If you have an existing site that is already run on CPanel and wish to transfer it to a new hosting company (as an example, if you're transferring your account to BlueHost) there is good news. Unlike plenty of other control systems which lock you into one provider, CPanel isn't exclusive, which implies you can move to another server without fear of radically screwing up your website. Each web host with CPanel installed uses the same file types and file layouts, so in most cases websites move unreservedly.
The package costs $6.95 a month and includes stuff that thankfully is very useful. For example you get a free domain, site promotion package and a free Ecommerce shopping cart for setting up online stores.
From the first time you use it, cPanel is easy to understand, with a great user interface. Once you delve into it, it becomes even more impressive. It's a real treasure chest, everything you'll ever need for your web hosting, laid out in a logical display. Some of the features you may recognize, others, maybe not. Search Engine Optimization and email are two you're sure to be familiar with.
If any of your sites are your source of income, however small, you don't want that site to be the experimental stage for budding webmasters. So how can you both test applicants and protect your sites? I have several sites that have been established for years. I also share the webspace with a business check here partner. There is no way I can give an untried, untrusted person full cPanel access to my Bluehost account.
Other attractions they tell you about are the absence of hidden fees, free setup and a full, money back guarantee. This sounds like a good offer but sometimes when they look too good to be true, you can wind up disappointed. Having said that, at the price they ask and a full refund available, you might just try it.
If you've changed to another web hosting provider then you will need to update your incoming and outgoing mail server settings in your email client's program. In my case, this would be Mozilla Thunderbird. If they are the same web hosting provider then most likely the incoming and outgoing mail servers will be the same so no need to change anything here.
