cPanel is a popular control dashboard that helps you manage your web hosting server using a human-friendly web-based interface. It’s especially popular with shared hosts, where it’s the de facto solution provided by most affordable hosting providers. Without cPanel, you would need technical knowledge to manage your websites/server. But with cPanel, you’re able to make changes using a graphical interface – no technical knowledge required.
In this article I will show you can take database backup in cPanel.
How To Access Your cPanel Dashboard

- If your site’s URL starts with http, append :2082 to the end of your domain.
- If your site’s URL starts with https, append :2083 to the end of your domain.
