2. **Enter the Login URL**:
- Type the cPanel login URL into the browser’s address bar and press Enter.
#### Step 3: Enter Your Login Credentials
1. **Input Your Username and Password**:
- You will be prompted to enter your cPanel username and password.
- These credentials are typically provided by your hosting provider. If you don’t have them, check your hosting welcome email or contact support.
2. **Click "Log in"**:
- After entering your credentials, click the "Log in" button to access your cPanel account.
#### Step 4: Navigate Your cPanel Dashboard
1. **Explore cPanel Features**:

### Additional Tips
- **Secure Your Login**:
- Ensure that you use a secure connection (https://) when logging into cPanel to protect your credentials.
- **Lost Credentials**:
- If you forget your cPanel login details, use the “Forgot Password” link on the login page (if available) or contact your hosting provider’s support team for assistance.
- **Direct Access from Hosting Provider**:
- Some hosting providers offer a “Login to cPanel” button directly from their customer portal, which might automatically log you in without needing separate credentials.
By following these steps, you can easily log into your hosting cPanel and begin managing your website and hosting features.
