PHOENIX, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Namecheap, the world’s second-largest domain registrar and leading provider of online products and services, today celebrates its 20th birthday. Founded by Richard Kirkendall in 2000, Namecheap started as a domain registrar and has evolved into a full-fledged technology company, now offering a robust lineup of products and services for online creators, businesses, bloggers, web developers and more. Today, Namecheap is well known as a trusted web hosting company, fierce online security advocate, and top domain name registrar with more than 11 million domains under management. Namecheap’s goal has been to make the Internet accessible and affordable for everyone. Two decades later the company continues that mission.

To commemorate its birthday…

Popular web hosting company Hostinger is currently holding a back-to-school sale with one particularly special element: a free domain name with any plan that lasts longer than 12 months. 

The obvious catch is that the domain name is leased to you for the first year only, after which you’ll need to extend the subscription (at a higher price) or give it up (and risk having to deal with a domain squatter).
