NameCheap Summary Analysis by HRank
The average rating of NameCheap for 2018 with HRank is 4.5 (the 128th position); for 2019 – 6.3 HRank (the 96th position) – for such hosting provider is very low position.
One of the reasons for it being so was many cases of downtime (89.334% in August 2018, 92.453% in November 2018 and all December 2019). While the rest of the monitoring period was more or less within 99% range, these were serious cases for such a provider.
Its response time can neither be called stable, while it stayed in the range of 600ms – 900ms.
However, the company increased the number of websites from June to December 2018, and it looks like its not perfect performance didn’t stop new users from joining.
NameCheap is not on our recommendation list.
