I checked some other threads and it seems that i should receive a separate email with a cPanel username? So far I haven't received one (it's been about 45minutes) and have no idea what it is. Any thoughts?
Have you signed up for a hosting account yet? I think you've only signed up to the forums, but forums accounts and cPanel accounts require two seperate registrations. Go to http://x10hosting.com/hosting to choose a package and set up your account.
