-
Jai (@jai_ozzie) reported@Namecheap 14+ hours of business email disruption. Emails bounced. Business impacted. Namecheap’s compensation? $10. Yes, $10. Does @Namecheap seriously believe this demonstrates accountability to a small business after a major infrastructure outage?

Sesy Ai (@Sesy_Agency) reported@Namecheap I have the NC-GPA-2874 Ticket, but I Still Don't have a solution. I've spent 1.5 hrs on this, and there's still no fix. Can you please expedite this?
-
Farmercologist (@farfesadee) reportedSo apparently, Contabo newly introduced a free firewall feature which was enabled on the account and as a result, every incoming traffic was being dropped. More so, the issue Namecheap had last Thursday affected our domain as well, the DNS record completely stopped communicating with the server’s public IP. All issues fixed💯💯💯. Now I can rest😒😒😒 This is one of the things you get for working as a Bsckend Engineer.
-
Jai (@jai_ozzie) reported3/3 Unfortunately, Namecheap’s response has been to minimise the impact, hide behind what its systems recorded, and offer a token $10 credit. @NamecheapCEO — is this genuinely the level of accountability you believe Namecheap should demonstrate after a major outage?
-
Saul Flores Jr. (@SaulFloresJr) reportedJust bought a couple more domains while I’m still negotiating the sale of an older one. Time to build something new. This one is more physics related. No idea what it becomes yet. I’ve just been going down a rabbit hole of light, electromagnetics, hardware, space, and a bunch of things I barely understood a few weeks ago. Only one way to find out where it goes. Keep building. Thanks @Namecheap
-
Karim Abd Alwhab (@karem_alwhab) reported@Namecheap uh oh, namecheap hosting.. down again?
-
Jb (@jbzale) reported@fytagee @Porkbun porkbun is better in the way that they nuke the entire account when a phishing domain is detected sinec bad actors normally register multiple domains in the same account compared to namecheap who only takes down that domain.
-
Feyijimi Emmanuel Olubiyi (@emmalexing) reported@Namecheap @Namecheap How can a database file of a website disappear when the database user is intact?, I need an explanation, yet you refuse to provide support
-
Cap-EO 👨🏾💻 (@EOEboh) reportedThe way namecheap was down yesterday is scary.. we might start seeing more elongated downtimes like this
-
Bassem Aly (@basaly89) reportedAre you down again? @Namecheap
-
Melanie S Reed (@MelanieSReed) reportedAlso, NameCheap appears to have restored all service at this point. The "significant outage" was due to a cooling system failure at the RadiusDC: Phoenix data center. Ah, those data centers...again.
-
Jai (@jai_ozzie) reportedDuring the outage, emails were inaccessible and external senders received bounce-backs. I tested from Gmail and Yahoo. A client also received a bounce-back. Namecheap’s CEO @HilanKlein publicly acknowledged the email outage and said affected emails may be delayed. 2/4
-
Ahsan Parwez (@AhsanParwez) reported@codewith55 none, both have become worse, NameCheap had the worst downtime some time ago that proved they don't have redundancy plan if entire datacenter goes down.
-
Adithya 🚀 (@adithyashreshti) reportedWTF, @Namecheap. Need recommendations. For YEARS, I’ve recommended Namecheap over GoDaddy because the support was great and I trusted the experience. Now I’m finding that EVERY SINGLE domain I searched on Namecheap’s WHOIS less than 24 hours ago is suddenly “taken.” Not one. Every. Single. One. People on Reddit raised this exact issue months ago. I defended Namecheap because I’d never experienced it myself and even mentioned it is trust worthy. Well, I faced it now. I searched each domain ONCE. Just once. I wasn’t repeatedly checking them or trying to register them. And now they’re all “taken.” Maybe it’s a coincidence. But it’s a pretty damn weird one because every domain I that I had checked for availability is gone at easily 10x the price. I’m seriously considering moving everything out of Namecheap. Who are you guys using instead? Already using Cloudflare for .com, but I still have a lot of domains at NC.

Pils10 (@PilsZehn) reported@Nishanttt05 Namecheap, but I like Cloudflare as well... Namecheaps support is tier 1 though..

Julian Schubert (@julian_durian) reported@Gaus450 Before I bought mine at Namecheap, I moved everything to Cloudflare after their huge outage.
