.YES
But up now.
Glad its not just me. I hope they fix it soon.
Yeah i really would like to use them more, seems awesome on paper, but i tried it a couple of times and they keep having issues here and there, only have one domain using it now (not running anything important for now) and yes it was glitching a bit, seems good now
I don't see why they didn't move them behind DDoS protected services after the last outage?
More than likely its a complicated attack, or related to total capacity. Given that alot of DDoS attacks involve DNS packets, mitigation for DNS services can be a bit tricky.
Everything seems to have calmed down now, failures reduced to only a handful every minute as of 20 minutes ago, and have stopped entirely now.
@SplitIce, This is one of my few gripes with Namecheap ... (that and the fact that their Whois Privacy is not free after the first year).
I had to move to other solutions for DNS on quite a few domains because of previous DDoS attacks in February 2014.
A shame, because their DNS features are great for a free service (especially their URL forwarding -- it is better than NameSilo's IMHO).
BTW, supposedly their DNS v1 (less features) seems to be less prone to the attacks.
