Web Hosting (cPanel) Guided Tour Part 4: Recap and what to do next

Our guided tour is complete! Along the way, you learned about:

• Your Web Hosting (cPanel) Dashboard. It's where you perform account-related tasks like adding more domains, viewing your server information, or changing your account passwords.
• Your WordPress Dashboard. It's where you build your website—adding pages, posts and media, changing themes, and more.
• Your cPanel Admin home page. It's where you can fine-tune advanced website settings like PHP settings and options or managing site security.

What's next?

Here's a list of important tasks to do for a great start:

• Install an SSL certificate: Planning an online store? Then you've got to have a secure website. Here's our path for requesting and installing an SSL certificate.
• Set up website backups: Backing up your site is a great way to protect your content and data if there's a real problem. You can set up backups yourself in cPanel, or let us handle that for you with our Website Backup service.
• Start building your site with WordPress: Check out our list of the basics you need to start building your new WordPress website.
• Move an existing website from another host to GoDaddy: You can move your existing websites automatically to Web Hosting (cPanel) if they were built with a CMS (for example, WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla).
• Find Help articles when you need them: Here's the home page for Web Hosting (cPanel) help articles.
