So you've order your hosting, paid the invoice and got your Welcome email come through.

The question is, what next, we hear you ask.

Simple...

Within your welcome email, you should see an IP, it may look something like this: 195.12.48.105, you can of course access your control through your domain, but we will of course come to that shortly.

Once you have found the IP here is what to put in your browser:

https://195.12.48.105:2083 - of course the IP will be different depending on the server you are on. Notice that the connection is https:// - this means that you are login to a secure platform. We force this to every single one of our servers in the shared platform, this of course means, that those nasty people out there can't get your login details. Once you hit return/enter login boxes will appear, input the login details from your welcome email and hey presto.

If your domain has propagated to the SAR Hosting network, you can of course use your domain to access your control panel as well. Simply use http://domain.co.uk/cpanel - notice unfortunately, this is not https:// just http:// we can make it secure for you, but you will require an SSL certificate.

We always recommend using the IP way to login as this is a forced SSL connection. If you have any questions and or trouble login contact our support department: support@sar-hosting.co.uk
