So if you're reading this, go somewhere else where the service is better. Namecheap.com is doing what they do best... they're cheap and non caring!

Those are pass-through queries; NameCheap doesn't host the information itself. Basically, their UI had a couple of nasty screwups.

The "server error messages" should not have happened, however the "broke right and left websites" is definitly a DNS propagation issue with a TTL of 3600 and standard. I would agree with Daniel.

I have had nothing but excellent experiences dealing with GoDaddy for everything. Their UI is a little clunky, but everything just works. I highly recommend GoDaddy.

Those DNS servers have caches with very long expiration times... Is it possible that the one-hour delay has to do with DNS caching rather than the speed at which they can process transactions?
