Identifying the Issue:
- When encountering a problem in cPanel, the first step is to identify the specific issue or error message.
- Check for any error messages displayed in cPanel or on your website.

Checking Error Logs:

Verifying File and Directory Permissions:
- Incorrect file or directory permissions can cause various issues with your website.

Checking Disk Space Usage:

Reviewing DNS Settings:
- DNS (Domain Name System) settings control how domain names are translated into IP addresses.
- Check your DNS settings in cPanel to ensure they are configured correctly.
- Verify that your domain's DNS records point to the correct IP address.

Updating Software:

- Check for available updates for your website's software, including CMS (Content Management System) and plugins.
- Update software to the latest versions to resolve issues and improve security.
