Chapter 1. Introduction to cPanel Hosting

The cPanel web hosting software is an easy-to-use, feature-rich tool for managing your website. But before we dive into all of cPanel’s features, we need to have a basic idea about cPanel—What is it used for, what tools will you need to get started working with cPanel, how to locate a web host that offers cPanel, and what to look for in a good host.

So let’s start by learning a little bit about what exactly is cPanel.

Webmaster, Meet cPanel…

Once you’ve decided that you want to create your own website, you have a lot of work ahead. You need to design content and figure out how to upload it to your site. Then you need to attract people to your site and manage any other features that your web host may offer such as e-mail, databases, subdomains, site security, etc. If you have no previous experience with handling any of this, it can be quite overwhelming.

cPanel is a web hosting control software that can be accessed using any modern web browser. It is designed to make the complex task of managing your hosting account easy. With the aid of cPanel and this book you should be able to get your new site up and running in no time.
