CPX: Web Based VPS control Panel

We all know how important the Internet for the world is. Any information that you might ever require is on the finger tips and is just a few keywords away. Now in this kind of information age we need look beyond just putting up the information on line. We also have to make sure that the information is accessible by anyone in the world anytime during the day and night. Now this can be a hectic task than thought of because even though information age has made world look like a small place, the world still is a geographically a big place. And hence when you think of hosting a site and making it available to everyone on line, then you have to also make sure that it has decent access speeds even when almost everyone in the world is accessing it and also see to it that the information never goes down.

Now to make this happen, we have the technology called Virtualization. Using the Virtualization platform upon the operating systems of the hosting machines, one can have a single centralized access point and can split the conglomerate of the servers into many virtual servers, which can thus act as physical servers dedicated for a specific site if the need be. This is very much desirable as the hosting service providers always look for not dedicating a physical machine for the customers as it happens to be too expensive and inefficient. Splitting the physical machine into several virtual machines can thus give the opportunity to administrators to rent it to the customers without having to trade off the efficiency and physical hardware.

Now when the customers have got the control over the virtual machine which looks like an Independent machine but is actually just a part of the physical hardware, they need a way to access and manipulate the parameters and customize the machine, from wherever they are. Here comes the need of having a control panel through which they can access their site from anywhere in the world. A control panel is nothing but a web based software, which can be run in any browser, which provides an interface to the user with which he can customize the settings of the remote virtual host. This kind of control panel is very necessary as they make the customers feel that they are the authority of the site that they have brought, and they are.

There are many webs based control panels, which are available out in the market from which the hosting providers can choose. One among the famous is CPX control panel. CPX happens to be the powerful web based interface, which can provide the users an access to their MPS and VPS accounts. CPX is capable of providing the users the ability to perform the day to day account management tasks with their site and also perform the operation of domain management. If that were not enough, CPX also provides the users an interface with which they can perform their mail operation. And thus the users can manage/send and receive their mails with the help of the interface.

The best thing about the CPX web based panel is the fact that it enhances the support for the virtual sub hosts dependent on VPS accounts. CPX also provides an opportunity to create multiple administrator accounts from which the account can be accessed and the customization can be done and also the management. It also gives the power to create many other limited accounts with limited permissions to access the server. The power of accessing the sub hosts allow the individual users of the main account to be able to set up their own accounts and manage them separately. This is a big leap in the Virtual Private Servers as the customers are always looking out for this kind of services.

From the administration point of view, the CPX panel can be divided into three main administrator or authority of control. The top one is the Server administrator who has almost all the controls upon the servers and service. The second is Domain administrator who can administer the users and domains. And the third category is of the end users who are actually the customers.

CPX panel provides various features that can be used by the end users. Web mail is the feature that CPX provides through whiich the users can manage their mails and send/receive mails and also apply filters. In User management feature one can add the users and give rights to the existing users and also delete the users who will be able to access the site. It also provides domain management tools to manage and customize the domain. File Manager is the one which is of utter importance wherein you can add,update or delete any file upon the server and also rename and relocate. The setting of the Virtual Server can also be changed using the CPX panel. All in all, CPX panel provides a portal to the site that you have purchased, and you can build anything upon it with bare hands.
