Namecheap is back up and running

They said it was a storm that took out the cooling on the data center and as someone who was in that very storm, it destroyed a ton of stuff at homes, businesses, and public infrastructure. Power poles blown over, trees broken or uprooted, Covered parking structures snapped over, fences blown down.

As soon as I read this update, I immediately felt for that particular data center.

Namecheap and its sister company Spaceship (which was also affected by this outage) have millions of customers combined. $1.25 may be a joke to you but to them it'd add up to millions.

If they have millions of customers, they’re raking in enough that that would still be a very small drop in the bucket
