The next time your customers asks,
“Why do I need a Control Panel?” give them this answer…
A control panel is software that works with a hosting server to let you quickly and easily manage your web presence. Some hosting providers will include a control panel with your hosting plan, while others offer it as an add-on.
Control panels are web-based tools and which are easy to use because of the graphic interface and simple menu navigation. With a click of an icon, you can manage common server tasks such as setting up email accounts or assigning domain names (your website address).
The control panel (sometimes paired with website building tools) also allows you to create and add content to your website and to control how it appears on the Internet. Whether you want a blog, a photo gallery, or to add more domain names, control panels make it easy!
Parallels® Plesk Panel — one of the leading hosting control panels on the market today — offers a simple and convenient way to manage web hosting services. Through the control panel, you can quickly set up and administer your servers, and offer your end users the same easy, webbased access to their shared, dedicated or VPS hosting accounts.
