How to use cPanel with Namecheap Shared Hosting?
Does Namecheap offer cloud Shared Hosting?
How to migrate a website to Namecheap Shared Hosting for free?
First off, I'm curious whether folks go to namecheap to buy a portfolio domain? Or do you go straight to squarespace (or your preferred host) to buy?
My main question though is about hosting a professional email address. Not sure the best way to set one up. Is that best done through your hosting site or through namecheap? I'd really like it to have those email funnel into a separate mailbox than my existing gmail.
I've been googling and trying to find answers for this, but every time I search it gives me tips on how to set up a google workspace/domain/email (no shocker, especially considering I used google to search).
Curious to hear what others have done for professional emails! TIA
Hi guys
I have always been used to buying a domain, hosting package, and then creating my email accounts through cPanel directly. Now I see a lot of these hosting providers are pushing these "Professional Business Email" plans, like "Starter, Pro Ultimate, etc", which cost extra over the regular hosting package.
I'm having trouble finding the info, but are these now required add-ons to create an email for a domain through cPanel, or is that still possible without buying these extra add-on plans?
I haven't used Namecheap in a while. I'm just building a basic website with 1-3 emails.
Hi,
I have a domain on Namecheap and would like to have a domain email address like [email protected] to send mail from, using Amazon SES.
Anyone used namecheap email and would give me any advice or thoughts about how well it works? I read that mail always ends up in Spam. If true, are there any alternatives other than G suite? G suite is too pricey for me.
Thanks for any help :)
I couldn't find a better deal with a cursory Google search - NameCheap was still the cheapest by a few dollars.
I don't need much:
-
A few GB of space (or even less). I mostly host basic webpages written in Notepad.
-
PHP support.
-
(Optional) 1 database, but I could live without it.
-
It's for an old tool I developed for the staff of an online game, which still exists but in dwindling numbers. When someone runs this tool, opens a hosted PHP page which logs their IP in this database, so I can keep track and make sure the tool hasn't been "leaked" to non-staff players. But it's really not anything sensitive.

I remember looking into self-hosting many years ago, but don't recall my conclusion... I'm not the most advanced when it comes to web stuff. I've heard of Apache but haven't used it (not even sure what it does), so it made more sense for me to just throw a few bucks at a hosting service. NameCheap was cheap+simple, Cpanel handled all my needs.
Am I going to find anything cheaper than this, or is that just goes it goes in 2025?
