Hosting provider Namecheap experienced an outage today following what the company calls "a failure of cooling systems" at its data center in Phoenix. As a result, many services were down, including its own website. CEO Hillan Klein posted on X that based on current conditions, "we anticipate being able to begin bringing customer services back online at approximately 3:00–3:30pm ET."\n\nThe Phoenix NAP data center reported "elevated white space temperatures" due to damage from heavy storms overnight.

Namecheap's hosting plans, Easy WP, DNS and email clients were all impacted—some unreachable, others experiencing delays. Customer support tools were also affected.\n\nIf you're a Namecheap client still experiencing problems, keep tabs on the company's social accounts for updates.
