Webuzo is the control panel on DignityHost web hosting, WordPress hosting and MERN plans that run on our Webuzo servers. It gives you a browser-based place to manage domains, email, databases, SSL, backups and Node.js applications.
Open it from your client area (recommended)
- Sign in at my.dignityhost.com.
- Go to Services → My Services and open your hosting package.
- Click Login to Webuzo Enduser. The panel opens in a new tab and you are signed in automatically.
Open it with a direct address
| Address | Notes |
|---|---|
https://yourdomain.com:2005 | Secure end-user panel (HTTPS). Use this one. |
http://yourdomain.com:2004 | Unencrypted end-user panel. Avoid it on public networks. |
https://server-hostname:2005 | Use the hostname from your welcome email when your domain does not point to the server yet. |
Sign in with the Webuzo username and password from your welcome email. Ports 2002 and 2003 belong to the server administrator and do not accept customer logins.

If you cannot sign in
| Symptom | What to try |
|---|---|
| The page does not load | Port 2005 may be blocked on your network. Try mobile data, a VPN or the client-area button. |
| "Invalid username or password" | Use the Webuzo username from the welcome email (not your email address). Reset the password from the service page in the client area. |
| Security warning about the certificate | You used the server IP address. Use your domain or the server hostname so the name matches the certificate. |
| Asked for a verification code | Two-factor authentication is on. Use your app, or an emergency code if the phone is lost. |
| You were logged out quickly | Sessions expire after inactivity. Sign in again from the client area. |
First things to do after you sign in
- Turn on Two-Factor Authentication.
- Add your domain under Domain Management and point its DNS to the server (see DNS propagation).
- Install the free SSL certificate under Automatic SSL.
- Check your backups tool so you know where restores happen.
Frequently asked questions
Is my Webuzo password the same as my client-area password?
No. The client area handles billing and services; Webuzo manages the website itself. Reset the Webuzo password from the service page in the client area if you lose it.
Can I use the panel on my phone?
Yes. The end-user theme is responsive, but file editing and SSH are easier on a computer.
Webuzo or cPanel: which do I have?
The plan page lists the control panel. Most DignityHost MERN, starter web and WordPress plans use Webuzo; BDIX, email and larger cPanel plans use cPanel.
