A comprehensive list of cPanel features is shown below. For more information on cPanel visit the cPanel Website at: www.cpanel.net

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 other hosting services.

The main control panel screen is your account and server information. You'll see lot's of icons (links) there which will allow you to do all your server and account management work. In the table below you will see description for almost each of the feature in your Control Panel ( once you login into your Control Panel, you will have access to more detailed "Documentation" section there).

	Mail Menu
	Read Web Mail Access your email account via the web using http://yourtmdomain.com/webmail
	Add/Remove Accounts Click this option to add and/or remove email accounts and allows you to read your email messages online.
	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 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.

	Sub Domains This option will assist you setting up sub domains inside your account plan. Sub domains are subdomain.yourdomain.com. The sub domains that are setup through your control panel draw their resources from the parent plan and do not come with a unique IP address. (Not available with some accounts)
	Addon domains With the Addon domain feature in Cpanel you can create a separate domain next to your main domain on your account. The HTML contents of a subdomain goes into a subfolder of the /public_html/ folder in your account. Every addon domain also creates a subdomain. An Addon is basically a subdomain that can also be accessed by the full domain. So for the visitor it is transparent, because they only see the full domain in the URL bar. So if you would add a domain named mynewdomain.com and your main domain is olddomain.com, Cpanel creates a subdomain called mynewdomain.olddomain.com. The contents which goes in the /public_html/mynewdomain/ directory will be visible via your browser under: mynewdomain.olddomain.com AND mynewdomain.com You can create POP mail accounts with kat.com and also the FTP can be accessed with mynewdomain.com (user for FTP should be mynewdomain@olddomain.com) Make sure that you also update the nameservers for your addon domain at your registrar with the same nameservers as for your main domain (see welcome e-mail).
