Is the cPanel username the same for accessing mails or for FTP?

  • The cPanel username is NOT the same as your webmail login. To login to webmail you need to enter your full email address ([email protected])
  • The cPanel username can be used for FTP. It is the default FTP login.

Note: Any person with your cPanel password will be able to change email passwords, access your files and do just about anything with your hosting account. Share it wisely.
