Hints and Tips
Sign up for the mailing list: If you’re keen to secure future discounts on Namecheap products and services it’s well worth signing up for the company mailing list. This will get you first access to the likes of exclusive news and latest offers, deals and promos.
Get a student discount: There are discounts to be had if you’re a student shopping for products from Namecheap. The company currently offers a student discount via its Namecheap for Education program, which requires you to verify your student status prior to receiving an acceptance email. This should get you a free domain, which is good for one year’s use.
Join the affiliate scheme: Another way to earn money could be to explore the Namecheap affiliate scheme, which means you could get income from referring others to sign up with the brand. Take a look at the Namecheap website to get full details on its affiliate program.
Get a free or discounted SSL certificate: On some occasions Namecheap does offer free or discounted SSL certificates, which are used to ensure that your website is safe and secure to use. In fact, the company will also replace any of your existing Symantec SSL certificates for free and this doesn't require you to be a customer either.

3. When you get to the checkout screen on the Namecheap website you should find a promotional dialog box where the code can be entered.
4. Paste or type in the coupon code and check that the discount gets applied to the order total.

How we source coupon codes
Whether it's through our affiliate networks, the depths of the world wide web, or our connections with big name brands, here at TechRadar we use every tool at our disposal to source the latest codes. Our coupons team updates each of our pages multiple times a week with the most recent deals, including exclusive coupons negotiated by our Commercial team. We also include the latest sales info directly from retailers to offer the most up-to-date discounts around.
How we test coupon codes
Each coupon you find on TechRadar has been tested before being uploaded by our dedicated Deals & Offers teams. You’ll see a range of offers, from free shipping to student discounts, with savings available on all kinds of products & services. To make sure every coupon is ready to use, we don’t list any user-specific or one-time codes.
We also include all relevant information about coupons, such as expiry dates and any terms & conditions, near the ‘Get Code’ button. You can see the details for an individual offer by clicking on the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text below the code and expanding the code area.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
Although we do our best to ensure all listed codes are tried & tested, sometimes coupons expire or terms & conditions are changed before we can update pages. Our team works hard to make sure our coupons are active and work as intended, and should you encounter an issue when using one, we’ll work just as hard to help.
The best place to start is by checking the requirements. Click “View terms and conditions” to expand the code section and see any guidance on your chosen coupon. For example, you may need to meet a minimum spend, add other items to your basket to qualify for a multibuy offer, or confirm that your chosen code applies to the items in your basket (i.e. 10% off laptops).
If you’re still having issues using your code, you can email our customer service team on coupons.techradar@futurenet.com. Include as many details as possible - such as which code you used and which coupon page it’s listed on so our team can address your issue as fast as possible.
How we make money
When it comes to coupons, TechRadar earns money via a commission-based model. For every brand we have a coupon page for, we’ve negotiated a deal that means we earn a percentage of total basket value in commission back from every order.
Using this model means we can offer our coupons to our customers free of charge. You won’t pay any fees to add your chosen coupon to your basket - you’ll simply pay the final order total once your discount has been applied.
