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.

Website Security

Virus protection makes it easy to scan files for viruses. Site owners can even prevent other websites from inappropriately using their bandwidth, password-protect areas of a site, and set up cPanel to automatically ban a user who shares a password to a restricted area of the website. Failure happens, but we’ll do our best to make sure it doesn’t!

Advanced Web Statistics

Many SEOs prefer cPanel because of the amount of information it provides about web traffic. Web statistics can be generated by three different statistics generators. In addition, logs of errors encountered by website visitors, bandwidth tracking, and even raw FTP access logs are available via the cPanel interface.

Easy Website Backups

Backing up data is simple with cPanel’s Backup Wizard. Our software comes equipped with an interface to help site owners manage and acquire backups for their entire account.

A Developers Paradise

Professional web developers love cPanel, too. They can quickly view a server’s PHP configuration, install Ruby Gems, customize error pages and how content is served.

60+ Pre-Installed Apps

Site owners can install commonly used web-based applications, such as WordPress blogs, osCommerce stores, and phpBB forums, simply by answering a few quick questions in the cPanel interface.

Local Languages Supported

Localization allows webmasters to use cPanel in Arabic, Bengali, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish, which more to come.

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.

To curb spam, cPanel provides powerful spam deterrents: SpamAssassin and BoxTrapper. We also offer the ability to automatically route messages to a spam folder.

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

Our expert team continuously refines the cPanel interface. The result is an intuitive product that allows website owners to maintain their sites easily without needing to contact their hosting provider.

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.

Managing a server with WHM

With WHM, server administrators can easily control the technologies their servers employ. Using our exclusive EasyApache utility, server administrators can, with a few clicks:

• Support new web technologies (including security measures such as suPHP and suEXEC),
• Change the web server software powering the sites on the server, and
• Install new software modules to give web developers the tools they need for custom scripts.

Simple

The cPanel interface is intuitive and includes video tutorials and on-screen help. This allows hosting customers to manage their own accounts without needing to contact your support staff for assistance.  Novices can also benefit from the Getting Started Wizards included with both cPanel and WHM.

Secure

cPanel and WHM includes the latest technologies to help keep your server secure. Our software offers virus protection, rootkit detection, and a host of other tools to allow you to lock down your server.  WHM’s Security Center allows you to easily lock down your server and configure different security settings.

Reliable

Our software is self-monitoring. If it detects a failed service, it will automatically attempt to restart that service.

Our software will also notify you, via email, IM, or SMS (phone) of problems that could affect your server’s reliability. This way, you can perform preventative maintenance to keep your server running.

Cutting Edge

Our software can automatically update itself and your server’s software. This allows you to stay on top of the latest technology and security fixes. Our interface provides you fine-grained control over these automatic updates, allowing you to disable them if you wish.

Our EasyApache interface allows you to add support for new web technologies in a few mouse clicks. If you wish to disable a specific feature, you can simply uncheck it.
