Your Website Needs
A Home & An Address

Think of it like a house. Your domain is your address — it’s how people find you (e.g., yourbusiness.com). Your hosting is the house itself — it’s where your website’s files, images, and data actually live. You need both to have a working website. The good news is that most hosting plans include a free domain for the first year.

It depends on your website’s needs. For most small businesses and personal sites, Shared Hosting (Stellar or Stellar Plus) is more than enough. If you’re running WordPress, the EasyWP plans are optimised specifically for it. VPS Hosting is for sites that need dedicated resources and more control. Dedicated Servers are for high-traffic businesses and enterprise applications. Not sure? Get in touch and I’ll recommend the best fit.

Yes. Domain transfers are straightforward. You’ll need your authorisation code (EPP code) from your current registrar, and the domain must be unlocked and at least 60 days old. Once you initiate the transfer, it typically completes within 5–7 days. You’ll also get a free one-year extension added to your domain’s expiry date. Start a transfer here.

An SSL certificate encrypts the data between your website and its visitors. It’s what puts the padlock icon and https:// in your browser’s address bar. You absolutely need one — without it, browsers will warn visitors that your site is “not secure,” which destroys trust and hurts your search rankings. The good news is that all Namecheap hosting plans include a free SSL certificate.

The physical location of your server affects how fast your website loads. If most of your visitors are in Europe, having your site hosted on an EU-based server means data travels a shorter distance, resulting in faster page loads. It also helps with GDPR compliance, as your data is stored within EU jurisdiction. On top of that, Namecheap’s EU datacentre runs on 100% renewable energy.

When you register a domain, your name, email, phone number, and address are added to a public database called WHOIS. Anyone can look this up. Domain privacy protection replaces your personal details with proxy information, keeping your identity safe from spammers, scammers, and data harvesters. With Namecheap, this is completely free for life — most other registrars charge extra for it.

Absolutely. You can upgrade at any time without losing your data or experiencing downtime. Many businesses start with Shared Hosting and move to VPS or Dedicated Servers as their traffic grows. Namecheap makes the migration process seamless, and their support team is available 24/7 to assist with the transition.

Namecheap offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on all shared hosting plans. If you’re not satisfied for any reason within the first 30 days, you can request a full refund — no questions asked. This makes it completely risk-free to try their service and see if it’s the right fit for your business.

The prices on this page reflect standard rates converted to Euros. However, Namecheap frequently runs promotions and seasonal discounts that can significantly reduce these prices. I always recommend checking their website directly for the latest deals — you might find an even better price than what’s listed here. Check current promotions.

Yes! If you book any of my web design packages, domain registration, hosting, SSL, and CDN setup are all included in the price for the first year. I handle everything so you don’t have to worry about the technical side. If you already have a domain or hosting elsewhere, I can help with the migration as well. View my web design packages.
