I switched to namecheap during the godaddy exodus. Multiple times in the last 30 days they have disabled domains due to requiring whois contact verification. In one case the same domain being disabled 3 times in a row. Each time I'm assured it will not happen again and yet it does. And when it happens, not only do they change your DNS servers but they wipe out all your host records if you use their DNS service so you have to either rebuild your zone or stay online with support for hours while they restore everything. I've also had them revert a domain's DNS servers so that is is parked on an "expired" domain landing page before the domain was expired. I have a client that has also had their domain repeatedly switched to whois validation required this year. The only explanation I've been given is that it was a "system glitch" and won't happen again.
Seems likely that some of the issues might have been related to them switching from being an Enom reseller to their own direct ICANN accreditation but I'm still planning on migrating my domains out.
