So spammers are attracted to the same low prices and quality of services as anyone else? The subtext of this comment chain is a pretty weird take. The fact a domain is registered at Namecheap does not by itself make it any more likely to be a source of spam.

I think it is more likely that spammers favor Namecheap because Namecheap ignores spam reports (at least mine). So far, I received the same kind of spam from ~500 of their domains.

In my experience they handle abuse amazingly, suspended within 30min most of the time

It was just a relatively recent development in large part due to Facebook (https://domainnamewire.com/2022/04/25/meta-platforms-drops-l...), after this settlement the response to abuse reports did markedly improve.

[KomoD]

They've handled abuse great for me, even before that

[TechBro8615]

What kind of evidence do you need to provide when reporting spam to a domain registrar? Could I get your domain banned by spoofing spam emails and sending screenshots of them to Namecheap?

[KomoD]

Screenshots are not enough, they ask for eml

[TechBro8615]

Can't that still be pretty trivially faked?

[KomoD]

Not too sure, not sure of the process how they validate it

[IMSAI8080]

That wasn't the intent of the comment. The original article was suggesting Freenom was popular with spammers. I was adding my observation that it has often been Namecheap that is prolific in my spam folder. We then go on to discuss why that may be.

[Emiledel]

Would you have evidence of this?

[TechBro8615]

Yes, I have domains at Namecheap that don't host spam.
