spencer :) (@spencerpauly) reportedThis morning I asked codex: "move my site to vercel to save costs". It asked me to login to namecheap for my dns records. "Ohh, move the nameservers to cloudflare too". 1 hour later - both are migrated.

VictualBro (@Victual_Bro) reportedAppears that @ProtonMail is down for the same exact reason that Namecheap was down last week. Curious. Cyber attack? "Identified - We have identified a critical cooling failure in our Frankfurt datacenter. We are currently in the process of shifting traffic to our backups sites."

Brenda | GenX UGC Creator (@GenXRetroUGC) reported@solomonony1 @Namecheap Yes!! Thankfully I’m able to login this morning
-
Adithya 🚀 (@adithyashreshti) reported@jain_harshit Cloudflare. Better management and support, then 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.

Eradicating illegal website (@JakawaEIWHunter) reported@spaceship @Namecheap domain reminder[.]me/mwttutama is registered with your service, please suspend it immediately.

SolPay (@SolPayCash) reported5/ This launch was delayed a bit by the recent Namecheap DNS outage, but we’re moving again. This week we’ll publish a video demo from inside SolPay Sandbox showing the Commerce Graph in action. 2,000+ products is just the starting dataset.

Dusyant kumar (@Dusyantkmr) reportedDay 5: Building in Public 🙌🏻 If you want to start a startup in 2026, the cost of building has never been lower. Claude = coding ($20/mo) GPT API = AI features (~$20/mo) Supabase = backend (Free) Vercel = deployment (Free) Namecheap = domain (~$12/yr) Stripe/Dodopayments = payments (2.9%/transaction) GitHub = version control (Free) Resend = emails (Free) ProductBridge = feedback (Free) Clerk = auth (Free) Cloudflare = DNS (Free) PostHog = analytics (Free) Sentry = error tracking (Free) Upstash = Redis (Free) Pinecone = vector DB (Free) You can get surprisingly far with ~$40/month.

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.

Scott Smith (@4tears_RSS) reported@Victual_Bro @Namecheap No ****. I cannot send woprk e-mails!!! Again. This is BS.
-
S️im Fleshulator (@xanthirus) reported@DecrepitProwl If you switch to namecheap you can get the email service much cheaper and renting a vps for your web hosting yourself would also be much cheaper, would just take a little more work to set up. I haven't checked out the site, but if you are just hosting photography you can get away with a lot less.
-
VictualBro (@Victual_Bro) reported@Namecheap Privateemail down... not like I have work to do or anything.
-
Tapas Adhikary | tapaScript (@tapasadhikary) reported@MossAIStudio @Namecheap This is a huge issue.
-
thedreammaker.eth💹🧲 (@crichcrypto) reported@NamecheapCEO @Namecheap Seems my website is down again!
-
The Ran Network (@therannetwork) reported@Namecheap Your problems are causing us problems. Are you considering some form of compensation for leaving your customers mute and blind for days?
-
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.

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
-
🪖 (@hiddentoni) reported@Namecheap my website is still down please!!!!
-
Ryan (@jrya7) reported@TimAllard @Railway The day I finally shipped my first app was the day namecheap went down 🥲
-
Tapas Adhikary | tapaScript (@tapasadhikary) reported@Namecheap It’s surely not only an interface change. - It is slow - Editing appointments doesn't work intermittently - Can not view attachments without downloading unlike before - Appointment doesn't go through Schedule a call with me, will show you all for free.

Etta egbe (@ettaegbe) reported@taylorotwell When Namecheap went down, I wondered if the cloud in Laravel cloud is actually cloud as in if a data center in the US fails a data center in Europe can still serve our applications.
-
Gonzalo Andrés (@gonzalote) reportedNamecheap is down again @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO
-
Alessandro Bogliari (@alexeidos) reported@Namecheap someone is impersonating our company using a domain that is very similar to ours. They are scamming influencers while using our company name. I reported this to your abuse team 7 days ago. no response. Can someone get back to us ASAP and take this domain down?
-
Eradicating illegal website (@JakawaEIWHunter) reported@spaceship @Namecheap @Namecheap domain hadiahhandphonemawar[.]com is registered with your service, please suspend it immediately.

Jeff(The Human) ∞♓🇲🇽🇬🇱🇻🇪🇵🇸🇺🇦 (@jeffchao228) reported@420GHz @Namecheap I know this, but apparently the Porn Bots trying to advertise Porn Cam links seems to have been halted right now as I've not seen any of those bots on here, wonder if this means the "Stripchat" bots are using the service for their Cyber Crime activity and may have overloaded it?
-
Krishna Singh (@krishnasinghdev) reported@tapasadhikary @Namecheap I never liked namecheap / godaddy, don't know why people choose it over simple providers like cloudflare where they charge same amount for 1 or 10 years
-
Alex (@viralityexpert) reported@Namecheap Whats going on right now is insane! I lost a $3k/m retainer cuz of this bullshit. It’s been days now I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life. Used namecheap for a decade starting various domains in the ecom space, I’ll be ******* of as soon as they get their **** together enough that I even can.

Artyom Shimanski (@a_shimanski) reported@hectorivand @Namecheap @Cloudflare that's basically what I want, half my inbox is stuff I never agreed to
