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 adderss/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 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. 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. |
