Namecheap SQL Import Guide

Namecheap shared hosting uses cPanel with conservative PHP limits that block large dumps.

Typical limits

  • • phpMyAdmin upload cap on shared plans
  • • PHP execution timeouts
  • • Entry-process and resource caps on busy imports

Best fixes

  • • Split the dump into small chunks and import in order
  • • Use SSH + the mysql CLI on plans that allow it
  • • Raise PHP limits via the MultiPHP INI Editor where available

Quick fix

Split your dump into smaller chunks before importing.
