How green is Namecheap?
Namecheap is not in the Green Web Foundation's directory of verified green hosting providers (we checked on 1 November 2026). That says nothing either way about the energy behind its hosting.
What the Foundation's verification means
Namecheap says its data centres in the Netherlands, Singapore and the UK run entirely on renewable power, without saying how that power is bought. Its US data centre, where its VPS and dedicated servers run, is not included.
Namecheap's servers in data centres run by other companies, in Phoenix, Amsterdam, Singapore and Farnborough.
The data centres we list are in 4 countries, whose grids average 338 g CO2e per kWh, against 218 g in the UK. Lower is cleaner.
The grid in each country
| Country | Grid average | Year |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 384 gCO2e/kWh | 2025 |
| Netherlands | 254 gCO2e/kWh | 2025 |
| Singapore | 497 gCO2e/kWh | 2025 |
| United Kingdom | 218 gCO2e/kWh | 2025 |
