Namecheap Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Namecheap is a web hosting provider and domain name registrar with ICANN accreditation. Richard Kirkendall established the business in 2000, and it has since expanded to become one of the biggest independent domain registrars in the world with more than 10 million clients and more than 77 million domains under administration.

In addition to domain registration, transfer, and renewal services, Namecheap also provides domain privacy protection and other value-added services. Moreover, Namecheap provides shared hosting, VPS hosting, and dedicated servers as web hosting options.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Fight for the Future are two non-profits and causes that Namecheap supports.

Since March 2013, Namecheap has accepted Bitcoin as a form of payment.
