What Is cPanel? What Does It Help You Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>cPanel is the control panel for your web hosting. It gives you a graphical interface to help you perform tasks that would otherwise require you to know about programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, it makes your web server \u201chuman friendly\u201d. That\u2019s a good thing because otherwise, you\u2019d need to be like one of those hackers in the movies!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/hacker-1.jpg\" alt=\"stereotypical hacker\" class=\"wp-image-30796\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does cPanel Help You Do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>cPanel lets you perform a number of important functions like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Easily installing software like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and more<\/li><li>Adding new domain names and subdomains to your hosting account<\/li><li>Uploading files directly to your server<\/li><li>Managing FTP accounts to upload files via FTP<\/li><li>Creating and managing new databases to store content<\/li><li>Increasing security in a few different ways<\/li><li>Diagnosing issues with your computer<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you move through this cPanel guide, you\u2019ll learn exactly how you can perform each of those functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Access cPanel At Your Host<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, your host should send you the details for your cPanel account in a welcome email. For example, here\u2019s the welcome email I got for one of my test hosting accounts:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-1.png\" alt=\"how to access cpanel\" class=\"wp-image-30767\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t see a welcome email that specifically references cPanel, you can usually also access cPanel by logging into your host\u2019s customer area and clicking a link inside that area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But here\u2019s the foolproof way to access cPanel:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Append one of the following bits of text to the end of your site\u2019s URL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>:2082 &#8211; if your site uses HTTP at the beginning of its URL<\/li><li>:2083 &#8211; if your site uses HTTPS at the beginning of its URL<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your site is \u201chttp:\/\/yourdomain.com\u201d, then you can access cPanel by going to \u201chttp:\/\/yourdomain.com:2082\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-2.png\" alt=\"logging into cpanel\" class=\"wp-image-30768\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>From there, you\u2019ll still need to enter your username and password, though. If you don\u2019t know these details (and didn\u2019t receive them in a welcome email), your best option is probably to contact your host\u2019s support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"accessing-the-cpanel\">02. A Quick Tour Around The cPanel Interface<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, let\u2019s start with a bit of a confounding factor to this interface guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There\u2019s no single cPanel interface design<\/strong>. Instead, the actual design that you\u2019ll see is up to your host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For that reason &#8211; your cPanel might not look exactly like the one I\u2019m going to show you in this guide.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main cPanel interface themes&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The older <strong>X3 theme<\/strong>, which looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-3.png\" alt=\"cpanel guide - a look at the interface\" class=\"wp-image-30769\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The newer <strong>Paper Lantern theme<\/strong>, which looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-4.png\" alt=\"paper lantern cpanel theme\" class=\"wp-image-30770\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>While the styles look fairly different, <strong>no matter which design you\u2019re using, you should see a variety of options divided into different sections:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-5.png\" alt=\"how the cpanel interface works\" class=\"wp-image-30771\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>These options are where the meat of cPanel\u2019s functionality lies and should be similar across all hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cPanel also includes a search functionality to help you quickly find specific functions:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-6.png\" alt=\"searching for cpanel functions\" class=\"wp-image-30772\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll be using the older X3 theme for the remainder of this guide because it\u2019s what SiteGround, a popular WordPress host, uses. But even if your host has the newer Paper Lantern theme, you should have no problem following along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"using-cpanel\">03.&nbsp;Using cPanel To Install Software Like WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After signing up for hosting, one of the first things you\u2019ll likely want to do is install WordPress or another content management system to actually start building your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you do this, cPanel usually includes tools called <strong>Autoinstallers<\/strong> that offer a user friendly method for installing popular software packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see these different autoinstallers laid out in the <strong>Autoinstallers<\/strong> section of my example cPanel dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re pretty easy to use. For example, if you want to install WordPress, all you need to do is click on the <strong>WordPress<\/strong> option:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30773\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Then, follow the beginner-friendly install wizard to install the program on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Because some hosts use different Autoinstaller software, it\u2019s hard to give a specific tutorial for the rest of the process. <\/em>If you need more help, though, WPKube has actually published a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpkube.com\/install-wordpress\/\">post on how to use each individual Autoinstaller to install WordPress<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adding-new-domains\">04.&nbsp; Adding New Domains And Subdomains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you signed up for your hosting account, you should\u2019ve configured at least one domain during the signup process. This will always be your primary domain. For the purposes of the examples below, let\u2019s say your primary domain is \u201cdesignbombs.com\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your host allows it, you can also add two types of new domain names:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Addon Domains <\/strong>&#8211; these are an entirely separate domain name. For example, something like \u201cmysite.com\u201d<\/li><li><strong>Subdomains<\/strong> &#8211; these are an addition to your primary domain name. For example, something like \u201cmysite.designbombs.com\u201d.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these options (and more!) are located in the <strong>Domains<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adding A New Standalone Domain Name<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To add an entirely new domain to your site, you need to click on <strong>Addon Domains<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30774\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>On the next screen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Enter your domain name in the <strong>New Domain Name<\/strong> box.