Reviewed 2026-07-27; pricing verified at source.
This review evaluates Namecheap as a low-cost shared-hosting choice, with attention to the commitment behind the opening price and the limits of the entry plan.
Verdict
Stellar costs $1.91 per month on the yearly offer, or $22.92 for the first year, and renews at $55.88 per year. It is a sensible entry choice when the first-year saving matters and the renewal amount already fits the budget.
Starting at $1.88/mo on the two-year term.
Best for
Stellar includes 3 websites, 20 GB of SSD storage, and 30 mailboxes. That mix fits a buyer running a small set of straightforward sites who would rather keep the first-year bill low than pay for unused capacity.
Skip it if
Stellar backups run twice a week. Avoid this plan if your recovery policy requires the host to create backups every day.

What the pricing structure tells you
The yearly Stellar offer is $1.91 per month, billed as $22.92 for the first year, and renews at $55.88 per year. Budget against the renewal figure before treating the opening rate as affordable.
On the monthly term, Stellar is $5.88 per month after the 30-day free trial; on the two-year term, it is $1.88 per month. The annual term is the practical middle ground when a longer commitment is not worth the small rate difference.
Where the fit changes
Stellar supports 3 websites and provides backups twice a week. The entry plan stops being a comfortable fit when either site count or recovery frequency is a firm operating requirement.
