# Viewing and changing settings for shared hosting accounts

> Easily manage shared hosting settings and more on the hosting.com Hosting Panel.

This article describes how to use the hosting.com Hosting Panel to view and change settings for a cPanel hosting account.

## Viewing and changing account login settings

You can use the hosting.com Hosting Panel to view the username and change your password for your cPanel hosting account.

<Note>
  Your cPanel hosting username and password is different from the e-mail address and password that you use to log in to the hosting.com Hosting Panel. You use your cPanel hosting username and password to access cPanel, SSH, FTP, and more.

To view or change your cPanel account login settings:

1. Log in to the Hosting Panel at [https://my.hosting.com](https://my.hosting.com).