<\/li><li>Once you do that, cPanel should pre-fill two of the other boxes.<\/li><li>Then, all you need to do is enter your desired password and click <strong>Add Domain.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30775\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can also remove or modify existing domain names in this area by scrolling down to the <strong>Modify Addon Domain<\/strong> section:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30776\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adding A New Subdomain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To add a new subdomain to either your primary domain name or any of your addon domains, click on the <strong>Subdomains<\/strong> option from your main cPanel dashboard:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-11.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30777\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>On the next screen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Enter your desired subdomain<\/li><li>Choose the domain to which you want to add the subdomain from the drop-down<\/li><li>Click <strong>Create<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-12.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30778\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As with <strong>Addon Domains<\/strong>, you can also use this section to manage any of your existing subdomains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"uploading=files\">05.&nbsp;Uploading Files Via cPanel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>cPanel helps you access two different ways to upload files to your web server:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>File Manager &#8211; <\/strong>this tool lets you directly upload files via your web browser.<\/li><li><strong>FTP Accounts <\/strong>&#8211; these let you connect to your web server using something called an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/best-ftp-clients-for-mac-windows\/\">FTP program<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, you can use <strong>File Manager <\/strong>to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Upload a few files at a time<\/li><li>Move files around on your server<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>File Manager is nice because it\u2019s convenient and doesn\u2019t require any third-party programs (<em>remember &#8211; it works right in your web browser<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you need to upload a large number of files (like a whole album of images), <strong>File Manager <\/strong>isn\u2019t really the most effective method &#8211; you\u2019ll be better off using FTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll show you how to use both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using File Manager To Upload Files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To access <strong>File Manager<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Look for the <strong>Files<\/strong> section in your cPanel dashboard<\/li><li>Click on <strong>File Manager<\/strong><\/li><li>In the popup that appears, select the domain you want to manage from the drop-down<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-13.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30779\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Then, you\u2019ll be taken to the <strong>File Manager<\/strong> interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can navigate between different folders by clicking in the interface.

If you\u2019re using a tool like WordPress, all of your website\u2019s data is stored in a database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Most of the time, you\u2019ll never need to think about your database.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it does come in handy to know how to manually create a database if you ever need to, say, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/transfer-wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg\/\">migrate your WordPress site<\/a> manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a new MySQL database, go to <strong>MySQL Databases<\/strong> in the <strong>Databases<\/strong> section:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-21.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30787\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Then, you\u2019ll need to complete a 3-step process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, complete the <strong>Create a New Database<\/strong> section:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-22.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30788\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Then, scroll down and <strong>Add a New User<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-23.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30789\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Finally, scroll further down to the <strong>Add a User to a Database<\/strong> section and use the drop-downs to add the <strong>User<\/strong> that you just created to the <strong>Database<\/strong> that you also just created:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-24.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30790\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>As I said, you\u2019re unlikely to need to use this functionality on a daily basis.

Viewing Error Logs In cPanel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like databases, error logs are a niche feature that you\u2019re unlikely to regularly come in contact with. But if you\u2019re running into issues with your website, your server\u2019s error logs are an invaluable tool in helping you (<em>or your developer!<\/em>) diagnose what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To access your server\u2019s error logs, all you need to do is go to <strong>Error Log <\/strong>in the <strong>Visitor Stats<\/strong> section:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cpanel-guide-25.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30791\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">cPanel Is Your Server Management Buddy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And that wraps up my massive cPanel guide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using shared hosting, I can pretty much guarantee that your host uses cPanel, which is why it\u2019s so vital that you understand how to navigate your way around the cPanel dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, I hope you have the skills to do everything you need! If not, you can always leave a comment and we\u2019ll help you get things sorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you&#8217;re interested in more big guides like this one, I encourage you to check out our guides on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/minify-wordpress-sites-css-html-javascript\/\">How to Minify Your WordPress Site\u2019s CSS, HTML, &amp; JavaScript<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designbombs.com\/best-wordpress-hosting\/\">How to Choose a WordPress Hosting<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re learning how to make a website, I can almost promise you that as part of that quest, you\u2019re&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":23799,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[232],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-31734","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-resources","8":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.1 (Yoast SEO v26.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What is cPanel?
