FAQ
cPanel questions, answered
What is cPanel used for?
cPanel is a web-based control panel that lets you manage your hosting account without using the command line. You use it to create email accounts, add domains and subdomains, manage DNS records, upload files, create databases, install WordPress, add SSL certificates and take backups.
How do I log in to cPanel?
Open https://yourdomain.com:2083 or https://yourdomain.com/cpanel in your browser and enter the cPanel username and password from your hosting welcome email. Many hosts also offer a one-click “Login to cPanel” button in their client area.
What is the difference between cPanel and WHM?
cPanel manages a single hosting account (your websites, email and files). WHM (Web Host Manager) sits above it and manages the whole server or reseller account, letting you create and control many cPanel accounts.
Is SSL free in cPanel?
On most hosts, yes. cPanel’s AutoSSL can issue and renew free domain-validated certificates automatically. Check Security → SSL/TLS Status to see which domains are covered.
How often should I back up my website?
At least weekly for most small sites, and daily for busy sites or online stores. Always take a fresh backup before updating WordPress, changing DNS or moving hosts, and keep a copy off the server.
