Login to Namecheap cPanel

You can check the email used for the Namecheap hosting registration and view detailed information for login into cPanel:

• Sign in to your Namecheap account.
• Look at the menu on the left and click “Register Hosting“.
• On the Hosting Subscriptions page, select the hosting account you want to access and click “Go to cPanel“.
• Like other cPanel web hosting, here you can manage files, email settings, create a website with 1-click WordPress installation, etc.

 

Sometimes you have problems login into cPanel, the first thing you need to check is the cPanel credential data that you typed with the credential data you received in the hosting account details email.

If your cPanel credentials are correct but you can’t login, try resetting your password.

Also check if your domain is pointing to the Namecheap hosting server’s NS record correctly.

 

For the record, if you have just migrated your domain and website to Namecheap or changed the name server for a domain name, it will take 1 day for your website to be active again.

You can try access to cPanel by typing these options in a web browser:

• 

  http://yourdomain.tld/cpanel

• https://serverhostname:2083
• http://serverhostname:2082
• http://cpanel.yourdomain.tld
• http://yourdomain.tld:2082
• http://serverIP:2082

 

If you can’t access cPanel via the link above, then you need to check the internet network, firewall or antivirus software.

There is also in certain cases when you test route hosting and there is a “Server connection timed out error” message, your external IP address is blocked by Namecheap’s firewall.
