cPanel - Account Information

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

When you logon to the control panel there is a column with all the required information.This includes all the features of the web server and your hosting account. The first thing that you will see is the package; Web Hosting package that was provided to you by your web Hosting Provider. It will display the name of the package that you had placed the order for. Your hosting package is nothing but a small collection of all the aspects of the total resources allocated to your account from the server with a complete access.
IP Address: The IP address that reflects in your account is the one on which your web hosting account is created. In other words your domain or website and the control panel are accessible from this IP Address. In general you get a Shared IP Address for your hosting account on Shared Hosting Plan and Reseller Hosting Plans. However you can purchase a Dedicated IP for your website if required. The main purpose of the Dedicated IP is to install SSL Certificate. Apart from this all business related websites are incomplete without a SSL Certificate. Some webmasters prefer to assign a Dedicated IP to each domain hosted on their Web Hosting account.
Subdomains: The total number of subdomains that are hosted on your web hosting account are displayed in this section. It also displays the information on how many more subdomains can be hosted the account. A subdomain is nothing but a prefix to your main domain. A subdomain may look like this subdomain.domain.com. Subdomains are generally created for providing more information on a particular subject or product. Subdomains are easier to access and to remember.
Along with Subdomains you will also see Parked domains and Add-on domains. Parked domains are reserved domains that point to your main domain. Using this feature extra domains can be redirected to the main URL. On the contrary Add-on domains have their separate identity from the main domain. They can be hosted under one account and separate set of directories is created in the hosting account. This is a great tool for hosting multiple domains under one account with different content.

How to access cPanel if using a Firewall

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Accessing any of your hosting stuff in public is highly insecure. However it is not possible to always be in your private environment and do your hosting related stuff. There are times when you are in public and have to use the resources available in order to keep your work going on. It is not an easy task to access your web hosting account from a public location.
The major reason behind this is that special connections are not permitted from public areas. However if you want to connect to your control panel you can do that. Cpanelproxy.net allows you to use some software called as proxy which allows you to connect to the control panel even if the normal connection is blocked.
You need to get the approval of your host as many Web Host don’t allow proxy connections on their server. cPanel Proxy can be installed on your account but there are no guidelines for using that. If you make some mistakes while connecting there is a possibility of your account being partially inactive. So it’s always good to talk to your Web Host before making any changes to your account. The simplest way to install cPanel proxy is to use a web-based auto installer. In this you need to enter your username and password for cPanel onto a form. For your account safety you need to change the cPanel password instantly once the proxy software is installed. To use the auto-installer, visit http://cpanelproxy.net/autoinstall and fill out the short form. Enter your cPanel account username and then password. The form then asks for the server. This can be the IP address of your server or the name of your server or your domain name.
Aftert that you will get WHM,cPanel and  Webmail as options. Webmail works fine even  if there is  firewall. cPanel is the regular cPanel account and WHM is the panel used by reseller web hosting account holders. The first two options are always checked. Leave them as they are and then click Install to start the installation. If you entered all the information correctly, you will be told that the proxy was installed for webmail and cPanel. If you see any errors, please double-check the information you entered in the form.Once the cPanel proxy is installed, you can access your cPanel account from http://cpanel.domain.com/ and log in with your cPanel username and password as you do normally.

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

If you are novice to the Web Hosting business then the timeframe between placing your order for a Web Hosting Package and getting the account login details are the most exciting. For those who have hopped from one web host to another, there is hardly any excitement left in it. Once the account setup is done by your web hosting company, you get an email containing all the important information related to your web hosting package. This information is very important and needs to be saved for future reference. In the email you also get the control panel login details created for you by your web host. So now let’s see how to use cPanel and the method to logon to your control panel.
First you need to open your favorite web browser. Now there are two ways to access your cPanel. One is completely secured and the second way is a bit insecure. The correct and safe way for logging into cPanel is https://yourdomainname.com:2083/ or your use your IP Address https://ipaddress:2083/ when you logon to cPanel in this manner you will be prompted or warned for the security certificate not matching. There is nothing to worry about this. You need to accept the certificate and continue…
In the second method you can access the control panel i.e. cPanel by using                        http://yourdomainname.com:2082/ or you can use this way http://ipaddress:2082/
There are hardly any warnings that are displayed when you logon to cPanel using this method. Most of the people use this method to logon to cpanel however it is not as safe as the first method is. All this information along with the cPanel username and password plus the server IP address is included in he Welcome Email sent to you by your Web Host.
