Category:CPanel: Difference between revisions

cPanel is the control panel for your web hosting account. You use it to manage email accounts, domains, files, databases, backups and security for your websites.

To log in, go to your hosting plan in the Client Area and click Log in to cPanel. See Log in to cPanel and WHM from the Client Area, or cPanel, WHM and Webmail login addresses to log in directly.
