Namecheap took more than 5,000 servers offline on August 13, 2026 after cooling systems failed at RadiusDC's Phoenix datacenter, and brought services back in stages over roughly 28 and a half hours. The shutdown was deliberate, intended to protect hardware from overheating. It reached most of the product line - hosting, EasyWP, Private Email, DNS management, URL redirect management and the support helpdesk - while DNS zone resolution was unaffected.
