Namecheap plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Domains | $0.88/year | 4 | Entry tier |
| Web Hosting | $2.88/month | 4 | +$2/month, 4 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Standard Domains
$0.88/yearThe entry tier. It covers domain registration, free whoisguard, dynamic dns, url forwarding.
Web Hosting
$2.88/monthOver Standard Domains, this tier adds:
- Unlimited bandwidth

Before you pay for Namecheap
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $0.88/year and $2.88/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Namecheap against the tools that do have one before committing.
Namecheap runs on web, and is published by Namecheap Inc of Los Angeles, CA. The full record is on the Namecheap review.
Namecheap pricing questions
- How much does Namecheap cost?
- Namecheap publishes 2 tiers, from $0.88/year for Standard Domains up to $2.88/month for Web Hosting. The cheapest paid tier is $0.88/year.
- Does Namecheap have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: Namecheap is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.

- Web Hosting costs $2.88/month against $0.88/year, and adds unlimited bandwidth, free ssl, easy wordpress install, 24/7 support.

- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is unlimited bandwidth, free ssl, easy wordpress install, 24/7 support. It costs $2.88/month against $0.88/year for Standard Domains. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Namecheap?
- The record lists 8 features across 1 area: core.
- Does Namecheap charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 2 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Namecheap prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Namecheap against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Namecheap to make a useful price comparison.
