To host your website using Managed Shared Hosting comes with CWP (CentOS Web Panel) on VogueHosting, you'll need to follow these general steps:

  1. Sign Up with VogueHosting: If you haven't already, sign up for a hosting plan with VogueHosting. Make sure to choose a plan that meets your website's requirements in terms of storage, bandwidth, etc.

  2. Access Your CWP WebPanel: After signing up, you should receive login credentials for your CWP (CentOS Web Panel) control panel. Log in to your CWP control panel using the provided credentials. This is typically done by accessing your server's IP address followed by the appropriate port (2087 for HTTPS).

  3. Add Domain: Once logged in, you need to add your domain to the CWP panel. Look for options like "Domains" or "Domain Management" and follow the prompts to add your domain.

  4. Set up DNS: After adding your domain, you need to configure DNS settings to point your domain to your hosting server. If VogueHosting provides DNS management, you can do it within their control panel. Otherwise, you'll need to use the DNS management tools provided by your domain registrar and point the domain to VogueHosting's nameservers.

  5. Upload Website Files: You can upload your website files using the File Manager within the CWP panel or via FTP/SFTP. Navigate to the appropriate directory for your domain (usually public_html or www) and upload your website files.

  6. Create Databases: If your website requires a database (e.g., MySQL), you'll need to create one. Look for options like "Database Management" within the CWP panel and follow the instructions to create a new database and database user.

  7. Configure Web Server: Ensure that your web server (usually Apache or Nginx) is properly configured to serve your website files. CWP typically handles this for you, but you may need to adjust settings based on your website's requirements.

  8. Test Your Website: Once everything is set up, test your website by visiting your domain in a web browser. Ensure that everything loads correctly and that there are no errors.

  9. Regular Maintenance: Keep your website and server up to date with the latest security patches and software updates. Regularly monitor your website's performance and security.

  10. Backups: Regularly backup your website files and databases to prevent data loss in case of any unexpected issues.

If you encounter any specific issues during this process, you can refer to VogueHosting's documentation or contact their support for assistance.
