Namecheap WHOIS lookups: what to expect
Namecheap was founded in 2000 and is one of the world's largest registrars with over 17 million domains under management. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Namecheap holds IANA registrar ID 1068 and is known for competitive pricing, strong privacy advocacy and free WhoisGuard privacy service on most domains. Namecheap has been a vocal opponent of ICANN policies it considers harmful to internet freedom.
When a domain is registered with Namecheap, the RDAP registrar entity shows 'NameCheap, Inc.' with IANA ID 1068. Namecheap includes WhoisGuard (their WHOIS privacy service) free for life on most gTLD registrations. When WhoisGuard is active, the registrant details show WhoisGuard, Inc.'s address rather than the actual owner's information. Abuse reports for Namecheap domains should be sent to abuse@namecheap.com.
Namecheap domains typically use Namecheap's own nameservers (dns1.registrar-servers.com) unless the customer has configured external DNS. Standard domain status locks (clientTransferProhibited, etc.) apply. Namecheap is also known for its reseller platform, so some domains registered through smaller hosting companies are backed by Namecheap.
