Namecheap.com under DDoS attack

    Hello,

    I was having trouble accessing many of my websites, did a small 'investigation' and found out namecheap was having problems. The majority of my domains are at namecheap and 202/231 domains are unreachable!

    OUCH!

    Greets,
    Devi Ataz.

    It appears the problem is now resolved...judging from my ability to access all of the names/sites
    I have there...still it is a bit alarming.

    Unfortunately DDoS attacks are a fact of life, even if no one wants them. All
    service providers using DNS are susceptible to such, but most if not all are all
    aware of the need to address them ASAP.

    Meanwhile if you can't afford your sites down and wait for NameCheap, then
    you better switch those nameservers to another set like maybe afraid.org or
    dnsmadeeasy.com.
