Beware: eNom and NameCheap Suspend domains based on bogus claims by a fake company - Page 3

Just to update you all on this thread: We actually convinced/demanded that enom to allow 10 days before a pharma domain reported on LegitScript be suspended. This policy is 100% due to us and our disatisfaction with it. Especially the part with domains being suspended without warning. So basically a domain will still resolve for 10 days after a warning and will remain unlocked so that it may be transferred away elsewhere.

This policy started atleast a few weeks ago. To those that always try to make us out as the bad guys here that's definitely not the case. We are always trying to defend domain owners rights whenever we can. I think this new policy does just that in this case.

The 10 days is a big improvement.

It's not ideal, but at least gives people some time to update their website content and/or transfer their domain out.

If you can further convince eNom to exclude NameCheap customers from such enforcement, that would be spectacular.

It's great to see that NameCheap has taken steps to help resolve this and allow transferring the domains. 10 days is enough to transfer a domain, but of course its always possible that the domain owner won't receive the notice on time.

Or possibly not at all in the case in a recent reported incident by mis_chiff who has a .CA domain being held hostage...
