   In a separate window, the Hosting Panel automatically logs you in to your WebHost Manager account.

Logging out of WebHost Manager

You should log out whenever you have finished using WebHost Manager, because this notifies the web server that you have finished your session. If you do not log out, the server automatically closes your session after a set period of time. However, there is a small possibility that an attacker could exploit the open connection before this automatic logout occurs.

To log out of WebHost Manager, on the top menu bar click the person icon () at the top right, and then click Log Out.
