If you have a Web or Cloud hosting plan, you have access to our user-friendly Hosting dashboard. It provides you with all the essential features to manage your hosting plan's settings, features, and resources.

Start by navigating to the Websites section of hPanel and clicking on Dashboard next to your domain:

You will be directed to the hosting dashboard. It will display information related to the selected website and the hosting plan. It's comprised of the following sections:

To see the options, click on the arrow to the left of each category. You can also use the search bar to fast access a specific option. To go back to the hosting section, click on Dashboard:

Main Options

Here, you will find shortcuts to manage the following:

  • Website and status: your website name, date of creation, and shortcut to open your website on a new tab. The green dot indicates the website is active.

  • Upgrade: upgrade your hosting plan.

  • Hosting plan: displays the name of your current plan and click on See details to check and manage your hosting, server, and FTP details.
