Stellar vs. Stellar Plus vs. Stellar Business

Choosing the right plan ensures you don't overpay for resources you don't use, or hit limits that crash your site.

1. The Entry Point: Stellar

The Stellar plan is the most affordable shared hosting option from Namecheap. It's designed for small personal websites, portfolios, or low-traffic blogs.

• Websites: Up to 3.
• Storage: 20 GB SSD.
• Best for: Beginners starting their first project.

The main limitation of Stellar is the website count (3) and the storage (20GB). If you plan on hosting multiple niche sites or high-resolution imagery, you will outgrow this quickly.

2. The Sweet Spot: Stellar Plus

Stellar Plus is Namecheap's most popular plan. It removes the most restrictive limits of the entry-tier plan while maintaining an incredibly low price point.

• Websites: Unlimited.
• Storage: Unmetered SSD.
• AutoBackup: Included.

We recommend this plan for 90% of users. The "Unmetered" storage means you don't have to worry about individual file sizes, and the AutoBackup feature provides essential peace of mind.

3. The Powerhouse: Stellar Business

Stellar Business is geared towards small e-commerce stores, high-traffic WordPress sites, and users who require higher server priority.

• Cloud Storage: This plan uses a different storage architecture for higher reliability.
• Inode Limit: 600,000 (Double the other plans).
• PCI Compliance: Easier to achieve for businesses.

Ultimately, the best plan depends on your growth. If you are just starting, Stellar is enough. If you have multiple sites, Stellar Plus is the sweet spot. For e-commerce, Stellar Business is a must.
