Namecheap hosting down?
 

One of my site that is hosted at namecheap is offline.
Are you experiencing the same?

Had the same issue. I suspect they updated the kernel on their machines and the vps don't autobooot. I logged in and booted the thing. Lost traffic today from it. Happens.

That sucks, i hope they fixed it quick.

you can probably set it to autoboot some how

TIP: Never use a hosting service at a domain registrar. Go with a company that doesn't deal with domains but focuses on delivering excellent hosting only.

it's carrier neutral bandwidth yet cheap

How do you like NameCheap hosting? I am considering opening a small account with a new host for a mainstream project and NameCheap is in my final 3.

I use it to host swf files behind cloudflare so there is some redundancy if they start going down a lot all of a sudden. Their uptime has been quite good. I would not use it as a primary host on its own though. Not for anything dynamic. I wouldn't trust namecheap to have an experienced reaction should a complex environment suddenly go awry.

Thanks for the tip I appreciate it. I just went with Site5 to try it out.

They'll just tell you to use URL forwarding :1orglaugh

Yes the namecheap merchant account transactions always showing Compton back in the day got my attention :1orglaugh

Correct. Moreover, Namecheap hosting doesn't allow adult.

Their dedicated servers apparently do according to the support

Yeah it's just their shared accounts that don't I think.

One of my (mainstream) clients use namecheap hosting. Their site is up.

It's back up.
