Is anyone else noticing that namecheap seems to be down. Wonder what happened? :( Hope the domain i just thought of is still available when it comes back up. Missed one yesterday by two hours. Ever had one grabbed while was still thinking about it or put it off? I hate that feeling!

I can't access either! :bawling:

Please try the following:

Open the www.namecheap.com home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
Click the Refresh button, or try again later.

HTTP Error 500-13 - Server too busy
Internet Information Services

I can't access it either. They are running MS IIS <- That should explain a couple things.. Must be time to reboot NT Again

Per this link: http://www.enom.com/news.asp

» Registry outage -
The .com .net and .org registry will be down for an extended period of time on Sat, Apr 27th from 9:00pm PST. The outage might last 12 hours or more

Yeh just found out the same thing

"Verisign Registry is down for maintenance"

I seem to remember reading about this somewhere....

Oh joy. All the live WHOIS are down.

Tonight all hell will break loose :D

This is a Verisign imposed outage. It is expected to last 4 hours or so. All CNO registrars are effected.

-t

Stargate mentions 12 hours!

It is 12 hours. Both stargate.com and enom say 12 hours.

Namecheap is up. Was tempted to go through ENOM but they still haven't refunded my $20 from the preregistration I didn't get. The .com/.net/.org registry isn't up though, but i'm grabbin US names so it don't matter. I got the three that I wanted all day. Whew!

LOL yeah, this downtime will definitely increase the .US registrations.

This is going to be hell, domains are saying they arent registered when they are and everything else. I just registered a domain name, and its still saying not registered, so I hope someone else doesnt register it, and beat me to the dns. Cause ill be out 10 bucks. :(

Does this affect nameserver updates (of already registered domains) too? I've transferred to a new host and I still can't see my domain. 72 hours are already up days ago.

It is about 9:18 AM here in Michigan, and I still can't get to namecheap!

It is about 10:52 AM here in Michigan, and I still can't get to namecheap!
