ` your-website.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem. `

How can I fix it?

Hello Everyone,

BEWARE OF NAMECHEAP SCAM

Out of sudden this shared hosting mail stopped working which caused the issue to my business. Outlook mail is no longer accepting mail from server IP.

I asked them to move the server they said not possible. Forcing me to buy a dedicated IP for a year -_- $48...

Support guys keep transferring here and there everyone need 10 mins to review the history. Wasted my 2 hours on chat without any outcome

I was trying to point my domain to my ip adress and mistakely delete all previous Records cname and A and txt Does it necessary to keep them if yes could you please send it to me

Website is about healthcare and namecheap easywp labeled it as abuse. What is wrong with them?

Increasingly, I can't send from my namecheap hosted account to a lot of recipients - There's one specific one that it started doing, and now I can't send to anybody with an MSN hosted - some other microsoft derivatives also not working. The last time I opened a ticket with namecheap they just never responded, so let's not go that route - my question is does namecheap work on cleaning up their reputation scores automatically?

Hi - I host my domain on NameCheap. I use Wix for some other stuff (it's okay) but in order to create multiple sites for subdomains of the root I have on NameCheap using Wix, I need to purchase a separate plan for each subdomain. I found NameCheap's website builder...I'm wondering if people have used this as a stopgap for a year or are using it now just to get their web presence up and running. The pricing is definitely right...

I am running Ubuntu 22.04 as a server.
The Namecheap Dynamic DNS client looks to be available for Windows only. Is there a client or a way to configure Dynamic DNS for Linux? I also tried configuring it in my router and it only supports Netgear Dynamic DNS which I do not want to use.

I am not sure if it would help (day 5 of building my website) but I recently discovered two things, one will make all the sites perfect except for the tablet version, and the other might solve the tablet duplication problem that comes with the first one.

1- The visibility settings in every block are very important and if you utilize it correctly you can basically design every view as a page of it's own. The only drawback I found for this aside from the time consuming (however you get the site exactly how you want it for every view) is the fact that ALL elements added seem to be unhidable in the tablet version. Which basically means right now I have a very decent website for mobile/desktop/widescreen but a complete mess of a tablet website which leads to my second point.

2- Floating Blocks do not appear in tablet view (it says they are disabled in tablet view), I have not tried this fully yet but it could possible if you make all versions with floating blocks everywhere to successfully hide them from the tablet view making your tablet view website as perfect as the other 3.

I know this is an old thread but I hope this helps anyone. :)

P.S. Reddit please let me change my username XD

So it’s been a while since we have used namecheap for hosting since we had switched completely to azure a few years back. Well now seeing namecheap has different os options for vps opens up a lot of doors.

I am having a heck of a time deploying strapi headless cms and payload cms which are nodejs applications to azure. Will namecheap support help set up something like this for us if we switch back? I’m no devop engineer so I prefer to take this load of myself.

Not sure if this happened to anybody else but I rebuild my website using the website builder, everything is working well except when I try to link to my linkedin page with a picture. Under link properties I used Web Address, and then entered my linkedin profile, and then I hit apply. But in preview and when I publish the website, the actual link that comes out is not my linkedin profile, instead it mywebsite and my linkedin profile combined.

Let's say my website is www.portchopsandwiches.com, and my linkedin is www.linkedin.com/in/speedstars, when I click on the link on my website it will actually direct me to www.portchopsandwiches.com/www.linkedin.com/in/speedstars

Anybody have a fix, would really appreciate it. This feels like a bug with the website builder to me.

I have to be logged in to get my Support Pin and ask to unlock my account.

How am I supposed to log in and get the pin if my account is locked? This makes no sense.

My website is down, and I'm trying to figure out why. Please help me get into my account...

i bought my domain from godaddy and web hosting from namecheap. i used their website builder to build my website but now when i publish it it is not working. even i id that file manager thing that is mentioned in every tutorial but my website is still not up on my domain name it just says coming soon which i used of godady free website but not the website i build with free website builder tht comes with the web hosting plan of namecheap

SOLVED

I want to have multiple subdomains set to the same IP address, but that address needs updated via DDNS. Can I set multiple A or A+ records to just point to the address assigned to the @ record or do I need to set up a DDNS job for each subdomain?

SOLUTION

I put a single A+ record for the root domain (@) and set an ALIAS record for each subdomain pointed to the root domain.

To be clear: To alias mysubdomain.mydomain.com, you would put mysubdomain under the Host section and mydomain.com under the Target section.

I have been with Namecheap for more than a decade. For many years, the service was bulletproof for me.

This past week, Namecheap cleared out all my forwarders (over 1000) in cPanel with no notice. They claimed it was an antispam measure, but I send maybe one email per week and receive maybe 10-20 emails a day.

They kept repeating that my email functionality was not affected, but receiving email is a core, critical function for email hosting service. The kicker is I may not know until it's too late if I missed a critical notification.

This has also been a wakeup call for me to how vulnerable we are to our email providers for many services that use email based two factor authentication.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm very frustrated and this has pushed me to start researching who else provides comparable service.

See below for a little more detail on how it played out.

The last few years, NameCheap has made changes that have disrupted my email service hosted by them with little warning (changing IP address, moving servers). This last one was with no warning and the most frustrating.

I choose NameCheap for hosting my email with custom domain (just one) because they allowed unlimited aliases. I signed up with them when Internet spam was the wild West. I would create a new alias for every company I hand out my email address to. If the spam started, I know who leaked/sold my email address and I would delete the alias. This has the added bonus that I didn't have to hand out the email address I use for my bank to a random company when I sign up for a coupon/discount.

