What is cPanel?

cPanel is a widely-used Linux hosting control panel that simplifies website management. It's included with many hosting packages, though some providers require a separate subscription. With its graphical interface, cPanel provides an efficient way to monitor server performance and access various modules for managing Preferences, Files, Databases, Web Applications, Security, Metrics, Domains, Software, Email, and Advanced Features.

Accessing Your cPanel

To manage your website hosting with Hostyt, we offer the cPanel control panel. Here’s how you can log into your cPanel:

  1. Direct Login: Access cPanel directly by navigating to https://yourdomain.com/cpanel. You’ll need your cPanel username and password. If you encounter any login issues or need to reset your password, please contact our support team for immediate assistance.

  2. Through Your Client Area: Alternatively, log in at my.host.yt, navigate to 'Services,' select your hosting, and click on the 'Control Panel' button to access cPanel.

Getting Started with cPanel

  • Installing Software: Install software manually following installation guides, or utilize our auto-installers for ease of setup on platforms like Magento, Joomla, and WordPress.

  • Databases: Most applications, including WordPress, use databases alongside files. You can create unlimited databases manually or through auto-install software.

  • Managing Files: Manage your site's files via the public_html folder. Options include SSH, SFTP, FTP (via applications like FileZilla), or the built-in file manager.

  • SSL Certificates: Hostyt provides free SSL certificates with every hosting account, with automatic renewal and provisioning for hassle-free security.

  • Email Accounts: Create email accounts with your hosting account. These can be full mailboxes or set to forward to another address. You can also configure MX records to integrate with external providers like Office 365 or Google G Suite.

Optimization and Performance

Hostyt's hosting is configured to minimize downtime and enhance your website’s performance. While we optimize for the best site loading speeds by default, further optimizations from your end, such as updating the PHP version, can contribute to improved site performance.
