A Control Panel is a web-based interface via which you can manage various aspects of your web presence. As an example, you can set up or modify website files, set up and check email messages, manage databases, check visitor statistics and so on. These things are carried out using buttons and menus within a web browser and the CP may also be called ‘back office’, i.e. the admin area associated with your Internet hosting account. Most Control Panels on the market will enable you to manage all hosting-related matters, but you'll normally require a different system to manage payments or to get a new domain name when the company offers domain registrations. Based on the platform they utilize, you can be able to use the billing account to open a support ticket to ask a question or to diagnose a problem as well, or you might have to employ a third system.
