Anand Vora explains why he joined Namecheap and what to expect from the company going forward.
Anand Vora, who leads the domain businesses for Namecheap and Spaceship, joins me on this week’s show to discuss his move and his plans for both companies.
In our conversation, Anand outlines his background in the domain industry, describes the differences between working on the registry side versus the registrar side, and shares what he expects to accomplish at Namecheap and Spaceship. He explains why he chose to join Namecheap and how his experience will shape product decisions, partnerships, and customer experience going forward.
We also touch on broader industry developments, including efforts to integrate Web3 technologies and recent policy changes that affect domain investors. Anand offers perspective on technical working groups focused on Web3 integration and how registrars and registries might collaborate to support new internet naming systems while protecting domain holders and the broader ecosystem.
This episode includes discussion of NIXI’s recent actions regarding domain investors and what that could mean for domain speculation and investment strategies in markets affected by those policies. Anand provides practical advice for domain holders navigating these changes and for those evaluating domain investments internationally.
