Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is a TLD?

    A Top-level Domain (TLD) is the part of a domain name to the right of the dot (e.g., the "com" in example.com). TLDs are part of the text-based interface assigned to numerical IP addresses that allows humans to more easily navigate the web without having to memorize long strings of numbers. Learn more about the history and function of Top-level Domains.

  2. What TLD types exist?

    There are currently two types of TLDs. Generic domain names (gTLDs) and Country code domains names (ccTLDs). gTLDs are the largest group of domains and account for most of the newly available domains, whereas ccTLDs are generally assigned to specific geographic locations (for example, .uk, .de, and .ca). Check out our full list of available tlds.

  3. What is an IDN domain and do you support it?

    Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) enable people around the world to use domain names in local languages and scripts. These domains are encoded to the Unicode standard and used as allowed by relevant IDN protocols. Namecheap supports certain IDN domains. View the full list of IDNs we support.

  4. Why do I need Whois privacy?

    Anyone registering a domain is required by ICANN to create a public record of domain ownership in the Whois Search Directory. This means that hackers and spammers can access the phone numbers and addresses of any domain registrant. WhoisGuard replaces your personal information with that of your official domain registry, legally masking your personal data from public view. Read more about Whois privacy.

  5. How do I renew a domain?

    The domain renewal process is easy can be completed by following these 4 steps.
