Dear Customers,
Please be informed that we are going to proceed with upgrading cPanel from version 118 to 126 on our Namecheap Shared Hosting servers to keep our service up-to-date on Friday, April 18, 2025, at 4:00 AM EDT | 08:00 UTC. This maintenance is required since cPanel version 118 is approaching its end of life.
Affected services: all cPanel-related services can be unavailable during the downtime period (e.g., cPanel/Webmail login links).
However, websites/web servers/MySQL will be working properly.
Maintenance Window: 5 hours
Downtime: up to 5 minutes
Impact:
- 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). - cPanel 126 version supports both MySQL and MariaDB. Therefore, the naming of database-related features will be changed accordingly.
Affected servers:
