When you first register at netOxide.co.uk you receive a user name and password that gives you access to the customer control panel and allows you to order domains and web hosting, access your invoice history and check when services are due for renewal.

When you purchase web hosting for a domain, you access the website’s control panel by going to my.netoxide.co.uk and entering the domain name and password.

By default, the domain password is set to a highly secure password, and although the ability for you to change this password is available, it is recommended that you keep it unchanged.

However, this does mean you have a complicated password to remember, and if you host more than one site with us, it can soon get unmanageable.  You can, however, in the customer control panel, view a list of all the sites you have hosted with netOxide.  Clicking the name, takes you directly to the individual site and logs you into the site control panel.

Thus you can maintain security and still have a single point of login.
