Welcome to Kelma! This guide walks you through everything you see after signing up — the dashboard, your first WordPress site, connecting a domain, and the tools that keep your sites fast, secure, and backed up. By the end you will know exactly where each feature lives and what to do first.
What the Kelma Panel gives you
The Kelma Panel is your single control centre for managed WordPress hosting. Instead of juggling cPanel, a CDN dashboard, and a separate backup tool, everything is in one place: server-level caching, free SSL, daily backups, staging, database management, and one-click logins. Behind the scenes every site runs on tuned PHP-FPM, Redis object caching, and a global Cloudflare edge — so you get the speed without touching a config file.
Your dashboard at a glance
When you log in, the dashboard shows an overview of your account:
- Usage gauges — storage and bandwidth for the current period, so there are no billing surprises.
- Recent sites — jump straight back into whatever you were working on.
- Account status — your plan, trial days remaining, and quick links to billing.
- Live support — open chat with a real WordPress engineer from any screen.
Your first five minutes
- Create your first site from the Sites page — or ask us to migrate an existing one for free.
- Open it instantly on its temporary .kelma.io address while your domain is still pointing elsewhere.
- Log in to WordPress with one click using Secure Admin Login — no password to remember.
- Point your domain using the DNS records on the site overview page.
- Explore the side menu — databases, SSL, redirects, backups, and caching are all one click away.
Security and backups are already on
You do not have to configure protection — it ships on by default. Every site is fronted by a web application firewall, served over HTTPS with an automatically issued certificate, and backed up daily with one-click restores. Updates to WordPress core and plugins can be automated, and our team monitors the platform around the clock.
Getting help
Real WordPress engineers are available on live chat 24/7, in Arabic and English. You can also open a ticket from the Support section of the panel. Whether it is a plugin conflict, a migration question, or a performance tweak, you are talking to people who manage WordPress for a living — not a script.
A few habits that pay off
A little routine keeps a WordPress site healthy. Take a manual backup before any major change — a theme switch, a bulk plugin update, or a large import — so you always have a clean point to roll back to. Keep core, themes, and plugins current, since most security issues come from outdated code rather than the platform itself. Remove plugins you are not actively using; every extra plugin is more surface area to maintain. And lean on the built-in caching rather than installing a third-party cache plugin, which usually conflicts with server-level caching.
Frequently asked
Do I need a separate caching or security plugin?
No. Caching and a web application firewall run at the server level on every Kelma site, so a stacked WordPress plugin usually causes conflicts rather than gains. Start without them and only add a plugin for something the platform does not already cover.
Can I move an existing site to Kelma?
Yes — migrations are free. Our team moves your site for you, checks it on the temporary address, and only switches the domain over once everything looks right, so there is no downtime.
How many sites can I host?
It depends on your plan. Each site is isolated with its own system user and database, and the dashboard shows your storage and bandwidth so you always know where you stand.
