A gentle reminder. This topic is about how domain shadowing can lead to the IP of your VPS being used to attack other domains. There needs to be tougher measures by domain registrars to verify the use of IPs when name servers are added to the domains.
I also don't have problems with contacting Namecheap. I've tried Freenom years ago, with no result. But that is not the issue here. The issue is the general practice of registrars to allow domains to point to IPs that are not legitimately "owned" by the owner of the domain. There should be tougher measures somehow. For example when I dealt with a member from Italy I discovered that with Domain Registrars in Italy when someone adds name servers to a domain, one has to have two legitimate name servers with different IPs that have to be verified before they can be added to the domain at the Registrar. You can't just do it as you would at Namecheap. So in essence both domain as well as where it directs to should be more strictly controlled.
