ANY nightmare stories with Namecheap??

07-13-2007, 12:08 PM

Yesterday, after my friends domain was hijacked away from his Godaddy account, I started looking for a new domain registrar.

I'll NOT use Moniker since Traffic Club (a company owned by Moniker) support these scammers. They are always parking these scammers and refuse to shut down their account, and even refuse reply any attempt of contact.

Ive read horror stories about DirectNic and eNom, so they are out too.

I haven't been able to find any horror history about Namecheap. So I'm considering using them.

Anyone ever had any serious problems with Namecheap?

I'm just a newbie.

Never had a problem, and I use them on about 80% of my domains. Makes it a lot easier to sell them as well.

Ive got about 100 over there - the only problem was when i first seeded my account with cash they initially flagged it as fraud, it was however easily resolved and no problems since.

I recommend them

No issues with Namecheap.

Had plenty crap with other registrars over years and as a cautionary comment - every registrar is OK till the day they start screwing up. But, so far - Namecheap is problem free.

No problems for, plus they use virtual epass which rocks.

Plus getting a domain registered is pretty quick, not your usual, go through tonnes of ticking boxes etc

I have a big nightmare story with them, my account with more than 200 domains was frozen, I got an email saying: your account is terminated for fraud. I will not even mention that there was no fraud on this account, I tried emailing them and calling but nobody answered and I lost all domains (quite valuable ones)

btw: I moved all domains from regfly to them, a few months before regfly crashed

Hey, what's the deal with your friend getting his domain
highjacked from GoDaddy? I have quite a few domains
with them and have heard rumors about names getting
jacked but, wasn't sure if it was really true.

I randomly found them and tried them for a few potential throwaway domains and have been fairly happy, although there interface can be a bit cumbersome.

Plus, at least for now, they are offering free WHOIS privacy.

Also, check out Dynadot - I've had great luck with them

I have about 60 domains there and so far there hasn't been a problem. If you have over 50 domains be sure to email them and get your own personal permanent coupon code that is good for renewals and new purchases. It is like a dollar off each time but that adds up.

Namecheap is a middleman reseller for Enom. Namecheap is not a registrar. I don't know how much control Namecheap really has over your domains, but I wouldn't deal with a middleman in something as important as domains.

Normally they just say your account has been frozen for suspected fraud, then you have to have them call you at the phone number you have listed on your whois in order to reinstate your account. I think they do this will all people sooner or later. There might even be some sort of red flag that automatically triggers this. With me, the first time I used them I had purchased about 5 adult domain names all at once, which is what I think did it.

I had problems with it because I was never home to answer the call, but eventually I got it sorted out by emailing them some documents. I guess you might run into troubles if you never gave them a real phone number or something like that.

I am gradually switching all my domains over to namecheap. Other than the initial fraud verification thing they made me go through, they have been perfect.
