Namecheap began its journey in 2000 as a domain registrar with aspirations to be the best in the industry.
Since then, Namecheap has registered over 14 million domain names all across the world, proving that its ambition has come true.
In addition, it has been expanding its service offerings and improving its platform to include web hosting.
Namecheap isn’t only a domain registrar; it also offers a variety of other services. Shared hosting starts at $1.58 a month (if you commit to a year) and includes WordPress management, VPS (virtual server), and dedicated server options.
Most plans allow you to choose the location of your server, but some are more affordable than others. For example, the “Stellar” shared hosting plan costs $1.58 per month, but only if you choose a data center in the United States. The price goes up to $2.44 if you choose the UK or (recently) Europe, and this is true for any package that allows you to select a data center location. We should also point out that when the promotional period has finished, all plans have a significant increase in price.
For a free domain name registration, choose an annual or biannual billing cycle, rather than a monthly one. There is also a free CDN (content delivery network) now in beta with “Stellar,” as well as support for up to three websites with 20GB of storage and unlimited bandwidth.
In addition to the 30 days of money-back promise, all plans (save for dedicated server ones) come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
When it comes to payment options, Namecheap takes credit/debit cards (MasterCard and American Express), PayPal, Bitcoin, and Bitcoin Cash, among others.
Namecheap’s dashboard is as basic as they come, but it appears to be enough for monitoring and controlling items you’ve purchased as well as adding new ones. From there, you can access your control panel, which should be an industry-leading cPanel that allows you to simply install all of the apps you want (thanks to Softaculous), check your SSL certificates, manage your backups, use the drag-and-drop website builder, contact the support staff, and more.
If you want assistance, go to Namecheap’s “Help Center,” where you will be presented with a number of options.
If you value self-sufficiency, the knowledgebase, which also includes a range of how-to video instructions, should be your first stop.

I’ve used Namecheap for all of my domain name purchases for more than a decade. I’ve had no problems and I can think of no reason I would ever switch.

I love NameCheap! Thanks to this site I own 4 domains that establish my intent to develop my brand and trademark and hopefully provide some protection until I am able to formally register and launch them. Affordability and ease of use make this a no-brainer for this happy customer of over 6 years….

I think Namecheap is best.
Because it price is fair and constant. Like other services they give cheap at first then take more in renewal time. But Namecheap is not like others.
