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.


cPanel is the industry leading control panel for managing every aspect of your website. All Shared Web Hosting and Reseller Hosting plans with Acenet include the cPanel control panel for managing your domain(s).
