A tool that has quickly become very popular
and rather useful for web hosts is called
cPanel. It allows them to distribute server
resources amongst a number of accounts and
users. This way, a single system can be
utilized by a number of individuals,
organizations and businesses without trouble.
It is rather easy to administrate. Adding
accounts, users, and linking them to the
hosted domains and file trees is a
straightforward and simple process.
