Control Panel
CPanel makes setting up your web site easy! The Control Panel itself
is a user-friendly graphical interface that permits quick and easy access
to all the features available to your particular account plan. The features
inside the Control Panel automate processes that users must do manually
with other hosting services:
File
Manager:
By clicking this option you can view all the directories and files in
your account, as well as change permissions for directories and files,
create directories, create and edit files, and upload files from your
hard drive to your account.
Mail
Manager:
This option is where you create and edit, change passwords, forward
email to other email accounts, and create autoresponders for your Pop3
email accounts. (Quick Note: It is not necessary to create email aliases
as your default email account acts as a "Catch All Account."
In other words anything@yourdomain.com will be delivered to your default
mail account.)
