The Hostingboy Site Control Panel

Web file managers have been around for years. But they’re inconvenient, slow, difficult to use and lacking in features. We have changed the situation. Our File Manager behaves much more like a desktop file manager than a traditional web file manager. You can upload files by dragging ’n’ dropping them, or move files and folders around. You can use our integrated code editors and preview pictures. You can compress/uncompress files or folders directly online.

And everything’s done with only a click.

Whilst composing and sending an e–mail message is easy, administering your e–mail boxes could be problematic. The Mail Manager included in the Hostingboy Site Control Panel is here to help you with that. It offers a streamlined user interface from where you can swiftly forward emails, create e–mail filters, activate anti–spam protection, etc.

In case you use a mail client, we offer you some handy auto–config scripts – just download a file and it will configure your electronic mail account immediately. You can also utilize our webmail client – it’s full–featured and you can access it from any place in the world.

Our Domain Manager is the only place you need to visit in order to administer your domain names. With only a few mouse clicks, you can forward or park domains, change WHOIS records or change DNS resource records.

And the best part is that, when you’re ready, you can instantly begin working on your site – you can upload new files, create databases or install software programs. All thanks to the fact that all the tools are located in one Site Control Panel.

If you would like to guard your web application against attacks, then ModSecurity is here to assist you. It is a firewall program built to impede hacker assaults, XSS attacks and URL forgery assaults. It operates automatically according to an array of pre–determined rules and requires no attention on your end.

With our Site Control Panel, ModSecurity will be activated automatically for all domains. You can deactivate it anytime you wish.

With the Hostingboy Site Control Panel, you can easily set up an automatic backup of your web sites and your MySQL and PostgreSQL databases in your Dropbox account.

Our Dropbox backup service is completed automated – all you have to do is connect your Dropbox account and specify how many backup copies you wish to keep at all times.

To help you more efficiently market your web site to customers and rank higher in search engines, we have created a set of free Internet marketing tools, which come bundled with our Site Control Panel – a Sitemap Generator, an RSS News module and a GeoIP forwarding tool.
