@Namecheap I don't think you understand any of my concerns because you seem to not have read my complaint. The email address I use to renew my company's has never changed since 2012. For Namecheap, a criminal who hacked a Namecheap account becomes the probable owner of this last...

@DomainGang I'll never understand why a company in their position makes these moves. People like bargains at every level. Higher income, higher coupon usage. Some people don't like the NameCheap brand but it will be a winner because people like quality for cheap. Make Afternic Great Again!

The problem: Cold email domains getting flagged because registrars like GoDaddy and NameCheap expose your domain identity. Most people pay premium prices for DNS management and still get terrible deliverability. Cloudflare changes everything.

@DotWeekly @Namecheap Sounds like something like a trendline chart where X-axis is time and Y-axis is the number of searches would help.

@Namecheap ok I’ve been with you for all my business and each family member at top tier for over a decade maybe 15 I had enough and started to move everything to SS. Over £17,999 a year may be a drop in the bucket for you but to UK Small business it’s significant. You give emails,you have a menu driven site so as businesses grow they can stick with you smart. Whoever named your company with the word Cheap in is is a moron. How about valuenames? Savvynames? EcoNames? The people who can spend for your top tiers are going to be older more to spend. Make it idiot proof. Add a product £30 extra/ month for 6 months gets you 3 45 minute calls that don’t roll

Here’s the move: Scrape every expired domain off registrars like GoDaddy, Namecheap, and Porkbun. Surface level these are just abandoned URLs, but the gold isn’t in the name – it’s in the metadata. Most expired domains are remnants of real businesses, spinouts, or content plays that left behind breadcrumbs: backlinks, Moz rank, old traffic, brand mentions, even their ghost social media accounts. The play? Revive them with their existing footprint. This isn’t a domain flipping arbitrage where you buy for $10 and sell for $5k (though you can). It’s a signal-growth arbitrage. An asymmetric launchpad to resurrect abandoned relevancy that still carries weight online. First, you build a scraper that pulls every expired domain under specified criteria: backlinks to known publications, archived traffic via tools like Ahrefs, and specific niches (e.g., e-commerce brands, niche blogs, legacy Yelp entries). Run this clean list through OpenCorporates or a state LLC database to pull associated business entity info, previous owner names, and filing statuses. Is the LLC dissolved? Are trademarks still live? These determine how aggressively you can operate post-buyout: either as a cheeky rebrand revival or outright shadow clone. Next, cross-check the ghost site with its archived competitors. Most of these directories and small publishers built backlinks in heavily interlinked ecosystems – rankings in niches like D2C, local services, and content aggregators are HIGHLY parasitic. You don’t have to rebuild a perfect business model; you just attach yourself to their existing domain graph and profit off both borrowed SEO juice and category recall. Here’s an example. I’ve seen expired domains from shuttered furniture startups that still pull 100+ organic hits daily due to legacy Pinterest pins, influencer backlinks, Instagram SEO users tagging the name, and content aggregators that never cleaned their links. You buy the domain for $10, drop a Shopify or Notion “contact me for inventory” placeholder within 12 hours, then link to an active dropship site until traffic stabilizes. You monetize their traffic and customer confusion into private-label arbitrage. Got another layer? Backlink shadowing. Resurrect an abandoned domain and then cold email all existing backlink partners (the blogs, listicles, “Top 10 tools” articles KEEPING their SEO alive). Your email is simple: “Hi – the URL on your page linking to X is broken. My team has repaired it following a brand merge. Could you swap links to our updated page?” Most content managers don’t blink. Boom, you just highjacked hundreds of inbound organic links from zombie domains AND leftover active competitor pages. Scaling involves operating vertical-specific “ghost farms.” Bundle entire micro-niches – abandoned domains of elder law firms, SaaS pricing comparison blogs, legacy templates-for-download libraries – which serve clear resale audiences (think affiliate marketeers, e-commerce grinders, SEO operators). Package these domains, leaving the existing relevance untouched so customers can drop on top of working SEO juice. When layered correctly, this isn’t just individual domain sniping; it’s a system to become the primary operator in any niche left stagnant by abandoned domain inertia. Add one final cherry: feed competitor data. Let their dead URLs become YOUR growth vector. The internet’s graveyard holds ROI. You just need a shovel.

@Namecheap I’ve been a loyal @Namecheap customer for years. I followed their support’s instruction to buy a Stellar Business plan to restore my sites — now they refuse to restore into the plan I purchased and want to charge me extra through manipulative operations. This is unacceptable.

@Namecheap Very disappointed with @Namecheap. Bought new hosting on Sept 20, never used it, and now they expect renewal by Oct 20? Is that fair or right before God? Loyal customers deserve better. Tickets: NC-FYE-9152 / NC-BIN-1665
