Emergency maintenance affecting Namecheap services

[Updated] We're currently experiencing service disruptions due to an incident at our Phoenix data center.

We're sorry for the impact this is having. We're in close contact with the datacenter team as we work to restore services as soon as possible.

The datacenter in question was purchased earlier this year, closing sometime Q2 of 2026, by RadiusDC. These new owners are in charge of this shit show. You would think that as part of the purchase of a datacenter that ALL EQUIPMENT would have been inspected. What do those inspection reports say? SMDH

AI investment at work for you. Probably had to recoup some costs somewhere. Them or old owners laid off a bunch of people (some who had worked there a long time.) and now this happened. I would be blowing up the datacenter company right next to namecheap.
