cPanel is a popular web hosting control panel that simplifies website management. With shared hosting, cPanel gives you an easy-to-use interface to manage your hosting account, email, files, databases, and more. You can easily access your website’s files, manage domain settings, set up email accounts, and perform essential tasks without needing technical expertise.

cPanel offers a range of features that make managing your shared hosting account straightforward. These include: managing files through File Manager, creating and managing email accounts, installing apps via Softaculous, managing databases with phpMyAdmin, configuring security settings, and monitoring website performance. It also allows you to set up backups, SSL certificates, and domain names.

To back up your website using cPanel, go to the 'Backup' section in cPanel. You can create full or partial backups of your website files, databases, and emails. You can also schedule automatic backups to ensure that your data is consistently backed up. Once the backup is complete, you can download it to your local computer or store it on a remote server for additional safety.

With cPanel, you can manage MySQL databases using the 'Databases' section. phpMyAdmin is available to manage database tables, run SQL queries, and perform other database-related tasks. You can also create new databases and manage their users through cPanel, making it easier to organize and interact with your website's backend data.
