How to Use Website Home in CyberPanel

The Website Home workspace brings the controls for one website into a single screen. Use it after creating a website to work with files, domains, DNS, email, databases, backups, deployment tools, and site settings.

If the website does not exist yet, start with How to Create a Website in CyberPanel.

Step 1: Open Websites

Sign in to CyberPanel and select Websites in the left sidebar.

Open the website list.

Step 2: Open the website workspace

Find the required domain and select Manage. The row also provides direct links to full settings, File Manager, modify, suspend, and delete actions. Expand the row to review status, IP address, PHP version, disk use, package, owner, and SSL state.

Select Manage for the website you want to work with.

Step 3: Use the Overview

The header shows the domain, active or suspended state, PHP version, SSL state, and package. Select Visit to open the public website or Full Settings for PHP, configuration files, logs, rewrite rules, cron jobs, and other detailed settings.

The Overview tab contains shortcuts for Site Settings, File Manager, SSL, DNS, Email, and Backups.

Step 4: Manage files and access

Open Files for these tools:

  • File Manager: browse, upload, edit, move, and remove website files.
  • SSH Access: manage SSH keys and open the web terminal where permitted.
  • FTP Accounts: create and maintain restricted FTP access. See How to Create an FTP Account in CyberPanel.
Be careful: file, terminal, and FTP changes affect the live website immediately. Take a backup before replacing application files or changing ownership and permissions.

Open Files for File Manager, SSH, and FTP access.

Step 5: Manage SSL and domains

Open SSL & Domains to issue or renew a certificate, add domain aliases, list child domains, or create a subdomain/addon domain. DNS for every added domain must point to the server before a trusted certificate can be issued.

For certificate requirements and troubleshooting, see How to Issue SSL in CyberPanel.

Open SSL & Domains for certificates, aliases, and child domains.

Step 6: Manage DNS

Open DNS to add, edit, or delete records in a CyberPanel DNS zone. The Cloudflare tool manages connected Cloudflare DNS, while Create DNS Zone adds a zone when one does not exist.

Check authority first: edit records at the provider hosting the domain’s authoritative nameservers. Changes made in CyberPanel will not affect public DNS when another provider is authoritative.

Open DNS for records, Cloudflare, and zone creation.

Step 7: Manage email

Open Email to view mailboxes, create an account, configure forwarding, or open Webmail. The mail domain and correct MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records are required for reliable delivery.

Follow Email Management in CyberPanel for the mailbox workflow and mail troubleshooting entry points.

Open Email for mailboxes, forwarding, and Webmail.

Step 8: Manage databases

Open Databases to list website databases, create a database and user, or launch phpMyAdmin. Export the database before a destructive schema or content change.

See Database Management in CyberPanel for the complete creation workflow.

Open Databases for MySQL databases and phpMyAdmin.

Step 9: Protect and restore the website

Open Backups to create or restore a backup, configure a schedule, or open One-Click Backups. Keep at least one current backup outside the server.

See Backup and Restore in CyberPanel before starting a restore.

Open Backups for manual, scheduled, restored, and managed backups.

Step 10: Use advanced site controls

Open Advanced for:

  • Git Deployment: connect and deploy from a Git repository.
  • Staging: create a testing copy before changing the live site.
  • SSH / Terminal: manage keys and terminal access.
  • Web Server Config: open the Apache/LiteSpeed manager available for the website.
  • Modify Website: change package, owner, administrative email, or PHP version.
  • Suspend Website: stop or resume public service without deleting its data.
  • Delete Website: permanently remove the website.
Deletion is permanent: make and download a verified backup before deleting a website. Confirm the selected domain carefully.
