Seems whois lookup shows godaddy as their registrar. This would make me avoid them as a registrar.

Namecheap in our experience also has a similar policy and simply sends an email and threatens to suspend domain in 24 hours if they have a significant abuse report. Abuse reports can of course happen and are needed, but sending a single email and then suspending domains is utterly a horrible practice since many domains will have significant user uploaded content.

On the other hand my experience with Amazon abuse team has been positive. They send an email and follow up, without something as ridiculous as suspending domain automatically.

I would avoid Godaddy and Namecheap for domain usage in any significant business.
