cPanel’s WebHost Manager is a simple and intuitive Web-based control panel that you can use to manage your server. More specifically, you can use WebHost Manager to set up a domain, DNS, and email on your dedicated server.
Make sure you have your IP address ready before you try to log in to WebHost Manager. You’ll need to use your IP address to access this control panel on your server. You can find the IP address to your server in your Dedicated or Virtual Dedicated Hosting Manager.
To Access Your Dedicated Server Using cPanel’s WebHost Manager
- Open a Web browser and go to:
- When the WebHost Manager login prompt displays, enter root as your user name. Enter the password you defined when you set up your dedicated server account.
- Click OK.
