-
thedreammaker.eth💹🧲 (@crichcrypto) reported@NamecheapCEO @Namecheap Seems my website is down again!
-
Artyom Shimanski (@a_shimanski) reported@TaskLemonWorks @Namecheap @Cloudflare thanks, the worst part is clients don't know why you went quiet
-
Abdi (@UTDAbdisa) reported@Negusnati @d4m1n I still have to respect the hustle. I think namecheap was down for some reason
-
Harmon Web (@harmonwebcom) reportedWhat we learnt from yesterday’s Namecheap outage: When your infrastructure sits in one data center abroad, one power/cooling failure can take down thousands of sites, emails, and domains at once. Local, distributed hosting reduces that single point of failure.

Α Ω Programmer (@OmegaNekoSimp) reportedNamecheap also had a power outage the other day... Interesting

Adtastic Hosting (@Adtastic) reported@NamecheapCEO I've been with @Namecheap for years. The service has been flawless. Unlike everywhere else I'd been over my 28 years in business. An event like this is unmistakably horrific and probably hurt a lot of of other people more than it hurt me. But I don't see that Namecheap was the cause of this event. Maybe they could have handled it better. Maybe they could have communicated it better. Maybe they could have mitigated it better. Hopefully, they've learned many lessons here and will adapt and adjust. I've learned my own lessons like taking DNS of my ded server and moving it elsewhere so if there is a next time I can recover myself and my clients quickly via our offsite backups. Having a small server in another region that does syncs of my important systems but stays offline and is available to fire up in a situation like this so I don't lose my billing system or other important processes. I'm not going to hold Namecheap responsible for this event. I will still be a loyal customer unless someday they become different and contrary. I expect they will learn and grow from this event just as I have. Try and have a nice day and accentuate the positive.

Sam (@samotechnology) reported@NamecheapCEO Hello @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO Many of my sites are still getting Error 503. Service Unavailable The server is temporarily unavailable. Please check back shortly. If this problem persists, please contact our Technical Support department.

Victorydm | Ads Expert (@victorydchair) reported@toyinomotoso Namecheap is actually terrible A good percentage of those who use them always complain of frequent hacks on their websites I voiced out my frustration two years ago after losing more than 10 domains to hacks I can't even account fro Turns out, many persons also experience same issues Namecheap setup process is also too manual, Most times you'll have to change DNS yourself if you get a sub domain You have to install SSL yourself and all Most new hosting platforms do all that for you without you touching anything On hostinger 3 clicks and you have your website ready to use

Lauren Fagen (@Lorncat) reported@Namecheap Guys you said to DM you I’m staring at my screen waiting. Don’t bait me with help and then run
-
Martin Guay (@MartinGuayOTT) reported@NamecheapCEO Namecheap messed up, but crying about lost ad spend while running your entire business on a budget shared host with zero failover plan is on you. Disaster recovery isn't optional. If one vendor going down tanks your revenue, you failed your own business. #fafo

Ken Ber (@lightwaxx) reported@NamecheapCEO @Namecheap I've been a user of your services for more than a decade and usually things are ok but when they are not, they really are not. Support, security and redundancy should be improved.
-
Old Charter (@OldCharterExp) reported@ZPEdisclosure My wife's site has been down for 3 days and she can't get into any of her other accounts because she set up 2FA through her email and website hosted with Namecheap! @Namecheap WTF???
-
$empiternal$trafe (@SempiternalStrf) reported@Namecheap Not only my website is down but also important files and folders from some subdomains i have seems to be gone, i hope everything will get restored, i had LOTS of work done for my clients.
-
NestFrog (@NestFrog) reported@Namecheap ssl reseller api service still not work
-
shon.vibes (@shonvibes) reported@Namecheap 's new interface for Private Email doesn't let you set up conversations for the inbox. Are they insane?! This shows a total lack of regard for the time management of business owners who use your service, Namecheap. I bet YOUR email has conversation view. #namecheapdown
-
Lauren (@Lorncat) reported@NamecheapCEO Support team at NameCheap is saying they don’t have an ETA for remaining users. In response to whether this would take weeks/months, they kept saying “It may be restored much sooner; we simply don't have a specific timeframe to provide at the moment.” So possibly years too
-
Gary Kriebel (@GaryKriebel) reported12 hours later (at least) and email is still down. That’s ok. We didn’t really need the important information to get our kid moved into college. @Namecheap #PrivateEmail
-
Lauren (@Lorncat) reported@NamecheapCEO Should my team go to the office tomorrow yes or no? Namecheap isn’t giving me an answer. Server is still down. Do we close indefinitely?
-
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.
-
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.
-
The Sentinel (@J3SS3777) reportedThat Namecheap outage? Total gift 🎁 Seriously, it made me realize with all this constant AI watching over my network, I don't even need those clunky old tools like Snort anymore. 💪 Time to upgrade! 🚀 #AIVision #Cybersecurity #FutureIsNow
-
damo (@thedammo) reported@NamecheapCEO @Namecheap Ok that makes sense, I can login in finally and it works in iOS but nothing was being received which is why I asked but I get it
-
Generic human (@genericish) reported@Namecheap Mail still down for me
-
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?
-
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.
