How can I find my FTP username and password?
This article will show you how to get the FTP username and password for your Hosting package.
Each domain name on your Hosting package will be assigned a different FTP username, password and, for some packages, hostname. Depending on what package you have, you can get FTP details from cPanel or your hosting control panel by following the instructions outlined below.
What is an FTP username?
Your FTP username is a unique identifier that is used to access your server files via FTP clients such as FileZilla.
What is an FTP hostname?
This will typically consist of the domain name that is associated with your Hosting package.
Select the correct article for the version of the Hosting package you are using. You can also click the Top button to return and make another selection.

Please note: When uploading to your hosting package via FTP, the root folder for your Primary Domain will be /public_html. Although addon (or secondary) domains can be mapped to any folder, their root folder will be set to public_html/your-domain.co.uk by default.
You can see your domain mappings by accessing cPanel Admin within your dashboard, followed by Domains.
On your dashboard, select Account under the heading ‘Settings’. Here you will see your FTP login details.
