# Spaceship

> Namecheap's newer consumer brand, aggressive intro pricing, modern dashboard.

- Namecheap's second brand, built from scratch with a cleaner dashboard.
- Bundled extras like free WHOIS privacy and mailbox trials.
- Intro .com pricing is among the lowest here; the renewal is not, the same model as the parent.
- Newer, so less history behind its support and account-recovery processes.
