cPanel User Guide and Tutorial

By: Aric Pedersen

Overview of this book

"A great book for getting the most out of your cPanel-supporting web host" If you have web hosting requirements beyond the most basic, you should look for a host that offers cPanel. cPanel gives you tight control over every aspect of your web site, email accounts, and domain names. But once you've got a web site with cPanel support, how do you go about using it? While the documentation included with cPanel may provide a quick reference, to really get the most from it you need a more detailed, systematic tutorial. Read this book to find out exactly how to get the most from cPanel in all aspects of your web site management: web, email, FTP, security, domains, back ups, and more.

The text explaining this feature in cPanel claims that it displays the last 300 visitors, but it actually displays the last 300 hits (clicks). This tool can take a few seconds to be displayed after you click on the Last Visitors link.

You can see which files or pages the visitor tried to access, when they visited, and some basic information about them.

Bandwidth

Each web stats program keeps track of bandwidth usage, but each stats program computes bandwidth differently....
