Ngano nga Nagsalig Kanato
"Ako usa ka magbayad sa kostumer alang sa NameCheap sugod Nobyembre 2017.
Naa koy monitor NameCheapang gipaambit nga host sa server alang sa Uptime ug Performance pinaagi sa akong website hostpill-nc.website.
Kini nga pagrepaso sa NameCheap pinasukad sa aktwal nga pagsulay nga gihimo sa ilang mga server. ”
In the world of domain name registration, few names are bigger than Namecheap. Namecheap is well established in pagrehistro sa domain for its low prices and reliable service.
Sama sa daghang uban pa registrars, Namecheap also offers hosting services. Unfortunately, while we all know Namecheap ang registrar, few of us know Namecheap the host. This isn’t surprising, given that the company’s name directly refers to domains and not hosting, but nonetheless…
Today, you’re in luck! Because in this review I will summarize my findings by sa paggamit sa Namecheap. And to make things extra special, I’ll talk about Namecheap as both a host and registrar.
Ingon niana, giunsa Namecheap stack up? Is it only good for being cheap? Is it only good for managing its 10 million domains, or can it do the other part of the site equation as well?
It’s complicated, but we’ll get there. So without further ado, let’s talk about Namecheap!
pros
Magsugod ta sa unsa Namecheap has going for it, as a domain registrar and as a host.
Kay duha domain registration and hosting, Namecheap’s most notable strength is its affordability. Though prices of course vary product to product, it’s pretty clear that Namecheap generally has some of the labing ubos nga mga presyo sa pagrehistro sa domain ug pag-host.

Namecheap’s domain registrar side is decently-featured—you can do whatever you need to and importantly, you get free Whois privacy for a year with every domain registration (most registrars charge).
As a host, Namecheap isn’t laden with features and resources, but it’s certainly decent for the price—particularly with shared hosting, where one might already be looking for affordable options, Namecheap provides a good mix of price and resources.
Usa ka maayo nga butang bahin sa Namecheap mao ba kaayo sayon nga gamiton. Both hosting and registering a domain with Namecheap are seamless processes, with an intuitive and simple user interface largely lacking upsells.
Tin-aw, Namecheap is on a roll here—its customer support is good too, overall. The representatives are generally helpful and responsive, and the on-site information is decent. Nothing exceptional here, but little to complain about either.
Namecheap also has good security and is reliable as a registrar.
Ingon usa ka host… maayo, panahon na nga moadto kami sa pagbuto.
disbentaha
Downsides? But Namecheap was just doing so well! Yeah, well, low prices don’t always guarantee quality in everything, unfortunately.
The main qualm I have with Namecheap is questionable uptime scores (by our measurements). Our measurements have shown uptime below industry standard. Now, this isn’t the end of the world, but it does make its hosting look less attractive.
Dugang pa, alang sa Namecheap’s higher-end hosting products (such as VPS and dedicated hosting), I think Namecheap’s decent prices don’t count as much. Sure, it’s good to save, but anyone already investing in a heavier-handed hosting solution wants quality above all else.
With that in mind, it’s not that Namecheap is bad—it just might be a bit risky. If you’re looking for a more serious hosting solution, you’re probably better off checking out a company primarily dedicated to host.
On paper, the list of downsides doesn’t seem too long. However, they are a bit severe and may make Namecheap less attractive for some potential customers. We’ve only scratched the surface so far, though—let’s go deep into the details!
NameCheap: Pricing and Features:
This is a lot of information, so I’m going to talk first about Namecheap’s features and pricing as a domain registrar and then as a host. The other factors—ease of use onwards—are easier to evaluate together.
Namecheap ingon sa usa ka registrar is undoubtedly strong. The short version: it’s got great prices, good features, and is very straightforward as a service. No wonder it manages 10 million domains.
The longer version: a single .com domain on Namecheap usually goes for $8.88 a year at the time of this writing.
Kini na ang pila ka mga kwarta sa ilawom sa naandan nga presyo, ug bisan kung ang mga pagbayad sa pagbag-o mas taas, dili kini labi ka labi — labi na kung mopalit ka labi pa sa usa ka tuig sa sinugdanan.
