Namecheap is down

No, I'm saying that in the past I will search a domain on Namecheap (something no one would be looking to purchase) and it will be free. I wait a week and then it's taken. They get registered for a year then expire... there was a thread about it on here a while back and others have experienced the same thing.

I do know they make domains "premium" on the fly.

You search for an available domain. If the keyword is valuable, they make it premium right there even if no one ever searched for it.

There was a thread here discussing it.
