TIPS & HOW-TO GUIDES

Your hosting, made simple.

New to PCS Host? Start here to manage your website, open your inbox and get comfortable with your hosting account.

These guides apply to cPanel-based accounts after hosting activation. Use the access details supplied by PCS Host; available tools and menu names may vary by plan. Replace yourdomain.com in the examples with your own domain.

01 / YOUR HOSTING CONTROL PANEL

Log in to cPanel after registration

cPanel is where you manage website files, email accounts and other hosting settings.

  1. Find your activation details. Check the email sent to your registered address, including the spam folder. You need your cPanel login URL, username and password or password-setup instructions. Registration alone does not mean hosting is activated.
  2. Open your supplied login link. When your domain points to the hosting server, the usual secure address is:https://yourdomain.com:2083The shortcut https://yourdomain.com/cpanel may also redirect to your login page.
  3. Use your cPanel credentials. Enter the hosting username and password supplied for the account, then complete two-factor authentication if enabled.
  4. Bookmark the login address. Keep the original login URL for next time, rather than a dashboard URL containing a temporary session token.
Domain not connected yet? Use the server hostname URL provided in your activation details. If you have not received it, contact support. Do not continue past a certificate warning; ask us to confirm the correct secure address.
02 / YOUR EMAIL, ANYWHERE

Open webmail directly

Read and send email in your browser without signing in to cPanel each time.

  1. Open your webmail address. For a domain pointing to your cPanel mail server, use:https://yourdomain.com:2096The shortcut https://yourdomain.com/webmail may also work.
  2. Enter your full email address. For example, you@yourdomain.com, together with that mailbox’s password—not the cPanel account password.
  3. Open your inbox. If a Webmail home screen appears, choose Open for the available mail application, such as Roundcube.
  4. Sign out when finished. This is especially useful on a shared computer. Bookmark the initial webmail address for quick access.
Already inside cPanel? Go to Email Accounts, locate your mailbox and choose Check Email. If your email is hosted elsewhere, such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, use that provider’s login instead.
EVERYDAY SHORTCUTS

A few useful tips & fixes.

Choose a topic for simple, step-by-step help.

Create your first business email address
  1. In cPanel, open Email Accounts → Create.
  2. Select your domain if more than one is available and enter a mailbox name, such as info.
  3. Set a strong password, or use the password-setup option if offered. Set a storage allowance that fits your hosting plan.
  4. Click Create, then use Check Email to open the mailbox.

Test sending and receiving a message. A new mailbox needs the domain’s mail routing and DNS records to point to the correct service.

Add your email to Outlook, Apple Mail or your phone

In Email Accounts, choose Connect Devices next to your mailbox. Use the exact server names and secure SSL/TLS settings shown there.

  • Your username is your full email address.
  • Use your mailbox password.
  • IMAP keeps mail synchronized across devices. Common secure ports are 993 for IMAP and 465 for SMTP; follow your account’s displayed settings.
  • Enable outgoing-server authentication when requested.

If webmail works but your app does not, recheck the app’s server names, password and encryption settings.

Upload your website files
  1. Open File Manager in cPanel.
  2. For the main domain, the website folder is usually public_html. For another domain, check its document root in Domains.
  3. Back up existing files before replacing them. Upload your site files, or upload a ZIP and extract it into the correct folder.
  4. Make sure the home page, usually index.html or index.php, is inside the website’s document root, not an extra nested folder.
  5. Visit your domain and check the pages, images and links. Database-driven websites also need their database and application configuration.
I cannot log in, or I forgot my password

First check which login you are using: cPanel requires the hosting username; webmail requires the full mailbox address. Check Caps Lock and remove accidental spaces.

Use a password-reset option if your server offers it. A hosting account owner can reset a mailbox password through Email Accounts → Manage; update saved passwords on all devices afterwards.

If access still fails, stop repeated attempts and contact support from your registered email address. Include your domain and the exact error, but never send your password.

My new domain or website is not opening yet

Confirm that hosting is active and your domain uses the nameservers or DNS records supplied by PCS Host. DNS changes can take time to appear because of caching.

Use your supplied server login URL while the domain is being connected. If the domain opens but shows the wrong page, check the document root and try a private browser window. Ask our team before changing DNS records used by existing email services.

My inbox is full, or messages are not arriving

Check the mailbox storage usage in Email Accounts and the total hosting storage allowance. Archive mail you need to keep before removing it, and review Trash and Spam folders.

Check the sender’s bounce message, mailbox filters and domain mail routing. If you use an external email provider, its DNS settings must be preserved. Send support the error message and approximate time of the problem so we can investigate.

Keep your account ready for recovery

Keep your registered contact email current, save credentials in a password manager and enable two-factor authentication where available. Download a backup before major website changes and store it separately from your hosting account.

Backup and restore options vary by plan. Ask support which recovery options are available before making a major change.

EMAIL REPUTATION

Spam flagged, or your domain used in phishing?

If your domain is flagged for spam, or spoofed in a phishing campaign, its DMARC sender-reputation rating can drop. Email to providers outside our local hosting network may then be rejected or sent to spam.

01 / THE FIRST TIME

Free of charge

We help secure your domain and hosting account and clean up the cause of the problem, at no cost.

02 / GETTING BACK TO NORMAL

Up to 10 days

Once resolved, your domain can send email outside our local hosting again. The international reputation record takes up to 10 days to update.

03 / IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN

$200 fee

A $200 fee is charged to the domain owner. The same up-to-10-day period applies for the international record to update.

How to avoid a repeat. Use strong, unique passwords for every mailbox, keep your website software up to date and never share passwords by email. Contact support straight away if you notice unusual mail activity.
