-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It didn't work for me two minutes ago. Same CloudFlare error. Now it works. I live in Czech Republic. To the notification: It is weird. It looks like the change came from their private network (judging by the fact that it states "IP Address : 192.168.1.10") On 20.2.2015 18:18, Chuck Anderson via Outages wrote:

Well, it is back up now. They claim Emergency Maintenance: http://status.namecheap.com/archives/18453 Still pending from them on whether the below notification is fake or not. The DNS zone itself appears to be correct. On Fri, Feb 20, 2015 at 12:18:14PM -0500, Chuck Anderson via Outages wrote:
