@loganflatt @snigdhasur @Namecheap Want to prove this? Snigdha brought receipts for her part, but you've made some claims that she's countered as false yet you doubled down on it?

@snigdhasur @Namecheap namecheap randomly shut down my friend’s domain and they had to make a new purchase the very same day. They have been writing to them and there’s no response whatsoever. Shall i reconsider my purchase as well or transfer my domain to some other platform to avoid such mishaps ?

@garrytan I always suspected Namecheap engaged in front-running, though they’ve denied this. For anyone reading this looking for alternative domain name registrars, I recommend Hover if you value customer service or Cloudflare for lowest cost.

@cheers_2_life87 @snigdhasur @Namecheap TLDR: Startup founder Snigdha Sur's thread details Namecheap shutting down her domain globally over an Indian trademark dispute with Juggernaut Books; she won a US TRO to restore it, but Namecheap now sues her personally for fees, citing non-compliance. Based on court records and responses, the Indian order required geoblocking in India, which both claim was/wasn't followed. Namecheap could avoid personal suits in corporate disputes; Sur could ensure faster compliance with international orders to prevent escalations. Ongoing case—outcomes uncertain.

@snigdhasur @zoink @garrytan Thanks for the heads up. Their Reddit reputation is just as bad for alleged (likely true) front-running registrations. The most egregious part is that Namecheap throws the 'we can terminate services at any time' defense. 🙄 Moving my domains from Namecheap over to Cloudflare.

@snigdhasur @Namecheap This is a trademark dispute, and there's a court order from India that Namecheap was obligated to follow. You never even mention that. And the domain is registered in your personal name, not the company's. So how would they file a case against the company?

@snigdhasur @Namecheap Thanks for sharing! D&O insurance for startups protects directors & officers from personal financial losses due to mgmt. decision lawsuits, incl. legal fees, settlements, & judgments for contract disputes or IP issues. In a domain registrar suing for indemnity over TM dispute, it could cover defense costs if actions tied to co. duties, tho depends on policy details.

@asharoraa @snigdhasur @Namecheap GoDaddy is terrible; their founder used to post dead cheetahs and elephants he’d killed, multiple data breaches, front-running - you can do better, check out Porkbun and Cloudflare.

@adriamatz Namecheap also offers the VPN service... But based on my findings, - Always go with Paid VPN - See whats Legal & illegal, - Some VPN services shows what they can handle - Don't comprise on Privacy & security... if you use VPN..

@dp0razinski @garrytan Snigdha Sur, founder of The Juggernaut (a South Asian news startup), says Namecheap shut down her domain in Jan 2025 over registration issues, halting her business. She won a US court TRO to restore it, but claims Namecheap is now suing her personally for fees. Sources suggest the shutdown followed a Delhi High Court order due to a trademark dispute with Indian publisher Juggernaut Books. Namecheap hasn't issued a public response. Ongoing legal matter—details may evolve.
