THE CPANEL AND IT'S IMPORTANT FEATURES

THE CPANEL AND IT'S IMPORTANT FEATURES

cPanel is a control panel that enables you to carry out a multitude of website and hosting management
tasks. While the admin area of your website is where you can update content, change themes, install
plugins, etc., cPanel enables you to carry out higher-level tasks, managing both your website and other
aspects of your hosting, as well as offering other ways to carry out some of the things that can be done
in the admin area.
cPanel organizes its tools into 10 easily navigable sections. These are:
➢ Files: for managing your website files and disk space.
➢ Databases: for managing your databases.
➢ Domains: for managing your domains and DNS.
➢ Email: For managing email, email security, contacts, etc.
➢ Metrics: For viewing website data, such as visitor numbers and resource usage.
➢ Security: a suite of tools for securing your site, such as 2FA and SSL.
➢ Software: to manage PHP, web platforms and to install new apps.
➢ Advanced: More complex tools for things like cron jobs, error pages, etc.
➢ Preferences: for cPanel management, such as user manager, passwords and interface
personalisation.
➢ Softaculous App Installer: Softaculous is a tool that lets you install hundreds of tools/apps
directly from cPanel.
MAIN FEATURES OF CPANEL
➢ Email
cPanel’s email tools help you to manage your email from directly within the control panel. They enable
you to:
Add and remove email accounts
Set up email forwarding, mailing lists and auto-responders
Manage spam filters and global filters
Encrypt emails for security
Read and compose emails anywhere in the world via Webmail.
FTP Manager
The FTP manager can be used to manage FTP access to your server directories and files. Features include:
Set up FTP accounts
Set up anonymous FTP access
FTP session control
File Manager
The File Manager makes managing your files even easier than using FTP as you can do it directly from
an interface within cPanel. You won’t need to make an FTP connection, use an FTP program or create
additional usernames and passwords.
➢ Backup
Backups are essential to help you recover from lost data, corrupted files, hardware failure and
cybercrime. cPanel has built-in backup functionality that lets you create a backup of your website with
a single click, download it, and store it remotely from your server.
➢ Domains
cPanel gives you complete control over your domains. It enables you to manage your domains and DNS
settings, add new domains and subdomains, publish domains once your websites are completed, set up
domain aliases and redirects.
➢ Raw Log Manager
The Raw Log Manager lets you choose how raw logs are stored on your hosting account.
Raw Access Log
cPanel gives you the ability to download the raw access logs for any domain in your account. This
information is useful for tracking user movements.
➢ Error Log
cPanel’s Error Log helps you get to the bottom of 404 errors. The log displays all the “404 File does
not exist” errors, helping you discover which files are missing from your website and quickly replace
them or remove broken links.
➢ MySQL Databases
CMS websites require a MySQL database and you may have multiple databases if you have more than
one domain. The MySQL Databases tool enables you to manage your databases, creating new ones,
modifying existing ones and creating, managing and removing database users.
➢ Two Factor Authentication (2FA)
Take your cPanel security up a level by using the control panel’s 2FA tool. This will require anyone
logging into your cPanel account to use an additional method of verification, sent to their phone, besides
the username and password. 2FA helps prevent unauthorized users or brute force hackers gaining access
to your control panel.
➢ Softaculous
Make the installation of applications a breeze with Softaculous. Softaculous enables you to install
hundreds of useful apps and tools, quickly and easily, to improve your website’s functionality. From
CMS, such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, etc, popular eCommerce platforms, image galleries,
social media tools, blogging tools, forums, ad managers, calendars, user polls, project management tools,
customer support tools and much more – all installed with a single click!
There are many more useful features available in cPanel. With such a rich variety of features, it’s no
wonder that cPanel is the world’s most used control panel.
