Control Panel

cPanel, our website control panel interface, is designed for website owners. It simplifies tasks such as:

• Uploading and managing web pages;
• Creating email accounts;
• Installing web-based applications like blogs, shopping carts, and forums;
• Backing up data;
• Protecting a site’s content and bandwidth from abuse;
• Generating and viewing statistics about visitors; and
• Reviewing error logs to locate broken links and other problems.

Managing a website with cPanel

The most important part of a website owner’s job is creating, uploading, and editing web pages. In cPanel, a site owner has several options for managing content. He or she can:

• Easily upload and manage web pages in cPanel’s File Manager.
• Use cPanel’s Web Disk feature to drag and drop files into the customer’s account.
• Use traditional file transfer methods (including FTP, SFTP, and FTPS).
• Create additional FTP accounts for employees.

cPanel provides comprehensive email management

Website owners can use cPanel to create email accounts associated with a website. cPanel supports the standard mail protocols, including POP, IMAP, and SMTP, both with and without SSL encryption.

cPanel provides a web-based interface for checking email, so account holders can access mail at any time, from any computer with a web browser. cPanel also supports the latest email technologies to ensure messages reach the intended destination.

cPanel users can set up email forwarding, which allows account holders to have an address at one domain (such as webmaster@cpanelexample.com) forward incoming messages to another (such as your-name@example.com). This can also be useful to businesses that need to route email to an employee’s BlackBerry® or other mobile device.

For power users, mail filtering and mailing lists are available.

cPanel is easy to use

To minimize setup time, cPanel includes a Getting Started Wizard, which walks new users through the initial configuration of an account. Users also have access to built-in video tutorials and on-screen documentation, for step-by-step instructions and other useful information.
