Namecheap is highly recommended here on HN by many for domain names. What about hosting ? They have a few hosting plans and I was wondering if anyone hosts with them ?


view as:

Yes, I just recently switched to their Business Expert (or something like that) shared hosting plan. It's been fine, except for a few nitpicks and the fact their support staff has been sloppy at times (I social engineered my way into a password-protected page, thanks to them). I switched over from Lunarpages, so anything seems great by comparison.

I have stuff with them, Rackspace, and Heroku depending on the task. Usually they get the lowest trafficked, most static websites.

I feel like their support staff could use a boost, but they're OK otherwise.

If you aren't getting a lot of traffic, I'd also recommend https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ Which has been nothing but wonderful to me for very low traffic sites.


I founde & run the hosting division at Namecheap; happy to address any questions from the HN community
