Dear clients,
We would like to inform you about the upcoming cPanel version upgrade that will take place on Monday, June 16, 2025, at 04:00 AM EDT | 08:00 UTC.
We are going to proceed with the next iteration of the cPanel upgrade from 118 to 126 version on Namecheap Shared Hosting as version 118 is approaching its end of life.
Maintenance window: 4 hours.
Expected downtime: up to 5 minutes on cPanel-related services.
Affected service: All cPanel-related services can be unavailable during the downtime period (e.g. cPanel/Webmail login links). However, websites/web-server/MySQL will be working properly.
Impact:
1. cPanel 126 version supports both MySQL and MariaDB. Therefore, the naming of database-related features will be changed.
2. The “Calendars and Contacts” and “Calendar Delegation” menus will be changed to “Calendars and Contacts Configuration”, “Calendars and Contacts Sharing”, and “Calendars and Contacts Management” menus.
As a result, clients that use calendar clients will need to re-login to their calendars after the maintenance to ensure they continue syncing with the settings from the server (Webmail calendars).
Affected servers:
Shared: 129-132, 246, 248, 256-257;
Premium: 17-18, 46, 60-61, 82, 88, 145;
Business: 25-27, 36-37, 48;
Reseller: 31, 37, 60-61, 66-68.
Once the maintenance starts, we will be updating you via this blog post, which is why we highly advise you to bookmark this page. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
Kind regards,
Namecheap Support Team