Ingon usa ka butang, Namecheap usa sa labing kaayo nga kapilian kung gusto nimong ipadayon ang imong mga domain labi pa sa una nga duha ka tuig tungod kay ang mga presyo sa pagbag-o nagpabilin nga makanunayon sa tibuuk nga board.
You also get a free year of WhoisGuard, which is great because domain registrars tend to charge for it separately, and it’s essential for most users (WhoisGuard protects your privacy by hiding your registration details from the public registry of domains).
If you want to buy in bulk, Namecheap mao gihapon ang usa ka maayong kapilian. It’s got a ton of top-level domains (TLDs) to choose from, most of which are competitively priced. Namecheap’s tools are straightforward enough that even a bulk-buyer can manage things without much of a hassle.
Namecheap’s domain management apparatus also has an app store, apan kini medyo kulang.
Without bogging you down with unnecessary information, Namecheap’s work as a domain registrar is very solid. There aren’t a whole lot of tools, but that’s pretty natural considering you’re managing domains, not websites—and as far as those tools go, they work well and are very easy to get the hang of.
Atong hisgutan ang bahin sa pag-host niini:
As far as hosting goes, Namecheap has a surprisingly comprehensive set of options: shared, WordPress, reseller, VPS, and dedicated server hosting are all available.
If you’re like me, you’d expect shared hosting to be Namecheap’s main point of attraction—after all, affordable hosting seems like it would naturally be Namecheap’s strength.
Kung magbayad ka bulan matag bulan, magsugod kini sa $ 2.88. Bisan kung wala pa kita naabut sa mga bahin, kana labi ka maayo bili. But what makes it even more impressive is that it’s a month-to-month price, which is usually significantly more expensive. To have a monthly price so low means Namecheap’s shared hosting is on another level of affordability, that matched by only one or two other hosting companies.
Ang pagbayad matag tuig mas barato, labing menos sa una nga tuig. Sa ikaduha nga tuig, ang presyo nagdoble — naandan. Bisan pa dinhi, ang usa ka pagdoble sa presyo dili gihapon kasaligan. The renewed price of shared hosting with Namecheap is on par with first-year discounted prices on most other major hosting providers.
Mao kini Namecheap a truly affordable gipaambit nga kapilian sa host bisan human sa presyo sa pag-usab. Okay, apan ang bili niini?
Shared hosting options come with at minimum 20GB SSD-accelerated disk space, unmetered bandwidth, 3 websites, a site-builder, and the choice of a US or UK data center (though the UK datacenters cost a buck or two more a month). They also come with free domains, free WhoisGuard, and up to 50 Positive SSL certificates.
As you’d expect, higher tiers give you unlimited sites, AutoBackup option and more SSD disk space. Back-ups are decent—twice a week for the first two tiers, and 6x a day every week for the third tier. As is common with other providers, you can add a dedicated IP for an extra $2 a month, and you get access to an app store that has a good amount of free apps.
Ang nag-unang problema nga naa nako sa mga bahin mao ang ikatulo nga tier limitado sa 50GB nga puro nga wanang sa disk nga SSD. Kini usa ka maayo nga kantidad, apan alang sa usa ka ikatulo nga tier, gihunahuna ko nga mahimo pa kini nga mas taas.
Tanan sa tanan, kinahanglan nako isulti gipaambit nga hosting tan-awon nga lig-on sa mga termino sa mga bahin niini. Kumusta ang tanan?
Maayo usab ang presyo sa pag-host sa WordPress. Tinuod, ang binulan nga presyo mas taas kaysa sa tinuig nga presyo, apan bisan pa, sigurado kini o sa ubos sa presyo sa merkado alang sa pag-host sa WordPress.
Namecheap’s WordPress hosting runs on Namecheap’s cloud, and supposedly this makes it much faster than using WordPress on a normal shared hosting account. Aside from that, it doesn’t look feature-laden but has decent enough pricing that it’s fair.
Morag managsama ang hitsura reseller hosting.
Ang mga presyo medyo ubos pa, ug kung nahibal-an nimo kung unsa ang imong gibuhat, dali ka makahimo og usa ka hapsay nga ganansya. Naghunahuna ko kung ang una nga tier mahimong mogamit sa pipila pa nga espasyo sa disk, apan kini okay.
Pag-host sa VPS medyo barato ra, apan gamay ra sa "normal" nga range.
