Web Hosting Control Panel
The "Parallels Pro" control panel allows you to manage all aspects of your hosting account. From adding email accounts to managing your MySQL databases,
Web based File Manager
We recommend FTP for uploading your website files. However, when FTP is not practical you can use the web based file manager provided to upload and/or manage your website files directly from a regular web browser.
Unlimited Sub Domains
Sub domains allow you to setup separate sub sites within your main website, for example you can create http://blog.yoursite.com to start a blog separate to your main website. You can create unlimited sub domains.
FTP and SSH Access
You are provided full FTP and SSH access to your webspace. FTP allows for fast and easy file transfer and management. SSH allows you direct command line access to your webspace via shell.
Instant & Scheduled Backups
From your control panel you can create an instantly downloadable backup of your website, or schedule a regular automatic backup for later on! You can also restore previous backups to your webspace.
Park Additional Domain Names
You can park as many extra domains on top of your main website as you need. Handy if you wish to have website.com, website.co.uk, website.net etc etc all pointed to your main website!
PHPMyAdmin MySQL Management
PHPMyAdmin is a popular, powerful web-based interface for administering MySQL databases. You can login and manage your databases from an easy to use control panel in your regular web browser.
Password Protection Tool
Your control panel allows you to password protect directories on your website. You can then manage users, passwords and groups who are allowed access to these protected areas.
Web Based Email Access
Squirrelmail software is already installed to your web hosting. This provides simple, fast access to your email via regular web browser. Perfect if you dont like email software such as Outlook, or if you are away from your own PC.
SMTP Access
We allow you to use our SMTP server to send email from your hosting account with us. We also provide SMTP on alternative port 26 for those advanced users who may have ISP's blocking port 25.
Email Aliases
Email aliases are similar to email forwarders, and allow you to setup email addresses @yoursite.com which will forward to mailboxes elsewhere, such as to your @hotmail, or to multiple other email recipients.
Auto Responders
Auto responders can be setup from your control panel and allow you to setup a pre-written reply which will be sent instantly to anyone emailing a set email address
Mailing Lists
We pre-install "Majordomo" mailing list software to your hosting account, allowing you to easily maintain a mailing list. You can also install most other popular mailing list software
POP3 & IMAP Access
Our service fully supports POP3 and IMAP access to your mailboxes. This allows you to choose any popular email program to access your email such as MS Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird and Eudora
MailFoundry Spam & Virus Filter
We provide premium MailFoundry spam filtering for your email as standard. This industry-leading spam filtering removes 99% of all spam and viruses from your emails. You wont find better filtering!
Email Forwarding
Email forwarding simply means you can forward email for user@yoursite.com hosted with us to a mailbox elsewhere such as you@hotmail.com or any other email address.
Vacation / Out of Office Reply
When you leave your email for long periods of time you can enable vacation responders, to let people know you are away from your email and that you will reply as soon as possible.
Procmail
Procmail can be used by more advanced users to manipulate, sort, and filter incoming email based on rules that you create within a text based procmail file.
