NameCheap Cloak

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by discoverclips, Oct 25, 2005.

    I was so stupid to register my domain through namecheap, search-engine bots can't crawl my website because it's in some kind of frame.

    NameCheap uses a cloak, so you always get to see the main www.domain.com in the addressbar, regardless of the links you click.

    I also found out that you have to wait a minimum of 60 days to transfer a domain name. :(

    I'm using Namecheap without any frames.

    Are you sure it isn't your host?

    Namecheap is one ofthe top registars out there, I have no idea of what you are doing or what you mean by "can't crawl my website because it's in some kind of frame"

    ditto. have used namecheap for two years - very few problems, and definitely not what you are describing.

    I have namecheap for some of my domains and have no issues. Sounds like it might be a setting in your domain control panel or your webhost.

    I use only namecheap and didn't have any problem so far. I don't think namecheap is your problem..

    It might be your host. I used a host once which kept having problems and its banner (in a frame) kept showing up on my pages, which messed them up, especially when you navigated off the index page.

    LOL, you need to select "transfer dns to webhost" and input your webhost's DNS servers, because you are currently using URL Forwarding with an Iframe (cloaking). This is not a standard setup and is an added feature from Namecheap.
