Control panel general info.
All accounts come with our control account cpanel. You can
access your control panel at:
http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel/ or you may use,
https://www.yourdomain.com:2083 - secure
https://shared_IP:2083 - secure
http://shared_IP:2082 - unsecure
If using http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel/ (This will not
be active until your domain has been transferred to our nameservers.)
You will be asked to enter your user / pass to gain access
to your configuration. The control panel is pretty much self
explanatory however a little information on the usage of each
section is included below if you get confused along the way:
FTP Accounts
FTP cccounts used for managing access accounts to your web
space. The creation of an FTP account will allow users to
log into a sub directory from your main account without gaining
access to your main accounts. Sessions show any users that
are currently logged into your domain. Settings allow you
to modify access to your anonymous FTP site.
CGI
We have numerous customizable cgi scripts that have been pre-installed
on the server for you to use with your own account. The only
thing you'll need to do is select the script you are interested
in using, select the colors, style etc., and click the "Make
HTML" button. You can then paste the HTML output into
any of your HTML files to use that system cgi program.
Java
System Java works the exact same was as cgi see above for
usage.
Web Page Protection
Web page protection is used to limit access to any directory
to users who enter a user/pass combo. To protect a directory
within your account:
1) Click on that dir.
2) Enter a user / pass for access
3) Click add. You can add as many users as you wish to this
file. This protection is for resources accessed via the WEB
only, this will not create an FTP user. Do not use this if
you are also using FrontPage. It is not compatible. Instead,
use the security controls within FrontPage itself.
E-MAIL
E-mail control panel allows instant creation of e-mail POP3,
forwards, and aliases. A POP3 account is a stand alone incoming
e-mail account. Note: by default all names not configured
to the root account. So if you sent a message to testl@domain.com
it would be sent to your main root account unless you had
set it up as an alias, forward or POP3. A forward account
sends mail sent to user@domain.com to an address completely
out of your domain.
Access Stats
Provides access to many different programs that will analyze
your access logs and show you more information about your
web sites traffic.
Password
Allows you to change your main accounts password. A good suggestion
is to change this password at least once a month.
File Manager
Allows you to modify the files in your web site in real-time
via a web based interface. You can perform many commands such
as chmod as well as actually edit the file and save it directly
to the web server.
Java Chat
Allows you to access your personal java chat server and supplies
the code for you to use the product on your own site.
Handlers / Types
You will probably never need to use this portion of your control
panel. A MIME type is basically what tells the web server
that a .html document is a web page, and that a .gif doc is
a gif image etc. If you would like to configure a custom MIME
type such as making .pictures a gif image file you would enter
it here.
Error Editor
This section lets you customize the errors that your users
will see instead of the generic server errors. You could setup
a 404 page to redirect users to your main web site instead
of the default dead document.
