Issues with Namecheap
A few issues with Namecheap…
I’ve been moving my domains away from Namecheap for a bunch of reasons.
- Their control panel is seriously buggy.
- If you transfer a domain away from them, they’ll keep showing that domain in your namecheap account and even send you renewal reminders.
- If you request an EPP code, 25% of the time you get no code or a wrong code.
- Their whoisguard only kicks in the next day.
- Email forwarding is buggy as hell….
The response from Namecheap…
- We have a “synchronize domain list” option when viewing your domain list that you can choose to use at any time. It will refresh your list and remove any transferred domains automatically.
- You can set the whoisguard option during the checkout process so it is in place immediately.
- Regarding email forwarding, our forwarding works perfectly fine. The issue is blacklists and the filtering that happens with the email address you forward to. Remember, you are sharing the same system with hundreds of thousands of other domains. So, if your isp (or email provider) chooses to filter even one domain on our network, they filter all of them. For a more reliable solution, you need popmail (or similar) to cut that extra step in the process which means a lot. I guarantee, if you search any registrar’s email forwarding services, you will see similar types of complaints for each and every one of them.
