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, http://your ip address/cpanel/
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
------------------------------------------------
Accounts 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.
More info on anonymous FTP usage.
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 directory.
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. if you
create u: john p: doe it all mail sent to john@domain.com will be
routed to the joe e-mail account. The user joe can then check
this mail by login into mail.domain.com using his user name and
password. REMEMBER: all user names automatically have a
determined amount of letters of the domain name appended to the
beginning of the user name. So if john was a another domain user
the user would use mail.somedomain.net as his incoming e-mail
server and use powerjohn as his log in name to retrieve mail sent
to john@homepage.net An alias sends mail sent to one address to
another POP3 account within your domain. For example if our
recently created john account was going to receive all mail sent
to sales@anyname.net we would setup sales as an alias to john.
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. For
example if john had an AOL account and wanted to check all his
mail there you could setup john to forward to john3435@aol.com.
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.
