Dear Customers,

We are planning to transfer all accounts hosted on Shared servers 69 and 72  to our brand new state-of-the-art server – Shared server 86. The new server will provide the power and reliability we strive to deliver for years to come.

The transfer is going to be performed this Saturday on April 16th, at 01:00 AM EDT | 05:00 UTC. We aim to keep downtime to a minimum and will be performing the transfer outside of business hours to minimize disruption.

We would like to ask you to check the name servers of your domain names and make sure they are set to dns1/dns2.namecheaphosting.com:

– If hosted domains are pointed to this set of nameservers, we will automatically update their DNS zones. No actions are required from you in this case.

– If hosted domains are pointed to the old hosting nameservers which differ from our cluster ones, please re-point your domains to the following nameservers as soon as possible:

dns1.namecheaphosting.com and dns2.namecheaphosting.com

All customers, whose accounts will be transferred, will receive notifications with IP of the new server. If your domains are pointed to the hosting server with the help of an A record, please use the IP provided in the notification to update domains’ DNS zone. When the transfer starts, we will be constantly updating you via this blog post, which is why we highly advise you to bookmark this page.

We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding.

Kind Regards,

Namecheap Support Team
