Configuration and data of Advanced hosting (Cpanel)

1. Access the control panel
2. Login to AccountCenter and click on cPanel next to your primary domain.
3. Make a note of your WHM URL. This is how you will access WHM after updating your password.
4. Click “enable” located to the right of your current cPanel password. This will link you to the Root Access & Developer Tools page. Click Enable root access.
5. You will then be asked why you are changing the root password. Please note that any answer in this block is acceptable.
6. After this, you will be prompted to create a new strong password.
7. Once your password is set, return to the CPANEL DOCUMENTATION PAGE and click on the access domain.
8. A new tab or window will open. If this is the first time you are visiting the control panel from this browser, you will see a certificate warning. This is normal. Your server comes with its own certificate, rather than a purchased certificate, so the connection is secure but you’ll still see the browser warning. You must continue to the site.

Set up your server

1. You will now see the WHM login screen. Fill in your root username and password that you set up in the AccountCenter.
2. From here the settings will vary depending on the cPanel/WHM version your server is running on.
