A Control Panel is a web-based user interface through which you can handle various aspects of your web presence. As an example, you can easily set up or modify website files, create and check e-mail messages, handle databases, check visitor stats and so forth. Those things are executed using buttons and menus in a web browser and the CP may also be called ‘back office’, i.e. the admin area associated with your Internet hosting account. Most of the Control Panels on the market will allow you to manage all hosting-related matters, but you shall usually need a different system to control payments or to get a new domain name when the company offers domain registrations. Based on the platform they utilize, you can be able to use the billing account to open a support ticket to ask a question or to troubleshoot an issue as well, or you may need to use a third system.
