cPanel is a hosting control panel that allows you to easily manage your hosting account and website. You can log into cPanel both via your domain name or your domain’s IP address.

If your domain has already propagated, which usually takes 24-48 hours, you can access it through your domain name. Otherwise, use your domain’s IP address.

Given below are specific instructions to help you login to cPanel;
