Creating a Website - Part 3
Hello friends,
Did you like my birds?
Never mind. Lets see what is Control Panel.
Mananging your webhost account online has never been easier. The control panel is click and point software which simplifies most tasks. The website control panel makes most website hosting management tasks very easy. It eliminates the need to read the detailed online manual.
Most of the control panel include features like:
File Manager
Browser based FTP client
HTML compressor
Install/Manage password protected directories
Manage email configuration
Manage autoresponders
Install/Disable daily stats
Customize Server Error Pages
Manage Counters
FormMail, Guestbook, WwwBoard and others
Control your site from your browser
Up
So, The first thing you have to do is to use the file manager to manage your files.
You can upload files from your computer, edit files in the server or delete files using the file manager.
After you create a hosting account, when you type your domain name in your browser, you'll see some files and not the html page or Welcome page.
The control panel location is normally a subdomain in your website, say "www.yourdomain.com/cpanel".
When you look at the file manager, some basic files will be:
public_html
public_ftp
www
tmp
....
You should never delete any of these files or folders.
They indicate the basic structure of your website.
So, the first thing you have to create is a index.html file and store it in the root folder of your website.
i.e public_html folder.
So, create a sample file with some text and save it as index.html
Upload the file in the public_html folder.
Once you upload, when you type "www.yourname.com", then the index.html file will be automatically loaded.
So, the index.html will be your startup page.
There are many control panels available, some are free and some are costly.
It depends on your hosting account.
My favourite control panel is CPanel, and most of the hosts provide you with CPanel.
CPanel has very rich features, and you can find them in this site:

In the next post, lets see about the various features of a control panel and creating a simple forum in our site.

Paramesh.
