Concerning e-mail from Namecheap
A third party mass-email system, SendGrid, was abused by malicious actors that sent mass emails making it look as if Namecheap sent them. That wasn't the case and Namecheap sent out an email explaining its research.

Drop competition has increased a lot lately, wondering why
The pandemic gave people the opportunity to expand their home-based business and that includes domain name investing. It seems that in recent months, drop-catching has expanded to a new level, with domainers becoming very competitive. Share your thoughts by joining the discussion.

The US Government no longer supports .com domains
Using .com domain names won't be an option soon for US federal, military, and local government web sites. The US Government sent out a memo reminding federal and other government agencies in the US, including the military, that suitable domains are .gov and .mil. Will everyone drop their .com?
