Namecheap restricts domains containing Corona

[Jyeshtha]

If you still want to get a domain name with that word from namecheap, then you can contact their support and they will register it manually for you.

But the easiest thing is to go to another registrar.

The coronavirus is not intellectual property they shouldn't block it unless the virus got made in the lab. The mainstream media and big pharma destroys freedom of speech on the internet.

Or maybe just post natural cures and monetize using adsense or something.

Which is exactly what he or she should not be doing in this situation and the point I was trying to make.

in a time such as this with a global medical crisis these sorts of measures are more important than ever to stop the flow of miss information . Some freedoms are not always good things. I do agree however that big pharma destroys a lot of things and is one of the biggest challenges facing America and the world as a whole. People are stupid and selfish and so are governments but sometimes entities have to step in to make sure unscrupulous people don’t take advantage of situations like this.

Sadly communities such as black hat communities do not alway have the most moral of members so I’m not surprised to see discussions and debates of this type here to be honest.

as and when it is found (if ever). I thought it was implied.

This is to the point and those who are concerned about namecheap's decision, they have blocked the registration for that word, but if you have reason to get a domain with that word, you can contact them and get it registered manually by providing details about your plans for using the domain. Don't know if they keep checking what you use that domain for, but you can still get it.

Does it Allowed Purchase Domain With Corona ?

 

[bartosimpsonio]

The reason for the block is to avoid fake websites popup and scam people who are already in panic mode.

I dig that but it's not like corona is the first ever scam ridden thing? There are literally millions of scam domains out there, they gonna block every word now?

 

[Yolandapoirier]

No,but you must wear a mask before entering such a website.

 

[Mr Positive]

Yes this was discussed a while ago here they’re blocking people from buying it

 

[Elvlin]

Well no only domain, most ad network fb goggle included. block any offer connected with corona virus.
Btw just curious do you plan for the domain?, since it kind hard to sell. and i think it lose it value after this pandemic

 

[imanseptian]

Use another registrar. Problem solved.

Yes, but corona is a global pandemic and everyone is in lockdown, nothing caused these types of global lockdown. So too much vulnerable out there.

Well yeah corona is a crisis like few seen but I bet most domains registered for it aren't scams.

It's a good opportunity to make legit money informting, health, workouts, quarantine tips, etc.

Yes, thats what they saying, give the reason and get a domain.

 

[gdgtzz]

This domain 'xxxcoronaxxx.com' contains restricted phrase(s) and can't be registered.

Namecheap has restricted all corona-related domains.

Anyone else trying to register related domains there?

Lol I figured this would happen. I'm curious, what do you want corona domains for? How exactly can that be useful

I don't want corona domains.

Searched for one just to test if valuable kw's were getting registered
