NameCheap and .cloud Domain

3 points

7 years ago

I was looking at domain names for a new project, and I was using NameCheap.com to search for available domains, when I came across something very interesting and SHORT let's call it

domain.cloud

yes, the .cloud TLD. I continued to scroll through the list of domains available with other TLD but I didn't find anything, so I decided to go back to the

domain.cloud

only to be told by the system that it was no longer available, but - of course - I could make an offer

uhmm.... sounds fishy to me.

And I can't find a whois server that will give me the name of the registrant or at least the date of registration.

Can anyone cast some insights into this?
