WHAT IS A CONTROL PANEL? EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

 * By Elvis Plesky
 * March 1, 2018
 * Business and industry, Product and technology

6
Minutes

Managing web services offered by a hosting provider used to require extensive
sysadmin knowledge, including the ability to control server services via CLI.
For some experts, this can be an effective way to manage servers. But for most
system admins, a control panel with a GUI presents a much easier way to manage
and monitor all hosted services you use.

This smoothens how you manage your services – be it web hosting, mailboxes,
server databases, DNS settings and more. Monitoring is another important control
panel function. And the better hosting control panels will offer you ways to
stay abreast of CPU, memory and bandwidth use.

Superiority and functionality of panels will vary. But what you need to look out
for is a user-friendly GUI, the ability to run Cron jobs as well as advanced
security features. Let’s go for a full run-through what your next control panel
should look like, what to expect, and what you shouldn’t settle for.


BASIC ELEMENTS OF A CONTROL PANEL

Effectively take charge of a website hosting environment and make sure the
website control panel you choose offers the following essential, basic
functions.


DOMAIN AND DNS MANAGEMENT

You depend on domains to access website resources. Hence, your control panel
should have a section that lets you manage everything about the domains you’re
hosting on your server. This includes new add-ons and subdomains, or managing
existing ones.


SUBDOMAINS

Subdomains allow you to create a separate website area or an entirely new
website. All while still using your main domain name. So it can be useful to add
a prefix to your website domain name, such as support.domain.com. Your control
panel needs to allow you to create as many subdomains as you need. The power’s
yours!


ADD-ON DOMAINS

Most control panels will give you the option to add a number of domains to the
hosting environment. You’ll find these as “Add-on domains”. Now, you can choose
to assign an add-on domain to a specific website. Or you can simply park it if
you currently don’t want the domain to point to any website. Note that a parked
domain can point to an existing website. So in this case, every request for that
domain is simply redirected to another website of your choice.


DNS MANAGEMENT

Can you imagine if all your DNS data was scattered? You can usually host all the
DNS data for a domain on your hosting environment itself. Including the entire
range of DNS records, like nameserver and A records, MX records and TXT records.
The right hosting control panel for you will allow you to fully customize DNS
for each add-on domain you host.


FILE MANAGER

Organization is key. How can you keep track of all your the files on your
server? You need an easy way to upload, remove and manage these files. So your
control panel should present a GUI that enables quick and easy file management.
The simpler, the better. Because whether you use a CMS such as WordPress, or
not, file management is a basic daily task for admins. Solving CMS issues is
also much quicker with a file manager. There is an alternative – enter FTP (File
Transfer Protocol), still supported by most control panels, to be honest. But
FTP requires using a separate software application which you’ll need to set up
on the side.


MAILBOX MANAGEMENT

You’ll have multiple email accounts (also known as mailboxes) associated with
each domain. Your control panel should come to the rescue here too by letting
you create, remove and otherwise manage these accounts. It’s common for web
hosting packages to include POP3 or even IMAP email free of charge.

Mail forwarding is another important feature you should look out for. Doesn’t
matter whether you are forwarding to an internal email account or an email
account hosted elsewhere. Another common practice for control panels is allowing
you to configure anti-SPAM solutions ( including DKIM, SPF and DMARC ). Handy
because it lets you monitor and protect incoming emails against blacklists and
open-source filtering databases.

Here are three great tools that free you from junk email by the way.


LOGGING AND MONITORING

Every system administrator should stay on top of key usage statistics, such as
visitor counts, memory use and the total use of bandwidth. A control panel will
help you identify websites which use excessive amounts of server resources. As
well as enable you to avoid high bandwidth charges – before it is too late.


ADVANCED CONTROL PANEL FEATURES

Not every control panel offers the same features. Although you should make sure
basic elements are covered, we recommend you consider the following features too
when you evaluate a control panel.


SECURITY: TLS/SSL

The ability to manage TLS/SSL is an essential feature of your control panel.
These encryption features prevent your confidential data from getting
intercepted. So you can protect user credentials and credit card numbers that
hackers can effortlessly steal, via something as common as an unsecured wifi
connection.

