Namecheap.com

Namecheap is an ICANN-accredited domain name registrar and web hosting company founded in 2000 by Richard Kirkendall and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, providing domain registration, web hosting, SSL certificates, managed WordPress hosting, and related internet infrastructure services to individual and business customers globally. The company manages over 17 million domain names for more than 2 million customers worldwide, making it one of the largest domain registrars in the world and a recognized leader in affordable, customer-focused internet services. Namecheap has been a vocal advocate for internet freedom, having donated over $300,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation and other organizations supporting net neutrality and digital rights. In August 2023, the company launched Spaceship.com as a new domain registration and web hosting platform. Namecheap's inclusion in this database likely reflects an inadvertent entry, as it is a domain and hosting services company rather than an investment firm.
