    Is it just me or is namecheap.com being sneaky with those .mobi domains?

    I ordered about 4 domains in the past week and it seems some how the .mobi for the domain im ordering gets added to my order list and I have to click "remove" to get rid of it. I never checked it myself.

    I think that its pretty shady that they would do such as thing, but i still love them.

    What if i was expecting to get my one domain and clicked next and got charged the $19.98 for the unwanted mobi domain?!?

    anyone else notice this?

    "namecheap being sneaky with mobi!". I guess it's easy to conclude such from
    what you just experienced.

    I just tested this a while ago. Namecheap's site does list it if I did multiple but
    separate searches for availability.

    You know, cookies and all that. Unfortunately if you didn't clear your browser
    cache or something, Namecheap's site will likely "assume" you wanted all the
    names you searched and selected.

    It's probably for convenience. But most if not every convenience has a built-in
    "flaw" somewhere.

    That's why there's a review page before you went to the next stage. As the
    saying goes, "haste makes waste."

    But...believe what you want. If you don't want this problem, then don't use
    them.