Check out 5 tips to make your site and server more secure.


FURTHER SECURITY FEATURES

Here at Plesk, we expect all control panels to offer more advanced security
features in this day and age. For example, you can get protection against
HotLinking. What’s HotLinking? Well, it’s when an unscrupulous website owner
links videos or images on your website. And then they display these media assets
as their own content.

There are two problems with this. First, the website is stealing your content.
Secondly, it’s stealing your bandwidth. HotLink protection can restrict the
access other servers have to image files on your server.

Also, consider that you need to be able to block access to a web server
directory in all cases. Unless there’s a file that the web server can load, such
as index.html. Leaving directory access unrestricted can lead to security
threats taking hold.

Read more about why Security is important and how Fail2ban, ModSecurity, and
Firewalls help.


MODSECURITY

Have you thought about unauthorized users? Included in some control panels,
ModSecurity is an application firewall that’s operated on an open-source basis.
And it helps you monitor applications, while also logging activity and
implementing access limits where necessary. One way of blocking access is by
blocking IP addresses. ModSecurity will help you do this.

It also helps to have SSH access, which gives you encrypted file transfers and
logins. Useful to configure the remaining services that you cannot configure via
the control panel.


AUTOMATION

There’s only so much time in a day, right? And you don’t want to be working
round the clock. Automating server maintenance is useful for system
administrators because it frees up time they can use for other tasks.

Many control panels allow you to use Cron as a scheduler, which runs scripts at
specific times on specific days. Great for automating server tasks like database
view updates, performing backups and checking your site for broken links.


CUSTOM ERROR PAGES

Standard rule of System administration – Glitches will happen. And you don’t
want to serve an unprofessional error message to customers, revealing who your
hosting provider is. This is where the custom error message comes in.

You can customize a range of messages in a worthy control panel, including the
typical “404 – not found” message. Your messages can, of course, be more
descriptive and contain elements including your company logo and instructions on
finding help.


MANAGING DATABASES

The bigger the website, the more users and the more content involved. Larger
websites will manage content by means of a database. Any CMS, such as WordPress,
will install a database on your web server. As is the case for most e-commerce
platforms.

In turn, many hosting services supply MySQL as an open-source DBMS (Database
Management System). Your control panel will let you add, configure and remove
databases as you need.


CUSTOM VERSUS COMMERCIAL AND OPEN SOURCE CONTROL PANELS

Web hosts tend to offer one of two types of control panels. One is a commercial
or open source control panel. Usually purchased from a third party, like a
million other web hosts around the world. Or you can have a custom panel that is
proprietary to the web host, often developed in-house. Custom control panels can
be very clean and easy to use. But be aware that they are sometimes unexpectedly
limited in functionality.

Some custom control panels, however, are a real mess and become more of an
obstacle when it comes to server management tasks. Beginners can also struggle
to switch from a custom panel to a more fully-featured panel later on. If you
choose a host that uses a popular control panel, like Plesk, you’ll find you can
easily switch to another host without needing to re-train your staff on the new
control panel.

But if you’re confused, see which made our list of hosting control panels for
2019.


SO WHY HAVE A CONTROL PANEL?

You’ll find control panels included in almost all hosting packages. The control
panel your host uses is unlikely to be the most important factor you consider
when choosing a host, but it’s an important consideration nonetheless.

And as with any software product, the optimal way to evaluate a website control
panel is to experience it yourself. Most panels offer a live online preview or
free trial which helps you evaluate the functionality and GUI user-friendliness.
Plesk offers a free trial, so while you’re here, check it out and see how it
feels.

It’s a good idea to try and perform the routine tasks you regularly perform and
to compare how long it takes you. A visually-stunning control panel is not
necessarily the most effective tool. Luckily we’re a bit of both. But don’t take
our word for it. Try it out before you decide, and get in touch with us if you
need to.

    Control Panel is a component that provides the ability to view and change
    system settings. It is consists of a set of applets that include adding or
    removing hardware and software, controlling user accounts, changing
    accessibility options, and accessing networking settings it is necessary to
    be there. Thanks for sharing this.

    I need to try the free version. How long does the free version last? Is it
    just a little reduced from the function?
