Logging in to cPanel
- Through the Client Area (easiest): log in at ashhost.co.nz/clientarea.php, open your hosting service and use any of the Quick Shortcuts (such as File Manager or Email Accounts) – you'll be logged in to cPanel automatically.
- Directly: go to https://host.ashhost.co.nz:2083 and use the cPanel username and password from your welcome email.

What you can do in cPanel
- Create email accounts, forwarders and autoresponders
- Install WordPress and other apps in one click
- Create databases and manage them in phpMyAdmin
- Manage files, subdomains, addon domains and SSL certificates
- Back up and restore your website

File permissions: folders should be 755 and files 644. Never use 777 – it's a security risk and our server will refuse to run files with those permissions.
