@sr_rolando DNS war gar nicht betroffen, wenn ich deren Infos richtig verstehe. War Hosting, Webmail etc.
#Namecheap ist gut für Domains/DNS, benutze ich seit Jahren.

Wer glaubt, es müsse immer alles super redundant ausgelegt sein, irrt.
#Namecheap war wohl offline. Deswegen:
»A major storm knocked out cooling systems at the data center, causing temperatures to rise to unsafe levels.«
(Habe DNS für eine einzige Domain dort. Ohne die Info-Mail hätte ich jetzt nichts gemerkt.)

@990000 I used NameCheap for domain registration for years. As they promise, they are cheap! They are also reliable for domain management.
Though I've since moved away as part of my efforts to divest from all US-based tech services.
But I never understood why someone would use them for *web hosting*.
They were never going to be as good or as cheap as the competition. Plus, it's just a bad idea to register your domain through the same folks who look after your web hosting.

...The incident began when cooling systems failed at the Phoenix data center due to a major storm, causing temperatures around our infrastructure to reach critical levels.
RadiusDC: Phoenix is a Tier 3 datacenter, designed with a high level of redundancy. That made this an extremely unusual incident, and one we had not experienced before in our 25-year history...
Everything's back up. It's interesting to read what happened.

At least 24 million domains and millions of websites went down for almost a day because of #NameCheap failure... This took emails servers, also. DNS, which directs websites names to servers, even the ones not hosted at NameCheap, was gone for millions of domains, etc. Some for almost a day.
Interesting this happened just as electrical power grid operators are setting rules to force #datacenters to get off the grid during extreme electrical demand, heatwaves, etc. to prevent grid collapse. #Tech #infosec
Here's a good article that takes NameCheap's version as true... Who knows what really happens, considering they were doing some planned maintenance, the incident report that was posted just before they shut their datacenter down that claimed they were under a DDOS attack mysteriously disappeared, etc.

Were any of my sites down?

Was having an issue with #Opengraph previews on #Faircamp even though opengraph.dev and opengraph.xyz both reported it as okay. Turns out the cert #Namecheap provided was giving a "trust anchor for certification path not found" error and switching to Let's Encrypt fixed it. Thanks to the #Signal debug log for identifying it.
-
I can finally access my namecheap webmail, but my mail client is not yet syncing, and neither shows email I know was sent in the middle of the day.
What are the chances the mail will eventually make it home?

ℹ️ Update: Connectivity is gradually returning to web host and domain registrar #Namecheap after a multi-hour platform-wide outage. Status updates point to ongoing overheating issues amid a power outage at the phoenixNAP data center that has impacted multiple hosting providers.
-
Interesting, yet annoying, that the data center fiasco in Phoenix would affect us in Wisconsin. Our email has been down all day because of it.
-
No email today because namecheap's servers are in phoenix with all 4 chillers offline
"The impact is broad, currently affecting more than 5,000 servers and impacting Namecheap.com, Shared/VPS/Dedicated Hosting, EasyWP, DNS, Private Email and hosting email, email forwarding, URL redirects, and some hosting operations. Websites and services may be unavailable, slow, or return errors until the infrastructure can safely be brought back online."

⚠️ Confirmed: Metrics show that popular web host and domain registrar #Namecheap is largely down, sending many websites and services offline. The company says it has been struck by both a DDoS attack and a power outage.

When the power outage that hits your datacentre spreads to your status page :poopSweatdrop:
-
Apparently all Namecheap services are down, which means my website and email are also down. Awesome.

FYI, nefarious ppl are sending out NameCheap domain expiration emails to an email address I use exclusively for the Fediverse Observer registration and editing of my instance on that site.... They look legit except for the links where they ultimately go to. Be careful #NameCheap #domains #infosec
How they got that email address is beyond me

finally getting off my lazy ass and transferring my domains out of Namecheap :corgi_roll: fuck you private equity
-
Paying for some domains on Namecheap. Got a new credit card and… there's a weird box along with the credit card input.
It appears to be link.com, which SEEMS to be a legitimate service for storing credit card details… EXCEPT it's not clear why it's on the Namecheap page when they have their own "save my card" system.
Yet again, we've got systems that SHOULD be risk averse and secure, but instead they're doing things that train people to just accept weird behaviour from third parties during sensitive transactions 🙄

Now if only #Namecheap could get their heads out of their asses and make the native DDNS also work for #AAAA records

Okay, this is probably the dumbest question ever, BUT..can I transfer my domain to another registrar when there is a live site on it?
Because..I'm NOT paying that. Just..NO.

Looking like Mr Kirkendall holds Russia to far far higher standards than he holds the state of Israel.
Richard Kirkendall in 2022 on banning Russian accounts from namecheap:
"Freedom of expression is one thing, but this decision is more about a government that commits war crimes against innocent people with whom we want nothing to do.”

Looks like an attempted cover-up of the genocide in Gaza.
Covering up and normalizing the Gaza genocide - far too much of that happening.

* Please boost *
Question for my friends in the #eu that work in #tech: which domain registrar and #webhosting / #vps providers would you recommend? I'm wanting to migrate my projects and clients away from #bigtech in the US. I'm currently using #namecheap for domains and #digitalocean for hosting.
Thank you for any input you may have!

What the heck #namecheap ? My .site domain jumps sub 5 USD/year to about 44 USD/year. You're losing a customer over this if this is true.
