Everything about your Domain India hosting account is in one place: the Hosting page of the client area. From there you open your control panel with one click, copy your login details, point a domain at the account, change plan and renew. This page shows what is on each tab and what lives inside the control panel instead.

For the full guide

For what to manage in the client area versus the control panel, read Managing your hosting account. For every other part of the client area, see the complete client area guide.

Key takeaways

Sign in and choose Hosting › My hosting in the menu (/client/services/hosting). Click the panel button on your domain's row to open cPanel or DirectAdmin already signed in, or click Manage for the account page. Its three tabs are Overview (quick links into the panel and the records to point a domain), Access (username, server IP, panel URL and Reset password) and Plan & billing (billing cycle, renewal date, Change plan, Renew now).

1. Find your hosting accounts

  1. Sign in
    at the client area.
  2. Choose Hosting › My hosting
    in the menu. Every hosting account is listed with its domain, plan and status.
  3. Open the panel, or the account.
    The button on the row is labelled after your control panel and opens it in a new tab once the account is Active. Click Manage to see the account page.

2. What the account page shows

The top of the page lists the Plan, Panel, Billing cycle, Server IP, Renews date and Since date. On an active account the main button reads Open cPanel (or your panel's name), with Change plan and Reset password beside it. If the account is waiting for payment, the main button reads Pay now instead.

TabWhat you find there
OverviewQuick access buttons for File Manager, Databases, Email Accounts and SSL/TLS, which open those tools in your panel; and "Point a domain to this hosting", with the nameservers (Option 1) or the A records for @ and www (Option 2)
AccessThe Login details card: control panel, username, server IP and panel URL, each with a copy button, and Reset password
Plan & billingPlan, billing cycle, renewal date, payment status, any scheduled plan change, Change plan and Renew now
Hosting account page: Change plan, Reset password and Open cPanel buttons, a Plan, Panel, Billing, Server IP, Renews, Since strip, three tabs, Quick access tiles
The account page: Overview, Access and Plan & billing tabs

A new account can also show Setting up your account (it usually finishes within a few minutes; click Refresh) or Awaiting activation (activation can take up to 24 hours, and you get an email when the account is ready).

Webuzo accounts

On Webuzo, the panel button opens the Webuzo login page rather than signing you in, and the client area's Reset password does not work yet. For a new Webuzo password, contact support by live chat or a ticket.

3. What you manage inside the control panel

Files, email accounts, databases, SSL certificates, backups, cron jobs and PHP versions are all managed in the panel, not the client area. So is your resource usage: in cPanel it is under Metrics › Resource Usage; see Check hosting resource usage. On cPanel and DirectAdmin, JetBackup takes a weekly backup (on Sunday, keeping 5 copies) that you can restore or download; see Backup and restore with JetBackup.

SSH, Node.js and Python. 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, and log in with an SSH key. See enabling jailed SSH. On cPanel, Node.js and Python apps run through Setup Node.js App and Setup Python App; see deploying a Node.js app. On Webuzo, ask support.
