Managing your website files in the Hosting Panel

Some newer hosting accounts use an administration interface directly within the hosting.com Hosting Panel. Unlike cPanel or Plesk, there is no separate login -- you just log in to your hosting.com account at https://my.hosting.com and control your web site, email, and WordPress from one unified interface.

• Starter Web Hosting
• Plus Web Hosting
• Pro Web Hosting
• Max Web Hosting
