I wouldn't have cared much about Domain Name Register just a week ago, but after what happen at Zoho, and all the horror story in the comments section from namecheap and others, Cloudflare Registar couldn't come at a better time.

I really wish Cloudflare at least made $1 or $2 Gross Profits per domain. Who paids for Domain Register Support? I would much rather be a "customer" than I am not sure where they are making money from my Domain.

P.S - If those were wholesale price, do other companies get heavy discount for signing up in bulks? How do other companies made money when they are selling it for $0.99 or $6.99

I though namecheap was one of the better ones around? I'm looking for a domain registrar. Could share the link with namecheap horror stories? Thanks

I think [0] is the article in question; just search the page for the namecheap comments.

It seems like it was just a handful of users who posted their story multiple times. The users highclass, ethanwillis, kweks all had multiple comments only about namecheap on a thread that wasn't directly about namecheap.

Can I get more horror stories to confirm those are real? It's unfortunate because namecheap used to have the exact opposite reputation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3396606

I was one of the upvoted posters there. TLDR: I was issued couriered C&Ds to a postal and email address only used on Namecheap.

The attacking party had no court order, subpoena, judgement, etc.

Ted from namecheap asked me to email him. He confirmed legal had received the complaints, but said they hadn't replied.

He hasn't replied to my email since (3 days ago) to offer any explanation how the attacking lawyers got details on in NC.

YMMV, but it is a real issue, which cost me just under 2k in legal fees to unwind. I am definitely moving away from NC, sadly, after 10 years.

Just had a follow up from Ted. He says that legal received a complaint but ignored it, and perhaps the leak vector was via historical whois data. Historical whois data says otherwise. Hard to draw a firm conclusion apart from the facts.
