Did you see that facebook is suing NameCheap?
I just read an article about facebook suing namecheap for allowing the registration of domains that can be used to compromise their brands. There has been a lot of discussion about registering domains with trademark names.
It has been tempting to grab domains that probably could generate good traffic and affiliate commissions. It could work out, but more than likely if you build anything on one of these domains, you will be asked to stop using their brand. Its not a good idea to build your business around one of these names that include a brand owned by someone else.
Be aware of Phishing Scams.
In many cases these closely branded names are used to trick a person into providing secure information. One may see a website lke <instagrambusinesshelp .com> and think its legit. It may be a site just trying to get access to your account. Thisis one of the reasons facebook is suing namecheap.com. They probably should not have allowed the registration It will be interesting to see if hey are successful in their lawsuit. Many have won already.

Thanks for sharing. I feel very secure doing that kind of business here at Wealthy Affiliate. I don’t even look at stuff from other sources. When you have the best why take chances?
Yeah - stick with wa for hosting and domains.
