A Control Panel is a web-based interface using which you can control various aspects of your web presence. As an illustration, you may set up or change website files, create and check e-mails, control databases, check visitor statistics and so on. These things are carried out through buttons and menus in a web browser and the CP can also be called ‘back office’, i.e. the admin area associated with your website hosting account. Most Control Panels available on the market will allow you to control all hosting-related matters, but you shall normally require a different system to deal with payments or to get a new domain if the company offers domain registrations. Based on the platform they utilize, you could be able to use the billing account to open a support ticket to ask a question or to resolve a problem as well, or you may need to employ a 3rd system.
