NOTE: If your cPanel version is "x" ask me to upgrade it to "x3" which has more tools and help files.

 

cPanel Screen Shot & SOME ITEMS BELOW
Adding Domains ~ Backups ~ FTP ~ Mail ~ Maintenance ~ Traffic Stats

   
11
 
  Adding Domains Your cPanel account is set up with a Top Level Domain (domain.com) and the username and password gets you into cPanel. The same account name, login and password are also used to FTP. You can "Addon" a domain (after the DNS has been changed to point to the server) and a folder with that new added on domain name will be added to the public_html folder (click the cPanel File Manager icon (under "Files") to view and manage). NOTE: When you want to FTP to one of the added on domains, use the top level domain username and password (your cPanel Login Name & PW) and navigate your FTP program to the correct folder name inside the the public_html folder.  
       
  Adding Subdomains
Parking Domains
The procedure for adding a Subdomain is similar to adding a domain (see above) except click the "Subdomains" icon. You can add subdomains prior to a DNS change of the Top Level Domain. Parking a domain will result in the parked domain redirecting to the top level account domain.

UP
  Backups Make sure you have backups of all your web files on your own computer.

1) Either copy your own web files when you create them on your local computer, or

2) There is a backup utility on the server that you can use from your cPanel account under "Files" that will allow you to download to your local computer, your directory and database files.

By agreeing to use this server you also agree that I am not responsible for the loss of any of your files. Always keep your files backed up on your own computer. Use an external hard drive for backups or 3rd party online backup providers
 
12
UP
  FTP via http address FTP your domain's web files to www.yourdomain.com to the public_html folder. NOTE: When you want to FTP to an ADDED ON domain or subdomain, use the top level domain username and password (your cPanel Login Name & PW) and navigate your FTP program to the correct folder name inside the the public_html folder.  
     
  FTP prior to DNS change FTP URL: ftp://216.64.143.203
OR: 216.64.143.203
Your FTP Login and Password
 
       
  View web files prior to DNS change http://216.64.143.203/~username/ OR: http://greendragon.networkphantom.net/~username/  
     
  Publish via Frontpage If you have multiple domains and subdomains in your cPanel account public_html folder, you can use MS Frontpage to publish to the top level domain (the account name) whose files occupy the public_html folder. But if you want to publish to a domain or subdomain whose files are in a sub-folder inside the public_html folder, I suggest you use a stand alone FTP program like WS_FTP, Smart_FTP, Cute_FTP etal and use that program to login using the top level (account) login name and password and then navigate to the appropriate domain or subdomain folder.

  Default Mail Address Login to cPanel, under "Mail" click Default Address and leave the setting at ":fail: no such address here" otherwise you will receive spam sent to any alias@your_domain.com  
     
  Email Alias Forwards Login to cPanel, under "Mail" click Add Forwarders. ie: you@your_domain.com forwards to you@your_isp.com NOTE: do not create an Email Account (a Mailbox) if you just want a Forward (a Redirect). Here is the HELP FILE: http://twiki.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/CpanelMail
Please do not use common alias names like "info@" or "sales@". Common alias names are already in spam databases. Please also see www.235.ca/email.htm if you want to avoid spam.
 
     
  Some Email Alias Forwards Will Not Work NOTE you cannot set up an alias to forward mail to a Comcast.net or Hotmail.com email address because of their spam policies. If you try and set up an email alias <you@your_domain.com> to redirect (forward) to <you@comcast.com> or <you@hotmail.com>, cPanel will will automatically remove the forwarder (the alias) within 24hrs. Other target email addresses that have been known to get blocked or put in lengthy delivery queues are Shaw.ca and AOL.com. So either change your alias forward to redirect to another email account like Gmail, Yahoomail etc. or create a Mailbox for the alias (see FAQ below) or use your ISP mail account.  
     
  Mailbox Login to cPanel, under "Mail" click Email Accounts. Either use Webmail via Horde (the webserver webmail program with limited management tools) to manage your mail (your mail is stored on the webserver) or configure a full featured email program (like Outlook) on your own computer so that it fetches your mail from the webserver when you open your mail program. See Configure Outlook FAQ below. You must allocate some of your web hosting space to your mail account.  
       
