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.
