Laker (@Laker9890) reportedI always assumed that large systems like Namecheap had redundancy on other data centers and certainly had backup cooling systems. It seems I was wrong. What doesn’t make sense to me is why, if all the servers have been shut down for almost 12 hours, is the room so difficult to cool down. Something else is up.

ْ (@keysome) reportedI’ve got multiple sites down. #namecheap c/ @spaceship outrage has hit my biz!

Victorydm | Ads Expert (@victorydchair) reported@Akpanthankgod_ Namecheap has been trash for a long time I've used them for years If it isn't outage, it'll be hacks on your websites
-
Barely There (@YonnyWiden) reported@badrDev_ @Namecheap our website still down, 15 hours later.

Idowu Olayiwola (@idowuolayiwola) reported@TheRealTbch @NamecheapCEO I can't believe my eyes right now. I moved to namecheap in 2015 when the hosting company I'd been working with for 11 years shut down without notifying us. I hope this is not a dejavu

Richard Ricketts (@ultrabyrich) reportedphoenixNAP identified a cooling issue causing an unplanned outage at its Phoenix data center, the company said on social media. Customers may see services and servers go offline intermittently until the facility operator resolves the issue. phoenixNAP said it's coordinating closely with the operator and will post updates on its status page. A second Phoenix data center outage on the same day proves the disruption pattern extends beyond one provider's isolated infrastructure failure into a possible facility-level or regional problem. Your business needs to understand that phoenixNAP's cooling failure follows a separate power outage reported earlier by Namecheap, also tied to a Phoenix data center. Two infrastructure providers experiencing disruptions in the same city on the same day raises the question of whether these are coincidental, unrelated equipment failures at separate facilities, or whether both trace back to a shared regional factor, such as extreme heat straining cooling systems and power grids simultaneously across multiple data centers. The specific failure mode matters here. Cooling issues in data centers often stem from external temperature conditions overwhelming systems designed around normal operating thresholds, particularly during periods of extreme heat. If Phoenix is experiencing conditions pushing multiple facilities toward simultaneous cooling and power failures, that reveals a regional infrastructure vulnerability extending beyond any single company's specific equipment or maintenance practices. -) Cooling issue causing unplanned outage -) Services intermittently going offline for customers -) Facility operator working to resolve -) Updates via status page and social media -) Follows separate Phoenix outage at Namecheap same day Recognize when multiple infrastructure providers in the same geographic location experience disruptions within a short timeframe, since that pattern warrants investigating shared environmental or grid-level causes rather than treating each incident as an isolated company-specific failure. Question whether data centers concentrated in regions with extreme heat conditions carry systemic risk that individual providers' redundancy planning doesn't fully address when the stress applies across an entire local grid or climate zone simultaneously. Does phoenixNAP's cooling failure represent an isolated equipment issue unrelated to Namecheap's same-day Phoenix outage, or does two separate providers experiencing infrastructure disruptions in the same city on the same day reveal a regional vulnerability, such as extreme heat or grid strain, that individual data center redundancy plans aren't accounting for?

Vincent LoGreco (@CaptainV45) reportedCan anyone recommend a reliable web host to move my websites to? My host @namecheap went down today due to cooling issues at its one and only datacenter. (What hosting provider doesn’t have redundancy?) So I’m in the market for a new place to park my art/webcomic site.

Sean Ashton (@AshtonSean) reportedNamecheap email hosting still down :(

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

Magna POS sincerely apologize to all our clients who depend on us for running their businesses. We understand this frustration as we felt same way today.

Julián Quiñones Ruiz (@jequinones92) reported@Namecheap @notfound2k23 12 hours without service, this is unnacceptable...
-
Levi J. Anderson (@TheWranglerPNW) reportedOver 12 hours of every website on @Namecheap reseller being inaccessible. Thousands of dollars lost, ad campaigns directing traffic to broken links, goodwill lost between providers & customers - never have I seen a ****** this bad in the web hosting space.
-
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

X Space (@spacesX247) reportedI almost bought services from them 3 days ago. Namecheap says We're currently experiencing service disruptions due to a power outage affecting our datacenter in Phoenix. We're sorry for the disruption this is causing. Our team is working to restore services as soon as possible. We'll keep you updated.
-
Alex | The Geeknd (@WebDevLex) reported@UK_Daniel_Card @Namecheap Ofc it’s unpredictable but definitely should be planned for. A single datacenter took down everything? First of all.. how? And what if that DC blew up instead of just malfunctioning chillers.. those excuses don’t really fly anymore
-
Gary Jones (@garyjones_trans) reported@Namecheap Well, still down and it's been a whole day...every minute of every hour you are losing your customers 1 by 1...I'm the one leaving at 845pm...godaddy here I come
-
Ben Grant Mitchell (@Ben_G_Mitchell) reportedIt seems a coincidence that the day after @Namecheap launch new private email system the servers go down and there is a mass outage? The 'cooling failure' story sounds vague at best, and apparently there are multiple explanations being offered as to what happened. #namecheap
-
James Baca (AGGREGATOR/The Notorious Banker) (@notoriousbanker) reportedThis outage has put my business at a standstill today. If you sent a email to my email addresses I give to my subscribers today, I didn’t get it. Namecheap claims things are up and running but I have had 1 email received all day. Beyond Angry at the lack of communication.
-
rapunzelita (@rapunzelqueso) reported@Namecheap Our website has been down all day due to this issue. This is seriously affecting our ability to properly assist our customers and process orders. We need this issue resolved as soon as possible. Please provide an update and a solution. This has been going on for hours.

Uyi Eghas (@UyiEghas) reported@Namecheap Finally my sites are back up. An over 12hrs outage is crazy
