The first hour.
LOG IN TO CPANEL
Using the details in your welcome email, or through the Client Area.
CHANGE THE PASSWORD
To something you chose and recorded securely.
POINT YOUR DOMAIN
If you registered the domain with us, nothing to do.
If it is registered elsewhere, change the nameservers there to the pair in your welcome email.
RUN AUTOSSL
cPanel > SSL/TLS Status. Tick every domain and run AutoSSL.
Wait until your domain resolves here first.
CREATE YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNTS
cPanel > Email Accounts. Create the addresses you need.
CHECK EMAIL DELIVERABILITY
cPanel > Email Deliverability. Repair SPF and DKIM if it indicates a problem.
That single step prevents most outgoing mail landing in spam.
INSTALL YOUR WEBSITE
Through Softaculous for WordPress and hundreds of other applications, or upload your own files.
SET UP BACKUPS
Decide how you will back up, and do it before you have content to lose.
