Namecheap
Namecheap is a U.S. based domain name registrar and web hosting service company headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. It was founded in 2000 by Richard Kirkendall. The company provides domain name registration, web hosting, SSL certificates, content delivery network services, email hosting, privacy protection, and other internet-related services.
In September 2025, CVC Capital Partners acquired a majority stake in Namecheap for an undisclosed amount, valuing the company at $1.5 billion.
The company provides domain registration, transfers, and renewals. It also provides web hosting services, including shared hosting, VPS hosting, and dedicated servers. As of 2022, Namecheap managed over 10 million domains and had nearly 11 million customers.
In April 2013, the New Yorker reported that Namecheap had begun accepting Bitcoin as a payment method.
In August 2023, Namecheap launched Spaceship.com, a domain registration and web hosting platform.
In July 2019, Namecheap was one of the organizations that filed a reconsideration request to ICANN, asking for a review of the decision to remove price ceilings on .org and .info TLDs. The Independent Review Process panel concluded that in December 2022, ICANN had broken its own bylaws and made recommendations that included restoring the price caps.
Namecheap went on to file a lawsuit in January 2024, claiming that ICANN “largely ignored” the majority of its recommendations. In October of that year, the Superior Court in Los Angeles ruled that the case could move forward, denying ICANN’s request to dismiss.
In April 2025, Namecheap filed a motion asking the courts to force ICANN to negotiate with registries over price controls. In August of the same year, the court ruled against the request and denied the motion.
