Logging in to cPanel
by AndyMac
cPanel is the back end to your website. This is where you can go to upload or move files, manage e-mail addresses, and many other things. This is not where to go to manage your Joomla or WordPress website. See our links under Joomla and WordPress for that information.
Let’s assume your domain is named “www.mydomain.com”. To log in to cpanel, simply type the following in your web browser’s address bar:
www.mydomain.com/cpanel
That’s it! Log in using your user name given to you by HostIGR when you created your website and your password. If you can’t remember those, feel free to contact us and request that information.
(we do not have access to your password and will have to reset it if you request it from us … we will only send password to the e-mail address on file that created the account)Webmail

So now that I’ve got a hosting account and an e-mail account, how do I use my webmail?
You’ll find it’s really not that hard at all to be able to check your e-mail from any computer with internet access!
Let’s say your domain is called “mydomain.com”. To get to your webmail, simply type the following in your web browser’s address bar:
http://webmail.mydomain.com
From there, you will be promped for your username and password. Remember, your username is your <strong>entire e-mail address</strong>! Your password is the password you set for that e-mail account, not the password for the entire site.
Once you’ve gotten this far, you will be asked which kind of webmail client you prefer to use. I generally use SquirrelMail, but they’re all good clients. Just click on the one you prefer, and you should be right in there checking your e-mail.
