Control Panel Feature List
Account Management:
Backup Site
A very handy tool will allow you to download a backup
of your site. Although we have backups on site here, it
is a handy feature. Along with your regular website, you can also backup SQL databases, aliases, and filters!
Site Management:
File
Manager
Allows you to modify the files in your website in real-time
via a web based interface. You can perform many commands
such as chmod as well as actually edit the file and
save it directly to the web server.
Index Manager
The index manager will allow you to turn indexes on or off for a directory. If indexes are off, people will not be able to see what files are in a directory that lacks an index file.
Custom
Error Pages
This section lets you customize the errors that your users
will see instead of the generic server errors. You could
setup a 404 page to redirect users to your main web site
instead of the default error document.
Password Protect Directories
Web page protection is used to limit access to any directory
to users who enter a username/password. Helpful for parts of your site
you don't want anyone to see, or only want to grant access to specific people.
HotLink Protection
Hotlinking is when another web site owner links directly to one or more of your images or multimedia files and includes it on their web page. Not only is this theft of your intellectual property, you are paying for the bandwidth used by that site. CPanel can prevent hotlinking by only allowing named sites (such as your own web site) to access files on your site.
IP Deny Manager
This feature will allow you to block a range of IP addresses to prevent them from accessing your site.
Redirect URLs
This will allow you to
point a URL of your site to another URL. Helpful when moving directories from one part of your site to another.
Apache
Handlers
A "handler" is an internal Apache representation
of the action to be performed when a file is called. Generally,
files have implicit handlers, based on the file type.
Normally, all files are simply served by the server, but
certain file types are "handled" separately.
Search Engine Submit
This tool allows you to submit your site
to various search engines.
Disk Usage Viewer
See how much disk space you are using in certain directories.
Mail Management:
The control panel allows instant creation of
POP3 email accounts, forwarders, autoresponders, blocks and aliases.
Add/Remove
Accounts
This is where you create POP3 mailboxes
for your domain. You can have a mailbox for anyone@yourdomain.com
Catch All Address
A catch-all address will direct any
mail to your domain without a valid address to another
mailbox. For example, if someone sends an email to joe@yourdomain.com, it will
be sent to you at your catch-all address, even if no account for joe@ was set up.
You can also set up :blackhole: to discard all incoming
unrouted mail (cuts back on spam!) or :fail: no such address here to bounce it.
AutoResponders
An autoresponder is an automatic email generated to
a sender when a certain email address receives mail.
Block an Email - You can have the server
block mail from anyone.
E-Mail
Forwarders
A forward account sends mail sent
to anyone@yourdomain.com to an offsite email address, such as
you@earthlink.net or you@aol.com.
Mailing Lists
Set up a list to send emails
to a large group of subscribers. This tool has many different configurations. Powered by Mailman.
Note: we do not allow unsolicited email (SPAM) on our
servers, it is a violation of our Terms of Service.
WebMail
Log in through a browser from any computer to check your domain mail. Similar to Yahoo or Hotmail (without the spam!).
Choose from HordeMail, SquirrelMail, or NeoMail.
Spam Assassin
Spam Assassin is an automated mail filter that uses a wide range of heuristic algorithms on mail headers and message body text to identify "SPAM" (unsolicited email). Once identified, the mail is tagged as SPAM for later filtering using the user's desktop mail client.
Trace an Email Address
Handy tool to trace the route of any email address.
Modify MX Entries
For advanced users only, who wish to route mail off of our servers.
Domain Management:
Subdomains
Allows you to set up subdomains (anything.yourdomain.com)
that point to directories (/anything) of the same
name. Separate statistics for all subdomains.
Parked Domains (if supported by your plan)
Point more than one domain to your site. For
example, you can point yourdomain.com and yourdomain.net
to the same site and use both domains for web and
email.
Note: please make sure to point all domains to the
same nameservers as your main domain.
Addon
Domains (if supported by your plan)
This is where you add additional domains
to host under your existing account. Depending on your plan, you could
host up to three of your domains on one account.
Statistics:
Website and FTP
Access Stats

will analyze your access logs and show you more
information about your web sites traffic. Included: Website Statistics, Webalizer Stats,

space. The creation of an FTP account will allow users

any users that are currently logged into your domain.
Settings allow you to modify access to your anonymous
FTP site.
Databases:
