The UI is terrible. When i logged in i was presented with alarming "expired" notice on my domains. Any domain holder knows that these types of messages can cause heart attacks. Digging in i discovered that the expired element is some ssl cert that i never used. there is no way to turn off this "expired" notice. no easy way to sort my domains or whois guards and see which are soon to expire.

i have ~50 domains registered in namecheap which are now almost unmanageable.

btw - ssl has such a familiar icon. why invent a new icon for ssl? The expiration column is of the domain or whoisguard? namechaep are not stupid people... how did this design get through?

I ended up renewing a domain that doesn't expire for 6 months because of this. I bet that's exactly why they did it. Even the hover text was ambiguous, something like "expired Oct 31"
