What is a Control panel?
A control panel is an interface that you can use to manage different aspects of your hosting account.
While some web hosting companies offer proprietary control panels, most of them go for any of the popular platforms-Plesk, cPanel, etc. Though there are some differences between these platforms, they offer more or less similar functionalities.
Let us have a look at the basic elements of a control panel:
1) Domain Management: Control panels have a section wherein they let you manage everything pertaining to the domains you are hosting on your server.
2) Subdomains: Subdomains let you create a new area on your website or a whole new website, all while using your primary domain name. For instance, you can add a prefix to your site's domain name-support.domain.com. With a control panel in place, you can create as many sub-domains as you require.
3) Add-on Domains: In addition to creating sub-domains, you can add new domains to your hosting environment, also called add-on domains. These add-on domains can point to a specific website or can be simply parked if you don't want these to point to any website.
4) DNS Management: A control panel lets you manage all your DNS records including a nameserver, MX records, and TXT records.
5) File Manager: Keeping track of all your files on the server can be mind-boggling if you don't have a reliable solution in place. The GUI on your control panel allows for hassle-free management of your files.
6) Monitoring: As a website owner, you need to stay abreast of the vital usage stats, such as bandwidth or memory usage. A control panel lets you track the resource consumption corresponding to each of the websites you are running. As a result, you can avoid high consumption charges.
