Don't search domain on namecheap

I agree with you
Years ago I found a special domain name was Available after 4 hours, I found it taken under Namecheap Company

Why do you think those domains are "premium"? Simple because many people are "testing" the prices and what not using "asdasdasda"and the like - registrars detect a lot of searches and voila - premium domains.

Damn, that's really good to know.
I'll be using https://lookup.icann.org/lookup more from now on.

Yes, they are doing this stuff. Thats not a coincidence. I had the same problem here with a few of my domains. They were about to expire, then I paid for the renewal. Later on got a refund for the domain and they said something in their system failed. They are really sneaky. I think Godaddy does the same.

I would recommend you to register domains with Cloudflare.

EXACTLY the SAME thing happened to me for not one but two domains !!!!!!!!

Big thiefs Namecheap

I was doing a search for two domains. I left the two in my kart. I wanted to buy one then 5 hours later voila the two domains where reserved by another person. The impressive thing is that they already setup the landing page and everything (as if it is a real buisness model behind)

Here it one of he domain :




It was registered today at 3.33pm

I specficically signed up for Namecheap today 3 hours before :



I simply put the domain in my cart, waited a bit because I wanted to be sure, then BAM domains taken 3 hours after (with landing page and eveything)
