I've paid for a year of hosting and domain. I need this website online. I literally spend every 5-25 minutes I'm having to verify the SAME device, I turned off 2 step because it was taking extra time and at this point I'm completely vulnerable to hacking having to turn off my vpn and security app just to use this website and it still requires a log in 2-4 times an hour, a code, I verify it, it's the same device, my ip address, same network, and customer service said I must be the one triggering their system. I have screenshots. Stop gaslighting. It's your website doing it and if I keep logging in and verifying my activity, it's OBVIOUSLY ME. I'll leave you alone next year but for now I want what I've spent so much time trying to access. This I'd ridiculous. I've never had to turn so many safety apps and software off and 2 step off because a website insists for 'safety'. After all that it STILL filled up my email today. I've been trying to get my website online for over 24 hours straight. I have 2 to do and basically got maybe a couple of actual hours working on it total out of 24. Do you or don't you offer hosting? At this point I don't even care if you removed password entirely from my account as long as those websites go live I don't care who hacks me anymore. I just want access to what I PAID for and spent so much TIME on. It's your website doing it so don't turn it around on the victim. I have screenshots of everything and my phone has logs of everything too, proving i had no vpn on(which is unsafe but whatever) and was on the same device, same network, same browser.Initial Complaint

I created a website using Wix and I wanted to connect my domain to wix. On 2/26/25 I begin conversations with Namecheap's support team via email and couldn't get this resolved. On multiple occasions I've reached out requesting an authorization code so that wix can complete the task for me because 1 I don't have time and 2 I'm not a techy suffice it to say I'm going around in circles with these people. They keep making request of me like a pin number and I have given it each time they ask however they refuse to my request. This is absolutely the worst company in any industry to do deal with. They don't have a telephone number, so I think this is the reason behind them ignoring customers. I find them to be morally reprehensible I hate this company I have wasted a whole day just trying to have my domain connectedInitial Complaint

I purchased a Domain and website hosting from NameCheap and within days I started receiving phones calls. It started out as 1-2 per day. It is up to nearly 20 per day now. They are asking me if I need help to design my website. My phone number is not on my website or any other public forum. The only place my phone number was associated with the website was through NameCheap. I immediately got a ****** Voice number and changed it on NameCheap, but it was too late. I have had my same phone number since I first got a cell phone over 25 years ago and do not want to change my number. I am on the DO Not Call Registry even. I never received one single SPAM call prior to this. I believe NameCheap sold my phone number to telemarketers.Initial Complaint

I did that, get unlocked, next day my domains are shut down but hosting is still active due to abuse?? NO email, no refund nothing. Now they wont refund me or honor their 30 day money back. Customer support tells me to wait ***** comes back with nothing. I want my money back!!!Initial Complaint

They advertise they provide DNS API based management then when you buy a domain they say you have to be paying more per year to be able to use it than is advertise pre paying for a domain.
