Web Hosting (cPanel) Guided Tour Part 4: Recap and what to do next
Our guided tour is complete! Along the way, you learned about:
- Your Web Hosting (cPanel) Dashboard. It's where you perform account-related tasks like adding more domains, viewing your server information, or changing your account passwords.
- Your WordPress Dashboard. It's where you build your website—adding pages, posts and media, changing themes, and more.
- Your cPanel Admin home page. It's where you can fine-tune advanced website settings like PHP settings and options or managing site security.
What's next?
Here's a list of important tasks to do for a great start:
