The Nuts & Bolts of Using CPanel

April 8th, 2009

The simplification of website administration using cPanel (or control Panel) might actually sound a little intimidating at first. Being a web-based web hosting control panel, it’s able to handle every aspect related to the administration of a website within its interface structure. The design of this is geared around commercial web hosting, running on Redhat Enterprise Linux, Windows Server 2008, CentOS and FreeBSD as well.

Getting the tasks you need to accomplish or perform completed, both easily and quickly is crucial in the business world. CPanel has the usability to accomplish that very task, and with relative ease. There are many options and features available to you so these tasks will become easier to accomplish than you imagined.

Armed with an easy-to-follow getting started wizard, each step is accomplished with the assistance needed, even for the new account owner not yet familiar with the many workings of web hosting and control panels. From web disk access to email, as well as all other aspects concerned with web hosting accounts your clients will be up and running quickly with the help of the integrated wizard.

All available options are laid out on the main cPanel screen, providing clarity for all users. This alone saves time and hassles which can occur when trying to locate or access a specific point of access. Better still; each menu is completely modifiable using the simple drag-and-drop method. This will allow each individual to arrange their own preferences and needs accordingly. Any menu that isn’t required is easily minimized to save screen space, but is just as easily accessed if the need arises.

A simple click of the Help button on any page within cPanel’s interface enables the client to access relevant content help. The client is provided with a full description of the concepts behind any feature or function. Each piece of documentation in regards to the interface is linked to from this location, all in a manner which provides additional content and a better understanding of the concepts.

Enhanced notifications and error messages can be used to follow through with the important aspect of keeping on top of activities with your hosting account. There is a new notice area in order to ease this process, providing valuable information such as access information, email account disk matters as well as many other important issues. Also available is a Stats area, providing you with a visual outlook on the present status of any particular account. Now you can make sure everything is running at peak performance with a simple glance.

Understanding how important it is to have access to specific settings or accounts quickly, it’s possible for cPanel tables to be sorted using many varying criteria. Also, visual feature queues are available all throughout the interface, as well as keeping your information sized for easier viewing with zooming abilities included in the user tools available. While keeping accounts under watch, they can locate and access pertinent information too.

With the web disk access the client is now able to create shortcuts to their hosting account to their desktop. It’s an easy drag and drop process from there, just as they would with many other file systems. By eliminated the need for FTP or publishing software, publishing is now an easy task indeed.

It’s easily accomplishable with cPanel for any email users to add account specific filters for handier email routing. This interface gives clients a broad range of flexibility and usability, just as they would have with a desktop mail client system.

You can now see just how easy using cPanel can be. There is really no need for fret or worry with a product of this capability, which simply and seamlessly integrates your web-based web hosting control panel needs.
