Maxitrol 🏝️✈️🥥 (@maxitrol_404) reported@NamecheapCEO Keep prices low! I switched to Namecheap from Hostgator because you are 3x cheaper at least. Also your support is great, don't replace it with AI
-
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.

Nishu (@KisekiyaCodes) reported@Stringcodes Namecheap seems to support more extensions
-
Darth (@Darth88888) reported“We will work extremely hard” here means 1 month extension on the hosting… pure joke of a company! We lost hundreds of thousands in sales and revenue and they are giving 1 month of free service?! #namecheap #hosting #server
-
B Diesel (@BDiesel6) reported@Namecheap So if a specific email address receives some emails from the outage does that mean they have received all of them? OR For a single email address are some emails delivered and some still possibly coming? —— If the latter, what time on a clock is the “nearest time”.
-
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
-
Jak (@jakcater) reported@NamecheapCEO @NamecheapCEO @Namecheap Please tell me when emails received during outage will come through.
-
PageWatcher (@osint42) reported🔴 Namecheap is DOWN. Was it hacked? No verified evidence of a cyberattack. Namecheap says the outage is linked to infrastructure issues at its Phoenix data center. 🔴 What happened 🔴 What’s affected 🔴 Why it matters We’re tracking the incident as it develops. #Namecheap #NamecheapDown
-
Old Charter (@OldCharterExp) reported@Dynadot @ZPEdisclosure Is it possible for my wife to move he domain from Namecheap while it's down? I see a LOT of people freaking out that had crypto wallets tied to emails and websites they were hosting, what a total 💩show!
-
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.
-
Sean Ashton (@AshtonSean) reportedNamecheap email hosting still down :(
-
Sureñita (@montanitadelsur) reported@Namecheap Private mail still not working!!!
-
Brent (@Brent086196240) reported@NamecheapCEO Namecheap has horrendous support. My domain portfolio worth hundreds of thousands of dollars was hacked. Someone got into my name cheap account and name cheap provided NO support to me. Extremely stressful situation.
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
Allan K. Koech, HSC (@allankoechke) reportedDang! Some of my domains never recovered from the @Namecheap downtime.
-
ayub (@ayubhkd) reportedApple passwords shows this morning that my account on @Namecheap seems to be leaked ? Is this related to nalecheap being down yesterday ?
-
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.
-
Andy Rowe @399 (@andyrowe) reported@shadilayvision @Namecheap Just speculating about the 8 hour outage with conflicting rumors. Had me wondering about ransomware but it actually was a cooling issue with their Phoenix data center.
-
Subrato Paul (@goldenTwine) reported@Namecheap You should change your name, it's mis-leading. Your renewal fees are shooting up. I want to get both my domain names transferred to another registrar. i hope you won't create problem with Auth code.
-
Farmercologist (@farfesadee) reportedSo apparently, Contabo newly introduced a free firewall feature which was enabled on the account and as a result, every incoming traffic was being dropped. More so, the issue Namecheap had last Thursday affected our domain as well, the DNS record completely stopped communicating with the server’s public IP. All issues fixed💯💯💯. Now I can rest😒😒😒 This is one of the things you get for working as a Bsckend Engineer.
-
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.

AI Genesis (@AIGenesis_) reported- Claude = coding. ($20/mo) - Supabase = backend. (Free) - Vercel = deploying. (Free) - Namecheap = domain. ($12/yr) - Stripe = payments.

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?
-
Hamid Mousavi (@hamid2108) reportedOur VPS has been down and intermittently inaccessible since yesterday, with no prior notice, no email, no clear explanation, and not even an apology. This is not the level of reliability or communication we expect from a VPS provider. @Namecheap @NamecheapCEO
-
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
