Budget-friendly domain registrar and hosting provider known for free WHOIS privacy and low renewal price hikes.

Namecheap consistently prices below GoDaddy on both new and renewal domains, and free WHOIS privacy (which competitors often upsell) is included by default. Its hosting tier is solid for small sites but less performance-focused than SiteGround or Kinsta.
