Your home directory is the top folder of your hosting account. Everything in the account is inside it: websites, email, logs and settings.

On our Linux hosting it is /home/USERNAME (on some servers /home2/ or similar), where USERNAME is your cPanel username. cPanel shows the exact path under Home Directory in the General Information panel.

Main folders

  • public_html: your main website (also reachable as www).
  • mail: your mailboxes.
  • logs: archived access logs.
  • etc and .cpanel: account settings; do not change them by hand.
