NameCheap DNS servers are down

Ping is not a good way to check that, since it could be blocked. Try

    dig @dns1.registrar-servers.com [some-domain]

Here it's slow but working.

Google keeps ping alive on their 8.8.8.8 nameserver, but that's probably just being polite. Most providers would rather block off ICMP than have to deal with the risk of getting flooded now and then.