Ang mga kapanguhaan nga gigahin sa Plano sa VPS dili daotan, apan adunay ubang mga tighatag nga adunay mas taas nga kalidad nga mga kapilian sa VPS alang sa parehas nga mga presyo, o labing menos nga mga presyo nga dili labi ka labi ka mahal.
Last apan dili labing gagmay, gipahinungod nga server mga kapilian sa Namecheap are alright. You can choose from clearance (lower end) servers, or “new” servers (guess what that means).
Ang mga server sa clearance katingalahan nga makaya. Oo, bisan alang sa mga produkto nga gikategorya nga mga "clearance" server. Naa ka’y 32 kapilian nga adunay desente nga espesipikasyon.
Ang mga labi ka labi ka labi ka labi nga labi ka labi nga labi ka labi ka mahal, ug adunay tulo ra nga kapilian nga kapilian. Kini adunay labi ka labi ka labi nga mga pagtukoy kaysa sa mga clearance server.
Dili maayong pagkasulti, Namecheap’s hosting is definitely worth checking out for its lower-end options: gipaambit nga hosting ug pag-host sa WordPress.
Kung nagkahiusa ka o nag-host sa WordPress mahimo ka kasagaran magdahum nga mas mubu nga kalidad nga pagtandi kung itandi sa VPS o gipahinungod nga pag-host, ug kung kini naa sa imong hunahuna samtang gipangita nimo ang mga kapilian, NameCheap mahimong sulayan.
Although shared hosting is by far Namecheapni pinakamaayo nga deal, with great set of features and resources allocated for low prices, its other options aren’t bad. But that’s about it: not bad. Namecheap’s WordPress hosting is low enough priced that I think it’s worth a try for individuals looking for saving.
If you’re a business, however, I would be a little more skeptical. If you’re a small business sticking to one site, and if you’re not anticipating a huge amount of traffic, then Namecheap’s shared or even WordPress plans could be a pretty good option.
If you anticipate a lot of traffic and want higher quality service, Namecheap won’t be bad but might not warrant its price. Sure, it’s cheap, but at this point, you’d be willing to invest in higher quality. Other hosting companies offer better specifications and even lower limits on resource allocations, for prices that are admittedly higher but not at all undeserved.
Sa tanan, Namecheap’s hosting is a hidden gem for individuals or small businesses who only need a site or two. If you’re looking for anything higher end, Namecheap’s hosting may not be great. As far as domains go, Namecheap sigurado usa ka maayo nga kapilian.
NameCheap: Kasayon sa Paggamit
Ang kadali sa paggamit hinungdanon alang sa pag-host ug pagdumala sa domain, apan sa lainlaing paagi.
The basics of managing a domain are taken care of by your registrar most of the time, so if you just want to secure a name for your site, there isn’t a whole lot you need to do. You basically need to adjust your settings/preferences as needed, make sure everything’s linked to your site, and then you’re ready to go.
If you’re buying in bulk or trading domains, even that’s pretty straightforward with a registrar, as they have tools just to make those jobs easier.
Namecheap does very well on the domain front. The user interface is super simple: you basically get a dashboard and a few other pages on a sidebar that let you easily manage your domains and your Namecheap account.
* Mubo nga sulat: Pasensya sa censor! Kini usa ka top-secret nga proyekto nga dili pa ako andam nga ipakita sa kalibutan… bisan pa!
Bisan pa, ang kadali sa paggamit usa ka gamay nga hinungdanon alang sa pag-host sa akong opinyon. Oo, ang pag-host susama sa pagparehistro sa domain sa hinungdan nga gipangita nimo ang tama nga alokasyon sa mga kapanguhaan alang sa husto nga presyo, ug unya mahimo nimo itugot ang imong host nga buhaton ang trabaho alang kanimo.
Bisan pa, ang pag-host usa ka labi ka labi ka komplikado tungod sa tanan nga mga lainlaing mga butang nga nahilambigit: mahimo ka nga mogamit sa usa ka tigtukod sa site o nakig-uban sa WordPress, o mahimo nimo pagdumala ang mga sertipiko sa SSL o mga email account o bisan unsang gidaghanon sa ubang mga butang. Dugang pa, adunay daghang daghang mga butang aron madumala ang pag-host sa imong website.
