What is - cPanel?

cPanel is a user-friendly control panel that simplifies the management of your website and shared server. It allows you to manage your website files, create MySQL databases, manage domains, FTP accounts, email accounts, SSL certificates and more. cPanel allows users to create websites using a variety of content management systems (CMS) including WordPress, Drupal, Magento and Joomla, monitor disk space usage, check server logs, and edit website files through cPanel.

What is Shared Hosting?

Shared hosting is the most popular and affordable option for hosting your website. Multiple users share the same physical server and resources in exchange for greatly reduced costs – you're renting space on our servers so you don't have to build and run your own. Typically, small business websites don't use many server resources, so shared hosting provides a reliable service at a low cost. This is a great option if you are just getting started.

What is the difference between web hosting and cPanel?

Web hosting is the infrastructure that makes your website available on the internet, while cPanel is software that makes it easy to use and manage the hosting service. You can manage your shared server without a control panel, however it is not recommended unless you have some serious technical expertise.

How does web hosting work?

Your website is stored on our shared hosting servers and is identified with a unique DNS address. Essentially your domain name is mapped to its own IP address that allows people around Australia and the world to view your website.

How long does it take to set-up cPanel hosting?

>You shouldn't have to wait to get your website up and running. Our new cPanel hosting accounts are activated the same day, typically within minutes of purchase

What is AutoSSL?

An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity and enables an encrypted connection. Ultimately, it provides a secure environment for both visitors and site owners. AutoSSL is a part of cPanel and solves the tedious issue of manual SSL installation and renewal. And you can rest assured that your coverage will never lapse, because at expiration time a new, free SSL is requested and automatically installed. AutoSSL provides a DV Sectigo certificate created and managed within the cPanel account.

All hosting accounts are backed up on a daily basis. The Acronis feature within cPanel allows self-service one click restore functionality of your website files from the last 7 days. Alternatively you can back-up your files whenever you like using the same Jetbackup feature.

Content Management
Content Management Systems (CMS) are applications designed to manage dynamic content for websites.

All CMS applications have the ability to manage news or blogs and all include a templating system that allows the appearance/style of web pages to be controlled. The more advanced applications can include a near endless list of additional features, including: categories; commenting; user logins; polls; statistics; file managers; FAQ managers; and so on.

CMS applications generally fit into the following loose categories: Blogs (also known as weblogs), CMSs, Portals (modular features that can be added into a standard three-column page layout), and Frameworks (do-it-yourself systems).
