A Control Panel is a web-based interface through which you can handle different aspects of your web presence. As an illustration, you could set up or change website files, set up and check e-mail messages, control databases, check visitor stats and so on. These things are carried out using buttons and menus in an internet browser and the Control Panel may also be called ‘back office’, i.e. the admin area associated with your hosting account. Most Control Panels available will permit you to handle all hosting-related matters, but you shall usually require a different system to take care of payments or to get a new domain in case the company offers domain registrations. With respect to the platform they utilize, you can be able to use the billing account to open a support ticket to ask a question or to troubleshoot and fix an issue as well, or you may need to use a 3rd system.
