Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a shared hosting account from Webhost.Berlin! This article will help you get started configuring your web site.
Welcome e-mail
After you purchase a shared hosting package from Webhost.Berlin, you receive an e-mail message when account setup is complete. This message provides the following important information:
- Your domain name and website URLs.

You must log in to the Webhost.Berlin Customer Portal to view your SSH password. For more information about how to use the Customer Portal, please see these articles.
Configuring name server settings
For your web site to work correctly, you must configure your domain name (for example, example.com) to use Webhost.Berlin's name servers. For more information about how to set a domain's name servers to point to Webhost.Berlin, please see this article.
Managing your web site with cPanel
cPanel is Webhost.Berlin's preferred management interface, and you can use it to control all aspects of your web site. For more information about how to use cPanel to manage your web site, please see these articles.
Accessing your account
You can access your account in a number ways: SSH (Secure Shell), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and more. For information about how to access your account, please see these articles.
Setting up e-mail
E-mail is an important part of running a web site, and cPanel makes it easy to set up and manage accounts. For more information about how to set up e-mail accounts for your domain, please see this article.
Publishing your web site
To publish web site files and make them publicly viewable, upload them to your account's public_html directory. You can update your web site files whenever you want. However, please note that any files you upload that are not in the public_html directory (or in a subdirectory beneath public_html) are not publicly viewable.
If you already have a web site with another hosting provider and are moving it to Webhost.Berlin, you may want to migrate your web site data to your new account. For information about how to do this, please see these articles.
Securing your web site
Security is an important part of maintaining a web site. For information about how to help secure your web site, e-mail accounts, and more, please see these articles.
