Basics - cPanel

The cPanel control panel

cPanel is the name of a very popular web control panel. A control panel is a web application that helps users manage their hosting accounts and websites.

Most hosting packages will come with a control panel, but if it doesn’t say “cPanel,” it’s likely a hoster-built application with a small subset of cPanel’s functionality. cPanel is much better and worth paying for.

The cPanel home page will look something like this:

cPanel Home Page

The cPanel login page will look something like this:

cPanel Login Page

The login URL for cpanel will probably look like one of these:
