cPanel for Newbies

If you are just getting started in Internet Marketing, as I am, the first thing you need to find is a good web host. There are many good hosting sites, but a lot of them are very complicated and have a sharp learning curve before you really know the basics, and even more before you understand how to use the powerful tools available on the hosts' servers. Many hosts now use a control panel called cPanel, which makes it easy for beginners to do the things they need to do with their website: uploading files, backing up the website, editing their web pages, and even viewing the statistics of how many people are visiting their website. More advanced users also find that it's easier and faster to do things using cPanel than it is using other third party tools.

cPanel offers things like:

Most hosting services have video tutorials about the tools within cPanel, and that's enough to get you started. But usually they don't cover the more advanced topics, like email authentication, protecting your downloadable files, redirecting the visitor on an error, website backup, and blocking IP addresses of people that are trying to hack your site. And how do you know who is trying to hack your site? Did you know you can put a blog on your website with just a few clicks of the mouse? These are all things you can do using cPanel. Like I said, I'm just starting out too, but I have learned a lot not only from the video tutorials, but also from videos I've watched at http://www.cpanelexposed.com. These videos explain some of the things that the standard videos do not go into in much detail.
