  Hi there,

  For WordPress.com sites, different tier plans provide you with different levels of ‘control’ of the website. As you can see on the pricing page (https://wordpress.com/pricing/), the Business plan will give you SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) and Database Access.

  If you opt for a self-hosted version using WordPress.org sites, you will of course get full control of the website, as you control the hosting.

  I hope this helps!

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com is a managed host, meaning we control the server configuration and software maintenance for your site on your behalf. We have no interface equivalent to cPanel on WordPress.com.

  Can you tell me what you’re trying to do that you feel you need cPanel for? Then I can tell you whether or not there’s another way to do the same thing here, or whether you’d be better off moving to another host.
