How to cancel Namecheap domain

A Namecheap domain stops renewing when you switch off Auto-Renewal for it in your Domain List. Refunds are only possible within 5 days of registration.

Checked in October 2026 against Namecheap domain’s own help pages. Namecheap domain typically costs about €11.28 a year.

Cancel on the web

Sign in to Namecheap and open your Domain List.
Click Manage next to the domain, or open its caret, and toggle Auto-Renewal off.
Renew manually before expiry if you change your mind.

What happens after you cancel

With auto-renewal off, the domain isn't renewed automatically and expires — the same applies to hosting and other services on it.

Refunds

Domain registrations and renewals are non-refundable unless the policy says so. A new registration may be refunded at Namecheap's discretion if cancelled for a valid reason within 5 days (120 hours); most renewals have a similar 5-day window. Premium Domains can't be refunded.

Watch out for

Cancelling hosting doesn't cancel the domain registration.
Don't want the domain? Turn off auto-renewal and let it expire, or move it to another Namecheap user with Change Ownership.

Make sure the charge really stops

Track Namecheap domain in Cancely and mark it cancelled: the day before it would have renewed, you get a reminder to check your statement — so a cancellation that didn’t take doesn’t cost you another month.
