how to change password in cpanel

It is recommended to change your password at least once a month to ensure maximum security and prevent hacking.

Besides, your password strength plays a big role too.

A strong password which is alphanumeric (contains both letters and numbers) also reduces the risk of hacking.

On the contrary, a weak password is prone to hacking, leading to loss of important information.

To change your password and replace with a strong one, simply follow the below steps:

 

cpanel login
1. Log into your cPanel account. The Menu page will appear after login.

 

click change password in cpanel dashboard
2. Under “Preferences”, look for “Change Password”.

Click on it and you will be taken to the “Change Password” page.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) in short, is a network protocol used to transfer data packets from one node to another via the Internet.

Hence, it allows you to transfer files between two or more computers through a network.

It is built on a client-server architecture with distinct controls and data connections between the client and server.

 

Transferring any files with FTP requires a client/program, which establishes a connection to a remote computer via specific software.

The client can choose to send and/or receive the files.

A username and password managed by the admin of the server are required for the connection to the FTP.

However, there are public FTPs which allow a special exemption that accepts a username of “anonymous”.

Lastly, there are a wide range of FTP programs, such as Filezilla, SmartFTP, gFTP, etc.

Tutorial on How to Setup Your WordPress in cPanel

0

a simple way to start off your WordPress application from cPanel

WordPress has been around in the past decade and is best known for its practical and highly functional features.

Initially only popular among bloggers, today, it has turned into one of the most wanted Content Management Software (CMS) for non-blogging websites because it is user-friendly and easily manageable.

Adding new content or even rich multimedia content to your website is a breeze.

Here are a few simple steps to get you started by first installing WordPress in your cPanel through Softaculous.

7 Steps to Setup WordPress in cPanel

Step 1

select Softaculous from cPanel

After logging into your cPanel account, you will see a list of available options.

Under ‘Software/Services’, select Softaculous to go to various Installation preferences.  

Step 2

Choose WordPress from Softaculous

When you see the Softaculous site, you’ll usually see the WordPress icon displayed under ‘Top Scripts’.

If you cannot find the WordPress icon here, search for it at the Left Panel under ‘Blogs’.  

Step 3

WordPress installation page in Softaculous

Selecting the WordPress Icon in Step 2 will direct you to the Installation page, which displays the details of the current WordPress version and the latest change log.

You can explore by going through ‘Features’ or ‘Demos’ on the top navigation bar which display more in-depth information and hands-on experience regarding the app.

To go straight to the installation, simply click the Install button to begin the Installation process.  

Step 4 (a)

WordPress Installation in softaculous

Next, a series of empty fields will appear.

Fill out all the necessary information.

Initially, you can leave “Choose Protocol”, “In Directory”, “Database Name” and “Database Settings” as Defaults, unless it involves Technical Modifications.

The “Choose Domain” section allows you to choose the specific domain for this WordPress App.

For starters, you’ll be only to choose one domain in the list. 

Extras: You can also create Sub-domains such as [email protected], and WordPress can have it pointed to the sub-domain when you select it.  

Step 4 (b)

WordPress site setting, admin account in Softaculous

As you move forward, you’ll see ‘Site Settings’.

Modify the Name and Description to suit the characteristics of your website.

(For example, go for ‘MyCar’ if your website is about cars).

Next, proceed to ‘Admin Account’.

Use the Password Generator (Key Icon) to generate a Safe-level Password.

You can also select your favourite language at ‘Choose Language’.  

Step 4 (c)

Softaculous WordPress configuration

Limit the Login Attempts if you wish to reduce the chances of having Malicious Attacks on your website (i.e. Brute Force).

Adjust the ‘Advanced Options’ such as Auto Upgrade or Backups.

However, it’s recommended to enable them for the safety of your website.  

Step 4 (d)

select a theme for WordPress

Eventually, you’ll get to the ‘Theme’ section which has a series of awesome templates.

The selection is wide and it ranges from Modern to Retro designs.

Choose the One which best suits your liking.

The most important part is ‘Email Installation Details’.

Make sure you enter your email address right as all the Installation details such as URLs and passwords will be sent to this email.  

Step 5

WordPress installation completed

A confirmation indicating that the installation is completed will appear.

Two URLs will be given; one for Admin Access and another one for the website or your visitors.  

Step 6

WordPress admin login

The Admin Access is for your WordPress Login page.

You must key in the Username and Password in order to proceed.  

Step 7

WordPress login dashboard

You’ll then be brought to the ‘Dashboard’ of WordPress, where you can manage your content or add-in additional plug-ins for better user experience.
