While this sounds perfectly reasonable I'm wondering why these rate limits weren't already lifted for a very large, well known, established domain registrar like Namecheap.
Further more, it seems that the onus would still be on GoDaddy to investigate the large amount of traffic coming from the whois queries, notice they are legitimate and coming from Namecheap, and rectify the situation... though Namecheap should have contacted GoDaddy as well.
- freejack 15y agoIts not as clear when you are seeing traffic from a reseller like Namecheap. I can imagine that their query traffic comes through enom and their own systems depending on the TLD in question.
- teaneedz 15y agoI found the community manager response from NameCheap rather interesting. Looks like they did attempt to reach out which is what I would have expected prior to such a blog in the first place. http://community.namecheap.com/blog/2011/12/26/godaddy-transfer-update/#comment-1709 http://community.namecheap.com/blog/2011/12/26/godaddy-trans...
- astrodust 15y agoVolume. Namecheap's query level was probably quite low in the past as people were likely transferring from a variety of registrars, not a single one en-masse.
