Start with the essentials
A good name deserves a clear decision.
Privacy on eligible domains

Connect it to your website
Namecheap offers BasicDNS and DNSSEC for eligible domains. DNS features depend on the DNS service you use.
From idea to registration
Think beyond the first year.
01
Choose a practical name
Keep it easy to say, spell and remember. Compare a few alternatives and avoid confusing similarities to existing brands.
02
Check the complete cost
Compare first-year registration, renewal charges, applicable fees and any add-ons. An introductory offer does not set the long-term price.
03
Know what you are buying
A domain is an address. Website hosting, business email and other services may be separate purchases.

Check names on Namecheap ↗Before you decide
A few useful answers.
Does buying a domain create my website?
No. A domain provides an address. You still need a website and a suitable hosting service; the registrar can point the domain to your chosen host.
Can I use the domain with a different hosting provider?
A domain can generally connect to a different host through the required DNS records or nameservers. Follow the instructions for the registrar and your chosen hosting service.
Is the first-year price also the renewal price?
Not necessarily. Introductory registrations and renewals can have different prices. Review both, plus applicable fees, before paying.
Is the new-customer .com promotion available to everyone?
Namecheap’s researched .com listing restricts its new-customer promotion to first-year registrations and one domain per user or household. Premium names are excluded. Confirm the current promotion and any code requirements on Namecheap.
Can I search domain availability here?
No. The name ideas on this page are illustrative only. Use the affiliate button to check actual availability and pricing on Namecheap.
