How do I log in to my Control Panel?

Use your own personal Secure Hosting Control Panel to administer your domain, create new email addresses, password protect directories, browse your file manager, add new MySQL Databases, manage your databases via PHPMyAdmin, etc. Login to your own personal and secure Control Panel 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by the following steps:

• Open a new browser eg Internet Explorer in the address bar at the top type the following:

https://www.yourdomainname.com:2083

Please see below:

.

IMPORTANT: You MUST type in https:// and not the normal http://

Depending on many different variables of each server, you may receive some sort of security alert at this URL. You are safe to accept the certificate warning(s) and proceed to enter the control panel area.

You will see your secure option for LOGIN to your control panel. Please refer to your welcome email for your username and password.

Please keep your password details very secure and don't give them to anyone as it is what controls your complete domain and web setup.

You should now be logged into your control panel.

NOTE: If your domain name has not yet fully propagated to our server please use the following:

https://72.29.87.11/~yourusername/

Once your Domain has fully propagated you can utilise the first address above (the one in bold).

What is Cpanel?

Cpanel is a programme our server uses to allow clients to access their personal Secure Hosting Control Panel to administer their domain, create new email addresses, password protect directories, add new MySQL Databases, manage databases via PHPMyAdmin, etc

Where do I see who has been to my website? or Web Statistics?

Part of your Hosting pack includes an extremely detailed WebStats function. This allows you to view how many hits you've had to your website, which country they have come from, what url they hit first, where they exit from, who referred them, and so much more.

It is great for simply tracking where your hits come from, or how many you get, but can also be very useful for demographics if you are planning future advertising campaigns.

These statistics are broken down in yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, right down to hourly!

You can view your website statistics (webstats) via your Hosting Control Panel. If you are unsure how to access your Hosting Control Panel please refer to our tutorial above..

• Login to your Hosting Control Panel

• Click on any Webalizer link
• This will now show a summary of your Statistics
• Click on the Month you wish to view in the Summary by Month table
• You will now see all the statistics for your website.
