Hidden costs

  • Renewal prices are substantially higher than first-term promo prices across all Shared Hosting tiers (e.g. Stellar renews at ~$3.88/mo vs ~$1.98-2.28/mo intro; Stellar Plus renews at ~$6.88/mo; Stellar Business renews at ~$10.88/mo)
  • Shared hosting pricing increased for renewals starting May 2026 per Namecheap KB article 10780
  • VPS plans are unmanaged (User-Responsible) by default; Basic management adds ~$10/mo and Complete management adds ~$25/mo on top of base VPS price
  • Dedicated servers are semi-custom/build-your-own so headline starting price may not include desired RAM/storage/RAID configuration
  • Free SSL, domain, and migration offers are typically first-year-only promotional inclusions
