Domain 000.pe Suspended by Registry

If the registry owns the .pe domain, why don’t they want to deal with it?

Because InfinityFree is not a customer of them. 1API is their customer, and Namecheap is the customer of 1API. It’s perfectly normal that companies don’t work directly with the customers of their customers, as then they would essentially be going behind their actual customers’ back.

@Greenreader9

I would not expect nothing less, especially if it was a partially bad one. Remember that most websites have their own domain, if you came across a huge phishing scam on phishingscam.tld, and you contacted the TLD registry about it, you would want it taken down right away, not after an another 10 abuse reports and a 5 month investigation.

Most companies get REALLY trigger happy when they get a phishing report. It would be hypocritical to blame them for such policies of course, but it makes it very hard for a free hosting company to find trusted registrars and registries.

I got this reply from 1API. Feels like a wild goose Hunt to find the real person to contact

How many people does this domain go through lol. Looks like it’s enom.com

A White-Hat reseller. I bet that’s where Namecheap came from.

I think we’re screwed now.
But anyways,

[Greenreader9]

Enom will tell you to contact NameCheap, and NameCheap will tell you that you don’t own the domain

[Jri-Creator]

Yeah, I think this domain is screwed. If owner (admin) contacts Namecheap, owner would be told that they are trying to resolve the issue, but there isn’t anything going on.

wow this is one massive mess

[Jri-Creator]

If anything, this is the registry’s fault for this mess.

InfinityFree didn’t do anything wrong to have this.

[dan3008]

I know. I’m kind of glad I didn’t get a 000.pe domain. I joined about 2 days before the registary took it down.

I genuinly sympathise with everyone trying to resolve this

well not the registray… their fault, their mess

I can’t email [email protected] for some reason. On any email address, the email gets returned as ‘spam’.

Ringing both of the numbers, using both of my lines, fails to go through.

Long, long ago, Namecheap used to resell everything through Enom, until they got their own ICANN registration. So this is not surprising.

NAMECHEAP HAS A SEPERATE ICANN REGISTRATION?

This must have been one of the domains resold through Enom.

Check their footer lol

So it’s either Namecheap or Enom. Most likely Enom but none of their contact methods work. Couldn’t you just cancel the domain and change to a different provider to avoid Enom again?

The problem isn’t Namecheap or Enom. If you do a whois lookup on the domain, it’ll tell you the domain’s current status is “serverHold” meaning that it’s the registry that’s suspended the domain name, not the registrar. Specifically it’s the Peruvian registry NIC.PE. They operate the .pe TLD extension, so there’s absolutely no way to avoid dealing with them for the 000.pe domain.

Yes, of course. If you check a gTLD domain registered with them (like wuaze.com, kesug.com or great-site.net), you’ll see the registrar is listed as Namecheap.

But an ICANN registration is only for gTLD domains. For country code extensions, you usually need to register with the respective country’s registry, each with their own rules and requirements.

Namecheap probably has very few .pe domains registered, and it might not have been possible, or just too high a cost (in money or effort) to get their own registration, so they just resell the domains through another registrar instead. This is all quite common.

I just want to stress this here because it’s absolutely correct. Contacting NameCheap or enom wont do anything, they are not the one holding it.

And the Peruvian registry won’t reply to you because you’re not their customer, you aren’t even their customers customer. You are the customer of the customer of the registry’s customer which is so far down the line they just don’t care.

Tried contacting Namecheap, no luck. [Why would there be, I don’t own it!]

@Admin Try contacting Namecheap again. See if they have a response or something.
