CPanel Control Panel makes setting up your web site easy. The Control Panel itself is a user-friendly graphical interface that permits 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 other hosting services:
The features are :
File Manager:
By clicking this option you can view all the directories and files in your account, as well as change permissions for directories and files, create directories, create and edit files, and upload files from your hard drive to your account.
Mail Manager:
This option is where you create and edit, change passwords, forward email to other email accounts, and create auto responders for your Pop3 email accounts. (Quick Note: It is not necessary to create email aliases as your default email account acts as a "Catch All Account." In other words anything@yourdomain.com will be delivered to your default mail account.)
