📄 Editorial Review

Founded in 2000, Namecheap has evolved from a modest domain registrar into one of the most recognized names in the domain and hosting industry. Today, Namecheap is an ICANN-accredited registrar managing over 17 million domains for clients worldwide. With more than 1,700 employees operating across 18 countries, it’s clear that Namecheap has grown significantly while retaining its original mission: to provide affordable, reliable services for everyone.

Although it’s best known for its competitively priced domain registrations, Namecheap offers a comprehensive suite of services, including shared hosting, WordPress hosting, VPS, dedicated servers, reseller hosting, private email, SSL certificates, and a website builder. Additional services like WHOIS privacy (WhoisGuard), business apps, and eCommerce tools demonstrate their effort to cater to both beginners and small-to-medium business owners.

While Namecheap has made strides to expand its hosting services, it's still often seen as a domain-first company. Some users have reported issues like slower page load times, which may hinder their ability to compete with hosting-centric providers like Bluehost or SiteGround. Nevertheless, the value-for-money proposition and transparency they offer remain core attractions.
