Cpanel 11

All packages and servers come with Cpanel 11, a major update to the late CP 10. With the new upgrade comes a lot of new features, below we have explained all of the current features and what they do that are apart of CP 11.

Cpanel Glossary

Below are all the icons that you will find in Cpanel 11 along with a short description so that you can have an idea on what each one means.

	This is a nice feature for them to have added in order for you to see how everything works in Cpanel11, but we all know of course that this helpful glossary is so much better.		So, do want to read anything but rather see a video, then this is the spot for you.
	Like the title says, change you Cpanel password here.		Always make sure to have your contact information up-to-date!
	A new feature for the Cpanel 11. Changing the look of your Cpanel layout!		At the moment, you will never have controls over this feature.
	You are able to create sub-directories from your root here. This is a great way to make a different websites without buying a domain for it.		When you buy a another domain apart from your root, you can add them on here and they will re-direct to a sub-domain within your root. Much easier then it sounds.
	This is for domains that will point to your root server. (ex. domname.com, domname.net)		This is for pointing to urls outside of your server.
	Easy access backups of your whole server.		Helps you through the backup process if you don’t know what to do.
	Version 2 of File Manager, this was the same in CP 10. Upload, delete, and create files here.		Version 3 of File Manager. Has many more features then Ver. 2.
	The cPanel Disk Usage Viewer allows you to see where the files are in your site that are taking up disk space. You can use the viewer to view all of the files in your site and find out how much space each file takes up.		The Web Disk allows you to easily drag and drop files to your hosting account. You can create a Web Disk login and access your Web Disk below.
	FTP Accounts allow you to access your web site’s files through a protocol called FTP. You will need a third party FTP program to access your files.		You can use this function to see who is currently logged into your site through FTP. You can also terminate any FTP connections to your site that you feel should not be open. This can be very useful in preventing users from accessing your files without your permission.
	You can allow users to connect to your anonymous FTP directory without having a password to login. This may be useful if you have files that you wish to be publicly available for download. Please note that allowing anonymous users to access any part of your system may be considered a security hole.		In this area, you can manage the email accounts associated with your domain(s).
	Webmail allows you to check your email from a web browser as opposed to a desktop mail application such as Outlook Express or Thunderbird. This means that you can check your email from any web browser.		BoxTrapper protects your inbox from spam by forcing all people not on your white list to reply to a verification email before they can send mail to you.
	SpamAssassin is an automated email filtering system that attempts to identify spam messages based on the content of the email’s headers and body.		Forwarders allow you to send a copy of all mail from one email address to another.
	You can use autoresponders to send a message back automatically to anyone who sends an email to a certain account. This can be useful for times when you are on vacation or unavailable, or if you have a generic message that you wish to send for a support email address.		The default email address will “catch” any mail that is sent to an invalid email address for your domain. All mail that is sent to an address that does not exist will go to the default email address.
	Mailing lists can simplify sending messages to a large group of people. You can add a group of email addresses to a mailing list to avoid typing in those addresses each time a mailing is sent.		In this area you can manage filters for each user. Each user filter is processed after the main account filters.
	In this area you can manage filters for your main account.		This feature allows you to view how the mail server will treat a message when sending to or delivering to a specific address. If you enter an address on the server, it shows how the mail server will deliver mail to that address. If you enter an address that exists somewhere other than this server, it will show how the mail server will attempt to send mail to that address.
	You can use the MX Entry Maintenance function to change where a domain’s email is delivered to. This allows you to have the email from one domain delivered to another domain.		MySQL Databases allow you to store lots of information in an easy to access manner. The databases themselves are not easily read by humans. MySQL databases are required by many web applications including some bulletin boards, content management systems, and others. To use a database, you’ll need to create it. Only MySQL Users (different than mail or other users) that have privileges to access a database can read from or write to that database.
	Easier way to creat MySQL Databases.		PHPMyAdmin is a more advancded way to work with your MySQL databases.
	You can allow external web servers to access your MySQL databases by adding their domain name to the list of hosts that are able to access databases on your web site. localhost stands for the server that your site is currently on.		This option will allow you to require a username and password to access a folder or folders from the web. This can be very useful when you need to limit access to a certain part of your site.
	This feature will allow you to block a range of IP addresses to prevent them from accessing your site. You can also enter a fully qualified domain name, and the IP Deny Manager will attempt to resolve it to an IP address for you.		SSH allows secure file transfer and remote logins over the internet. Your connection via SSH is encrypted allowing the secure connection. In this section you can manage your SSH keys to allow automation when logging in via SSH. Using public key authentication is an alternative to password authentication. Since the private key must be held to authenticate, it is virtually impossible to brute force. You can Import existing keys, generate new keys, as well as manage/delete keys.
	HotLink protection prevents other websites from directly linking to files (as specified below) on your website. Other sites will still be able to link to any file type that you don’t specify below (ie. html files).		GnuPG is a publicly available encryption scheme that uses the “public key” approach. With GnuPG, messages are encrypted using a “public key” however, they can only be decrypted by a “private key”, which is retained by the intended recipient of the message.
	This function will show the last 300 people that have accessed your site.		This function allows you to see the bandwidth usage for your site. It shows the current month’s bandwidth usage as well as your total bandwidth usage. This will include all HTTP (web) and POP (mail) bandwidth usage and may include FTP bandwidth usage if your system administrator has enabled FTP bandwidth logging.
	Webalizer is a complex stats program that produces a variety of charts and graphs about who has visited your site.		Webalizer FTP is a complex stats program that produces a variety of charts and graphs about who has visited your site using ftp protocol.
	Raw Access Logs allow you to see who has accessed your site without the use of graphs, charts or other graphics. You can use the Raw Access Logs menu to download a zipped version of the server’s access log for your site.		This function will display the last 300 errors for your site. This can be very useful for determining what links are broken on your site, or what files do not exist that should. Checking this log frequently can help keep your site running smoothly.
	This function allows you to choose what stats programs you will use when viewing site statistics, if you are allowed to do so.		Awstats produces visual statistics about visitors of your site.
	The CGI Center is where you can fine pre-installed CGI scripts for your use.		A list of software that you are able to add-on and get updates about.
	Perl modules are collections of functions that allow you to perform tasks in Perl. You will need to install a Perl module before you can use it inside a Perl program.		PEAR packages are collections of functions that allow you to perform tasks in PHP. You will need to install a PEAR package before you can use it inside a PHP program.
	PHP configuration settings are customizable by the server administrator. They are listed for reference only.		Use Fantastico to automatically install any of the scripts listed. Installing any script will use one of your available MySQL databases.
