More About Control Panels
A control panel enables end users to manage many elements of their site. These include purchased domain names, web files, applications, account info, etc. Users can access their sites’ files using phpMyAdmin, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and other methods from the control panel.
Site owners can also access the Domain Name System (DNS) in this location. Moreover, the control panel enables users to manage security features such as IP blockers, firewalls, and backups. Additionally, this is where users can check out performance monitoring and error logs. Different operating systems require different control panels, including cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, and hPanel.
