https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-do-i-sign-in-to-my-hestiacp-panel

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "HestiaCP is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Open the link in the **Panel address** row. Enter the details from the **Login** and **Password** rows.

## Your first site

1. Point your domain's A record to your server's IP address.
2. On the **Web** tab, click **Add Web Domain** and type your domain.
3. Edit the domain and turn on **Enable SSL** and **Use Let's Encrypt**.

Upload your files over SFTP to `/home/yonetici/web/yourdomain.com/public_html`.

## Good to know

- The panel runs on port **8083**. Web, mail, FTP and DNS ports are open, and you manage the firewall in the **Server** section.
- ClamAV and SpamAssassin are left out to keep memory use low.
- If you plan to send email, remember to add your domain's MX and SPF records.

**No server yet?** [Order a server with HestiaCP installed](https://www.seturack.com/en/hestia-vps): you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
