How to access cPanel from your Trinico Cloud dashboard
On this page
cPanel is the control panel where you manage your hosting account - e-mail addresses, files, databases, backups and security. Trinico Cloud single-signs you into cPanel from your client-area dashboard, so you do not need to remember a separate cPanel password.
The single-sign-on route (recommended)
- Log in to your Trinico Cloud client area at clientarea.php
- Click Services in the top navigation, then choose your hosting plan from the list (e.g. "cPanel Website Hosting - yourdomain.co.za").
- On the service detail page, scroll to Quick Shortcuts and click Login to cPanel. A new tab opens with you already logged in - no extra password required.
The direct-URL route (for bookmarks)
If you prefer to bookmark cPanel directly (or your single-sign-on session has expired), every Trinico Cloud cPanel account is accessible at:
- https://yourdomain.co.za/cpanel - works once your domain is pointed at our nameservers and SSL is issued.
- https://server-hostname:2083 - works immediately, even before your domain has propagated. The hostname appears on your welcome e-mail.
Your username and password are in the New Account Information e-mail we sent when your hosting was activated. If you cannot find it, you can reset the cPanel password from the same Service page in your client area - look for Change Password under Quick Shortcuts.
Inside cPanel - the most-used sections
- E-mail Accounts - create and manage mailboxes on your domain.
- File Manager - upload, edit and delete website files in your browser.
- MySQL Databases - create databases for WordPress and other apps.
- Backups - download or restore from daily backups.
- Softaculous Apps Installer - one-click install for WordPress, Joomla, Magento and 400+ other apps.
- Sitejet Builder - the free drag-and-drop website builder included on every plan.
- SSL/TLS Status - your free SSL certificates and renewal status.
