Do Not use namecheap.com for any large site or important domain

I'm looking around right now. The registrar for reddit.com and ycombinator.com both are https://www.gandi.net/

I am considering them and a few foreign registrars right now.

I still am in shock how namecheap might have suspended my domain.

I've always heard great things about Gandi. I might move back to them after hearing about this. Thanks.

I think they were just been paranoid about potential legal penalties, so take it easy.

That is ridiculous. They threatened to suspend my domain within 24 hours if I did not delete two images.

I don't even use their nameservers... They threatened to yank my domain in a registrar level which is so amateurish it shocked me.
