NameCrane
Member, Patron Provider
NameCrane is now offering affordable WHMCS licenses for active customers. We added DirectAdmin to DirectAdmin migrations to our easy to use Migration Center (mass migrate from your old host to us, completely DIY). It's 2024 so we've got IPv6 too.
We'd appreciate if you checked out our products, but here's the "I'm just here for the giveaway" button.

New At NameCrane
Cheap WHMCS Licenses Now Available
Customers demanded it - so we made it happen. We've decided to start selling WHMCS licenses at very affordable prices. They're available to all customers with an active shared/reseller/crate service at effectively passthrough pricing.
WHMCS Starter (250 customer) licenses start at just $8.29/month. These are internal licenses and must be hosted with NameCrane.
Migration Center Updates - Now With More DirectAdmin
Self-serve migration tool hosted inside our billing portal, allowing cPanel to cPanel transfers (reseller or shared), cPanel to DirectAdmin transfers, and now DirectAdmin to DirectAdmin transfers. Still in beta but our customers have migrated well over 1000 accounts already - bulk migrating away from other cPanel hosts to our cPanel/DA Crates and Reseller Hosting.
By popular demand, we've also added DA to DA transfers through the Migration Center interface. Making it even easier to handle migrations from your old host over to us. Full support for single user Shared and bulk multi-user Reseller account moves as well.
IPv6 Fully Rolled Out
IPv6 is now available on all plans in all locations. You're automatically assigned a single address out of a unique /64 per account. cPanel Resellers/Crates get an additional unique IP on a /64 per account. DirectAdmin Resellers/Crates share a single IP by default, but more can be assigned to you at no cost - just ticket for more.

NameCrane Reviews
We want to highlight a few recent reviews from LET about NameCrane. You can also check the latest NameCrane customer reviews on TrustPilot.
I picked up a shared DA plan to do some testing last week, shit is wicked fast to say the least. Ryzen 7900 is kicking ass.
They are great. I moved to NameCrane cPanel Shared 25G from NameCheap's Stellar Business plan, and I did not notice any significant difference performance-wise. There is a significant difference in price: Namecheap charges 216.88 / 2 yrs vs Namecrane 36 / 2 yrs. I won't say Namecheap's plan is a rip off because they are way cheaper than SiteGround and GoDaddy. They are in that price range / market for a reason, and my wallet definitely want me to pay less.
The resource limits (other than disk storage and burstable CPU) are either higher or equal on Shared 25G plan compared to Stellar Business. My sites are also now on IPv6 (which is not offered by Namecheap) after opening a ticket.
Props to brother in crane @Francisco for the migration tool, used it to pull an old cpanel account over to Namecrane and everything worked perfectly first try.
I have tried out @NameCrane services and I have to say they are quite simply the best shared hosting I've ever tested. Performance was excellent in my brief time, but the thing that surprised me the most was the responsiveness, professionalism, and knowledge of the staff, given the pricing model of the service. This is highly unusual in my experience. If they can actually keep that up long-term, they will be setting a very high bar indeed. So big tip of the hat to the whole @NameCrane team, bravo, and well done!
I can't honestly speak to the long-term reliability of course, but my brief experience has demonstrated the high level you can achieve for a very reasonable price. They will be receiving my vote next year as among the Best of LET.

You all doing this free stuff, but where's the summer host meme plan? Why can't you buy one? Imagine mzungu which you can actually buy. Unlimited meme potential. Also, make the package id 6969 or something if you ever do one.
Because there are price limits on LET for offers.
But all you need to do is combine one of these or these, with this or that and you're in business, baby!
Brothers in Crane
This calls for meme combination package. You can't, but we can.
If you can propose something cursed enough to make @Francisco chuckle, I'll consider it.

Nice deals! Thx NC. Good luck all.
Brothers in Crane
Currently a customer for over a year now (Budget reseller) and the service is awesome. Good uptime and the service is stable, just hoping that Singapore location will be rolled out really soon because any of your current locations have quite high latency on our location (Philippines)
Brothers in Crane
WHMCS Please
100% the same budget reseller experience. Hope for Canada location next century)

Question. I'm now considering a 250G Crate. Can it be upgraded to 500G when time has come?
Yep, no problem. No downtime, just enjoy the new resource limits.
Would love your reviews on trustpilot!
Francisco
My brothers, I fear you're not reading my wall of text and missing the bonus bonus entries & draw
Only exception here is if it's a larger upgrade. We're leaving space on the nodes to allow for expansion, but if you jump from a 250 or 500 to 2TB, we might need to migrate the Crate to a newer node.
One of the benefits of starting at 500G is the free dedicated IP with this offer, which will make even a cross-node upgrade a lot easier.
Thank you for the clarification!
P.S. I'm not a fan of giveaways). I'm a fan of recurring discounts, but Namecrane is an exemption)
I will! Maybe after I get a crate, I'll do it with some comparison, budget vs crate.
Brothers in Crane
I mean, I can double the prices for you and offer a 50% recurring discount.. typically what most people in this industry do. lol
We try to price stuff out where it makes sense - great deal, and we don't lose our shirts or have to do some limited quantity dealio.
Brothers in Crane
When namecrame/buyvm merch giveaway?
Brothers in Crane
I'm one of Namecrane's customers who is very satisfied with its service
We have a logo now so we could probably put that on some shirts
Francisco
Absolutely! Fair pricing, no discount needed.

SSH Access & Malware Protection (imunify360) on DA Shared & Reseller hosting ?
Yep! SSH on by default, on the resellers you can turn it on/off for specific sub-accounts though if you'd like. Imunify360 on all boxes.
