Key Areas of the Hosting Dashboard
- Account Information
- Shows your domain name(s), hosting plan, and renewal dates.
- Quick links to billing and support.
- cPanel Access
- A shortcut button to log directly into cPanel without typing usernames or passwords.
- This is where you’ll manage files, emails, databases, and software installations.
- Domain Management
- Register new domains or manage existing ones.
- Update DNS records, set up subdomains, or redirect domains.
- Email Management
- Create professional email addresses (e.g., info@yourdomain.com).
