CPanel is a fully-featured web-based control panel that allows you to manage your domain through a web interface. The idea is to transfer as much of the control and responsibility of managing your web site to you. You have the ability to manage all aspects of email, files, backup, FTP, CGI scripts, and web site statistics.

CPanel provides a complete range of functionality to manage all aspects of your web site. The following areas are available:

• Mail Menu – The Mail Menu area allows you to manage all aspects of your email, from adding new accounts, managing mailing lists, and setting spam filters.

• Account Settings – The Account Settings area deals with all the tools that you need to control your account using CPanel, changing your web site, creating custom error pages, using subdomains, and other tools.

• Access Menu – The Access Menu area deals with all the tools that you need to control your own access to your web site using CPanel, including managing files, protecting directories, backing up your site, and using SSL to access your web site.

• Advanced Menu – The Advanced Menu area deals with a number of options that you normally would not need to use very often, including cron jobs, mime types, Apache handlers, and a number of other useful tools.

• Tools – The Tools area contains a large number of different utilities, from web site statistics to pre-installed CGI scripts and shopping carts, to Frontpage™ Extensions and OpenPGP keys.
