How much will your Namecheap upgrade cost?

Understanding Namecheap Prorated Upgrades

If you're outgrowing your current Namecheap shared hosting limits—whether running out of disk space, inode limits, or needing more addon domains—upgrading is the next logical step. However, a major point of confusion for website owners is understanding how much they will actually pay during the transition.

What is Prorated Billing?

Instead of charging you the full price of the new plan and wasting the remainder of your old plan, Namecheap uses a "prorated" system. This means you only act pay for the functional difference between the high-tier and low-tier plan for the exact number of days remaining in your billing cycle. Once your renewal date arrives, you will then be billed the normal renewal rate for the new tier.

How to use this Calculator

We built this tool based on Namecheap's official published mathematical formulas for upgrading. Simply grab your billing start and end dates from your Namecheap Dashboard (under the 'Hosting' tab), select your current and target package, and the tool will compute the exact pro-rated refund and the pro-rated charge to give you the net difference.
