The smallest one on shared hosting.
Dont remember these fucking stupid plans name i think it was stellar
The other one also reviewed namecheap that they started charging more for the plans that they had renewed for this is true happened with me as well.
Initially they charged me close to 4$( i guess it was 3.88$) for my hosting which was ok which i supposed to agreed at.
After some long time they started charging me close to 7$ per month ( thinking they got a permanent customer) and i paid 7$ per month for 1 year than I thought it is high then i contacted them i warned them to switch webhost and they again pulled my hosting to same charge 4$ per month.
It is truth of namecheap. Shit.
I have no any personal enmity with namecheap but guys share and spread these all reviews and destroy namecheap who think they can take advantage of customer in every way

I understand, but for us to give you a decent suggestion on what vps you may need, you would need to let us know your perferances or we will just be blindly throwing reputable vps providers that may not be suitable to you..

I've been asking them the same question for hours now, non of their support are giving me a valid response, I wouldn't like it when I moved my site to namecheap and I'll still be experiencing downtime due to massive traffic.

their stellar hosting plan can not handle 2000 visitors a day? And this thing costs $92 / year?
How you can check with cpanel tools if you abusing their resources?
Is their supersonic cdn worth, to avoid this scenario and make the overall performance better?
Does their cdn change my origin ip which is dedicated?
What's happen today, to handle
2-5000 visitors a day you need an expensive hosting around $20 month or more or you be forced to use an vps/ managed vps?
One of my domains are with mddhosting $14 month, they are superior, I hope they can handle 2-5000. visitors a day ..
When not, the overall webhosting landscape is shifting their plans and force you buy more expensive hosting at $30 month or more to handle these
2-5000 visitors a day or what?
WTF?

But they have vps and dedicated Hosting +managed dedicated server with good resources and fair prices when you get more traffic and need more power. When I read cybernews reviews their share dhosting plans cheap and stellar, can handle mx. 40 users at same time which will be around 20-30.000 visitors a month, something like 1500 visitors a day...
Godaddy is can handle much lower than this but who on hell buys gofuckdaddy hosting? Yes they have plus hosting plans and managed servers but they are expensive.
I think when you have 4-7000 visitors a day you need dedicated hosting or vps.... traffic beyond that = dedicated server.
I bought an positive ssl from them since the last four days website works has ssl, load fast, but in my dashboard the ssl is showing in pending status ???
They have a weird confusing dashboard.

No idea, dont buy CDNs from namecheap, there are much better places to get them from, and most likely at a cheaper rate too
Concurrent visitors is very different than just handling visitors per month....
If you have high concurrent visitors on, you should be focusing on the tech side of your webhosting and optimizing it when to scale up to higher resource usage at those certain times of the day, then scaling it back down when the traffic is low.
lol
I think you need to explore web hosting in it's entirety a bit more.
a the $20 droplet from Digital Oceans was handling over 200 concurrent users for me last time i stress tested in 2021 and i read somewhere they upgraded their tech too.
WPX's is shared hosting, and they are able to handle huge amounts of concurrent users at once too.
It isn't that shared hosting can't do it,
Most of the hosting providers, overload the servers and having xxxxxx amounts of people using the same resource which gets clogged down and that's where the slowiness and db crashes happen.
Lastly, web hosting is the last thing you should be cheaping out on. That is the bread and butter of your site. If that goes down, your entire site, no matter how good or fancy it is, is down too.

thank you xReminisce for you statement it makes it more clear to me.
That is the problem you not know when you buy hosting if the provider is doing overload clogging mass of people to one single shared server.
Only with doing web research on reviews you can find out ...
I see namecheap yes be aware with them, has dedicated managed servers and managed vps for fair price, when you get this amount of traffic spike.
But their dashboard is really weird, I have two old domain son it can't delete them. My ssl cert positive ssl I bought from them, website is working with ssl fine, but in my dashboard the ssl status is on pending ??? This makes the dashboard confusing when you have multiple old items but you can't remove them.
What I not like, yesterday 1 day after my upgrade to annual billing I got email from them that the price of dedicated ip has changed from $2 month to $4 month. Now next month I get new invoice of $20 for 1 year dedicated ip- 1 day after the hosting plan upgrade this I be sure was not an coincidence.
And as I changed my plan to annual billing, I had two hosting items in my dashboard (little bit hidden) same hosting plan, ($6 month) one item with $21,30 for one month (!) and the other actual item with the new annual plan.
Live chat support checked it and I was able to remove this item with $21,30 for one month hosting.
I wonder what they are doing, try to little bit shady here and there sometimes? Yes sometimes they can drive your nerves...
Does Digital Ocean till today has problems with email, also does blocking emails when doing marketing (listbuilding) ?
Happy weekend !

Honestly, Namecheap is a Domain provider at it's core and not a web hosting provider. It's providing web hosting cuz its convenient and people like convenience.
Hence, they can make money out of it, even if they charge a bit more $$ for a little bit of oomph.
people should avoid and away from using them unless it's for their very first start up projects or just getting into IM really.
Newcomers don't know any better in the web hosting industry.
Even more true to this day when people will just think, ok I just need to pay a bit more, and then all my hosting trouble will magically disappear away.
They will bank on that mentality, hence the predatory pricing of alot of hosting providers.
Giving them just a tiny bit as a starter and a crapton of $$$ as the ultimate package. Where as the difference between bottom to top tier is the throttling or the % of access to the shared resources on your account is lifted or removed.
This is why people favor cloud and VPS hosting alot more, because they have control on the resources allocated to you and they can use them as they please.
When you compare yourself to other trash in the industry, obviously your product would only look shiny.
But if you take a better look on it, that gold medal is actually spray painted and only appears to be gold from afar.

So true, heck even my Swedish main shared hosting account has access to 16GB memory, 8 Cores and 100GB of fast storage for $15 a month only, kicking those guys in the ass. And that is just shared hosting done right.

Depends on what product you are using. Our official site is right now hosted on namecheap vps. Works absolutely fine (but I admit the initial response time could be better. It was much faster with vercel, but then vercel is costly and you can’t host everything with them, e.g. like a custom backend.). But I bet it won’t be fine if
1) you are using shared hosting.
2) you are using vps, but you don’t know how to set it up properly, as well as how to maintain it.

I be ok with them but yes, they are little bit tricky.
I have a paid positive ssl 1 year expires in May 2024.
replace my domain with a new one then I see a banner in my cpanel it comes with new positive ssl one yera for free.
Ok installed new domain with ssl.
In my dashboard the positive ssl who expires on May ssl exist along in my dashboard I must nor forget to cancel the ssl cert if not I pay in 2024 again for an ssl I can not use...
Yes they are a bit tricky namecheap, old things you remove sitting all in your dashboard so long as you cancelled them.
When you cancelled an item it stays in the dashboard too, it makes the whole dashboard looking confusing.

3000GB Bandwith = 3TB ?
I would say namecheap looks good here 3Tb traffic is a lot I think ythis can handle 100.000-200,000 visitors in month without get down.
Yes they are little bit tricky today when you not take care of your NC dashboard with all the items, cancelled or not...
Today I installed a new domain on my hosting plan replace the old with positive ssl. Add the new domain and whamm, namecheap installs automatically a new positive ssl cert for you (1 year free) so not forget to cancel the previous ssl cert.
More and more companies doing shady tricks today, it becomes feudalism...some of that...I hope not.
Yes NC not doing it so extreme like gofuckyourselfdaddy...
