A Control Panel is a web-based interface through which you can handle various aspects of your world-wide web presence. As an illustration, you can easily set up or change website files, create and check e-mail messages, control databases, check visitor statistics and so forth. Those things are done via buttons and menus within a web browser and the Control Panel can also be called ‘back office’, i.e. the administrative area associated with your web hosting account. Most Control Panels these days will permit you to manage all hosting-related matters, but you shall normally need a different system to control payments or to get a new domain in case the company offers domain registrations. Based on the platform they use, you could be able to use the billing account to open a support ticket to ask a question or to resolve a problem too, or you might have to use a third system.
