A Control Panel is a web-based interface via which you can control numerous aspects of your world-wide web presence. As an illustration, you can easily create or edit website files, set up and check e-mails, control databases, check visitor stats etc. These things are carried out through buttons and menus inside a web browser and the Control Panel may also be called ‘back office’, i.e. the admin area associated with your website hosting account. Most of the Control Panels available will permit you to handle all hosting-related matters, but you'll usually need a different system to take care of payments or to get a new domain name in case the company offers domain registrations. Depending 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 also, or you might have to use a third system.
