How do I find my cPanel/FTP credentials?

Introduction

An FTP login contains information about the server/host address, username and password. Also, an FTP account and cPanel share the same username and password.

The cPanel and FTP access data were sent to you by e-mail. If you have lost or misplaced them, you can easily find the cPanel/FTP access data in the customer center.

What is an FTP username?

Your FTP username is a unique identifier used to access your server files through FTP clients such as FileZilla. Note: A FTP Username is NEVER a eMail address.

What is an FTP hostname?

This usually consists of the domain name assigned to your hosting package.
