The iWebVault client area at auth.iwebvault.com is the single hub for managing your account — paying invoices, accessing hosting control panels, opening support tickets, managing domains, and adjusting security settings. New customers often find the layout opaque at first because there’s a lot in there. This guide walks through every major section with what it’s for and when you’d actually use it.
Logging in
- URL: auth.iwebvault.com/clientarea.php.
- Username: the email you used to register.
- Password: from your welcome email (changeable in Security Settings).
- If 2FA enabled: enter authenticator code after password.
Forgot password? Use the reset link on the login page. Lost access to the email on file? Open a ticket from another email; identity verification will be required.
The dashboard (homepage)
After login, you land on the dashboard. Key sections visible at a glance:
- Active Services count.
- Active Domains count.
- Unpaid Invoices (if any).
- Open Tickets (if any).
- Account balance / credit (if applicable).
- Quick-action shortcuts.
Top navigation has the main menu. Most actions are 2-3 clicks from here.
Services
Services → My Services
Lists every active hosting service on your account. Each row shows: product (Shared Hosting Plus, VPS Standard, etc.), domain, status (active, suspended, terminated), and renewal date.
Click any service to access:
- Login to cPanel/DA — single-sign-on into your hosting control panel.
- Upgrade/Downgrade — change plan tier.
- Cancellation — request termination at end of billing period.
- Server details — IP, nameservers, technical info.
- Resource usage — for some plans, current usage stats.
Bookmark this section — most account management starts here.
Domains
Domains → My Domains
For domains registered through iWebVault. Each row shows: domain name, registration date, expiration date, status.
Click a domain for:
- Manage Nameservers — change DNS provider (back and forth between iWebVault DNS and external).
- Manage DNS — edit DNS records if domain uses iWebVault nameservers.
- Registrar Lock — toggle transfer lock (keep on by default to prevent unauthorized transfers).
- EPP code — get the auth code needed to transfer the domain out.
- Contact Information — registrant details. Note: WHOIS privacy keeps these private publicly.
- Renew — extend domain.
Domains registered elsewhere don’t appear here — they remain managed at their respective registrars.
Billing
Billing → My Invoices
Full history of every invoice. Status colors: green (paid), red (unpaid), grey (cancelled). Click any invoice to view details, pay, or download PDF.
Filter by status to find unpaid quickly.
Billing → My Estimates / Quotes
If we’ve sent a custom quote (typically for enterprise/custom hosting), it shows here. Accept to convert to invoice.
Billing → Payment Methods
Saved payment cards. Add, remove, update, set default. Set up auto-pay here to avoid expired-card suspension.
Billing → Account Credit
Pre-paid balance. Credit can be added here to draw against future invoices. Useful for customers who pay in advance or who have credits from downgrades or refunds.
Support
Support → My Tickets / Open Ticket
Your support history. Open new tickets here or via the public ticket form.
Closed tickets remain visible — useful for referencing previous resolutions. Reply to a closed ticket to reopen it.
Support → Network Status / Announcements
Scheduled maintenance, server status, important announcements. Check first if multiple things seem broken simultaneously — may be a known incident.
Support → Downloads
Setup guides, software, anything we’ve published for download.
Account
Top-right user menu (or “Hello, [name]” dropdown):
Account → Profile / Edit Account Details
Name, address, contact email, phone. Used for billing addresses, invoices, and registrar contact info.
Account → Change Password
Self-explanatory. Use strong unique password from password manager.
Account → Security Settings
Two-factor authentication setup. See 2FA guide. Enable this for any account controlling production hosting.
Account → Contacts / Sub-Accounts
Add team members with their own logins and granular permissions:
- Some users get billing-only access (can see invoices, can’t open support tickets).
- Some get support-only (can submit tickets on your behalf).
- Some get full access except billing.
Better than sharing a single login — each person has their own credentials, audit trail, and you can revoke individual access if someone leaves.
Account → Email History
Every email we’ve sent to your account email. Useful if you missed a notification — find it here.
Order new services
From the client area:
- Store → Order Hosting / Order Domain / Order VPS.
- Existing payment methods are pre-populated.
- Most plans provision instantly on payment.
SSO into hosting control panels
From Services → My Services → click your service, the “Login to cPanel” (or DA) button does single-sign-on. No need to remember the cPanel password separately if you only access via the client area.
(You can still log in directly with the cPanel password — useful for testing your password or accessing if the client area is unreachable for some reason.)
Common client area questions
“I see services I didn’t order.” Probably accounts for sub-services or addons we set up at provisioning (free trials, included extras). Check the names — they should make sense. If genuinely unrecognized, open a ticket.
“Where do I cancel a service?” Services → click service → Management Actions → Request Cancellation. Choose end-of-billing-period (default, finishes paid time) or immediate.
“I’m getting renewal emails but my service is paid.” Sometimes notifications lag the actual payment processing. Wait 24 hours; if emails persist, ticket us.
“How do I update the email address my notifications go to?” Account → Profile → change email. This is also the login email — changing it means future logins use the new email.
“Can my accountant get a billing-only login?” Yes. Account → Contacts → Add Contact. Set permissions to just billing-related items.

- Getting help when you need it: Support workflow.
Most of the client area you’ll only touch occasionally — services and invoices are the everyday sections. Bookmark auth.iwebvault.com/clientarea.php and you’ll naturally discover the rest as needs arise.
