All of our hosting packages enable our clients to use the industry-leading account management package, cPanel. This easy-to-use, yet extremely powerful package, provides a variety of account management and informational tools to our clients. Below you will find, succinctly summarized, the most important of these features, demonstrating how cPanel can truly empower the management of your on-line presence.
cPanel
CPanel is a fully featured web-based control panel that allows you to manage your domain through a web interface.

Mail Account Management
Managing e-mail accounts is easily accomplished with cPanel. Facilities are provided to easily add/remove POP3 accounts, assign account size quotas, and create e-mail addresses that automatically redirect incoming e-mail. Also possible is the easy configuration of various filters (i.e., for automatic sorting of incoming mail or to block spam), and autoresponders.
WebMail
cPanel also enables the efficient administration of WebMail services. Several WebMail applications are supported, including NeoMail, Horde and SquirrelMail.
Additional Domains
It is always possible that you may wish to have more than one domain associated with your hosting account. Managing multiple domains is a breeze with cPanel – redirecting your additional domains to directories within your site’s file structure is accomplished efficiently, and with only a few mouse clicks.
File Manager
cPanel also provides a comprehensive file manager that allows you to create/copy/delete/move files and directories, and also modify file and directory permissions, all via a convenient, web-based interface.
Backup Facility
cPanel also helps maintain data integrity: Creating and restoring backups of your entire site (including MySQL databases) is a swiftly-accomplished task when working with cPanel’s backup facility.
Subdomain Management
The maintenance of subdomains is yet another rapid, nearly effortless task using cPanel. Subdomains that you create can be redirected to virtually any directory within your site.
MySQL Manager
Whether you wish to create or delete MySQL databases, or simply modify user privileges for existing MySQL databases, such tasks are brisk with cPanel’s MySQL Manager. Also provided is access to the popular phpMyAdmin package.
Web/FTP Statistics
cPanel also integrates common www/ftp statistics software packages, making them easily accessible and available on demand. Net Logisitics provides access to Analog, AWStats and Webalizer.
Addons
Additional functionality includes a variety of built-in and install-on-demand addons. These include PhpMyChat, for creating on-line chat rooms, PhpBB for bulletin boards, CGI Center, consisting of a variety of useful, pre-installed CGI scripts (such as a guestbook, formmail clone, and a site search engine), and Agora Cart, a powerful on-line shopping cart package.
HotLink Protection
cPanel’s integrated HotLink protection also provides you with the flexibility of blocking those who externally link to your website.
