How major?
It manages over 10 MILLION domains. That makes Namecheap one of the biggest registrars and hosting providers in the world.
Namecheap’s brand is one of ease of use–for registering domains, managing them, managing hosting, etc–and of affordability. And you know what?
It’s pretty well-rooted in reality. Namecheap IS affordable and it IS easy to use.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best for you, and it’s far from perfect. So in this article, I’ll give a run-down of the best Namecheap alternatives for both domain registration AND hosting.
Jẹ ká bẹrẹ pẹlu:
Namecheap is first and foremost associated with domain registration—after all, it’s in the company’s name—and there’s no denying that it’s one of the best domain name registrars around.
Like I said though, that doesn’t mean it’s perfect or optimal for you. Here are some great alternatives:
Its main advantages over Namecheap can be summarized as providing similarly good prices—in some cases, even better prices—but with some other, more advanced, perks as well.
The gist here is that Epik is best for those with more advanced domain interests, particularly those who prioritize security. However, it’s not too pricey or advanced for those with more basic domain goals either.
Awọn ohun ti o nifẹ? My in-depth review of Epik covers even more details. For now, here are the highlights:
Domain.com is slightly pricier than Namecheap for the most common domain extensions, but it’s not a big difference. However, it’s better for ease of use and offers a couple services that are pretty handy.
Like I said, there’s no doubt that Namecheap offers pretty affordable hosting. And when Namecheap bundles its hosting with its domains, the prices look better than almost anything else out there.
But price isn’t everything, especially when it comes to hosting. So what are the options that outcompete Namecheap’s low prices? Let’s check them out below.
(And if you need a more detailed analysis of Namecheap’s hosting, you can check out our in-depth review of it).
Bluehost is one of the biggest web hosting companies around. It was founded in 2003 and powers over 2 million websites.
Bluehost is generally a bit pricier than Namecheap for most hosting plans, but the tradeoff is warranted:
The company just offers a more advanced set of web hosting options and better hosting features. Plus, it’s one of the easiest hosting options around, and performs well (check out my full Bluehost awotẹlẹ for more on that).
It’s pricier than Namecheap hosting, but offers a lot more advanced hosting in exchange. Plus, it’s a high performer–you can check out my GreenGeeks review for full details on that.
It offers a range of hosting services, including forms of hosting that are better geared for those with advanced needs. It also offers just one shared hosting plan instead of the usual 2-4. But that single hosting plan has great value.
All of this makes it one of the best alternatives to Namecheap.
That’s when the provider’s staff manage just about everything to-do with hosting. You can still control things about your site’s hosting, but a lot more of your time and energy is freed up to work on the site itself, or other parts of your business.
In fairness, Namecheap is a bit better in the way of resources per price, at least on shared web hosting.
But that’s because managed hosting always costs more, and BigScoots has some of the most affordable managed hosting around. You can check out mi alaye awotẹlẹ fun bawo BigScoots measures up in general.
In this context, it’s like Bluehost or GreenGeeks in that it primarily offers a wider and more robust array of hosting options than Namecheap.
ati having fully tested it, Dreamhost is also a good performer with good features.
Liquid Web also tends to offer more advanced features or technical specs. It’s basically enterprise-grade quality, but for small to mid-sized businesses. That’s why it’s arguably the best managed hosting provider around.
So with all of that info out there, what’re the best alternatives to Namecheap? As in, the best of the best?
For domain registration, Epik is the best alternative. That’s because its prices are similar to Namecheap and other big registrars, but it’s got better security and more advanced functions for those with similarly advanced needs.
For hosting, it depends on what you want the most. If you’re looking for simplicity and value pricing, but Namecheap is TOO simple, then Bluehost jẹ itẹtẹ ti o dara julọ.
Ti o ni nitori Bluehost not only has a similarly simple interface and similarly good pricing, it also has better features and storage.
If you want something that’s not too difficult to use but also is top of the line in quality, Liquid Web is probably best. It’s a bit pricier, but it’s well worth the managed services and high-end specs.
