Most hosting companies provide a control panel where you can access your logs, set up email accounts, create sub domains and even manage your files.
The most common control panel used (probably because it is the best available) is called cPanel, this is generally provided free of charge by most reputable web hosting companies.
cPanel access differs from one hosting provider to another, some access it through a port at the end of the domain (e.g domain.com:1234) others provide a directory type structure (e.g domain.com/cpanel).
Once logged into cPanel you are presented with a wide range of options and useful information about your hosting account, how much diskspace you are using on your account and how many resources you have available.
We will address these features one by one in this tutorial section.
