Namecheap Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Kevin Guaman (@KCG3D) reportedi genuinely did not get the "hype" for this AI assistant called Instinct. if you have Codex or Claude, you can technically do everything it does. BUT, the problem is you need to download an app to your machine, make sure you got data/wi-fi, ask Computer Use to get it done, etc. Instinct just turned off auto renewal in Namecheap for a website for me. my first WOW moment was that it has it's own Vault, asked me for my password (like 1Password) and just got **** done for me. i don't know if i fully trust it yet, but it got it done over iMessage, accurately, in less than a minute, and sent a screenshot.

Gonzalo Andrés (@gonzalote) reportedNamecheap is down again @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO
-
Pizza Steve (@blackkracken) reportedIs anyone elses namecheap reseller hosting extremely slow? I bet they have the bandwidth turn down...
-
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?

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.

Bassem Aly (@basaly89) reportedAre you down again? @Namecheap
-
Prongl (@prongl_) reported@Namecheap After 10 hours of outage you managed to get your systems online just in time to send me my monthly bill. Not even a credit for the downtime, how generous
-
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.
-
handygas (@handygas) reported@Namecheap loses power in Phoenix due to a storm has to shut down the system to avoid any further damage. Shutting down websites access to all sorts of features it's almost like @Tesla_Megapack doesn't exist in the world. What the heck?
-
Richard Kirkendall (@namecheapceo123) reported@a_shimanski @Namecheap Sorry about that and I agree, we could have postponed this until next week especially after the recent outage.
-
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???
-
Jorwhol (@jorwhol) reportedI use Namecheap to search for domains, but Cloudflare to register them. Poor ol’ Namecheap.
-
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.

Barely There (@YonnyWiden) reported@badrDev_ @Namecheap our website still down, 15 hours later.

Milan Jovanović (@mjovanovictech) reportedIs Namecheap still down?
-
SakuraAAH (@harunosakuraka) reported@Porkbun @spaceship @Namecheap 3/ Secure free privacy Never pay an extra $10/year for "WHOIS Privacy Protection." Good registrars bundle this for free. Turn it on immediately to hide your phone number and email. If you don't, your phone will be flooded with spam within 60 seconds.

J (@Jered1985) reported@Namecheap @dvolsysop My email still not working I need a solution asap , I cannot longer wait
-
Todd A 🤙 Badlander (@rigid_river_MT) reported@LocalSEO_Guy @batesbn I like Namecheap for a registrar. Cloidflare for dns. But I rarely get to choose the hosting unless its a new build. I cover all the domain migration stuff. Godaddy isnt a terrible regisrar, but i dont like waiting so long for a record to propogate. Their builder is 💩 tho.
-
SetraHost (@SetraHost) reported@alexneyret @Namecheap Well said! Datacenter issues are out of a hosting companies control when collocating. While downtime is never fun, these things can happen unfortunately & from what I’ve seen, NameCheap communicated throughout it all & even sent staff onsite to expedite the recovery process.
-
MageGate Games | MageGate.com (@mage_gate) reportedOur email service has been restored after yesterday's @Namecheap outage. We're not sure whether all emails sent during the outage were successfully delivered. If you emailed us on August 13 and haven't heard back by the end of August 14, please resend your email. Thanks!
-
Fuzzicus® Innocuous 🟦🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷💙💛 (@MissFuzzball) reported@Namecheap My email was down for about 12 hours. When it came back up, no emails that would have been received during that time were there. Are they lost in the ether forever?
-
Amanda Nevill (@NevillAmanda) reported@Gun4aaaz @Namecheap I have been told the new private email doesn’t YET work for tablets and other..I have the same problem working from an iPad Pro. Can’t get any answer as to when it will be fixed or even IF IT WILL BE FIXED
