-
Dodin Dodan Jr. (@pardiezzi) reported@Namecheap I am having issues with renewing my domains. Checkout says my cc is not valid, but i cannot find any problems as it is my default and previously used card.
-
Ali Sherief (@Zenul_Abidin) reportedNo seriously man, how does one colling failure take down the entire Namecheap infra?
-
Brian Osoro (@OsoroOngera) reportedNamecheap, Spaceship were down. What's happening.
-
Debra Isaacs Schafer (@DebraISchafer) reported@Namecheap Okay...immensely dislike your "new platform." Where are my previous folders? I had many of them - where are they!? How do you reduce the size of the e-mails horizontally to be able to quickly delete, forward, or respond? And your "help center" - where is live chat?

Joseph Miclaus (@josephmiclaus) reportedCan anyone beat my ~€10/mo hosting (~€120/year)? → 10 domains included btw. At €12.89 (Namecheap retail price) per .com/year I would already exceed the hosting plan (€128.9/year) just for domain costs. For Laravel I have PHP/Composer, DB, cron, limited SSH and custom domains. What I'm missing is native Go support. It only supports CGI. No process manager. No reverse proxy. Do you know a good/better hosting setup for Laravel, Go or both at roughly this price?

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.

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.

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.
-
𝕘 𝕥 𝕨 𝕪 (@Gtwy) reported@doctorbeau @NamecheapCEO i am not trying to be combative, but you have 30k a day of liability risked against a single platform??? that isn't namecheap's fault. today's disaster aside, you should have been planning for when something like this happened. for the record i have hundreds of domains with namecheap and not a single one went down today... cause i don't have any single points of failure
-
JAVB Perú (@JavbPeru) reported@shonvibes @Namecheap Yes, okay, in our case, we can no longer just select UNREAD, we have to search for the email. I suppose they'll fix it.

Joshua (@Joshua_z0310) reportedHow to start your solo business with AI tools ChatGPT / Claude = ideation, writing, research. Cursor / Windsurf = coding and debugging. Supabase = backend and database. Vercel = hosting and deployment. Namecheap = domain. Stripe = payments and subscriptions. GitHub = code hosting and version control. Resend = transactional emails. Tally / Typeform = forms and lead collection. PostHog = product analytics. Sentry = error monitoring. Cloudflare = CDN and DNS. Upstash = Redis and rate limiting. Pinecone = vector database. Loom = screen recording and async updates. Notion = docs, wikis, and SOPs. Slack = communication. Canva = design and branding. Billbooks / Wave = simple accounting. The idea is simple: one person can now use AI plus low-cost SaaS tools to cover product, development, deployment, payments, marketing, analytics, operations, and support—without building a large team from day one. #AItool #AI #productivity

Julius Bett (@julius24848) reported@Namecheap You have failed, with no redundancy, no clear ETA, and limited support, is unacceptable. Businesses are losing customers and revenue. We need transparency and a concrete restoration timeline now. #NamecheapDown
-
Artyom Shimanski (@a_shimanski) reported@appdevbyamitesh @Namecheap their Phoenix datacenter lost cooling, so they shut servers down to protect the hardware. domains, hosting and email all went with it. business email was down most of the day
-
Fedupandnottakingitanymore (@Fedupandnottak1) reported@SirCensorLot Well this explains the massive outage at NameCheap yesterday. Super reliable company DDOS attacks and then them cooling systems taken down in Phoenix.
-
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) reported@NamecheapCEO 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?
-
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.
-
Boiler Bay Beacon (@boilerbaybeacon) reported@NamecheapCEO @Namecheap All I ask is that you provide the best possible service from here on out. Trim away the fat and the bullshit. Collocate priority one.
-
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.
-
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.
-
mgear (@unitycoder_com) reported@HostGator suddenly charged ~103% more for my website hosting, have used HG for 15 years, with about same price all the time.. now doing transfer to @Namecheap to try them instead! *with free migration service!
-
Lauren (@Lorncat) reported@JulianPhoenix2 @NamecheapCEO He can’t do that. It’s too big of a loss and they would go bankrupt (ideal though — this company is a hazard to businesses, especially essential service ones). One solution is Namecheap credit which matches our reported losses, plus a split of his salary between us all.
-
Chris Silver Smith (@si1very) reportedNamecheap is having an outage currently, which appears to be affecting my company email.
-
Vance Lucas (@vlucas) reported@dh405 @Namecheap Yeah. Long outage.
-
Michael Knight (@michaelmknight) reported@NamecheapCEO @Namecheap 33 Hours down, and still NO Email, NO VPS. THIS IS NOW BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE!
-
Artie (@king_artie) reportednamecheap down last week friday github down today
-
Haters gonna Hate (@painkiller) reported@Namecheap what now ???? cant open the Private Email client , cant send emails ...... wtf
-
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?

thedreammaker.eth💹🧲 (@crichcrypto) reported@NamecheapCEO @Namecheap Seems my website is down again!
