Where it wins

Good bulk and aftermarket tools
Frequent coupons
Fair mainstream renewals

Where it costs you

Exotic TLD renewals can spike
Interface is busy

Spaceship

Namecheap's younger sibling runs the most aggressive first-year promos in the market while keeping renewals reasonable. Modern stack, clean checkout, prices move often.

Where it wins

Deepest first-year promos
Modern dashboard and API
