Interesting, I hadn't heard of any problems like this when I decided to use them for my last few domain name purchases. Maybe I should look into switching. Do you have any recommendations by any chance?
- highclass 9y agoI'm looking around right now. The registrar for reddit.com and ycombinator.com both are https://www.gandi.net/ https://www.gandi.net/ I am considering them and a few foreign registrars right now. I still am in shock how namecheap might have suspended my domain.
- finid 9y agoI think they were just been paranoid about potential legal penalties, so take it easy.
- highclass 9y agoThat is ridiculous. They threatened to suspend my domain within 24 hours if I did not delete two images. I don't even use their nameservers... They threatened to yank my domain in a registrar level which is so amateurish it shocked me.
- andrewmcwatters 9y agoI've always heard great things about Gandi. I might move back to them after hearing about this. Thanks.
- finid 9y agoI've never had any problem with Namecheap, but then I use them only as a domain registrar. I host my servers on DigitalOcean. That means I'm responsible for my servers, buy that's how I like it.
- highclass 9y agoI didn't have any problem until today with namecheap. I think you can tell a good service from a bad service when a real issue arises like today. It is ridiculous that they gave me 24 hours to delete two images or suspend my domain without any warning. I didn't even know that was possible! If I had missed their email or checked my email 24 hours later, my domain could have been suspended. This is a site with visitors in the range of hundred thousands per day... I am still shocked on how they managed this.
