Your WPX Control Panel is designed to be fast and responsive, to make the whole process of managing sites and domains easy for you.
When you log in to your WPX account, you will immediately see a general overview of your WPX account status, including any unpaid invoices that may need attention. This is essentially the Dashboard that contains your main details such as your WordPress Hosting Plan(s) specifics and any domains that you may have registered with us.
In this article, we will make an overview of the WPX hosting panel. Let’s start!
First, you need to log in to your WPX account here.
WPX Main menu
When you log in to the WPX Dashboard you will see the options for your WPX hosting account in the main menu (1). Also, you can search for more useful knowledgebase articles (2) once you log in.
The search bar will make suggestions based on what you type in.

Let’s take a look at the main menu.
- Dashboard
- My Services
- My Account
- Support
- Migrations
You can use this button to go back to your WPX dashboard. The dashboard sums up your services with WPX.
This menu contains your hosting packages and the domains that you have with WPX. In this article, we will focus more on the two submenus – WordPress Hosting and Domains.
All details for your WPX account such as your Account details, additional contacts, invoices, and more. You can find more information about your account menu here.
The Support menu has the options to open a new support ticket, check your support tickets, or navigate to the homepage of WPX knowledge base.
You can directly open a new migration request from this menu. More information on migrations and how to start one can be found in the Migrations section in our knowledge base.
