What does cPanel do?
'cPanel' is short for 'control panel'. It enables you to administer many aspects of your site. For example, you can create and delete email addresses, view comprehensive statistics about site visitors, or find out how much space your web site takes up. The Wikipedia screenshot gives a pretty good idea of the scope of cPanel. Some of it will be gobbledy-gook. At the very least, you'll get a sense that cPanel performs a whole range of web site functions. Be warned that cPanel also offers to the uninitiated the power to derail, break, or even completely erase your web site, so be cautious if you really don't know what you are doing.
How do I access my cPanel?
Type your web site address into your web browser, or click on your site bookmark, and at the end of your web site address add cpanel. For example, www. yourwebsite. com would look like www. yourwebsite. com/cpanel. Then hit 'Go', or enter, and a box will pop up where you need to enter your cPanel user name and password. If we haven't provided you with your cPanel user name and password, ask us for it.
So now you're in cPanel
Stuff you might particularly want to know about:
* Mail: the cPanel manual gives clear instructions for accessing, creating, and deleting email accounts, amongst other things.
* Site statistics: To find out detailed information about visitors to your site, click on the 'Web/FTP Stats' icon, probably about the fourth row down the page. You get to choose from a bunch of different site statistics tools. Awstats is pretty good.
