During Black Friday, I managed to get 2 Namecheap virtual hosting coupons and bought a virtual host for less than $1/year. The cost-effectiveness is unbeatable. Even during regular times, the lowest package is only $9.88/year, and the configuration is also good. With such high cost-effectiveness, I can't help but ask, "Who else?"

Lowest Configuration

• 20GB SSD Storage
• Unlimited Bandwidth
• Can bind 3 domains
• $9.88 for the first year

Powerful Cpanel Panel

The Cpanel panel is widely used by most hosting providers and is possibly the most feature-rich hosting panel available. After successfully setting up the host, the host information will be sent to your email, including the host IP and Cpanel account information, as shown in the screenshot below.

Cpanel supports multiple languages, with English being the default interface. After logging in, you can change it to Chinese in the management center for easier operation. If you have used Cpanel before, you should already be familiar with its powerful features. If you haven't used it before, now is a good time to get acquainted with its capabilities.

Network Condition

At the time of activation, xiaoz only had the option to choose a US data center. From IP lookup and route tracing, it appears to be located in the eastern United States. Some people online have mentioned that it is located in the western United States, so it might just be my luck.

Ping tests from Sichuan Telecom have a latency of around 300ms, and Super Ping has a latency of 200ms+. This is relatively high, as shown in the screenshots below.

Conclusion

Namecheap virtual hosting has a very cheap first-year price, but the renewal cost for the second year is a bit expensive, and the speed for accessing from China is not ideal. It is suitable for beginners to practice or for use in foreign trade websites and data backup. Additionally, Laoxue Hosting also uses the Cpanel panel.
