Moved the bakery's WordPress site and email here almost three years ago because the first year was so cheap. For a long time it was fine. cPanel is the normal one, installing WordPress took about ten minutes, and the chat agents were polite even if half the time they just sent me a knowledge base link. This year was rough. Renewal came in at more than double what I first paid. Then in August the whole thing was down for most of a day, site and mailboxes, and live chat was down too, so the only updates I could find were posts on X. Customer orders that came in by email didn't reach me until the next day. A couple of times around holidays the site also showed a resource limit page when traffic went up. Fine for a hobby site. If your business runs on email, put it somewhere else. I'm moving mine this month.

A score out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews, so a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product many people like.
Namecheap Hosting is praised by some for cheap, no-frills cPanel hosting with friendly support, but more customers report poor support, slowness and outages, including a datacenter outage that took many sites and mailboxes down for hours.

It's how well reviewed Namecheap Hosting is, out of 100.
