# Accessing your hosting control panel

> Learn how to access the control panel for your hosting account.

This article discusses how to access the control panel for your hosting account. The control panel enables you to quickly and easily administer your account through a convenient web browser interface.

The control panel you use depends on the type of hosting account that you have.

## Linux hosting accounts

### Managed hosting accounts

For Linux-managed hosting accounts, you use cPanel to administer your site. For information about how to access the cPanel control panel, please see [this article](/docs/accessing-cpanel).

<Note>
  Managed hosting products include:

  * **Shared hosting**

  * **Reseller hosting**

  * **Managed VPS**

  * **Managed Dedicated servers**
</Note>

### Unmanaged VPS

For an unmanaged VPS (also known as a "semi-managed" VPS), you use the Hosting Panel to administer your server. For information about how to do this, please see [this article](/docs/unmanaged-vps-quick-start-guide).

<Warning>
  **Important**

  Older unmanaged VPS products used a different administration interface, SolusVM. For information about how to access the SolusVM control panel, please see [this article](/docs/using-the-solusvm-control-panel).

## Managed WordPress hosting accounts

For Managed WordPress hosting accounts, you use cPanel to administer your site. For information about how to access the cPanel control panel, please see [this article](/docs/accessing-cpanel).
