WHISCLOUD provides cPanel access to streamline website management, from setting up email accounts to configuring databases. This guide introduces the main features and navigation in cPanel to help you make the most of your hosting account.
1. Dashboard Overview
Upon logging into cPanel, you’ll see the dashboard, which provides quick access to various tools and resources. The dashboard is organized into sections, including Files, Databases, Email, Domains, and Security, each with icons for easy navigation. You can use the search bar at the top to quickly locate specific features.
2. File Management
The File Manager allows you to upload, delete, and manage website files directly from the cPanel interface. You can also manage backups, set up FTP accounts, and monitor your disk usage here. Backups can be manually created and downloaded, providing a safeguard for your data.
3. Email Management
cPanel’s Email Accounts section lets you create, delete, and manage email addresses associated with your domain. You can also set up forwarders, autoresponders, and filters. Spam Filters help you keep unwanted emails at bay, improving inbox management.
4. Domain and DNS Management
In the Domains section, you can add new domains, subdomains, and parked domains to your account. The DNS Zone Editor allows you to modify DNS settings, such as A, MX, and CNAME records, to control domain routing and mail settings.
5. Database Management
For websites that rely on databases, cPanel offers MySQL Databases and phpMyAdmin for creating and managing databases. This section enables you to add users, set privileges, and access the database directly for advanced modifications.
6. Security Features
To enhance website security, cPanel includes tools like SSL/TLS for managing SSL certificates, IP Blocker for blocking unwanted traffic, and Hotlink Protection to prevent others from directly linking to your resources.
