Which Web Hosting platform do I use?

We operate two separate hosting platforms:

eXtend is a popular and simple platform used primarily on our basic and legacy hosting packages.

cPanel is one of the most popular Web Hosting Control Panels which has been in constant use for over 25 years. Most (but not all) hosting accounts sold since 2018 use the cPanel system.

Screenshots and login methods for each are shown below

eXtend Control Panel

You can login to eXtend by navigating to extendcp.co.uk using the username and password provided in your welcome email. Alternatively you can login via the Watch the Dot Portal

    cPanel uses themes, so the interface may look different to the one shown, but it will display the cPanel logo in the header. You can login to eXtend by navigating to yourdomain:2083 using the username and password provided in your welcome email. Alternatively you can login via the Watch the Dot Portal
