How They Work Together
When you purchase hosting from dotCanada.com:
- Your account is created in WHMCS (billing system)
- Your hosting package is provisioned through cPanel (hosting management)
- You can log in to WHMCS to manage billing and services
- You can log in to cPanel to manage your website and related services
Tip: You can access your cPanel directly from the WHMCS Client Area by going to Services > My Services and clicking the Login to cPanel button next to your hosting package.
