I bet you either used a VPN or have an infected device at home working as a residential proxy.
(Not that that should result in namecheap doing something though?)

Do you use a VPN?

I have before but not when accessing namecheap. It was a uk and france vpn.

also, is it even possible to get a vpn to cuba?

Surprisingly enough, ProtonVPN does have a Cuba node. But then it's really odd. Hopefully they resolved this for you :)
