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.

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

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?

Screenshots are not enough, they ask for eml

Can't that still be pretty trivially faked?

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

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.

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