How to Login to cPanel

You can login to your cPanel using the address bar of your browser. Type in your website address followed by a colon and then 2083. Accessing your cPanel would look like this https://yoursite.com:2083.

You can also log in to your cPanel by typing in /cpanel after your website address. When you use this method to log in to your cPanel, it would look like this: https://yoursite.com/cpanel.

If you have a new website and the DNS records have not yet propagated on the server, then you can use the IP address instead. Accessing your cPanel via IP would look something like this: https://10.10.10:2083.

If you need the cPanel interface to appear in another language, then select your language from the list at the bottom of the cPanel login screen.

Before you login to cPanel, you may find it helpful to bookmark your cPanel page, so you can easily return to it later.

Once you are on the cPanel login screen, enter your username and password and click the Log In button. After that, you will be redirected to your website control panel where you will see all the settings.
