Anyone else had issues with the new ICANN rules?
Just found out that NameCheap have suspend one of my domain because of a change of whois data. Whois data that was changed because I cancelled their whois privacy.
Now I have to wait 24 - 48 hours for it to come back online - http://screencast.com/t/7QL6ShnCh
Insane! I'm spitting feathers.
Now the site is offline
Apparently my account at NameCheap isn't displaying the correct information and thinks it's using their name servers when it is not and it's my hosting provider, as confirmed by their chat repersentative
Can this get any worse!!!
Sounds like a namecheap glitch then?
Looks like it part my fault too.
my emails are setup so I have an account for each address at outlook.com
Because of this the junk emails weren't being forwarding, hence why I didn't get the notification.
But now that I have confirm the email address it looks like the DNS have been screwed because of the cock up at NameCheap with regards to my account not displaying the settings properly.
I'm sat here waiting patently for the DNS servers to re populate.
Propagation happens pretty quickly these days, for new visitors at least.
You probably need to flushdns on your os and browser to see if it's working yet.
Dunno about now but I came to the conclusion that NameCheap is shite a couple years ago. We had several domain names with them, hosted on 3 different servers, and none of them could resolve properly. They kept telling me it was the host's problem - hello? 3 completely different hosts at once? In the end, I said just cancel my account and refund me the domain names, I won't manage anything via you - and there was a long long story with the cancellation too as one might assume. Haven't used them since and I always advise people against them.
Tamar Weinberg worked for them for some time in some PR function (don't remember her title exactly now), I replied to one of her tweets referring to this story (which happened before she joined them), she asked me to forward her the details so she could look into it, turns out she couldn't even find any records in their system... Maybe it's how it's supposed to be with them for cancelled accounts, but still they do give an impression of a pretty fucked up company.
I've used them for years and never had a problem. (knock wood)
Damn! I just switched to Namecheap after getting tired of Moniker's issues.
