Sound Familiar?
Namecheap is an honest discounter — these are the places its budget tiers run out of room. If any of these hit home, it might be time to switch.
On Namecheap
With BearHost
Oversold Shared Hosting
Entry Stellar tiers feel slow once real traffic arrives — with no clear upgrade path short of VPS.
Dedicated resources
BearHost gives you a KVM VPS with dedicated cores and NVMe SSD from the entry tier.
Thin Entry VPS Specs
Namecheap's Spark VPS is 1 vCPU and 1 GB RAM — a monitoring node, not a production web server.
Right-sized from the start
The BearHost Cub is 1 vCPU / 2 GB / 20 GB NVMe, and it scales up cleanly to 4 vCPU / 8 GB.
Control Panels Cost Extra
cPanel on a Namecheap VPS is a paid add-on (from ~$17.88/mo) that can cost more than the server itself.
Managed cPanel available
BearHost offers a managed cPanel VPS tier — no surprise licence stacked on top of your plan.
No Phone, Chat Only
Support is 24/7 live chat and tickets — genuinely good, but there's no phone line on any plan, ever.
24/7 human support
BearHost is 24/7 human support on every plan — real people, not chatbot scripts.
Auto-Converting Free Trials
Shared hosting, email and more start as free trials that quietly convert to paid if you forget the date.
Flat, predictable billing
BearHost pricing is flat — the same in month 13 as month 1, with no trial-to-paid surprise.
Migrate It Yourself
Moving off Namecheap is mostly DIY: backups, databases, emails and DNS are down to you.
Free, done-for-you migration
BearHost migrates everything for you — hosting and domain — completely free.
