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 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 - You can have the server deny mail from anyone, or with any subject.

E-Mail Forwarders - A forward account sends mail sent to user@domain.com to an address completely out of your domain. For example if mike had an AOl account and wanted to check all his mail there you could setup mike to forward to mike1234ws@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.

FTP Manager

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.
