But if you haven’t yet decided on a name yet, it’s ok. You can still follow these steps and let Namecheap suggest you some names.

The first step is to search for a new domain name.
Enter the domain name you wish to buy & click on “Search”:
On the next page, you will see if that domain name is available and also some more domain name suggestions.
Click on the basket icon to add any domain name into the shopping cart.
Once you have done that, click on “View Cart”.
The WhoisGuard is free for the first year, so you should enable it (unless you have a reason to leave it off). To learn more about WhoisGuard, click here.
I would also suggest you keep the “PremiumDNS” section disabled.
Once you are ready, click on “Confirm Order”.
Create your account.
Once done, you will be taken to the final order purchase page for payment. You can make payment using PayPal or credit card.
Your domain name will be activated within 5 minutes. You can then start using it immediately.
