Giving Access to Developers

Giving Access to Developers

 

There are several options available to you about how a developer may access your website in the event that you need to provide them access in order for them to construct or maintain it. Before we begin, we advise you to always create a backup of your website and save it to your own computer before granting anyone access to it. In this manner, you may restore your website to its previous state in the event that something goes wrong with it. It's also important to remember that giving them your billing portal login information gives them total authority over your whole Create account and might result in account lockout.

cPanel

Giving a developer access to cPanel is the most popular method of giving them access since it gives them full access to all the resources they could need to create a website. The primary use of this is to enable them to install any website building tool on your domain that they require. If you host numerous sites and just want to grant access to one, this option is not advised since it would grant access to all of your sites that are under the cPanel. Remember that there is only one login username and password if you intend to grant access via cPanel, but you may modify it at any moment using your billing portal.

 

CMS

Another choice is to grant the developer access to the site's administration tools by creating a user for them in the content management system (CMS). Using the same login URL, this option will grant access to the developing tools solely for that specific website. WordPress is one content management system that allows you to create as many users as you like and restrict each user's access. Remember that this feature might not be accessible in all CMS.

 

FTP

FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, enables users to upload and download files from your website. This approach would be mostly utilized in the event that the developer has created the website on their desktop computer and need a means of uploading the site files to our server. If such upgrades are required, this will also enable them to modify the site's coding.You may decide how much access they will have to the files on your website. You may choose to grant access to all of your sites or just one of them.
