Control Panel - At Electronic Tech Services, our goal is to make hosting simple for everyone. One of our most remarkable features is our Control Panel. It allows you to manage all aspects of your hosting account, and is handy for both the novice and experienced webmaster and is available in English, Spanish, German, French and Romanian.

Features - We offer an amazing long list of features with your web hosting account, all managed within your web site control panel.  Check out the demo, or look below for a list and description of some of the tools we include for your web site.

Control Panel Feature List and Descriptions

Mail Manager
E-mail control panel allows instant creation of e-mail POP3, forwards,
and aliases.

Add/Remove Accounts - This is where you create POP3 or IMAP mailboxes for your domain.
You can have a mailbox for anyone@yourdomain.com

Default Email Address - This feature is automatically configured when your account is set up. A default email address is a catch-all address which will direct any mail to your domain without a valid address to another mailbox. For example, if someone sends an email to bob@yourdomain.com and you do not have a mailbox for bob, then the message will go to the set default mailbox.

AutoResponders - An autoresponder is an automatic email generated to a sender when a certain email address receives mail.

Filters -Email filters can easily be setup so users can manage incoming email address. These are very similar to the way Outlook uses filters. Filters are very useful for webmasters with large amounts of spam coming. If Spam Assassin is installed and operational, a custom filter can be setup to automatically delete all email that Spam Assassin deems as spam.

There is also a testing section, to test filters that have been added. Just simply fill out the required information and hit “Test Filter”. It will then display how the message will be affected by the new filters that have just been put into place.)

E-Mail Forwarders - A forward account sends mail sent to user@domain.com to an address completely out of your domain. For example if john had an AOl account and wanted to check all his mail there you could setup john to forward to john3435xs@aol.com. You may also set up a forwarder within your domain. For example, if you want mail for bobsmith@yourdomain.com to go to bob@yourdomain.com.

Mail Lists - Set up a list to send emails to a large group of subscribers. This tool has many configurations, from a newsletter or more. You can set who can subscribe, and how... who can post to your list and more.
Note: we do not allow unsolicited email (SPAM) on our server, please make sure your list subscribers know they are going to get emails from your list so they do not complain to us.

Spam Assassin - Spam Assassin is a free program that comes with all cPanel and WHM installations. It’s used to filter out incoming email on a server side basis. Meaning it’s sorted through as it comes into the server. If this is available to a user, they are able to activate or deactivate it from this section. There is also a Spam Assassin Spam Box that can be enabled also. Meaning that all email that Spam Assassin deems as spam, will be forwarded to this box and can be viewed by the user at a later date.

Spam Blocker included with all accounts!

WebMail Login
Another way to log in and read your email anytime with the web based email tool.

FTP Manager
Accounts Used for managing access accounts to your web space. The creation of an FTP account will allow users to log into a sub directory from your main account without gaining access to your main accounts. Sessions show any users that are currently logged into your domain. Settings allow you to modify access to your anonymous FTP site.

Password Changes
This changes the passwords for your account.

File Manager
Allows you to modify the files in your website in real-time via a web based interface. You can perform many commands such as chmod as well as actually edit the file and save it directly to the web server.

Custom Error Pages
This section lets you customize the errors that your users will see instead of the generic server errors. You could setup a 404 page to redirect users to your main web site instead of the default error document.

SSH
The control panel has a built in SSH (Telnet) client that allows you to log into your account and test perl scripts and perform other functions.

Web Page Protection (Protect Directory)
Web page protection is used to limit access to any directory to users who enter a username/password.

MySQL Database
This is where you set up and manage your MySQL databases.

Raw Access Logs
A log file is a record of all transfers that were requested by visitors to your site.

Web/FTP Access Stats
Provides access to many different programs that will analyze your access logs and show you more information about your web sites traffic. This also gives you a grapical look method (bar and pie graphs) detailing where your visitors came from, what search engines visited your site, what part of the world they live in, the days, hours your site is visited most and more! Some of the included programs are: Webalizer, Analog, AWStats.

Error Logs
This will show any errors, such as files, images, pages not loading, missing files. You may find any errors in your html or cgi scripts as well.

Search Engine Submit
A handy tool that will help you submit your site to some of the most popular search engines.

IP Deny Manager
Block any range of IPs from accessing your site.

CGI

We have numerous customizable cgi scripts that have been pre-installed on the server for you to use with your own account. The only thing you'll need to do is select the script you are interested in using, select the colors, style etc., and click the "Make HTML" button. You can then paste the HTML output into any of your HTML files to use that system cgi program.
Here are just a few pre-installed scripts:

Some Scripts or Features may not be included with all services.

Other included Control Panel tools:
Cron Jobs
Some programs require you to install a cron job on the server. The control panel automates this installation so you do not need to ask support to install it for you.

Network Tools
A few helpful tools like dns lookup and traceroute.

Mime Types
A MIME type is basically what tells the web server that a .html document is a web page, and that a .gif doc is a gif image etc. If you would like to configure a custom MIME type such as making .pictures a gif image file you would enter it here.

Apache Handlers
A "handler" is an internal Apache representation of the action to be performed when a file is called. Generally, files have implicit handlers, based on the file type. Normally, all files are simply served by the server, but certain file types are "handled" separately.

Todays Backup
A very handy tool will allow you to download a backup of your site. Although we have backups on site here, it is ALWAYS a good idea to keep a recent backup of your site locally on your computer as well in case there is a problem, or you delete a file accidentally. You can also easily restore backups of your site as well.
