How to Access Your cPanel Account
Accessing cPanel is the first step to managing your website’s hosting environment on WHISCLOUD. cPanel provides a user-friendly interface to control everything from file management to email setup, so knowing how to access it is essential. Here’s a guide to logging in and securing your access.
1. Logging into cPanel via WHISCLOUD Dashboard
If you have a WHISCLOUD account, you can log in to cPanel directly through your WHISCLOUD dashboard:
- Step 1: Go to the WHISCLOUD website and log in to your account.
- Step 2: Navigate to the My Hosting section.
- Step 3: Select the hosting package associated with the website you want to manage.
- Step 4: Find the cPanel Login button and click it. This will take you directly to your cPanel without requiring an additional password.
2. Direct cPanel Login
You can also access cPanel directly through your browser:
- Step 1: Open a browser and enter your domain name followed by “/cpanel” (e.g., `www.yourdomain.com/cpanel`) or use the IP address assigned to your hosting account (e.g., `123.45.67.89/cpanel`).
- Step 2: Enter your cPanel username and password, which WHISCLOUD provides when you set up your hosting account.
3. Securing Your cPanel Access
- Use a Strong Password: Ensure your password is unique, complex, and regularly updated to maintain security.

- Log Out Properly: Always log out of cPanel when you’re done, especially if you’re on a public or shared computer.
