About OvenBound
Expertise · Integrity · Transparency
Our Story
OvenBound was founded by a small team of webmasters who have managed hundreds of Namecheap hosting accounts over the last decade. We found that while Namecheap is one of the best value hosts on the market, their prorated billing system for upgrades can be difficult to calculate manually.
We built this tool to provide transparency. We believe that every website owner should know exactly what they will be charged before they click the "Upgrade" button.

How We Maintain Accuracy
Our formulas are derived directly from Namecheap's public knowledge base and cross-referenced with real-world invoices. We update our pricing data weekly to ensure that intro and renewal rates reflect current market conditions.
Editorial Integrity
While we use affiliate links in some of our content to keep this tool free, our editorial guides are written independently. We only recommend upgrades and services that we genuinely believe provide value to our users.
