Accessing Your cPanel
After your Braysons Host account is activated, you will receive a welcome email containing your cPanel username, password, and login URL.
Step 1 — Find Your Login URL
Your cPanel URL follows this format:
https://yourdomain.co.ke:2083
Or use the direct server URL provided in your welcome email (e.g., https://server1.braysons.co.ke:2083).
Step 2 — Enter Your Credentials
- Open the URL in your browser
- Enter the username and password from your welcome email
- Click Log In
Tip: Bookmark your cPanel URL so you can access it quickly in future.
Step 3 — Secure Your Account Immediately
Once logged in:
- Change your password under Preferences → Password & Security
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for added security
- Note your Home Directory path (e.g.,
/home/yourusername)
What to Do Next
From cPanel you can:
- Upload your website files via File Manager
- Create databases under MySQL Databases
- Set up email accounts under Email Accounts
- Install WordPress via Softaculous Apps Installer
Trouble Logging In?
If you cannot log in, check:
- Your internet connection is not blocking port 2083
- You are using the correct username (not your email address)
- Caps Lock is off — passwords are case-sensitive
