What is cPanel?

cPanel is the dashboard for your web hosting account. You use it to manage files, email and databases. Modern cPanel works in a phone browser. You do not need a special app.

What you need

  • A phone or tablet with internet.
  • Your cPanel username and password. They are in your Hostvento welcome email.
  • A browser such as Chrome or Safari.

Method 1: Through the client area

  1. Open your mobile browser.
  2. Go to the Hostvento client area.
  3. Log in with your email address and password.
  4. Tap the menu icon (three lines) if the menu is hidden.
  5. Tap Services, then My Services.
  6. Tap your hosting service.
  7. Tap the button to log in to cPanel, if your plan shows one.

Method 2: Type the cPanel address

  1. Open your browser.
  2. In the address bar, type your domain followed by the cPanel port:
    https://yourdomain.com:2083
    Port 2083 is the secure door that cPanel uses. Replace yourdomain.com with your domain.
  3. Type your cPanel username and password.
  4. Tap Log in.

Tips for a small screen

  • Turn your phone sideways. A wider screen shows more.
  • Use the search box at the top of cPanel to find tools fast.

  • Pinch to zoom in on small buttons.
  • Ask your browser for the desktop site if a page looks cramped. In Chrome, open the menu and tick Desktop site.

Good jobs to do on a phone

  • Check email accounts.

  • Look at disk and bandwidth use.
  • Clear a cache or restart a service from your hosting tools.

Big jobs like uploading many files are easier on a computer.

Warning: Do not log in to cPanel over public Wi-Fi at cafes or airports unless you must. Use your mobile data instead. Always log out when you finish.

If it does not load

  • Check your internet.
  • Check that the address and port are correct.
  • Some networks block unusual ports. Try mobile data.
  • Ask Hostvento support for help if it still fails.
