We provide two methods of access to your Hosting Control Panel:

  1. Via your Webnames account (does not require additional username or password)

  2. Directly (which requires use of a separate username and password)

VIA YOUR WEBNAMES.CA ACCOUNT

  1. Within your Webnames account, browse to My Account > Manage > Web Hosting menu or:

  2. Click on your domain name, if necessary.

  3. Under the Hosting Logins section in the bottom right, click the Hosting Control Panel LOGIN button.

Additionally, you can share these credentials with third-party collaborators like web designers without sharing your primary Webnames account details, enhancing security and efficiency.

NOTE: Both your Hosting Control Panel and FTP login credentials can also be reset on this same page.

DIRECT ACCESS

  1. Click or browse to: http://adminmywebsite.ca

  2. Type the domain name, login name provided to you in your Hosting Welcome Email as well as your password into the Sign In form. Note that this username and password is not your Webnames account username and password.

  3. Click Sign In.

This direct method is particularly beneficial when granting access to third-party collaborators such as developers, ensuring they can work without the need for primary Webnames account details.

Note: This login information can also be updated or reset via your Webnames.ca account.

When updating credentials, it is crucial to consider security implications, such as using unique and strong passwords and minimizing shared access.

Note: That Webnames.ca provides hosting via Plesk as opposed to cPanel.
