Apparently Namecheap has been down for some time now, as their hosting provider in Phoenix is having cooling issues: https://status.phoenixnap.com/

Edit: https://www.namecheap.com/status-updates/ is indeed on their status page, previous post said it had nothing.

The status page isn't sorted well. The message is at https://www.namecheap.com/status-updates/namecheap-com-and-h...

Thanks, that was really easy to miss, you'd think they'd put that on top.

They host everything at just one datacenter?

Here's a post that the CEO just made: https://xcancel.com/NamecheapCEO/status/2087931259389464611#...

Wow, only one physical location, no failover for a company with that footprint? I guess I'll look into migrating our DNS then.

Yeah I've had all my personal project domains at Namecheap for a very long time but have been meaning to move over to CloudFlare. Guess I should get on that...
