If for some reason you don&#8217;t receive your welcome email, please get in touch and we can check that everything has gone through OK.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of logging in to your hosting, the first step is to log in to the <a href=\"https:\/\/my.zalvis.com\">https:\/\/my.zalvis.com<\/a> client area. Once you have logged in here, click Services and then My Services. Your hosting package(s) will be listed here &#8211; click the one you want to log in to and then on the next page click Login to Control Panel.<\/p>\n<p>Your login credentials are stored as a secure token in this area (rather than a plaintext username and password) &#8211; if the log-in fails for any reason please get in touch and we can reset this to enable you to log in.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Email_Account\"><\/span><strong>Email Account<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve logged in to cPanel, you&#8217;ll be presented with a number of icons that enable you to manage all aspects of your hosting with Zalvis. One of the most common things to get set up straight away is Email &#8211; click Email Accounts and from here you can start setting up email addresses @yourdomain.com.<\/p>\n<p>To access your email, you can use an email client like Mac Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird, or you can use webmail. Webmail can be accessed by visiting https:\/\/webmail.[yourdomain.com]. You&#8217;ll need to log in with the mailbox username and password you created earlier. If you need any help getting set up in your email client, please let us know &#8211; we can talk you through the setup.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Installing_Applications_eg_WordPress\"><\/span><strong>Installing Applications<\/strong> (e.g. WordPress)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In cPanel, scroll down and find the icon that says <a href=\"https:\/\/zalvis.com\/docs\/installing-wordpress.html\">Softaculous Apps Installer<\/a>. Click the icon of the application you&#8217;d like to install, for example &#8211; WordPress, Magento, Prestashop, Joomla &#8211; and then the system will ask you for some more information. Click &#8216;Install&#8217; once you&#8217;ve entered that and then you&#8217;ll be able to log in to the admin area to get started with your application.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nameservers\"><\/span><strong>Nameservers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you ordered a domain from Zalvis with your hosting, your nameservers will be set automatically to link to your hosting with us.