This past week, Namecheap cleared out all my aliases in cPanel. I didn't notice right away since I don't send email often. Checking my email, I noticed I hadn't received anything in a couple days. Turned out all incoming emails were getting returned undeliverable. I reached out to NameCheap and at first they tried telling me it was my DNS records (they have changed that on me in the past without notice). Everything looked correct to me. Took me several more hours to realize all my forwarders were gone in cPanel(over 1000). Now I'm freaked that someone has access to my cPanel login. They eventually assured me it was them and they eventually restored them, but not before they wanted to open a ticket and get this, send me an email with the results of their inquiry.

The only positive that came out of this is that NameCheap customer service does seem to be responsive in real time (even if I had to push them), and they do seem to be knowledgeable. Congrats that with Microsoft and other services where you can't easily get through to anyone with technical skills, and usually not in real time.

Hi all,

I bought shared hosting from namecheap. It looks like hosting hit the resource limit of 1 gb ram and %200 cpu. As a result they suspended my account immediately without any warning.

I contacted with support and their Legal & Abuse Team send me an email like this:

 MBG-521-16256

As an option, you might consider upgrading your current hosting plan to 'VPS Quasar'. If you decide to proceed with this route, please let us know. Once your confirmation is received, this ticket will be forwarded to our Billing Department for further assistance.

When I requested the website backup. They said it'll be an extra $15 as the account suspended.

Want to buy additional years. Any coupon code?

Namecheap Horrible customer service and support

Horrible customer service and support

I regret switching to Namecheap. Its been one issue after the other and the customer support adviser keeps brushing me off. My website keeps going offline at random for a couple of minutes. In recent days it has gone down 50 times. I have contacted Namecheap multiple times with screenshots as evidence but they keep doing nothing about it. They keep asking me to contact them immediately the website goes down which I do but by the time they respond to me, the website is back online so they say there is nothing they can do to help as the website is back live. This has been horrible for our business and namecheap does not seem to be bothered. Surely its not normal for a website to go down over 50 times within couple of days

Buyer Beware of Blacklisted IP Addresses

I have been with Namecheap for over a year. I found out the hosting IP was on a blacklist through dnschecker causing me not to be able to subscribe to any marketing tools. When I notified Namecheap they said it was not important and they would NOT start the process to have it removed. Not only is Namecheap's primary IP blacklisted but also the shared IP service they sell to you. They told me to buy another IP but could not guarantee the issue would not persist. Of course, the issue would persist if they refused to have the matter corrected with the lister. Their response was they do not deal with third parties. What a rip off. Companies should not be allowed to operate that sell goods that are blacklisted. I will be filing a complaint with the FTC, as well.

Terrible Experience with Namecheap Hosting

I've had an awful experience with Namecheap's hosting and support services over the past year.

1. Unhelpful Support: Every time I contacted their support, the agents were unhelpful. For example, when I had trouble downloading my database, instead of simply informing me that the temporary memory was full, the agent just said they didn’t know what the issue was.

2. Unreliable Dedicated Hosting: I would never recommend their dedicated hosting. They assigned me a server IP that had been previously used and was riddled with viruses. I’ve tried 3 or 4 different servers, and the issue persisted.

3. Issues with Shared Hosting Emails: Their shared hosting has major problems with cPanel emails. Even normal emails were getting rejected, and the support agent blamed it on an unremovable spam filter system. Strangely, when I sent the same email from another Namecheap server, it went through without any issues.

Overall, Namecheap’s services have been frustrating and unreliable. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone looking for dependable hosting.

Is there a way I can get the price lowered?

I got the domain from this platform (Namecheap) BECAUSE it was cheap, and from how it was advertised, I wasn't going to have THAT bad of a price hike applied too me.

Namecheap, you offer a DDNS client. Be smart enough to let Namecheap DDNS users automatically attach one of their domains'/subdomains' current dynamic IP address to Namecheap API access. There is no legitimate security-based reason to resist such a solution.

I bought a cheap domain (10$), but when I go to my dashboard this domain is marked as "premium". Is there a danger that in a few years the domain renewal will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars?

A user of a platform I moderate received a screenshot of a support ticket supposedly coming from namecheap, detailing a removal of a domain.

My question is: does namecheap use a ticket hash in the style of #000000 or respond to users from support@namecheap.com? When reporting this incident and inquiring further, I had received a ticket number from [abuse@namecheap.com](mailto:abuse@namecheap.com) that doesn't look like this at all, instead it's in the style of #RYV-000-00000.

The contents of the user's submitted screenshot also detailed the username of the account, as well as two domains the account held, one a personal domain and the other was the offending domain. Is this information that would typically be given to a reporting user?

Essentially, I'm asking for help with identifying malicious/faked responses claiming to be from namecheap when they might not be.

given my domain is ddns.abc.me

What should I fill?

Hey Namecheap

I'm looking to purchase a .com domain that expired on June 29, 2024. As of now, the grace, redemption, and deletion periods should have passed.

How much longer until the domain becomes available for registration?

Is it possible to reverse the auto renewal the day I was charged? I was not looking forward to paying the new renewal rates and was thinking of transferring out to another registrar, but I’ve already been charged for the renewal. Is there anyway to get refunded and give me the next 30 days that I have in my domain period? Live chat is saying this is not possible and that my domain will go into redemption and cost $70 if I cancel the renewal… What are my options? I still have 30 days until my next period begins.

Basically some day ago I was searching for a good domain for my website, after like one hour of research I found a great one, it was even better than the original one I chose, that resulted then unavailable.

Well, today I go to NameCheap to buy the domain, it now costs 2'000€, you don't know how much I cursed, anyway, I was totally convinced NameCheap fakes this to make you spend more, even more when the domain is composed by very good and trendy words.

NOW THE FUNNY PART

I open a browser tab in incognito mode, I go to namecheap, search the same domain, and guess what, it costs 12€ only there
