Namecheap Hosting review
The cheapest way to park a small site · Founded 2000 · US
Our verdict
Unbeatable on price, including at renewal, which is rare. Performance and support are the trade-off. Fine for a brochure site, not for anything that earns.
$120 over three years one term at the intro rate, then two renewals

What it actually costs
checked 27 Jul 2026The advertised price applies to your first term only. Here is the same plan over three years.
For comparison, the cheapest renewal we track is MilesWeb at $2.28/mo — about $19.20 a year less than Namecheap Hosting once the intro term ends. Whether that matters depends on what you get for the difference; read both.

Who it is for
A brochure site, a portfolio, or a domain you want parked somewhere competent and very cheap.
Why the renewal matters here
Namecheap has the cheapest renewal on this list by a wide margin — under $4/month where competitors reach $14-18. Note that shared-hosting renewals rose on 19 May 2026, so older reviews quote lower figures.
The trade-off
Performance and support are the weakest here on aggregated public feedback, and there is no free migration. Fine for a site that does not earn; not what we would choose for one that does.
