Big Pink Hippo :: Cpanel ::

All Big Pink Hippo Clients will recieve Cpanel for FREE...

cPanel is a fully-featured web-based control panel that allows you to manage your domain through a web interface. The idea is to transfer as much of the control and responsibility of managing your web site to you. You have the ability to manage all aspects of email, files, backup, FTP, CGI scripts, and web site statistics.

cPanel provides a complete range of functionality to manage all aspects of your web site. The following areas are available:

Mail Menu - The Mail Menu area allows you to manage all aspects of your email, from adding new accounts, managing mailing lists, and setting spam filters.
Account Settings - The Account Settings area deals with all the tools that you need to control your account using cPanel, changing your web site, creating custom error pages, using sub domains, and other tools.
Access Menu - The Access Menu area deals with all the tools that you need to control your own access to your web site using cPanel, including managing files, protecting directories, backing up your site, and using SSL to access your web site.
Advanced Menu - The Advanced Menu area deals with a number of options that you normally would not need to use very often, including cron jobs, mime types, Apache handlers, and a number of other useful tools.
Tools - The Tools area contains a large number of different utilities, from web site statistics to pre-installed CGI scripts and shopping carts, to Front Page™ Extensions and Open PGP keys.

	Mail Menu
	Read Web Mail Access your email account via the web using http://yourtmdomain.com/web mail
	Add/Remove Accounts Click this option to add and/or remove email accounts and allows you to read your email messages online.
	Default Address The default address is the email address where all un routed email messages will be sent. This is also called a "Catch All Email Address." For Example, if your master username is "john" your default address will be john@yourdomain.com. Now, lets assume that someone sends an email to mary@yourdomain.com and you have not created an email account for mary, that particular message will arrive at your default address of john@yourdomain.com.
	Auto Responders Auto Responders are messages that are automatically sent to each person who sends you an email. This feature is useful when you know you will not be reading or responding to incoming email massages for a period of time.
	Block an Email You can use this option to "filter" or block unwanted emails. Addresses entered here will not be able to send email to your domain.

	Account Settings
	Change Password Click this option to change the password for your Control Panel and FTP service.
	Sub Domains This option will assist you setting up sub domains inside your account plan. Sub domains are subdomain.yourdomain.com. The sub domains that are setup through your control panel draw their resources from the parent plan and do not come with a unique IP address. (Not available with some accounts)
	Addon domains With the Addon domain feature in Cpanel you can create a separate domain next to your main domain on your account. The HTML contents of a sub domain goes into a sub folder of the /public _html/ folder in your account. Every addon domain also creates a subdomain. An Addon is basically a subdomain that can also be accessed by the full domain. So for the visitor it is transparent, because they only see the full domain in the URL bar. So if you would add a domain named mynewdomain.com and your main domain is olddomain.com, Cpanel creates a subdomain called mynewdomain.olddomain.com. The contents which goes in the /public_html/mynewdomain/ directory will be visible via your browser under: mynewdomain.olddomain.com AND mynewdomain.com You can create POP mail accounts with kat.com and also the FTP can be accessed with mynewdomain.com (user for FTP should be mynewdomain@olddomain.com) Make sure that you also update the nameservers for your addon domain at your registrar with the same nameservers as for your main domain (see welcome e-mail).
