For existing Hostinger account holders, the process is slightly different. You’ll need to provide the client’s registered email address and submit a request to access and manage their services and make purchases on their behalf.

2. Managing Clients

Managing clients on Hostinger Pro Panel is very efficient. The tool offers you seamless access to the client grid, which displays their hosting account details and access status.

An Active access status means you have full control over the client’s hosting account and services.

Meanwhile, a Pending confirmation status indicates that the client hasn’t granted you full access yet. In such cases, we encourage you to contact the client to approve the access request so you can easily manage their account via Pro Panel.

Other than that, the section provides convenient client management features for onboarding new clients and shopping for client services.

The grid will also provide you with a Manage option for clients you have successfully onboarded. It takes you to the client’s Hostinger account, where you’ll then be able to manage the client’s purchased services and adjust their settings through hPanel.
