Learning cPanel
cPanel is a Web based control panel for your hosting account that has many tools to help you easily maintain your Web site. Without cPanel you would have to use Telnet, a command line interface, to manage daily tasks on your Web site – this would mean learning Unix/Unix-like commands.
With cPanel’s graphical tools you can change your account password, create and manage email accounts, create directories and perform online file management, password protect directories, backup your entire site, create custom error pages, manage FTP functionality, setup MySQL directories, install scripts and open source software, and check your site’s statistics (visitor logs). This is just a sampling of the tools available in cPanel.
