Step-by-Step Setup

1

Complete Your Subscription

After selecting your hosting plan and completing payment, you'll receive an email with your account credentials. Check your inbox (and spam folder) for an email from EGPHP.

2

Access EGPNL Control Panel

Log in to your EGPNL dashboard using the credentials provided in your welcome email. The control panel is your central hub for managing domains, databases, SSL, and more.

3

Add Your Domain

Navigate to the "Domains" section and add your domain name. If you don't have a domain yet, you can purchase one or use a temporary subdomain to test your site.

4

Configure DNS

Point your domain's nameservers to EGPHP or add the provided A record to your domain registrar. DNS changes typically take 24-48 hours to propagate globally.

5

Upload Your Website

Use FTP, SFTP, or the built-in file manager to upload your website files. If you're using WordPress, you can install it with one click from the EGPNL dashboard.

6

Enable SSL Certificate

Secure your website with a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Go to SSL section in EGPNL and click "Issue Certificate" for your domain.
