changing the default administrator path in my Joomla hosting

[-=SpOoK=-]

How is possible to change the default administrator path in my Joomla hosting? At the moment I log into my administration page with this link:

http://www.mydomain.com/administrator

By security reason I want to change the word "administrator" to something else.

Use File Manager from cPanel to edit defines.php file. The file is located in

public_html/includes/

folder. Find this line

define( 'JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR',     JPATH_ROOT.DS.'administrator' );

and change 'administrator' to whatever you like.

My favourite way to make some secure URL is to use the opportunity of cPanel for Password Protect Directories. Set up a title name there and then protect the Joomla administrator directory with username and password. The cPanel hosting customers always have at least one advantage over the other.
