# Managing your website files in the Hosting Panel

> Learn how to manage your website files from one convenient interface in the Webcentral Hosting Panel.

Some newer hosting accounts use an administration interface directly within the Webcentral Hosting Panel. Unlike cPanel, there is no separate login — you just log in to your Webcentral account at [https://theconsole.webcentral.au](https://theconsole.webcentral.au) and control your web site, email, and WordPress from one unified interface.

This article provides an overview on how to use this administration interface to manage your website files. It applies to the following account types:

* Mini Web Hosting
* Starter Web Hosting
* Plus Web Hosting
* Pro Web Hosting
* Max Web Hosting
* Hosting for WordPress
