I love namecheap - customer for over 10 years - but a recent incident has me rethinking my patronage. We recently received a "lawyer DDOS" - where a law firm sent multiple letters claiming /alleged/ trademark infringement. Without proof of identity, proof of subpoena, judge's order - whatever - namecheap rolled over on their WHOIS protection. There was no dialog, no email from legal, nothing.

I was dismayed to see that someone can literally send one email, get your personal info, and impact your company.

Very disappointed in namecheap.




I am also on namecheap and this freaks me out. can you provide more info?


Read my comments too. Namecheap definitely is just as bad.


Read some of my comments, they did the same to me.
