What is cPanel and how to access it

cPanel is web interface for the hosting server. cPanel allows you to manage your e-mail accounts, MySQL databases, check your website’s visitor statistics, change PHP version and variables, install web apps like WordPress, and perform many other tasks (the cPanel look may differ due to regular updates).

A short cut to access cPanel of each hosting account is available in your admin area > Hosting, no username or password is required to login cPanel using this shortcut:

Or from the admin area of the hosting account itself:


If you need to allow someone, such as a web developer, to access your website (hosting account) for specific tasks, you can share your cPanel login credentials (URL, username, and password) with him. This will enable him to perform the necessary tasks without accessing other websites or your billing information. For even greater control, you can use cPanel's Team Manager feature to define specific access permissions for the developer. This allows you to grant access to particular cPanel functions, such as Files and Databases, while restricting access to other areas, like Email. This fine-grained control ensures that the developer has only the necessary permissions to complete their tasks.
