NameCheap's nameservers experiencing some downtime

    Just a few minutes ago, I have logged in into my NC account and noticed a message, saying that their namservers are currently experiencing some problems and will be down for a short period of time.

    And I can only confirm that, because 3 of the sites I own and have a domain pointing at them from NC, can't be reached via their addresses. Anyone else having the same problems?

    NC does seem to have problems from time to time, that's why I only register with them then change my nameservers immediately.

    Yes, I know they had problems before. But usually, it doesn't take long for them to fix'em :). Hope that's what they'll do now, too.

    Hmm..that's an interesting piece of information. And might as well be one of the explanations to their problems. That's if they do, indeed, use ENom's platform..

    Namecheap became an ICANN registrar about a year ago but are still operating as an Enom reseller until they have their own backend systems set up & working.

    Seems like they are now back again! So, I guess they've solved the namservers problem:D.
