Accessing cPanel and Webmail
There are several ways to reach your hosting control panel and webmail. The Client Area gives you one-click access without typing your cPanel password; direct URLs work if you prefer to log in straight at the server.
The Fastest Way: One-Click from the Client Area
If you log in at my.ultrawebhosting.com, you can reach cPanel or Webmail in a single click without ever typing your cPanel password.
If you have one hosting service
- Log into the Client Area.
- On the dashboard, click the Open cPanel or Webmail quick-action tile.
- You will land directly inside cPanel (logged in automatically) or at the Webmail login page for your domain.
If you have more than one hosting service
- Log into the Client Area.
- Click Open cPanel or Webmail on the dashboard, or go to Services → My Services.
- Each active service row has a cPanel and a Webmail button. Click the one you want for the service you want.
Direct URL: cPanel
If you want to log in directly at the server with your cPanel username and password, use your domain name with port 2083:
https://yourdomain.com:2083
Use the username and password from your welcome email. If you have forgotten your cPanel password, see below.
Direct URL: Webmail
Webmail is the easiest way to read and send mail without configuring a desktop client. Three URL options work:
https://yourdomain.com/webmail— works on every cPanel account, no extra DNS needed.https://webmail.yourdomain.com— works if you have awebmailA record (most accounts have this set up automatically).https://yourdomain.com:2096— port-based access, always works.
Log in with your full email address (for example you@yourdomain.com) and the password you set when creating that email account.
/webmail on your own domain uses your domain's regular SSL certificate and avoids the warning.
If Your DNS Has Not Propagated Yet
Right after signup, or right after pointing a new domain at our nameservers, DNS may not have propagated to your network yet. Use the server hostname from your welcome email instead:
https://server.ultrawebhosting.com:2083
The Client Area one-click method also works in this case, because the Client Area connects to the server directly, not by domain name.
Forgot Your cPanel Password?
You can set a new cPanel password from the Client Area:
- Log into the Client Area.
- Go to Services → My Services → click your hosting plan.
- Click Change Password in the sidebar to set a new cPanel password.
Email account passwords (for Webmail) are set inside cPanel under Email Accounts. They are separate from your cPanel login password.
Can't Connect at All?
If neither one-click nor direct URLs work, your IP address may be blocked by the server firewall. See Firewall Blocks & Connection Issues.
