Learn how to easily log in to your WordPress site, including the use of standard admin access, Softaculous, cPanel, Plesk, and plugins.
The WordPress dashboard is the place to administer a WordPress site. There are multiple ways you can access the dashboard at hosting.com, and this article shows you how.
ImportantMake sure your domain (for example, example.com) resolves to the server where WordPress is installed. WordPress only works correctly when the domain for which it is installed resolves to the server where it is installed.
Enter the login address into the address bar on your browser replacing example.com with your domain name. The WordPress login page can be reached at 2 different URLs:
https://example.com/wp-admin
https://example.com/wp-login.php
On the WordPress login page, enter the username and password and then click the Log In button to log in.
If WordPress was installed with Softaculous, Softaculous offers a convenient way to log in without using the WordPress password. Follow these instructions to log in via Softaculous.
Log in to cPanel.
📘 NoteIf you do not know how to log in to your cPanel account, please see this article.
Click on any Softaculous icon.
Once inside the Softaculous interface, click on the All Installations icon in the upper right corner.
On the All installations page, click the Administrator icon for the desired installation to be logged into the WordPress Dashboard.
👍 TipIf the installation of WordPress was not installed with Softaculous, it can be imported using the import feature of Softaculous. See this article for instructions to import an application to Softaculous.
