Any phishing domain in my spam folder is NameCheap 9 times out of 10.
- eli 3y agoIsn't it the biggest after godaddy?
- IMSAI8080 3y agoNo idea. It might just be they are lower priced than other places that attracts miscreants wanting domains in bulk.
- TechBro8615 3y agoSo spammers are attracted to the same low prices and quality of services as anyone else? The subtext of this comment chain is a pretty weird take. The fact a domain is registered at Namecheap does not by itself make it any more likely to be a source of spam.
- Emiledel 3y agoWould you have evidence of this?
- TechBro8615 3y agoYes, I have domains at Namecheap that don't host spam.
- johndough 3y agoI think it is more likely that spammers favor Namecheap because Namecheap ignores spam reports (at least mine). So far, I received the same kind of spam from ~500 of their domains.
- KomoD 3y agoIn my experience they handle abuse amazingly, suspended within 30min most of the time
- zinekeller 3y agoIt was just a relatively recent development in large part due to Facebook (https://domainnamewire.com/2022/04/25/meta-platforms-drops-lawsuit-against-namecheap-after-settlement/ https://domainnamewire.com/2022/04/25/meta-platforms-drops-l...), after this settlement the response to abuse reports did markedly improve.
- KomoD 3y agoThey've handled abuse great for me, even before that
- TechBro8615 3y agoWhat kind of evidence do you need to provide when reporting spam to a domain registrar? Could I get your domain banned by spoofing spam emails and sending screenshots of them to Namecheap?
- KomoD 3y agoScreenshots are not enough, they ask for eml
- TechBro8615 3y agoCan't that still be pretty trivially faked?
- KomoD 3y agoNot too sure, not sure of the process how they validate it
- IMSAI8080 3y agoThat wasn't the intent of the comment. The original article was suggesting Freenom was popular with spammers. I was adding my observation that it has often been Namecheap that is prolific in my spam folder. We then go on to discuss why that may be.
