You manage a Domain India hosting account in two places. The client area handles the account itself: login details, the password reset, upgrades, invoices and renewals. The control panel (cPanel, DirectAdmin, Webuzo, or Plesk for Windows hosting) handles everything on the server: files, email, databases, SSL, backups and cron jobs. This page shows what lives where.
For every section of the client area, including billing, team members and security, read a complete guide to managing your account in the client area. If you are new to hosting, start with hosting basics.
Sign in to the client area and open your hosting services. The button on each row opens your control panel, and Manage › Access shows your username, server IP and panel address, with a Reset password button. Upgrades, invoices and renewals are in the client area too; files, email, databases, SSL and backups are managed inside the panel.
1. In the client area
- Sign inat the client area.
- Open your hosting services.Choose Hosting in the menu (your hosting services). Every plan is listed with its domain and status.
- Log in to the panel.The button on your domain's row signs you straight in to cPanel or DirectAdmin. On Webuzo it opens the Webuzo login page.
- Find your login details.Choose Manage, then the Access tab, for your username, server IP and panel address. Use Reset password there to set a new control panel password.
The rest of the account is also in the client area:
| Task | Where |
|---|---|
| Move to a bigger plan | Your hosting service; see upgrading your hosting package |
| Pay or download an invoice | Billing › Invoices |
| See or decline a renewal | Billing › Renewals |
| Point your domain at the hosting | Your hosting service's page shows the nameservers or server IP; see how do I change my nameservers |
| Ask for help, or anything not listed | Open a ticket |
Domain India never charges a saved card automatically. A renewal invoice is emailed up to 30 days before the due date, and the service renews only when you pay it. See how auto-renewal works.
The client area's password reset does not work for Webuzo accounts. If you use Webuzo and need a new panel password, open a ticket or use live chat.
2. Logging in to the panel directly
You can also open the panel in your browser with the address from the Access tab and your panel username and password. The ports are:
| Panel | Port |
|---|---|
| cPanel | 2083 |
| DirectAdmin | 2222 |
| Webuzo | 2003 |
| Plesk (Windows hosting) | 8443 |
Your control panel password is separate from your client area password; changing one never changes the other. See how can I change my hosting account password.
3. In the control panel
Menu names differ between panels, but all of them cover the same jobs:
- Files: File Manager, FTP accounts and disk usage. See how do I use the File Manager.
- Domains: addon domains, subdomains, redirects and the DNS zone.
- Email: mailboxes, forwarders and autoresponders. See managing your email accounts.
- Databases: MySQL databases, users and phpMyAdmin.
- Security: free SSL (AutoSSL on cPanel, Let's Encrypt on DirectAdmin), and two-factor login on cPanel.
- Software: PHP version selection, a one-click installer for WordPress and other apps, and cron jobs.
- Usage: CPU, memory and process usage against your plan's limits. See check hosting resource usage.
Backups. On cPanel and DirectAdmin, JetBackup 5 takes a weekly backup of your account (on Sunday, keeping 5 copies). You can download or restore it from JetBackup in your panel. See backup and restore with JetBackup.
SSH. Jailed SSH access is available on every shared hosting plan (cPanel, DirectAdmin, Webuzo). It is off by default; ask support to enable it for your account. Windows (Plesk) hosting has no SSH. See enabling jailed SSH.
4. Where Domain India fits
Every Domain India shared hosting plan is managed this way: one client area login for the account, and one control panel for the server side. If your site is outgrowing its plan, compare cPanel hosting plans and move up without starting again.
Frequently asked questions
