Our Control Panel 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 auto responders 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.)

Change Password
Click this option to change the password for your Control Panel and FTP Client.

Site Statistics
This option will assist you in monitoring visitors to and from your site. This area features 3 different views of your traffic: Analog, which basically provides you with a quick summary, Webalizer, which provides you with more detailed information, and Last 300 visitors, with detailed information on each. This area also contains a link to access your error log, which will assist you in trouble shooting your scripts.
