cPanel User Guide and Tutorial

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.

This feature allows you to change the server that handles all incoming mail for this domain. Unfortunately, this cannot be used to add additional MX records (for backup mail service, for example). If you need extra MX records added to your domain, contact your web host.

It will map out any connections the address has and can provide information that may help tech support diagnose e‑mail problems. It will be most useful for e‑mail addresses not on the same server that you are on, since you will only see one entry for e‑mail addresses...
