Parked
Domains
Domain pointers allow you to "point" or
"park" additional domain names to your existing
hosting account. This will allow users to also reach your
website when entering the "parked" or
"pointed" domain into their domain hosting plans.
For Example: Let's
say you own the business.com and innovation.com domain names.
You already have a web site for business.com, but you do not
want to create a new website for innovation.com at the moment.
By parking innovation.com on top of business.com, all URLs for
innovation.com will automatically go to business.com instead.
 Addon
Domains
Addon Domains work very much like domain pointers, except
you setup the new domain names to point to a
"sub-directory" of your hosting account.
For example: Let's
say you have your hosting account set up as yourcompany.com, but
you also own the domain name newsite.com. With the Addon Domain
feature you can setup newsite.com to "point" to a
sub-directory like yourcompany.com/newsite. You can then build a
new website in that sub-directory, and anyone who types
www.newsite into their browser would be forwarded to the website
you created in yourcompany.com/newsite.

 FTP
Manager
The FTP Manager deals with
all the tools relating to setting up and managing FTP accounts,
as well as managing FTP sessions. FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
is a method by which you can domain hosting files between computers,
usually using the Internet. There is a huge amount of
information stored on FTP servers around the world which can
only be accessed by using FTP. When using FTP you use an
application (i.e. an FTP program) called a "client" to
connect to a machine called a "server".
There are a large number
of FTP software packages available. Some of them are built in to
your browser (such as Internet Explorer), others are dedicated
applications (such as such as CuteFTP or WS_FTP), while still
others are built into web applications (File Manager in this
control panel is one example). Generally speaking, if you are
going to spend a lot of time using FTP or have a large amount of
files to upload/download, a dedicated FTP client (i.e. CuteFTP
or WS_FTP) is a much easier solution.
The control panel allows
you to set up FTP accounts so that certain external users can
access a restricted part of your hosting account. You can also
set up an anonymous FTP account so that anyone can access a
restricted part of your system. You can also manage these FTP
sessions, cutting them off if they go on for too long.

Following is a list of
the features available to you in the FTP Manager:
Warning:
FTP, by its very nature, allows external users to modify your
web site (albeit a restricted area of your web site). External domain hosting
can upload, download, and delete files. Keep this in mind
when you set up an FTP account.
 File
Manager
The File Manager allows you
to manage your site through HTML, rather than an FTP tool or
other third-party application. You can upload, create or delete
files, organize files in folders, and change file permissions.
While not as sophisticated as most FTP tools, File Manager is
free and gives you all the basic functionality necessary to
manage your site. The features available to you in the File
Manager are as follows:
Creating a new
folder: Folders are a very useful way of adding
organization and structure to your web site. They make
maintenance of the site much easier, as you can easily see
what files are in which folder. Most web sites include at
least an /image folder to keep all the image files separate
from the HTML files.
Uploading files in
File Manager: You can use File Manager to upload
files to your web site, up to 12 files in one go. Although
useful, a third-party FTP client has many more features and
does not limit you to the number of files you can upload at
one time.
Creating a new file:
For small text files it can be easier to create them online,
rather than on your home computer and uploading the file. You
can create text files, such as HTML, PHP, or plain TXT, but
not binary files.
Editing a file:
Editing a pre-existing file through File Manager allows you to
make immediate changes to your web site, without having to
upload a new version of the file. This is useful for small
changes, but would be inefficient for large amounts of coding.
Renaming a file or
folder: You can quickly rename a file or folder if
you originally labeled a file or folder with the wrong name,
or if the name needs to be updated. This is useful if a small
number of files need to be changed, since you do not need to
upload any files for the changes to take effect, but
inefficient if you needed to rename your entire site.
Changing file/folder
permissions: All files on UNIX (including Linux and
other UNIX variants) machines have access permissions. These
tell the operating system how to deal with requests to access
these files. There are three types of access:
Warning: It is
important that none of your files or folders are writable by
anyone else. Any file or folder which is writable by others
can be erased by them. Generally there is no problem, just be
careful in how you set your permissions.
Deleting a file or
folder: The control panel includes a Trash folder,
which operates the same way as the Windows Recycle Bin. All
deleted files are automatically placed in the Trash folder and
can be restored to their original positions by a simple click.
However, once you empty the Trash folder, the files are
permanently deleted. Refer to Emptying the Trash for more
information.
Restoring an item
from the trash: You can easily restore a deleted
file from the Trash by moving it from the Trash to another
folder. Restored folders are automatically moved back to their
original location. However, you will not be able to restore
the item if you have emptied the Trash since deleting it - it
has been permanently destroyed.
Emptying the trash:
domain hosting : Make sure you do not need any of the files or folders
in the Trash before you empty it, because the files are
deleted permanently once the Trash is emptied.
