Today on episode 25, Web Hosting Podcast. Some of the most common cPanel tools you will use after you signup. Did you know there is a app for cPanel access that also includes webmail? We will be going over installing, and then configuring the app which is available for both iOS and Android. cPanel App for iOS and Android. Go into your devices app store and search for cPanel. Go through the process of installing the app, like you would any other app. Before you launch the newly installed cPanel app, you will need to have your cPanel login information. The items you will need are: Domain: This is normally the website on your hosting account. Username: This is the cPanel username, not your CMS username, that you use to login to cPanel. Password: This is the cPanel password, not your CMS password, that you use to login to cPanel. You will also want to have your email address and password if you want to setup access to your webmail account in the app. Open the cPanel app that you previously installed. You are now presented with a few options to add an account, don’t worry we will be going over all of the settings you need. In the server information are three boxes, name, address, service. In the name area, give this a unique name. This can be anything you would like to identify this connection. In the address area, this is where you will put the login url you use to get into your cPanel account. This can possibly be your website url, or the server hostname. If one does not work try the other. Hopefully you were sent a welcome email when you signed up with this information. In the service, change this to cPanel. Do not use WHM or Webmail. Now in the authentication box do the following. In the username box, put in your cPanel username. In the password box, put in your cPanel password. In the touchID, if your devices supports it I would highly recommend using it. This is the same as unlocking your iPhone with a fingerprint. If you do not use touchID, then you will be asked to enter your password every time you want to connect. Once these are filled in, click on “CONNECT”. If everything went correctly, you should now have a setting that will connect, it should have logged you in. If not, check your settings and try again. Make sure you are using the correct username and password. As a diagnoses process, you can try logging into your cPanel account through a web browser first. Once you are logged in, you can now do anything you would normally do from a web browser inside cPanel. To setup webmail, click on the “+” icon to add another setup. Give this a unique name as well in the name field. In the address area, enter the address to connect to your webmail. This too will often be the domain you use for your email. In the service area, change this to webmail. In the username field enter in your full email address. This is important, the full email address including the “@” is required. In the password field enter in your password for your email address. In the touchID, if your devices supports it I would highly recommend using it. This is the same as unlocking your iPhone with a fingerprint. If you do not use touchID, then you will be asked to enter your password every time you want to connect. Once these are filled in, click on “CONNECT”. If everything went correctly, you should now have a setting that will connect, it should have logged you in. If not, check your settings and try again.

You should now be presented with a few options, depending on your web hosting provider. In my app, I am able to choose between horde, roundcube and squirrelmail. Horde is the only one that seems to be mobile friendly. All of them do work but you will have to move around on the screen to see everything. Below these options, you are presented with the mail client automatic configuration scripts, mail client manual settings and the ability to email setup instructions to a specific email address for the account you logged in with. Mail Client Automatic Configuration Scripts. This is used if you are on a desktop client and do not seem to work on a iOS/Android device. It is best to just ignore these. Mail Client Manual Settings. These are provided to you so that you may manually setup your email client of choice. These are great instructions for the do it yourselfer. The instructions provide the username, incoming and outgoing mail server, and the ports needed. Email Instructions. This allows you to email the same settings from the manual settings to a specific email address. This is handy if you have a user that has a gmail or other email account already and you would like to provide them with specific email setup information for an account you have setup for them.
