Cpanel, What is it and how can I use it?
Your cpanel is the dashboard that helps you check your web stats, manage your email, and much more. It's easy to login and use.
You can access your cpanel by typing "https://yourdomain.com/cpanel" in your browser. Your web host provider sent you a username and password to use to
enter to access your cpanel. If you don't have this information, please contact your web host.
