A Control Panel is a software tool employed to manage the content of an Internet hosting account. Including, but is not limited to, files, email messages, databases, statistics as well as other operations carried out with them. The CP provides a web-based interface to control all of these things and everything else relevant to the website hosting service using different sections where you can access features through menus and/or buttons. The less difficult to use a Control Panel is, the easier it shall be for you to control your world-wide web presence in its entirety. In the general scenario, the CP is the hosting account’s back office, while a separate billing account is employed to handle payments and domain name registrations - if the company provides that particular service. Trouble tickets can be handled from the billing account or via a separate system.
