CPanel Guide

[Namjies]

Maybe a CPanel guide could be created.

I can't even set up a main page for my site and actually, I just can't work it with the CPanel. Posted for help but people seems to ignore my post. Anyway, it would be good because seriously, I don't understand anything in the CPanel.

There's the getting started wizard, but it just goes over basic options, and the videos... well the videos just show how to type things in rectangles. They don't explain anything at all.

I'd go for a CPanel guide, because that thing is driving me crazy. Thats like figuring how to build something without a manual. Ain't that great.
Edit:
and also add the possibility to delete our posts, I got a doublon now because I wanted to move my question to site management instead of free host support.

Browsing throught it but it doesn't help. I simply don't understand the content. I'm used to simple hosts where I only upload files to a specific url. Nothing more. All this stuff, I'll need more than a guide for that. I can upload my index.html file in file management, but can't get it to be accessible with my browser. Currently, I don't know how to get even one page up on the net. I'd need someone on maybe hotmail messenger. I'll ask for this in site management. Cause for now my posts are going unanswered and out of first pages.

That is the problem i havew with other hosts i use i upload my main page but i cant get it up on the net. i havnt had the chance to try it on this free host as the servers are being updated and my website cant be created yet.

well I asked in website management for people willing to explain me things on msn messenger, and i got an answer fast. Seems like people are more willing to help live, because its easier to exlain things, maybe. Now when servers are done updating, I'll try getting my website online.

In my opinion, cPanel is the easiest and one of the advanced Control Panels there is. You just go to your File Manager and upload files with their proper directory structure. And if your site uses PHP/MySQL, go to MySQL databases. You can even create file/database backup without going to PHP MyAdmin.

I'm no PHP geek, but I'm very comfortable with cPanel. If you have more questions, just post it here. The experienced members of this community will gladly help you.

I'm sure they will but its always easier to trade hotmail adresses and chat. Problemes are solved more easily and its more convenient.

I actually liked the older version of Cpanel, but that was because I could click the link and see what the page looks like after editing it. Unless they still have that and I just don't know how to access it?

If you are unable to use the cpannel to upload your pages to the website then you may be able to upload them via an FTP program. Also there are little animations that you can watch on the cpannel. These are very informative.

To see your pages via your URL you need to put your index file and all the others inside the "www" or "public_html" folder.
