cPanel and the Users Manual
By admin | December 11, 2007
If your web site is on one of our Linux servers (and most of you are) then you will need to be proficient in using cPanel.
cPanel is the web based control panel that we provide to you that allows you to administer/control almost every aspect of your own server. This includes the ability to create/edit/delete your own email boxes, create ftp users, secure certain files and folders with passwords, install shopping cart scripts, etc etc.
Your control panel will be on http://www.yourdomainnamehere.com/cpanel and needs a login and password for you to access. This username and password will have been emailed to you when I originally set your server up for you. If you cannot remember your login and password then please give me a shout and I will send it to you.
I have a user manual for cPanel on my server … you can grab it here. It is large (approx. 200 pages), but don’t let that intimidate you. I already preconfigured most of the settings that you need when I initially set your server up for you, so there is not too much in the manual that you will need to know. I always suggest that people start reading at the section on email, as this is probably what you will need to configure the most.
WARNING … much devastation can be done with the incorrect use of cPanel. In fact it can totally destroy your site if you are not careful. If you are ever in doubt, or have any questions about its use, then please do not hesitate to give me a shout.
