Hi All,

For those not familiar with some of the terminology associated with
doing business on the internet and with web hosting in particular, the
tem "cpanel? may be unknown. When you get a web hosting package from a
company it will come with a control panel to enable you to manage and
maintain your domains and their respective files, cpanel is one of
these control panel options and in the opinion of most professional
internet marketers, it is also the one favored.

One of the most important issues when dealing with managing your
domains is the ease with which that is accomplished, cpanel fits the
bill for this. As a web based administrative control panel, cpanel
makes it easier to manage all of your domain names and files
associated with them from a central location. Cpanel also gives you
access to important features like website statistics
such as web stats, FTP stats, AWstats, latest visitors, bandwidth
usage, and even breaks it down to what country the visitors are in and
gives you the functionality of FTP to upload and download files to
your sites. The web hosting control panel within cpanel was designed
with the end user in mind and is probably the most user friendly on
the market today.

From your control panel you can manage functions such as account or
site creation, domain redirects, and more. Cpanel also gives you the
ability to manage your email addresses and gives you autoresponders
and mail forwarding to help you with your business and even includes
additional features like spam filitering and webmail so that you can
check your email from any computer on the planet.

From your cpanel web hosting control panel you can build and edit web
pages and manage your Microsoft Frontpage password plus make changes
to the Apache handlers and manage options such as search engine
submission. You can also set Cron jobs from there which for those
unfamiliar with the term, is a way to set up automated tasks to take
place at a particular time schedule.

Another great feature that is possible with cpanel is the ability to
activate and use the pre-installed CGI scripts such as forums, chats,
shopping arts, and website development tools. One of my favorite
features with cpanel is Fantastico which allows for one step
installation of Content Management Systems such as Mambo, Joomla, and
the ever popular Wordpress blogging platform which I use for the
majority of my websites. Having cpanel with the Fantastico enabled
makes my life a lot easier and helps me to get my work done much more
quickly. I am sure you will find cpanel to be the same for you.
