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.

Index Manager


Typically, if you try to access a directory (rather than a file) that exists on your server, and there isn’t an index page (index.html, index.htm, index.php, default.html, default.htm, default.php) your web browser will display a list of all the files in that directory. You can then click on any of the files to view or download them. If you don’t want to allow people to do this (a good idea if you have sensitive files stored in a directory inside your public_html directory), then you can use the Index Manager to turn off directory listing on a per‑directory basis.

Just click on the directory you want to turn on/off directory listing in and then choose the level of protection you desire. Leave the directory set to the default system setting, do not allow any directory indexing, provide only a plain text listing of documents, or provide a list that includes text links and small graphics to represent the type of file or directory the item listed is.
