The control center
of your web hosting
account is the administrator control
panel, or admin panel. You will use
the admin panel to manage each and
every part of your server.
The admin panel is vital in setting
up and managing mail
boxes. It also is necessary to
assign different domains
and subdomains to your server. The
admin panel will help you manage password
protection of certain directors on
your server. You will also use your
admin panel to manage databases.
Your admin panel is also crucial
to importing your SSL
certificates. The SSL stands for
Secure Sockets Layer. The SSL provides
the security needed for information
to travel safely across the World
Wide Web. You can recognize SSLs by
the address that begins with “https://.”
Your admin panel will also allow
you to manage the many different properties
of your web hosting account.
If your web hosting company offers
either H-Sphere or cPanel admin panels,
take them up on the offer. Both are
very popular and are an advantage
because they are user friendly and
offer several options that will help
you as you manage and maintain your
website. Both H-Sphere and cPanel
are designed to make administration
of websites easy. cPanel is designed
for use by commercial web hosting
services. H-Sphere is generally sold
as part of a bundle (or as an optional
extra) with VPS and dedicated server
packages provided by professional
web hosting providers. The H-Sphere
program allows the user to configure
common server management tasks and
does not require an expansive knowledge
of the server’s operating system
