A GoDaddy alternative
without the games.
If you are shopping for a GoDaddy alternative, here is what actually matters in a registrar and host, and how NameMarshal measures up. Domains from $12/yr, hosting from $4.99/mo, flat on renewal.
What matters in a GoDaddy alternative.
The frustrations that send people looking for an alternative are usually about price and pressure, not features. Here is the checklist worth using, and where we stand on each.
- A renewal price that does not jump. The number you sign up at should be the number you pay next year. Ours is. No first-year teaser rates.
- WHOIS privacy included, not sold back to you. Privacy protection is free on every domain we register, for as long as you own it.
- SSL included. Free auto-renewing SSL on every site you host with us, not a line item at checkout.
- A checkout without upsells. No cart full of pre-ticked add-ons. You buy what you came for.
- Easy transfers in and out. Your domain is yours. Transferring to us, or away later, is straightforward. No lock-in games.
- Real support. People who understand DNS, email and servers, not a script pushing the next product.
