Наш вердикт

DigitalOcean
Choose DigitalOcean if you prioritise faster median TTFB in our probes (275 ms vs 356 ms). Test servers in minutes with Ubuntu and Docker. On the trade-off side, self-managed security and updates unless you pay for more.

Namecheap
Choose Namecheap if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($1.98/mo) and the higher overall score in our matrix (9.3 vs 9.0). Clear renewal pricing, easy to track across a large domain portfolio. On the trade-off side, not the fastest host. Plan caching and a CDN for speed-critical sites.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Should I pick DigitalOcean or Namecheap?+
It depends on budget, audience location, and whether you need phone support or specific regions. Our overall scores are 9.0 vs 9.3; cross-check the table with your must-haves, then confirm renewals on the host's checkout.
Do you run live tests on both providers?+
Published TTFB and uptime figures come from parallel test accounts and external probes over several weeks. Storage and site limits reflect published grids checked in April 2026.
