Domains / Domain Pointers
The Addon
Domain Maintenance menu allows you to add
addon domains to your account. An addon domain
allows you to reach a subdomain when entering the
name of the addon domain into a browser. This means
that you can host additional domains from your
account. Agora
/ Interchange Shopping Cart
The Agora
and Interchange Shopping Carts are both fully
featured shopping cart that can be installed with
the click of a button. The product is fully
documented at their website - please refer to the Agora
web site, or Interchange
website if you have any questions about using
the shopping cart.
Apache
Handlers
Apache
handlers allow you to control what Apache
will do with certain file types. When Apache sees a
file, it has an action built in for that file type,
and will perform that action. If you wish Apache to
do a different action, you will need to make a
handler to tell Apache to perform that action. For
example, if you use a file type that requires a
special service to run it, such as a movie file
(.mpg) that you wish to run through a specific
streaming server, you need to tell Apache to treat
these files differently. Backups
A full backup will backup all files
needed to restore your account if it is corrupted,
deleted, or moved to another server. Generating a
full backup and saving it to a remote location can
be a very safe move in case of problems with your
account. Bulletin
Board
This function allows you to add a
bulletin board to your site. This board can be used
to discuss things such as products, help, current
events, or anything else you wish users of your site
to be able to discuss. Chat
Room
You can use cPanel to add an HTML or java
based chatroom to your web site. Also, you can enter
the chatroom from cPanel. cPanel will provide you
with the code needed to place a gateway to this
chatroom on your web page. Users can then enter a
nickname and join the chatroom from your web page. CGI
Center
Our control panel gives you the
capability to install an array of pre-configured of
CGI scripts including FormMail, Counter, Guestbook,
Search, Banner Rotator, Random HTML. CronJobs
Cron jobs allow you to automate certain
commands or scripts on your server to complete
repetitive tasks automatically. A cron job allows
you to run a certain command at times set by the
job. For example, you could set a cron job to delete
temporary files every week so that your disk space
is not being used up by those files. Standard mode
gives you a range of pre-set options for adding your
cron job and is easier to use than advanced mode. Error
Log
This function will
display the last 300 errors for your site. This can
be very useful for determining what links are broken
on your site, or what files do not exist that
should. Checking this log frequently can help keep
your site running smoothly. Error
Pages
The Error Pages function allows you to
modify the different HTML pages that a user will see
when an error is registered on your site. For
example, you can change the file not found page to
include your logo, a link back to your site, and
apology, or something else. Changing these pages can
give a more personal feel to your site and can also
be useful when your site is under construction. Fantastico
- Additional PHP Scripts!
In additional to a standard set of PHP
scripts that can be installed easily in our control
panel, Fantastico allows you to install another set
of powerful PHP tools including PHP-Nuke, phpBB2,
Invision Board, 4images Gallery, and more. For more
information, please click here. FTP
Manager
You or your fellow site developers may
need to transfer files from a computer to the
computer that contains your web site. If you need to
transfer many files, using an FTP client is the
quickest way to accomplish this. In the FTP
Manager, you can create FTP accounts, which
allow users to access the files of your web site
with an FTP client. Hotlink
Protection
HotLink protection prevents other
websites from directly linking to files (as
specified below) on your website. Other sites will
still be able to link to any file type that you
don't specify below (ie. html files). You can use
hotlink protection to keep other sites from linking
to your images, videos, and other files. If another
site links directly to your images or other files,
they will be using your bandwidth to display those
files rather than theirs. Image
Manager
The Image Manager
allows you to view and modify images in your
account. You can change the size of your images,
convert their file type, or just view them with the Image
Manager. Index
Manager
The Index Manager
allows you to customize the way a directory will be
viewed on the web. You can select between a default
style, no indexes, or two types of indexing. If you
do not wish for people to be able to see the files
in your directory, choose no indexing. IP
Deny Manager
The IP Deny
Manager allows you to prevent an IP address,
domain name, or block of IP addresses from accessing
your web site. If someone is using a lot of your
bandwidth, posting malicious content, or should not
be allowed to access your site for another reason,
you can preventing them from doing so in the IP
Deny Manager. Leech
Protect
Leech Protect allows you to prevent users
from publicly posting their password to a restricted
area of your site. It also can prevent people from
attempting to guess a user's password through
repeated guesses. OpenPGP
Keys
GnuPG is a publicly available encryption
scheme that uses the "public key"
approach. With GnuPG, messages are encrypted using a
"public key" however, they can only be
decrypted by a "private key", which is
retained by the intended recipient of the message.
Your "public
key" is the key that a message is encrypted
with. A matching "private key" is used to
decode the message. MIME
Types
Mime types tell browsers how to handle
specific extensions. For example, the
text/html mime type equates to .htm, .html, and .shtml
extensions on most servers, and this tells your
browser to interpret all files with those extensions
as HTML files. You can alter or add new mime types
specifically for your site (note that you can not
alter the system defined mime type values). Network
Tools (Domain Lookup & Traceroute)
The Domain
Lookup tool allows you to find out the IP address of
any domain, as well as DNS information about that
domain. This can be a very useful tool right after
your site is set up or after DNS changes have been
made to make sure your DNS is setup properly. On the
other hand, Traceroute allows you to trace the route
from the computer you are accessing cPanel from to
the server your site is on (i.e. the number of
servers and what servers your data must pass through
to get to your site). Password
Protected Directories
You can use
this option to place a password on one of your
site's directories. Only users that you specify will
be able to access this directory. PHP
Scripts
Our control
panel gives you access to an array of PHP
pre-installed scripts, including phpBB, phpNuke,
phpChat, osCommerce, and phpMyChat. All these
scripts use MySQL as the backend database. Raw
Access Logs
Raw Access
Logs allow you to see who has accessed your site
without the use of graphs, charts or other graphics.
You can use the Raw Access Logs menu to download a
zipped version of the server's access log for your
site. This can be very useful when you need to see
who is accessing your site quickly. Redirects
Redirects
allow you to make a specific web page redirect to
another page and display the contents of that page.
This way you can make a page with a long URL
accessible by a page which has a shorter and easier
to remember URL.
For example: Since
http://www.domain.com/folder1/foldera/longfilename_with_underscores.html
is hard to remember, you can make http://www.domain.com/filename.html
redirect to the other URL. This way users do not
have to remember the longer url or search through
your web site to get to the page they wish to
access.
Subdomains
The Sub
Domain Maintenance menu allows you to add
subdomains to your account. This feature is very
useful as people can access subdirectories in your
site through a simpler domain name than using your
domain name and directory names.
For example:
Instead of accessing http://www.domain.com/users/john/forums,
they can access http://jforums.domain.com if you set
up a subdomain pointing to the forums directory.
Virus
Scan
This
function allows you to use ClamAV to scan your
email, home directory, public web, or public FTP
space. Scanning consistently for viruses will help
keep your site running properly, and can prevent
many problems.
Web
/ FTP Stats
We supply
you with several statistics tools to keep track of
the visitors to your website, traffic usage of your
account, and more. This includes Analog, Webalizer,
Latest Visitors, Bandwidth Usage, Error Log.
