Sam (@Samzwxk) reported@Namecheap whats the deal? Are we sure we want more data centers? Get your **** together.
-
Victorydm | Ads Expert (@victorydchair) reported@Akpanthankgod_ No one should be using namecheap is 2026 though Hostinger way better! More reliable, better support, better interface and usability as well
-
Tekzilver 🇮🇳 ✝️☮️ (@tekzilver) reported@bhartzer @Namecheap makes sense. an outage that take down everything for hours with no recovery ETA should be food for some serious thought.
-
Eng. Yazan Abbasi, PhD. (@abbasi_yazan) reported@Namecheap @NamecheapCEO This is not transparency. Your promises and timelines keep changing. Just tell us the REAL situation and give us an HONEST ETA. And arguing defensively with frustrated customers in the replies while their businesses are down? Seriously? We need facts, not PR.
-
Gatekeeping Queer Billionaire Jeff Gayzos (@jeffgayzos) reported@Namecheap This is absolutely ridiculous. One data center in Phoenix affects the whole ******* service you provide all day no emails. This is ******.. This is negligence irresponsible. You should be sued into nonexistence.
-
Biz-find (@bizfindonline) reportedIts them Eclipses I'm telling you! They cause all sorts of mayhem all over the world, this week couldnt pay bills online , money went out of my account, Namecheap servers crashed leaving 5 odd million sites down a good 12 hours, what happened to you?
-
badr (@badrDev_) reported@mrrrdaisy @Namecheap The Namecheap website being back online does not solve our problem. What matters is restoring customer hosting services. Our systems are still down, our clients are already complaining, and our business is being affected. We need our services restored—not just the official website.
-
Thankgod Akpan • Paid Ads Expert (@Akpanthankgod_) reported@Ibb_Sadiq Impacted by namecheap or just bad day in general
-
Michael Simons (@MickySimonz) reported@danwedin @NamecheapCEO I just logged into my account too and I'm getting renewal emails from Namecheap on my websites... Can you imagine? Meanwhile my websites are still down since morning. 😒
-
Social Ubiquity (@social_ubiquity) reported@NamecheapCEO We are having some major problems with all of our clients sending us emails all day asking for answers on this. We have hundreds of clients websites on all of the servers through Namecheap. This is a major fallout.
-
badr (@badrDev_) reportedNow that services are finally returning after nearly 10 hours of downtime, what concrete action will @Namecheap take regarding the losses suffered by affected businesses? Will customers receive compensation or SLA service credits? We also expect a full incident report and clear measures to prevent this from happening again. #NamecheapDown
-
Dennis Layden (@d3layd) reportedIt's now over an hour since the ETA timeframe passed based on @NamecheapCEO's post and service is still down. I really can't stand namecheap but this was the final straw. As soon as services are back online, I'll be moving all my domains.
-
mutumia murogi (@africanhype) reported@bhartzer @Namecheap Say your hosting service goes down. You log into your DNS provider and point the domain where exactly? Are you telling people they should keep separate copies of their websites with different hosts?? So that if one goes down, you just point it to the other? Shut ******** up 🚮
-
Dane (@danearden) reported@djomla1000x @NamecheapCEO @Namecheap My EasyWP hosted sites are still down.
-
Dani (@irondanilive) reported@Namecheap @solomonony1 How the hell you’re not able to solve this problem faster??? You affect businesses drastically!!!!! And you keep silent!!! You can’t be reached! You don’t have support! No one is talking or answering!!!!
-
Leon Kiriliuk (@leonkiriliuk) reported@NamecheapCEO @BobbyJayOTA @Namecheap You have a customer list. It would have been nice to send out an email letting us know that services are down and someone is working to restore your largest data center. Saves your customers a lot of time and agony trying to figure out why their site is down.
-
imsela • Ai & Tools (@imsela_ai) reported@NamecheapCEO We can only login to namecheap but we can't use Cpanel !!!!
-
TEJ (@sartejt) reported@NamecheapCEO Moving all my domains to Cloudflare. 10+ year customer with Namecheap but this is the final straw. Sayonara.
-
Lauren Fagen (@Lorncat) reported@ExplainerKE @Namecheap They ruined ours without mention of migration options (or lack thereof), compensation, or timely updates when specific times were given (ie 3-3:30pm fix estimate, no update for hours). The only explanation for that type of communication mishandling is mass early onset dementia
-
STUP PLAYS (@stupplays) reportedAll functions have been returned, and the site is fully working again. Thank you, Namecheap. This was a headache. Happy you guys solved the issue and everything is working again. @Namecheap
-
Gonzalo Andrés (@gonzalote) reportedThis single day of @Namecheap service interruption reduced my life expectancy by about 20 years 🥶😨
-
Roberto C. Alemán (@RobertoC_A) reportedThe issue with #Namecheap has hurt me due to the poor image created by my software's website being down. I am looking for #hosting providers willing to host the official website for the PON-DB database engine and discuss strategic partnerships.
-
Gentra (@Gentraxyz) reported@a_shimanski @Namecheap @Cloudflare Spaceship has the same issue Their hosting is down too
-
Daniel of NGNSTX (@obiokeke_) reportedAt least, I will stop bragging about Namecheap for a long time. The communication is baaaad. The only reason I'm just not mad is that they have nearly never had a downtime.
-
Best AI Tools ! (@Impact177) reportedNamecheap is DOWN — 5,000+ servers offline after cooling failure at Phoenix DC. Websites, DNS, email all gone dark. 🧵
-
Toheeb Yusuf (@TByusuff) reported@Akpanthankgod_ @victorydchair Namecheap wey inject all my websites with virus in 2024 then asked me to pay for a plugin to clear it.. Deleted everything. And moved to Hostmaria No problems since then
-
Loki (@lokidotdev) reportedNamecheap is under maintenance, so all of my backend services are down again ;(
-
Devin Kurant (@DevinKofsky) reported@MickySimonz @janxpm @Namecheap I was chatting with support, and they disconnected early. Can’t really blame them lol
-
1000x (@djomla1000x) reported@bhartzer @Namecheap yeah as soon as i get access to my dashboard i am migrating to a REAL hosting company. for namecheap to be down this long as a small business owner I AM FURIOUS. They will ROT and deserve to ROT after today

Gregory Staffa (@GregStaffaMedia) reported@NamecheapCEO #Namecheap #CEO step down
