How Do I Access my cPanel Hosting Dashboard?

Usually, you can access the cPanel by putting in https://yourdomain.com.au/cpanel.

If you are hosting with us, you can access your cPanel dashboard in 2 ways.

Through our Client Portal: Once logged into your Client Portal you can access your hosting cPanel environment through the "Services" tab under "My Services". Just click on the green "Active" link and you will be taken to the hosting service details. For your convenience there are Quick Shortcuts to the most commonly used sections of the cPanel.
Directly on the cPanel URL: Enter your domain and then :2083 for example http://yourdomain.com.au:2083. You will then be asked for your username and password. These details are available in the hosting service details in our client portal.

Remember that the cPanel is the brain of our hosting account. Be careful when you make any changes.

As part of our service, we include 7 days offsite backup. Get in touch ASAP if you need a backup restore (charges apply).

How do I view past invoices?

How do I give other people access to my account?

How do I Give Other People Access to My Account?

How do I give other people access to my account?

If you require other people to receive generated emails associated with your invoicing, domains or support, then you can add in a contact to your account on our client portal.

For example, if you would like the accounts team to receive copies of the invoices by email but not be bothered by support emails, you can choose to only select the invoice notification for their contact.

In addition, if you would like the contact to be able to login using their own email address (so you can restrict what they see) then you can activate the contact as a sub account.

You can select the required permissions as the master account holder to give different logons for different roles in your organisation.

Just a couple of examples where this might be useful are:

Accounts Department - you may have a accounts department who should be given access to pay invoices and place new orders while the IT department would only be given access to view current products & services and submit support requests.
IT Department - you may be have an IT contractor engaged to manage your emails and DNS, so you might like to give them access to create tickets and communicate with us, without being able to access any billing information or change account details

Be sure to also take advantage of the email preferences for a contact/sub-account so they can be used for having invoice related emails sent to additional email addresses.
