Namecheap Birthday Sale 2026: Up to 79% Off Domains

Namecheap’s 26th Birthday Sale: Up to 79% Off Domains and 15% Off Renewals

Most companies blow out candles and wait for presents. Namecheap is doing the opposite. To celebrate turning 26, it is “regifting” to its customers with up to 79% off domain registrations, up to 30% off domain transfers, and 15% off renewals for the products you already use.

The sale runs from October 6 to October 14, 2026 (11:59 PM ET), and it unfolds in two stages: the registration and transfer deals are live first, then the renewal discounts join them for the final two days, October 13 and 14. Here is everything on the table, with real prices, so you can decide what is worth grabbing.

The Namecheap birthday sale at a glance

• Domain registrations: .com for $10.98 and .co for $7.98 in the first year, with no limit on how many you can register.

Domain registrations: .com and .co for less

If you have been sitting on a name for a project, this is the nudge. Both deals apply to new, first-year registrations, and you can register as many as you like.

Every eligible registration also comes with free domain privacy, so your personal details stay out of public WHOIS records.

Domain transfers: move over and save up to 30%

Already own domains somewhere else? Moving them during the sale gets you the best transfer prices of the season. Enter the promo code BDAYTRANSFER26 at checkout and mix and match up to 100 domains.

Why transfer now instead of waiting for renewal?

It is tempting to wait until a domain is about to expire, but transferring earlier usually gives you more. Any time you have left with your current registrar carries over, and one year is added to your registration when the transfer completes. You also get free domain privacy and a transfer process designed for zero downtime.

What you need before you start

• The domain should be at least 60 days old (registered or previously transferred).
• It needs to be unlocked at your current registrar.
• Have your authorization (EPP) code ready. Your current registrar can provide it.

Come back October 13 for 15% off renewals

Here is the part for existing customers. On October 13 and 14, Namecheap takes 15% off renewals of the domains, hosting, email, PremiumDNS and SSL certificates you already use. It is a straightforward thank-you for sticking around, and a good moment to renew anything coming up in the next few months.

Because the renewal discount only lasts 48 hours, it is worth setting a reminder. The official sale page includes calendar links for Apple, Google, Yahoo and Outlook, so it takes about ten seconds.

Up to 23% off VPS Hosting

When a website outgrows shared hosting, a virtual private server is the usual next step. During the birthday sale, Namecheap’s five VPS plans are discounted by 11% to 23% on yearly billing, and every plan comes with full root access and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Not sure which size fits? Spark and Pulsar suit side projects and small sites, Quasar handles most business websites comfortably, and Magnetar and Hypernova are built for stores and apps with steady traffic. You can compare all VPS plans on Namecheap’s site.

Frequently asked questions

When does the Namecheap birthday sale end?

The domain registration and transfer offers run from October 6 until October 14, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET. The 15% renewal discounts are only available for the last two days, from 12:00 AM ET on October 13 through 11:59 PM ET on October 14.

How much is a .com domain during the sale?

A new .com registration is $10.98 for the first year, down from $14.98. Transferring a .com with the code BDAYTRANSFER26 costs $10.48.

Is there a limit on how many domains I can buy?

You can register an unlimited number of .com and .co domains. Transfers are capped at 100 domains for the entire promotion, and you can mix and match them however you like.

Which products get 15% off on October 13-14?

Renewals of domains, hosting, email, PremiumDNS and SSL certificates are included. The discount applies to products you already have in your account.

Is the free LLC offer available outside the US?

The offer is marked US only. According to Namecheap, people outside the US can still qualify as long as they are eligible to register a US LLC and complete the registration, but requirements such as a registered agent and tax identification numbers apply.

Do I pay anything for domain privacy?

No. Free domain privacy is included with every eligible registration and transfer, although a handful of extensions do not support it because of registry restrictions.

Is it worth celebrating with Namecheap?

If you have a domain idea waiting, a handful of names to move, or a renewal date creeping closer, this sale has something for you. Grab new registrations and transfers now, then return on October 13 for the 15% renewal discount.
