Namecheap Review
The lowest entry price in this comparison, with a rare 100%-worded uptime guarantee.
Namecheap's Stellar plan starts with a 30-day free trial, then the lowest ongoing price of any provider we cover at $2.28/mo (billed yearly) for 20GB SSD storage across 3 websites — plus a 100% uptime guarantee, worded more boldly than the 99.9% most competitors state.
Namecheap's own pricing page even runs a live competitor-comparison widget against Bluehost, GoDaddy, Hostinger, SiteGround, and DreamHost — an unusually direct move for a provider's official page.
