Namecheap Nameserver (DNS) down
Zur Zeit läuft offensichtlich eine DDoS Attacke gegen – den neben GoDaddy – größen Domainregsitrar Namecheap.
At approximately 10.10am EST we started noticing packet loss and latency to all of our DNS servers. These are geo-graphically diverse and located in 3 different states within North America.
Our entire team was alerted to the issue and working closely with our network vendors, we identified a large scale DDoS attack ( up to 113,000 pps ) against our 3 DNS servers.
Obviously this is a very targeted attack by someone hell-bent on taking our DNS services down. This resulted in connectivity issues for all customers who use our DNS system as well as our own website.
At this point in time, the attacks are mostly filter. We expect services to return to normal shortly.
Webmaster die möchten, dass ihre Domains wieder erreichbar sind sind sollten folgenden Workaround – wie im Namecheap Loging hinterlegt – umsetzen.
Zuallererst sollte man seine Hostinfos sichern. Dann klickt man im Domainmanager die Domain seiner Wahl an und geht auf “Transfer DNS to Webhost“. Hier übergibt man die 3 temporären Nameserver
Name Server: DNS1.NAME-SERVICES.COM
Name Server: DNS2.NAME-SERVICES.COM
Name Server: DNS3.NAME-SERVICES.COM
Anschließend müssen lediglich die zuvor gesicherten Hostinfos wieder eingetragen werden.
Nach knapp 2 Minuten waren meine Domains zumindest wieder erreichbar!






Man this sucks! One of my blog is down too because of the DNS servers
Does the workaround with the new Nameservers not working, Tamal? For me it’s working fine!