Mao nga susama, apan lahi nga hayop. Suwerte Namecheap makes it as easy to manage your hosting as the best of them. Namecheap’s user interface for hosting is very similar to its domain management user interface (pictured above).
Here’s another thing that’s both good and bad: Namecheap naghimo niini kaayo dali nga magkonektar your domain with hosting, if you want to use Namecheap for both. Why is this bad? Because it means some upselling that can get annoying, though it’s not too much.
On the bright side, if you want to couple your host and domain, it’ll be a breeze with Namecheap. Once you actually begin to use Namecheap’s web hosting service, I’d say it’s pretty straightforward.
Like its domain registrar, Namecheap is intuitive to use and has an easy user interface. The included cPanel will simplify everything and Namecheap’s skins will ensure the experience stays smooth.
Dugang pa, Namecheapang gipaambit nga host packages come with a website builder included. This is pretty normal, but Namecheap’s site builder is particularly intuitive and efficient.
Usa ka butang nga gusto nako Namecheap is its relative transparency. True, Namecheap isn’t placing a huge banner on its landing page that says “YOUR HOSTING PACKAGE WILL RENEW AT X PAGBALIK! ”
Bisan pa kini usa ka kompanya nga nagpadayon sa mga butang nga kasagaran diretso alang sa gumagamit. Tinuod kini alang sa proseso sa pagparehistro sa domain ug sa proseso sa pagdumala sa post-registration. Tinuod usab kini alang sa pag-host: dali ra kaayo nga susihon ang mga setting sa imong account ug usbon kini kung gikinahanglan.
Sa pagtapos: Namecheap’s domain registration is about as easy as can be—only Google Domains is any simpler—and its hosting is about as easy to use as Namecheap’s main competitors.
NameCheap: Suporta sa Kustomer
Dili mahimo, ang usa dili kanunay magsalig sa usa ka produkto nga dali gamiton. Usahay ang mga kalisud sa teknikal nga us aka us aka, o us aka dali nga magamit ang software apan kinahanglan nimo mahibal-an kung giunsa buhaton ang usa ka butang nga dili kasagaran, paghimo usa ka pagbag-o sa imong account, etc.
Customer support is therefore essential—does Namecheap’s affordability come at the cost of good customer support? Let’s see.
Note: keep in mind that Namecheap’s customer support resources are shared between the domain and the hosting side.
Una, adunay pipila ka mga kapilian alang sa direkta nga pagkontak sa mga representante. Mahimo nimo kini pinaagi sa usa ka tiket o live chat — walay suporta sa telepono karon, sa walay palad. Bisan pa, ang pag-klik ug live chat nahimo na kaayo alang sa akong miagi. Ania ang usa ka panig-ingnan…
Milungtad ang usa ka minuto alang sa usa ka representante nga makaabut kanako, nga dili daotan.
Unsa is Makasubo, bisan pa, ang representante mikuha og usa pa ka minuto ug tunga aron makabalik kanako nga adunay tubag.
This is a pretty good example of my experience with Namecheap’s customer support on live chat. Some of my experiences have been faster than this, but not many have been slower. In any case, compared to the best live chats, this is a little slow, but all things considered, I got my answer in the space of fewer than 4 minutes. So I’d say it’s still a fine live chat.
Gawas sa pagkontak sa mga representante, mahimo nimong ibilin ang feedback, ug mabasa ang mga update sa kahimtang ug balita.
I dislike how Namecheap’s on-site support and the information is organized: things are too separated. Namecheapni nag-unang panid sa suporta adunay mga butones alang sa pagkontak sa mga representante ug adunay usab pipila nga mga tanyag nga artikulo ug FAQ. Adunay usab usa ka search bar alang sa base nga kahibalo.
Kung dili, mahimo ka direkta nga moadto ang base sa kahibalo, usa ka bulag nga panid, ug pangitaa ang mga artikulo (o pagpangita) gikan didto.
Ganahan ko Namecheap’s knowledge base. It’s well-organized, has plenty of content, and is pleasing to the eye.
Namecheap usab usa ka sentro nga kapanguhaan, basically comprised of less technical support for the practical uses of Namecheap’s technology—stuff anyone can find useful, like how to build a website, good SEO practices, and so on.
