In the address bar, type in your cPanel login URL which generally appears as:
www.yourdomain.com/cpanel
cpanel.yourdomain.com
Or you can use your server’s IP address with port 2083 such as: 123.456.789.123:2083

After the log in page appears, you can now enter your cPanel username and password. Press Log In and you will proceed to the cPanel dashboard.
If you are shown if you wish to view the mobile version if available, please do so – mobile navigation is much easier!
Step 3: Using the Mobile Interface
The mobile version is simple to use. You will note a search bar at the top, and you can enter your search term (e.g. “email” or “file manager”) which will take you right there.
You may also scroll through your common tools such as:
Email Accounts

Databases
Website Usage
Step 4: (Optional) Using the cPanel Mobile App

After you have downloaded the app:
Open the app
Enter your cPanel URL, username and password
You can save your log in information for future use (useful, but not necessary)
This may be useful if you use cPanel often on your phone, or tablet..
Step 5: Securely Managing your Site as a Mobile Admin
When working as a mobile admin, it is essential to keep security in mind, particularly when accessing critical tools such as your administration tools. Be sure to remember the following:
Log out step once you have finished
Choose a strong, unique password
If the host allows it, consider using Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Implementing these steps can help protect your account from unauthorized access while likely used on public or shared networks.
