Why choose Namecheap?

The Stellar range combines website hosting, cPanel and included email. Standard monthly variants make it practical to start a project with a shorter billing commitment. Stellar provides three websites and 20 GB, giving a business site, blog and an additional project a place in one account. This is a useful choice when monthly flexibility matters to your plans.

Choose your package

Choose Stellar for up to three websites and 20 GB. We recommend Stellar Plus for more sites and daily AutoBackup, with unmetered storage subject to the service rules. Stellar Business provides 50 GB and daily backups. EasyWP is a separate managed WordPress range, while Spark and Pulsar offer self-managed VPS configurations.

Choosing Namecheap for New Zealand

For your New Zealand website, put standard monthly billing in the stellar range beside the work you need the hosting to cover. Choose the Namecheap package around the confirmed allowances and the person maintaining your site. Keep any existing domain and email services visible in the brief when planning a move.

This edition displays NZD by default. The selected Namecheap offers use USD as their source currency. Read the complete initial payment, period and renewal in the price details. A reference conversion does not change the currency charged by the provider.
