Our
Control Panel makes setting up your website very easy! The Control
Panel itself is a user-friendly graphical interface that allows
quick and easy access to all the features available to your particular
account plan. The features inside the Control Panel automate processes
that users must do manually with many other hosting services.
Please note that your cpanel may look different due to upgrades and
style format.

Control Panel Main Screen
Note to FrontPage Users: Some of the options in your Control
Panel will not work with FrontPage extensions installed. It is a known
fact throughout the industry that Microsoft has established itself
as a "world in itself" and therefore the majority of their
software is incompatible with the other world. We provide FP Extensions
as a courtesy to those that know how to use it and prefer it over
the more common methods of designing websites If you choose to utilize
FrontPage, please keep in mind that some of the advanced features
of our Control Panel will not work for you.
The main control panel screen is divided into two areas. The left
side will show general account information, the right side of the
Control Panel will show you the following options: (These may vary
depending on your particular hosting plan)
Add/Remove Accounts:
Click this option to add and/or remove email accounts e.g. you@
you.com.
Default Address:
The default address is the email address where all unrouted 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 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.

emails. Addresses entered here will not be able to send email to your
