Your questions, answered

cPanel hosting is a web hosting service that includes cPanel, a dashboard for managing your hosting account. You use it to look after the files, email, domains and databases behind your website without running server commands.
Your website editor handles the content visitors see. cPanel handles the hosting account that supports it.
Our WebHosting Starter plan costs Kshs 2,500.00 per year. Its three-year option costs Kshs 6,768.00 upfront, equivalent to Kshs 188.00 per month.
cPanel access is included in the hosting price. Compare plans and select a billing period to see its current total.
Log in to your Truehost client area, select your active hosting service and choose its cPanel login button.
This route opens the control panel for the selected service, so it is useful when you have several hosting accounts.
No. The client area manages your Truehost services and billing; cPanel manages one hosting account.
Opening cPanel through the client area saves you from entering a separate control-panel password.
Yes. Use the cPanel address supplied with your hosting details. A common secure address is https://yourdomain.com:2083, where you replace the example with your own domain.
Your domain needs to point to the hosting server for domain-based access to work. If it does not, use the server hostname provided with your account or open cPanel through our client area.
First check that you are using the correct login for the account you want to open. A client-area email login is different from a direct cPanel username.
For a forgotten client-area password, use the password-recovery link on the login page. Do not send your password to support.
Yes, cPanel access is included in our paid cPanel hosting plans at no separate licence charge for your shared account. You pay for the hosting plan and use the control panel supplied with it.
cPanel software itself requires a licence. If you install it on your own VPS or dedicated server, you need a suitable server licence, with the price depending on the licence tier and account allowance.
cPanel offers an eligible new server installation a 15-day trial. This is a software trial for your server, rather than a free Truehost hosting account.
Yes. We offer a Webhosting Starter Monthly product for monthly hosting. Choose its monthly billing option in the plan table to see the current charge.
A price labelled “per month” on an annual or three-year offer is a monthly equivalent. The full selected term is billed upfront. Check the billing line beneath the price before ordering.
Our WebHosting Starter plan supports ten websites, Pro supports thirty, and Unlimited offers an unlimited website allowance. Compare the storage and other resources alongside the website count.
Several websites share the resources of the same hosting account. If clients need separate accounts, compare our reseller hosting.
Yes. Our hosting includes a one-click installer for WordPress and other supported applications.
Check the installation location carefully so you do not replace an existing website.
Open File Manager in cPanel and select the folder used by your website. The main domain commonly uses public_html; check the document root for an additional domain before making changes.
Keep a copy before replacing files. Uploading an existing WordPress site also requires its database and configuration, so files alone are not a complete migration.
Yes. Our cPanel hosting plans include email accounts, automated SSL and backups. Starter and Pro include unlimited email accounts and daily backups.
Mailbox data uses hosting storage, so allow space for email as well as your website. Review available restore points before restoring a backup, especially for a site receiving orders or enquiries.
Yes. You can keep your domain at another registrar and point it to our hosting. Use the nameservers or DNS records supplied with your hosting account.
If email stays with another provider, preserve its mail records when making DNS changes. A domain registration and a hosting account are separate services.
Yes. We offer one free eligible website migration per service under our migration policy. Share the platform, size and account details needed for the transfer with our support team through the appropriate support channel.
Keep the old hosting active until the copied website has been checked. Review pages, email, forms and any checkout before changing DNS and closing the old account.
cPanel manages an individual hosting account; WHM manages hosting accounts and server-level settings.
Shared hosting suits your own websites. Choose reseller hosting when you need to manage separate client accounts.
Yes, you need a domain for customers to reach your website at your chosen address. Hosting stores your website files; the domain points visitors to that hosting account.
You can register a domain with us or use one you already own. Domain inclusion depends on the hosting plan and billing term: our Unlimited plan includes a .co.ke domain on its annual option. Compare domain prices if you need a separate registration.
Open Email Accounts in cPanel, choose your domain and create a mailbox with its own password. You can then use webmail or connect the mailbox to an email application.
If your email is hosted elsewhere, keep its existing mail records when connecting your website to our hosting.
cPanel manages your hosting account; WordPress manages your website content. They work together when you install WordPress on your cPanel hosting.
Your WordPress administrator details are separate from your cPanel and client-area credentials.
Yes, you can restore from the backup points available for your hosting account. Review the backup date and choose whether you need website files, a database or a wider account restore.
Keep a separate copy before major updates so you also have a recent recovery point for your own changes.
Upload your website into its document root using File Manager, or transfer it with an FTP client using the connection details supplied for your account. For the main domain, the folder is commonly public_html.
For WordPress or another database-driven site, also import the database and update the application’s database settings. Point your domain to the hosting account, then test the site over HTTPS.
You can use cPanel to manage the hosting services behind your website from your browser. The tools available depend on your hosting package.
For editing your website’s pages and design, use the editor supplied by your website application.
Yes, a cPanel account can be compromised if someone obtains its credentials or exploits vulnerable software associated with the account. No control panel can guarantee protection from every attack.
If you suspect unauthorised access, contact our support team promptly with your domain and the changes you observed. Change affected passwords from a trusted device.
Yes, cPanel is a practical choice when you want to manage website files, email and databases through a browser dashboard. It works with business websites, blogs and supported applications such as WordPress and WooCommerce.
The control panel does not determine the hosting capacity you need. Compare storage, website allowances and the demands of your application before choosing a plan. For custom server software or root access, compare our VPS hosting options.
Choose a cPanel hosting plan, connect your domain, then install your website application or upload your existing site. Complete the setup by checking HTTPS and testing the website.
A new WordPress installation creates its own database through the installer. An existing site migration needs both its files and its database.

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.
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.
Yes — like any software, cPanel can be hacked if not secured properly.
But with basic security practices, you can protect your cPanel account:
Reputable hosts like Truehost also have firewalls and malware scanning in place to keep your site safe.
That’s like comparing a car to a garage.
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.
Absolutely.
cPanel is one of the most reliable, beginner-friendly control panels in the world.
