What is the hosting panel

When you have decided to start a web page project, surely you have hired a hosting and now you are wondering what is the cPane of web hosting ?, a common question among those who are just starting out in the web world. The cPanel is the control panel, which is a tool to be able to administer the management of the website or blog. One of its advantages is the interface, as it is very easy to use to be able to move, upload, download and back up the files on the page without having to interact with the console (Via SSH).

Cpanel of a Hosting

If you have contracted a hosting, be it shared, VPS or dedicated, it will be managed through the cPanel. From the tool you will have control of all the web pages that have been hosted in the hosting plan, it is then that from here you can add or remove email accounts, add or remove web domains, manage the data on the pages, create a database, implement information and many more.

How to enter the cPanel?

There are several ways to enter cPanel, but that will depend on the type of web hosting you have contracted. However, in many occasions to be able to enter the cPanel it is done directly from the hosting provider, otherwise you can also do it from the main URL of the hosting, where there are three options:

• http://www.mipaginaweb.com:2083http://www.mipaginaweb.com:2082http://www.mipaginaweb.com/cpanel

Those are the most common options to enter the control panel, especially when the hosting plan has been confirmed. In other cases there are also other alternatives to be able to enter from the contracted IP address. So you can go forward with the management until you wait for the DNS to be updated to your "domain", to know that a verification email will arrive at the email. The other options to enter are:

• http://host19.servername.com/cpanelhttp://NUMERODEIP/cpanel

If despite having tried to enter in all the ways that have been mentioned and you cannot access the cPanel, it is because the contracted server has not yet confirmed or activated the domain , therefore the hosting is not active, as they usually take time. That is why it is worth mentioning that when you hire a web hosting, the servers usually take a few hours or even days to activate the hosting.

What is the username and password of the hosting cPanel?

To know that your hosting has been activated, the providers send an email message notifying the activation and the information that you will need to access your website, that is, the DNS, FTP and other data.

Along with this message, the username and password of the cPanel are also included, with that you can enter the administration and start mounting your website. In case you have forgotten your access data because you have decided to change it, you have to send a ticket or an email with your data so that the provider can send you a new password.
