🔧 Services: Domain RegistrationSSL Certificates ICANN registrar
⇔ Redirected domains: namepal.com

NameSilo is a globally-known company that is considered to be part of the Top 15 domain registrars in the world. They are an ICANN accredited registrar company. NameSilo claim they are currently monitoring over 6 million domains. Their goal is to create a better type of registrar that is both simpler to use and cheaper to buy.

Even if the hosting options they provide are rather limited (as there are no VPS or dedicated servers, for instance), they come with a great argument for this: they try to focus on one element (domains mainly) rather than distribute their attention on several grounds (email support, web design or other kinds of services) which could affect their purpose negatively. However, some customers might complain on this by saying that there are other companies that provide both domain registration and hosting services and they manage to do it properly.

Besides domains, NameSilo offers the following products:

• Web hosting;
• SSL Certificates;
• API;

NameSilo uses cutting-edge technology for their services. Web hosting plans include the disk space and bandwidth allotment, as well as free email available for all their shared hosting packages. Some essential email features of which customers can benefit when purchasing a web hosting plan are: email forwarding, advanced anti-spam, inbuilt video calling or advanced search option.

The SSL Certificates provided at NameSilo offer customers: the little lock, protection of sensitive information and protection from cyber-crime. There are three plans for all types of businesses.

When it comes to domains, there are a number of great benefits for customers. First, NameSilo offers free WHOIS services. Not all domain registrars or hosting companies provide this service for free.
