    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.

          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.

              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.

                        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.
                              But.... I pulled out...
