Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Hunter of Cyclops (@AchillesCreed) reportedHello @Namecheap, I’m unable to send or receive emails at the moment, and I’m not sure what the issue is. Please could you help me resolve this? Thank you.
-
Saul Flores Jr. (@SaulFloresJr) reportedJust bought a couple more domains while I’m still negotiating the sale of an older one. Time to build something new. This one is more physics related. No idea what it becomes yet. I’ve just been going down a rabbit hole of light, electromagnetics, hardware, space, and a bunch of things I barely understood a few weeks ago. Only one way to find out where it goes. Keep building. Thanks @Namecheap
-
Vibez Man (@manoftheyearv) reported@Namecheap what is happening??? Server down again?
-
amar (@liftplaycode) reported@viveksb007 Namecheap If by conversion you mean tricking the customer to pay more then it probably works
-
Sir William Codey Best (@bbest12g) reported@dhh don't use namecheap they'll try and get a piece of that **** off money or w.e with a price hike after a few years.
-
Jb (@jbzale) reported@fytagee @Porkbun porkbun is better in the way that they nuke the entire account when a phishing domain is detected sinec bad actors normally register multiple domains in the same account compared to namecheap who only takes down that domain.
-
Emon Datta (@emonuxui) reported@buildAgoat @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO Hopefully support can trace the new outbound path and IP reputation.
-
Haters gonna Hate (@painkiller) reported@Namecheap what now ???? cant open the Private Email client , cant send emails ...... wtf
-
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
-
Tapas Adhikary | tapaScript (@tapasadhikary) reported@MossAIStudio @Namecheap This is a huge issue.
-
VictualBro (@Victual_Bro) reportedAppears that @ProtonMail is down for the same exact reason that Namecheap was down last week. Curious. Cyber attack? "Identified - We have identified a critical cooling failure in our Frankfurt datacenter. We are currently in the process of shifting traffic to our backups sites."
-
Bhavya | PM | Design Engineer | Framer Partner (@bhavyapandya07) reportedUpdate: EasyWP and some services were fully back online around 1:20 PM IST on Aug 14 roughly 19 hours after I posted this. The whole Namecheap outage was fully resolved on around 15 AUG 5AM IST.

1000x (@djomla1000x) reported@Namecheap served down again!!! What is going on people!!!
-
Alessandro Bogliari (@alexeidos) reported@Namecheap someone is impersonating our company using a domain that is very similar to ours. They are scamming influencers while using our company name. I reported this to your abuse team 7 days ago. no response. Can someone get back to us ASAP and take this domain down?
-
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!
-
Hamid Mousavi (@hamid2108) reported@richardnavanda @Namecheap Yeah, seriously. They’ve put us through hell since yesterday. 😑 Our VPS went down, came back with issues, and even now one of our production websites is still offline. It’s been a complete nightmare.
-
Scott Smith (@4tears_RSS) reported@Victual_Bro @Namecheap No ****. I cannot send woprk e-mails!!! Again. This is BS.
-
Julian Schubert (@julian_durian) reported@Gaus450 Before I bought mine at Namecheap, I moved everything to Cloudflare after their huge outage.
-
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.
-
Jorwhol (@jorwhol) reportedI use Namecheap to search for domains, but Cloudflare to register them. Poor ol’ Namecheap.
-
Alexis Lanetti (@Lanetti) reported@andyyen Same issue as namecheap?
-
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.

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?
-
Top Shelf Names (@TopShelfNames) reportedSpaceship seems to have rewritten everything from the ground up except for the domain search function which is arguably the most important feature, and the worst part about Namecheap. I may be alone here, but I find Beast Mode insufferable.
-
Brian Osoro (@OsoroOngera) reportedNamecheap, Spaceship were down. What's happening.
-
Nishu (@KisekiyaCodes) reported@Stringcodes Namecheap seems to support more extensions
-
Celso Maiolo (@MaioloCelso) reported@Namecheap I have been down over one week now? I’m running out of patience and excuses. I’m afraid that I’m going to have to move hosting providers as this upgrade or meltdown has singularly destroyed your reputation and business. How does it take over a week to restore?

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.
