@Namecheap service quality has gone to hell. Apparently they're not reporting to ICANN that contact info for domains is valid and domains are randomly getting suspended for no reason. I'll probably be moving my domains to a different host once I find a good one...
This explanation does not seem plausible; the A records on namecheap DNS hosting were also changed to point to the suspension page.
*sigh* I’ve been in the process of moving mine to namecheap.
Apparently it was Whoisguard's fault, neither responding to nor forwarding the contact verification request. Why is whoisguard still a thing post-GDPR? Isn't whois dead?
I figured "whoisguard is now free" just meant "we're complying with GDPR and hiding your contact info without delegating to a third party", but apparently they do that anyway without whoisguard enabled and enabling whoisguard just suspends your domain for no reason.
That’s an...interesting choice.
Apparently whoisguard is a dead company now that their service is useless (because of GDPR) and they've just shutdown while still nominally being in control of millions of domains...
Only thing @Namecheap screwed up on was promoting "whoisguard is now free" rather than "whoisguard is obsolete thanks to GDPR, everybody gets whois privacy for free". CS rep ack'd it was a whoisguard issue and fixed it quickly so I probably won't be leaving over this.
GDPR protection only applies to EU residents. If registrant is not located in EU, their WHOIS info will be publicly displayed. So they either have to pay for privacy protection or use free service if registrar offers it.
No, it applies to EU citizens regardless of address, and registrars have no way to determine citizenship, so they must assume it applies to everyone.