Resource centers like this are common, but it’s nice to see Namecheap keeping up.
samtang Namecheap’s customer support isn’t incredibly buffed out, it is still plenty strong. The customer representatives seem to be responsive and helpful in my experience, plus the on-site information and resources are accessible and useful. Namecheap’s support may not be encyclopedic, but it absolutely has more than the barebones.
Seguridad ug pagkakasaligan
Security is essential for both domain registration and hosting. Does Namecheap handle security well on both fronts?
Yes! Well, …it’s decent. I wish there was more information available on Namecheap’s site, but its sheer popularity implies Namecheap can at least be trusted with your domain registration.
The problem arises more for hosting: we don’t know how popular Namecheap’s hosting is, and because Namecheap is a domain registrar first and a host second, it’s unclear how much of its resources get diverted to hosting security and reliability.
Sa tinuud, Namecheap does have some decent security standards company-wide, plus has decent security tools/features for users.
Pananglitan, mahimo ka mogamit sa duha nga hinungdan nga panghimatuud (2FA) alang sa imong account ug cPanel, dugang nga nakuha nimo Mga sertipiko sa SSL for free with some hosting packages (for the first year). On top of that, you get Domain Lock security and free WhoisGuard for a year with every domain registration. You can upgrade for special Namecheap security or you can purchase the Namecheap vpn.
Namecheap also employs DDoS protection for all its servers and has staff available to attend to servers in the event of a DDoS attack. Namecheap also uses the latest servers, has good RAID protection for the servers, regularly tests their servers, and has full redundancy “at all levels” within their network.
That all sounds excellent, but even great security doesn’t mean you’re bound to see perfect website uptime. How does Namecheap perform there?

Mahimo nimong susihon ang detalyado nga iskor sa oras dinhi.
As you can see, the uptime is decent, but far from perfect. Namecheap promises 100% uptime, but this is actually a nuanced promise: Namecheap nagsaad mga server adunay usa ka 100% uptime, dili sa imong site. Ayaw pamakak.
Although the response times have overall been good, the uptime scores make me hesitant to recommend to a business that is really counting on an always-up website.
Nonetheless, at Namecheap prices, it’s not a terrible sell. It’s unfortunate that the industry standard of 100% site uptime isn’t met, but understandable. If you are still interested in Namecheap, consider yourself warned about the uptime!
Ang mubu nga bersyon mao kini: Namecheap adunay maayong seguridad and you can probably trust it with your information. The problem will be more with uptime and reliability, for those interesting in using Namecheap as a host. As a domain registrar, Namecheap is about as reliable as you can get.
Gisugyot ko ba Namecheap?
All things considered, how is Namecheap?
Isip usa ka registrar, Namecheap tin-aw nga angayan sa lugar niini ingon usa sa mga top dogs. Adunay kini maayo nga mga presyo, usa ka dali nga interface alang sa pagdumala sa mga domain, ug adunay maayo nga deal sa tanan nga mga linya sa mga mamalitay sa single-domain aron mapalit ang daghang mga pumapalit.
As a host, Namecheap is considerably more complicated. On one hand, Namecheap is very affordable for lower-end hosting products, the mipakigbahin o mga pakete nga nag-host sa WordPress.
Kini nga mga pakete adunay kaayo nga mga presyo ug desente nga mga alokasyon sa kapanguhaan. Maayo kaayo sila nga mga deal alang sa mga andam nga peligro ang pipila ka potensyal nga iffy uptime.
Ang mga taas nga mga tumoy sa taas nga tan-awon maayo sa papel, apan ibilin nako kini sa usa ka kompanya nga labi ka espesyal nga nagdumala sa pag-host.
Namecheap seems great, but our mga sukod sa oras have been a light Achilles heel. Particularly if you have ecommerce needs, Namecheap might be a bit risky.
If having top-tier site uptime is less important to you—typically you’d be a hobbyist or perhaps a business that wants a site but does not find a site essential to the business—then Namecheap could still be a decent kapilian kana makatipig salapi.
In short, my conclusion is that Namecheap is a risky option for those with intense hosting needs, and a steal for those who don’t. As a registrar, it’s mostly great all around. But if you’re still unsure, just try it risk-free for 30 days!
