[Planned] Namecheap Private Email Maintenance: the Storage Upgrade – February 28, 2026

Dear Customers,

This is to inform you about a forthcoming Private Email Maintenance. The update will take place on February 28, 2026, at 3:00 AM EST | 08:00 UTC. This update is necessary to apply firmware and software updates to maintain a secure, stable, and high-performing infrastructure.

Maintenance window: 3 hours.
Services impacted/expected downtime for 20 minutes, the IMAP/POP3/SMTP connections for the mailboxes hosted on the storage being rebooted will not work for this time, and the incoming emails may be delayed for these mailboxes.

Once the maintenance starts, we will update you via this status post, so we highly advise you to bookmark this page.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Kind regards,
Namecheap Support Team
