The administration of all hosting-related aspects is conducted using a software tool known as ‘Control Panel’. There are several brand names that provide more or less capabilities, but overall, they all permit you to control site files, to set up email addresses and databases, to see account usage stats or what amount of traffic your website visitors have generated. You are able to carry out these actions via buttons and menus, and you'll feel like you’re managing your own computer system. The billing part is typically handled via a different system, which can include domain name registrations as well - if the company provides this kind of services. Oftentimes, trouble tickets may be opened usingthe exact same system, while in others, this can be done through a different support interface, so you could find yourself using 3 user interfaces with a single web hosting account.
