As another alternative I can personally recommend this service -> SteadyTurtle.com. They are no longer as active on the forum as they used to be, but I can confirm that everything is working flawlessly, payment can be done in BTC and few other crypto + PP - and price for mini hosting plan is just $1.95 per month -> https://www.steadyturtle.com/web-hosting.php
While examplens experienced a very poor support with namecheap so far they're good to me, regarding questions and also in any help I need, but never had same experience on late/forget to renew the domain though.
Regarding the cheapest host in there, its something on their shared hosting plan.
Regarding godaddy, never tried them since there are lots of negative reviews on their service also with the previous company I work with had the same problem with them.

GoDadd? looks like a 100% promo name and so
As a person who's handled dozens of websites and have tried GoDaddy, I can assure you that I will bring my despise of GoDaddy to my deathbed. Their service simply sucks regardless how big their name is.
@bitmover I have paid shared hosting if your website is not overly demanding I can add it to my server. I have some free space. 
Hey that's very nice of you.
I am not sure exactly about what will it evolve too, but for now it won't demand much. I want to create some blockchain analysis using python /machine learning. I hope I can do something cool, but not sure yet. I will also try to analyze bitcointalk data.
As data is already hosted somewhere else it won't demand much.
I will register my domain and get in touch with you when everything is ready . Thank you.
Never I sent any document for a KYC compliance. However, I advise you to give real information otherwise a registrar can cancel your domain (you never know if, for example, someone reports you or something else). And if you don't reply to their email asking questions they will directly suspend or cancel your domain.
If the problem is the public WHOIS details, Namecheap offers privacy protection service (WhoisGuard) for free, except for .uk, .ca, and probably .london

I don't know if I'm late with the information but I must recommend Namesilo rather than Namecheap. they have everything you need. No need any KYC or anything, accept BTC, PP. Whoisguard is free also, although I haven't tried for .uk, .ca domains... I think they are by far the cheapest domain registrar.
The reason why I migrate all my domains from Namecheap is that very poor support if you accidentally forget to renew the domain they take it over immediately and asking some large amounts to buy back domain. I had a very frustrating experience with them.

As above said, I don't think they will require any sort of KYC documents. I have a few domains on namesilo which I purchased with BTC but never faced any kind of KYC requirements. If you want, you can use namesilo too. Till now, I have faced no problem at all with them and their support is good.

Never tried NameCheap to buy domain for years ever since because I use GoDaddy. But it's a good thing that NameCheap now has Bitcoin accepted as payment method for buying domains once and for all. It's all about mainstream adoption.
I just don't know if GoDaddy would ever follow the footsteps of NameCheap in adopting Bitcoin. I'm currently using Paypal to buy and renew my domains under GoDaddy.
I have one more question.
I was looking at hosting prices, they are more expensive than I tought.
If I want a small page, not too many megabytes of data... what is the cheapest way to do so?
Well, I bought very cheap hosting on their site last year it is their black Friday promo but since today is not November yet you can get another promo from Namecheap.
Check this first https://www.namecheap.com/promos/
If you are planning to build an unlimited website you can get cheap stellar plus web hosting from here https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/domain-and-hosting-bundle/
It includes a free domain or you can try the shared hosting from here https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/shared/
I think no one could bypass it by paying but if you break any terms or didn't respond from WhoisGuard there's a possibility that they will reveal you're true identity.
Thanks

So WhoisGuard is a free service. I can give them some contact information but it won't be public visible.
But can someone bypasss whoisguard just by paying something, right?

Read this TOS quoted below.
Quote from: http://www.whoisguard.com/legal-tos.asp
In the event you do not respond to communications from WhoisGuard, irrespective of whether WhoisGuard is forwarding an email or making an unrelated inquiry or communication, you understand and agree that WhoisGuard may immediately reveal the information you provided in accordance with this TOS and/or cancel the Services regarding either the Protected Domain in question or with respect to all of your Protected Domains, depending on the circumstances. This means the WHOIS directory will revert to displaying your name, postal address, email address and phone number.

no need to do kyc to buy a domain, you can put any information for info.
I have a few domains from Namecheap and hosting services, I bought them all with bitcoin, but I never experienced or got any email from Namecheap about KYC.
So I think you are free to buy a domain on Namecheap with bitcoin without giving your identity, but they ask for this information below.
- Registrant Contact
- Administrative Contact
- Technical Contact
You can put any information about this the same as mine or you can use "WhoisGuard Protection" if you don't want to show your true identity.
