Which one fits

Pick by the job you need done

Choose Namecheap if…

You've picked the name and want the domain cheaply.

You want free WHOIS privacy and low first-year prices
You're searching many domains in bulk
You want hosting and email from the same place

Choose BrandScreen if…

You want the full picture on a name before paying for it.

You need to know if a trademark already covers the name
You want social handles and company registrations checked too
You want weekly watch on trademarks, domains and handles

Using both

Screen with BrandScreen, register with Namecheap

A refused trademark application still costs the filing fee, and a domain bought for a name you later drop is money gone. A free BrandScreen report checks trademarks, domains, business entities, social handles and search competition together, so you only pay for the name that survives.

When a domain shows as open in a BrandScreen report, the Register link goes to Namecheap. (We earn an affiliate commission if you buy; it costs you nothing extra.)
