When buying new hosting do I have to use a domain name for cpanel/logging in?

A lot of my domains are transient and the domain it asks for will often have long expired and be something I no longer work with. Why do you have to use domain names to deal with hosting?
I mean why can you just login with username and password like everything else on the net? I mean it can't be because the account has to be tied to the domain because as I said above those domains long expire and I still keep using the login details to login to the hosting.
So is there a way to have something generic for logging in?
So like I would sign up to hosting with 'fluffypinkelephants.com' because I was working with that niche at the time of buying the domain but that work long finishes and domain expired yet I still have to sign into the hosting with 'fluffypinkelephants.com' and also all addon domains have that as root for the whole time I use that hosting. How to have something neutral and generic?

Depend on billing & provisioning system, WHMCS and Blesta use it. If your provider use another billing system then maybe they will not ask for a domain name
it's not gonna reject your signup if you use djjdajdsjd.com or something
you can still add on domains
You don't have to use a valid name usually, though if cPanel is going to hang off that domain it is worth using a real one for HTTPS purposes.
You could register a neutral domain and use that, or sub-domains off that if you prefer (sub-domains are a good idea if as above you end up logging into cPanel using that name rather than a name used by the host), and keep that name around for ever. I use nogoodnamesareleft.com for that purpose, and for the name server addresses for my other domains (though not for cPanel/similar, all my hosted resources are self-managed bare boxes or VMS these days).
If you don't you end up with this:
"youporn-dontuserealdomainsyoudontown.com"
You could always use the IP address to login.
It's could be ip and hostname as well for login cpanel
get an eu.org free subdomain and just redirect domains to hosting.
