DNS issue!!!
Dear customers,
We are experiencing the temporary issue with our DNS at the moment. That's why your Host Records or URL forwarding options may not work. Our developers are working on this issue and will try to make it fixed asap. We do apologize for the inconveniences you may have.
Thank you for understanding.
Regards,
Namecheap

Quoted from mdrussell

At approximately 10.10am EST we started noticing packet loss and latency to all of our DNS servers. These are geo-graphically diverse and located in 3 different states within North America.
Our entire team was alerted to the issue and working closely with our network vendors, we identified a large scale DDoS attack ( up to 113,000 pps ) against our 3 DNS servers.
Obviously this is a very targeted attack by someone hell-bent on taking our DNS services down. This resulted in connectivity issues for all customers who use our DNS system as well as our own website.
At this point in time, the attacks are mostly filter. We expect services to return to normal shortly.


Two of my sites are down and have been down for around 3 hours now

That was posted over an hour ago too.

I wonder whether they were facing extortion and decided not to inform customers.

service is fine here, must just be on some of their servers

yeah I think it is because I have more than two domains with them and it is just two websites that are down, Been reading thier forums and they are still under dos attack, They are trying to find a quick solution to get peoples websites up again

So peeps check you websites
