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.

Chapter 13. Useful Tools and Links and the Final Curtain Call

Congratulations! You’ve managed to hang in there and you’ve reached the final chapter of this book. cPanel is a complex tool, but you’ve taken the first few steps towards mastery by reading this book.
