We provide the cPanel control panel to let you administer your website hosting with us. cPanel is a graphical interface that lets you carry out many common hosting tasks in a couple of clicks. cPanel is by far the world’s most popular hosting control panel. You may already be familiar with it already if you have had website hosting before.
Logging into cPanel
After ordering hosting with us you can log into your cPanel control panel in two ways:
-
By logging into clients.jachoos.com and navigating to
Hosting Accounts> Click the Account >Log in to cPanel. You can find an overview of the hosting details in clients.jachoos.com here. -
By logging directly into cPanel using yourdomain.com/cpanel. You will need your cPanel username and password which can be viewed and reset in the
Hosting Accountssection of clients.jachoos.com.
If you have a reseller account with JachOOs®, this gives you the ability to control multiple cPanel accounts using the WHM interface.
If you have a server with JachOOs®, you have the ability to create multiple cPanel accounts using the WHM interface, all on your own dedicated machine. Getting started with cPanel.
cPanel is an advanced piece of software and you likely won’t need all of the features. We have divided guides into the below sections.
Installing Software
There are two main ways you might like to install software. Either you will use JachOOs® auto installer Softaculous (which is recommended for most common open source software such as WordPress, Joomla & Magento), or you can install your software manually following their install guides. We provide overview guides for both, as well as specific guides for the automatic and manual install of WordPress.

- Manually installing software
- Automatic WordPress installation

Uploading and Managing Files
Web hosting has a folder structure much like on a computer. By default your website files run out of a folder called public_html. There are various ways you can manage files. You can either use the inbuilt file manager, you can use ftp or sftp through a file management application such as FileZilla, or advanced users can use SSH. Please see the following guides:
- Managing files in cPanel
- Using FTP/SFTP
- SSH Overview
- Managing Disk Usage
Databases
Databases store the data for most applications. WordPress, for instance, uses both files and database. JachOOs® hosting lets you create unlimited databases. These are automatically created if you auto-install software, but you can also add them manually and administer them. You may at some stage need to view the database content also or to make changes (for instance to force reset a WordPress password).
- Creating databases and users
- Using PHPMyAdmin
- Importing and exporting databases as SQL
- Remote database connections
Email Accounts
Every JachOOs® hosting account lets you create unlimited email accounts. These can either be full mailboxes, or can forward elsewhere. Alternatively you could set up MX record to point email to an external provider such as Google Gsuite.

SSL Certificates
At JachOOs® we provide free SSL certificates with every hosting account. In most cases, you do not need to do anything - provisioning and renewal is entirely automated. If you wish to purchase any branded SSL, it is available from our web store.
