View a report of your bandwith used (how many bytes your site has transferred) with a relatively buried feature of cPanel. Info includes nice graphs of the current day’s bandwidth for the current year. Report covers HTTP, SMTP, FTP and POP3 traffic. To get to the report: On the main / home cPanel page, click [...]

Someone asked me about moving up to dedicated hosting and how in the world can someone who is not a certified system administrator or IT person run such a thing.  cPanel makes it do-able. cPanel has capabilities beyond what the owner of a website sees.  cPanel is not just for accounts on shared hosting or [...]

Someone recently said “If I don’t like my new hosting company, I’ll just move the site. Right??” It might be easy, but then again it might not. The complexity depends on the nature of your site. If you have some static HTML files and images. Easy. If you have a database-driven site such as a [...]

Just where are those emails stored on your server? For emails that have been delivered, here is how: Log into cPanel, click the “File Manager” icon. Go to the directory named (appropriately) “mail.” (Your “public_html” directory is at the same level directory as “mail.”) When you have only one, default, email set up, you will [...]

Username is your entire email address (for example, me@mysite.com) cPanel provides three web user interfaces to your email: NeoMail, Horde and SquirrelMail. (The links are provided only [...]

Work with your MySQL databases through phpMyAdmin, a great browser-based application you access through cPanel. I use it often and still have a hard time finding the link. When you are logged into cPanel: Click the link for MySQL Databases Scroll toward the bottom of the page (below the MySQL Account Maintenance section) Click the [...]

You have an email inbox that is filled up. Or perhaps your “spam box” is filled up. You have so many emails to delete that it would take you forever to clear it out, page by page with NeoMail. One of my customers cried for help because of 35 MBs of spam that had accumulated. [...]

A “404″ error refers to a page not found. (This name comes from the HTTP code 404 which indicates file not found.) Create a custom page so your visitors see a page that is visually more appealing than the default page, that is consistent with the design and branding of your site, and is also [...]
