Namecheap SSL plugin in cPanel temporarily unavailable

Dear Customers,

This is to inform you that the Namecheap SSL plugin in cPanel on Namecheap Shared hosting is temporarily disabled while we carry out maintenance and improvements.

Date of the start: November 6, 16:30 UTC / 11:30 AM EST
Expected duration: No ETA yet. We’ll post an update when the plugin is back.
Customer impact:

  • SSL certificates that are already installed keep working until they expire.
  • Customers can’t use the plugin to activate, reissue or install Namecheap SSL certificates. This includes the free PositiveSSL certificate included with hosting.
  • Automatic SSL installation/reissue will proceed working.

Workaround:

  • Activate or reissue the certificate in the Namecheap account (Dashboard → SSL Certificates), then install it manually in cPanel → SSL/TLS.

If you need assistance with the SSL certificate installation, please contact our Support Team.


We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

Thank you for your patience!
