An onslaught of fresh domain name registrations focusing on the .bio gTLD are using Namecheap as the registrar of choice.
Currently offering $1.98 registrations of .bio domains, the low price is being abused at Namecheap by spammers that are promoting drones, sexual enhancements, portable wi-fi routers and “smarter backpacks” from dubious sources.
Here are some domains used in this spamming crusade via .bio:
- twisttidy.bio
- wagonloop.bio
- preferoffice.bio
- breezedirect.bio
- locatebudget.bio
- labourhelmet.bio
- squashfriend.bio
- exoticlaunch.bio
- designflight.bio
- opposelabour.bio
Dot .bio domains are managed by Identity Digital, formerly known as Donuts. It’s really a shame that we have to block an entire gTLD just because of a few persistent bad apples that are spamming our mailboxes.

Help, Namecheap!
