The GreenGeeks dashboard is the brain for your entire setup. It is here that you will be able to build, manage, and create. You will need to have your appropriate email and password to log in to GreenGeeks. This is found in the Welcome Email that was sent to you when you finished the initial account setup.
Log in to GreenGeeks
You will be able to access your cPanel and everything else from GreenGeeks. Log in to GreenGeeks.
If by some chance you did not receive a Welcome Email, please click on the “Forgot Password” link, and if you still have issues, contact our Support Department, and we will assist you right away
Pointing Your Domain Name to GreenGeeks
If you did not register your domain name with GreenGeeks, you will need to point the domain to our hosting platform. Log in to your domain registrar’s portal and set the following recommended GreenGeeks Nameservers:
- Nameserver 1: ns1.greengeeks.net (75.2.69.7)
- Nameserver 2: ns2.greengeeks.net (99.83.188.187)
Note: GreenGeeks DNS uses Anycast technology. This means that your DNS traffic will automatically be routed to the nearest geographic location for the best performance possible.
Setting Up Your Website
Setting up your website is easy with the GreenGeeks App Installer. From your dashboard, you can install apps directly to your site quickly and easily. This includes apps like WordPress, Moodle, Joomla, and more.
To find it, click on Site and select the App Installer option on the left-hand panel.
You can also use Softaculous to install various web design apps. While the GreenGeeks App Installer is usually quicker, you still have access to everything Softaculous offers.
To find Softaculous, access your cPanel. Once there, locate the Software section and click on the Softaculous App Installer option.
