How do I sign in to my cPanel panel?
- In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
- On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "cPanel is ready". The page refreshes itself.
- The link in the Panel address row opens WHM. Your browser warns about a self-signed certificate; this is your own server, so you can continue. The user is
rootand the password is your server password from the Password row in the panel.
License
The cPanel license is not part of your order. You get it from cPanel or a reseller and attach it to this server's IP address. Trial eligibility depends on cPanel's terms. The license fee is not paid to Seturack.
Your first site
- Point your domain's A record to your server's IP address.
- In WHM, open an account with Create a New Account.
- The customer panel is on port 2083.
Good to know
- The server comes with AlmaLinux 9. WHM runs on port 2087.
- Installation adds no firewall. cPanel's documentation recommends a third party firewall such as CSF or APF after installing, and you set that up yourself.
No server yet? Order a server with cPanel installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
