# How do I sign in to my ISPConfig panel?

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

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "ISPConfig is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Open the link in the **Panel address** row. Your browser warns about a self-signed certificate; this is your own server, so you can continue. 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 **Sites** tab, add your domain with **Add new website**.
3. Tick **SSL** and **Let's Encrypt SSL** on the same form.

## Good to know

- The panel runs on port **8080**. The firewall (ufw) is turned on during installation. If you save rules under **System, Firewall**, the panel runs the firewall from then on.
- The installation leaves out disk quotas and mailing lists. The PHP version is the one Ubuntu ships.

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