# How to log in to my cPanel account?

Ex2 gives you access to two methods to access the control panel associated with your hosting account.

### Connect to cPanel via the customer area

To get started, [log in to your Ex2 account](https://help.ex2.com/en/article/how-do-i-log-in-to-my-ex2-account-1cxgxuy/?bust=1676038403647) to access the Ex2.com customer space.

On the home page of the customer area, click **My Services** to access your accommodation.

Select the hosting plan you want to access to the [cPanel](https://help.ex2.com/en/article/what-is-cpanel-vq3toz/?bust=1784206091492) account.

You will then see a new window. To the right of it, you will see a menu. In the **Actions** section, click the **Connect to cPanel** option.

You will then be redirected to your cPanel control panel. 

### Connect to cPanel via a direct connection URL

If you don’t want to use the Ex2 client space every time you want to access cPanel, you can use the connection URL directly.

To do this, you must use https://cpanel.yourdomain.com or https://yourdomain.com:2083.

You will then see a login page to your cPanel Ex2.

You must then enter the login and password that was sent to you in the welcome email.
