IDX vs. cPanel
Account Management Panel (IDX) and cPanel are tools used by all IDX Hosting customers. In this tutorial we’ll give you an overview on what each tool is used for and how to login. Learn more about cPanel Hosting.
Account Management Panel (IDX)

Your Account Management Panel is used primarily for managing the billing aspects of your account. Within IDX, you can do many things such as:
- Register new domain names
- Update Domain Whois Details
- Purchase SSL Certificates
Please note! Before you can login to IDX, you must first click the link within your Welcome Email to initially set your password. You will receive the Welcome Email 20 minutes after your account is confirmed by your Sales Rep or a New Account Specialist during your confirmation call.
Note: Confirmation calls typically happen within an hour of your order. However, you can call us directly to have your account confirmed right away. If you don’t receive that email, please check your spam folder for an email with a subject of Welcome to IDX Hosting!. If the email is not located within your junk / spam folder, you can have your IDX password reset link emailed to you from this page. If your new hosting account has not yet been provisioned, the reset password link will not yet work.
cPanel
cPanel allows you to control your hosting account with IDX. This includes: creating email addresses, managing email, creating MySQL databases, managing files and much more!
More help with learning cPanel can be found in our cPanel Education channel.