  Webmail Login http://your_domain.com/webmail OR
http://www.2358.ca/webmail OR
http://216.64.143.203/webmail
Login Name: username@your_domain.com
Password: your password
 
       
  Configure Outlook
  1. Login to cPanel > Mail > Email Accounts and add an account name (eg: your_name@your-domain name)
  2. Click the Auto-Configure link that refers to your setup needs, follow directions.
  3. Open your Mail Client (eg: Outlook) > Tools > Options > Mail Setup > Email Accounts and Add a New Mail account with the same name, login and password that you used for setting up the Mailbox name in cPanel (your_name@ etc)
  4. If your Email client (your email program) does not auto-configure your new account mail account name then do so manually using the "manual settings" referred to in cPanel ie: Incoming Mail Server is: mail.your-domain-name.com and and Outgoing Mail Server is Your ISP Outgoing Mail Server Name (Look at your existing setup to get the Outgoing Mail Server Name)
  5. Send a test email to confirm set up.
  6. If the test email fails, go over the instructions again carefully and make notes of your precise steps and any error messages and the outcome.
  7. NOTE: If you are using WindowsMail and the above does not work, try Port 26 for SMTP (instead of Port 25)... some ISPs block Port 25.
 
       
  Configure iPhone To configure your iPhone for email:
  1. From the Dashboard, click Settings.
  2. Under Settings, select Mail.
  3. Select Add Account.
  4. Select Other as the type of account.
  5. Select POP.
  6. Enter the requested information:
    * Name: the name of the mail user
    * Address: the email address of the mail user
    * Description: a description of the mail user
    * Host Name: enter the mail server mail.your_domain.com (incoming mail server and external mail server)
    * User Name: enter the full email address (incoming mail server and external mail server)
    * Password: enter the users password (incoming mail server and external mail server)
  7. Click Save.
  8. If you see a message that says "Cannot Connect Using SSL", click Yes when asked to setup the account without SSL.
  9. Click Settings for the account you just created.
  10. Click Advanced.
  11. Set Incoming Uses SSL and Outgoing Use SSL to OFF.
  12. Under Incoming settings, click Authentication and select Password.
  13. Under Outgoing settings, click Authentication and select Password.

RE: SSL settings: A client wrote me with the comment: "I thought my iPhone was jamming or stuck processing the initial error message because no buttons on the iPhone were responding once it went into the mode of verifying the server. But then it dinged in my pocket and gave me the second SSL option that the support ticket above described, and then it worked."

If a problem persists, please send me your IP address(http://whatismyip.com/) and a screenshot image of your current mail settings in cPanel.

  PHP Mail For PHP Mail, use SMTP Authentication:

 <?php
    require_once "Mail.php";

    $from = "Sandra Sender <sender@example.com>";
    $to = "Ramona Recipient <recipient@example.com>";
    $subject = "Hi!";
    $body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";

    $host = "mail.example.com";
    $username = "smtp_username";
    $password = "smtp_password";

    $headers = array ('From' => $from,
      'To' => $to,
      'Subject' => $subject);
    $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
      array ('host' => $host,
        'auth' => true,
        'username' => $username,
        'password' => $password));

    $mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

    if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
      echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
     } else {
      echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
     }
    ?>

  Maintenance Keep your hosting cost down by removing unneeded files from your cPanel account. Login and check the "Disk Space Usage" file (cPanel>Files>Disk Space Usage). Notice that the two biggest folders are the "tmp" Folder and the "public_html" folder. Next go to your File Manager (cPanel>Files>File Manager), select "show hidden files" and look in your public_html folder and remove any unwanted files that you may have uploaded that are no longer needed. Then via the File Manager, go into the tmp folder and remove older traffic files (AWstats and Webalizer) that are no longer needed. You can also go into the "Choose Log Programs" (cPanel>logs) and select just one of the two available Traffic Stat programs (AWstats or Webalizer - both are set up by default). If you need temporary storage or file sharing for large files, then try a Google Docs Account, see: http://235.ca/useful-tools.htm#Storage for ultra cheap storage and file sharing space.

UP
  Traffic Stats The server we are on does not allow public URLs of the traffic stats for security reasons. To check your traffic stats, login to cPanel and under "Logs" click Webalizer or AWstats. Both traffic stat applications are set up by default. You can go into the "Choose Log Programs" (cPanel>Logs) and select just one of the two available programs (Awstats or Webalizer) or both.
