Use one-click access to the control panel assigned to your hosting service.

BEFORE YOU START

Get the right details ready

Select the correct hosting service and domain before opening cPanel. File, database, DNS and email changes can affect the live service immediately.

Security first. Never include account passwords, card details or authentication codes in a support ticket.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS

Make the change in Knox

Work through each step in order. Keep this guide open in another tab if that is easier.

  1. 1

    Open My services and select the hosting package.

  2. 2

    Choose Open cPanel in Website control centre.

  3. 3

    Knox requests a short-lived secure session from the assigned server.

  4. 4

    The session opens cPanel without displaying or transmitting your hosting password.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Check that it worked

A new tab opens cPanel on the server assigned to that specific hosting account.

IF IT DOES NOT LOOK RIGHT

Try this before contacting support

Allow pop-ups for knox.oxnames.com. The secure session expires quickly, so request a new one rather than bookmarking the cPanel session URL.
