  Is Namecheap still having an issue?

  Hunter of Cyclops (@AchillesCreed) reported 2 minutes ago

  Hello @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.

  @mwzd @MichaelCyger You'll always find companies that were successful no matter the TLD. Money will be made on these TLDs, but it will be the owners of the TLD, then maybe 0.1% of those who get their hands on the perfect span the dots, and the rest will just be rinsed. Let's just use the Namecheap list, with "Power" as the brand name - or you can just use any other Keyword (I like "Open" to make it fun as well) for that matter. In vast majority of cases it will not form a "span the dot" or "domain hack" brand. Are they all branding their company "Power" and the TLD doesn't matter? If yes, and you're marketing as "Power" only, imagine the marketing $$$ waste Are they all branding as Power+respective TLD? If yes, how much money will it take to change decades of human habit and behaviour to re-educate your customer, so they remember the full domain? And how much free traffic will you generate for Power+TLD․com and the waste of $$$ in the process power․aid power․arc power․asi power․brain power․clone power․craft power․den power․did power․droid power․fab power․flux power․folio power․forge power․foundry power․gate power․grid power․intel power․intelligence power․kit power․lab power․lens power․lift power․logic power․maker power․mart power․matrix power․mesh power․mod power․ops power․path power․scan power․sense power․shift power․ship power․sync power․synth power․sys power․trek power․view power․wave

  @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.

  @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.

  @Namecheap has lost my business. Today was the last straw. I will never buy another domain from you scammy ************* in life. You add “premium domain” tax and gatekeep customers. I even got a capital letter “BANNED” for a domain I searched and then I just bought it through @Cloudflare for $11. After the BANNED thing, I searched another domain and it said “Premium Domain” and was priced at $100,000… I also bought that domain at Cloudflare for $11. That was the last straw. I’ve been a Namecheap customer for over 20 years. I am DONE. I’ll be transferring all of my domains to Cloudflare this week.

  @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.

  @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

  @toyinomotoso Namecheap is actually terrible A good percentage of those who use them always complain of frequent hacks on their websites I voiced out my frustration two years ago after losing more than 10 domains to hacks I can't even account fro Turns out, many persons also experience same issues Namecheap setup process is also too manual, Most times you'll have to change DNS yourself if you get a sub domain You have to install SSL yourself and all Most new hosting platforms do all that for you without you touching anything On hostinger 3 clicks and you have your website ready to use

  Update: 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.

  That Namecheap outage? Total gift 🎁 Seriously, it made me realize with all this constant AI watching over my network, I don't even need those clunky old tools like Snort anymore. 💪 Time to upgrade! 🚀 #AIVision #Cybersecurity #FutureIsNow

  @UK_Daniel_Card See they had disaster recovery and their compliance standards said it had to be at a separate site. So they likely figured well, upstairs on the second floor is *basically* another site, I mean it’s a different location altogether, one has one set of coordinates and the other another. Besides their data centers are SOCII compliant meaning they have *environmental and power redundancy* because they care. Mostly they care about looking like they care though. Auditors came by, but they mostly had beers and didn’t give a ****, see they’re incentivized to not give a **** because a clean audit means they’ll be hired again. they’re totally independent, but the beers were good and their business depends on the one massive client. They of course made note of the DR situation, but namecheap accepted the risk by signing a paper and pinky swearing it would totally be fixed soonish at some point probably. This is my literal experience with compliance audits. They’re a joke. The bit about namecheap only using SOCII compliant data centers is real btw. So what happened? An abundant lack of competence.

  @DecrepitProwl If you switch to namecheap you can get the email service much cheaper and renting a vps for your web hosting yourself would also be much cheaper, would just take a little more work to set up. I haven't checked out the site, but if you are just hosting photography you can get away with a lot less.

  Got the same message from Namecheap and Spaceship that "All our services are now back online following the significant outage caused by a cooling system failure at the RadiusDC: Phoenix data center." Wondering why they don't have backups in place to fix outages?

  WTF, @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.

  This raises serious questions about customer privacy, access controls, and internal security practices. I believe Namecheap should investigate this incident and provide a clear explanation of what happened and why those commands were executed.
