cPanel Web Hosting FAQs

What is the purpose of a cPanel

cPanel is a web hosting control panel that lets you manage every part of your website from a single dashboard — no coding needed.

You can upload files, create emails, install apps like WordPress, manage backups, and monitor traffic.

It simplifies web hosting for beginners and gives full control to advanced users.

How do I upload my site to cPanel?

There are two main ways to upload your site to cPanel:

a) File Manager (easiest):

  • → Log into cPanel →
  • → Go to File Manager
  • → Open the public_html folder
  • → Click Upload
  • → Select your website files.

b)FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

  • → Use an FTP tool like FileZilla
  • → Enter your cPanel login and FTP credentials
  • → Connect and upload your files to the public_html directory.

Once uploaded, your site will be live at your domain.

How much does cPanel cost?

For individual users, cPanel is usually included in your cPanelhosting plan (sharedhosting) at no extra charge.

If you’re a server admin or reseller, standalone cPanel licenses start from $27/month and vary based on the number of accounts.

But for most shared hosting users, you won’t pay anything extra.

What can I use cPanel for?

  • Install CMS platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal
  • Create and manage professional email accounts
  • Upload files, manage databases (like MySQL)
  • Install SSL certificates
  • Backup and restore your website
  • Set up domain redirects and subdomains
  • Monitor bandwidth, storage, and resource usage

Is cPanel free?

cPanel itself is not free and requires a paid license, with costs depending on factors like the number of accounts or server type (e.g., VPS or dedicated).

However, there are ways to access it without additional cost.

  • Bundled with Hosting: Many hosting providers like Truehost include cPanel at no extra charge with shared hosting plans.
  • Free Hosting Providers: Some platforms like GoogieHost or CpanelFree.com offer free hosting with cPanel, though with limitations like restricted storage or ads.
  • Free Trial: cPanel offers a 15-day trial with access to most features, but a license is required afterward.

Can cPanel be hacked?

Yes — like any software, cPanel can be hacked if not secured properly.

But with basic security practices, you can protect your cPanel account:

  • Use a strong password
  • Enable 2FA (two-factor authentication)
  • Keep all apps like WordPress updated
  • Use secure SSL (HTTPS)
  • Limit login attempts

Reputable hosts like Truehost also have firewalls and malware scanning in place to keep your site safe.

Which is better: WordPress or cPanel?

That’s like comparing a car to a garage.

  • cPanel is a control panel — where you manage your web hosting
  • WordPress is a website builder — where you create your content

You use cPanel to install and manage WordPress. So, they work together, not against each other. If you’re building a blog or site, you’ll likely install WordPress inside cPanel.

Is cPanel good for hosting?

Absolutely.
cPanel is one of the most reliable, beginner-friendly control panels in the world.

It’s used by millions globally because it’s:

  • Easy to use
  • Secure
  • Feature-rich
  • Compatible with 100+ web apps

If you’re hosting a personal blog, eCommerce store, or business site in Kenya, cPanel is one of the best choices.

How to host a website on cPanel?

Here’s how to get your website live using cPanel:

  1. Buy a hosting plan with cPanel access
  2. Log in to your cPanel account
  3. Upload files to public_html via File Manager or FTP
  4. Create a database if using platforms like WordPress
  5. Install WordPress or your CMS with 1-click installer (like Softaculous)
  6. Point your domain to your hosting account (if separate)
  7. Secure with SSL and test your site

Your site should now be live!
