Our control panel makes setting up your Web site easy! The control panel
itself is an intuitive, Web-based, user-friendly, graphical interface
that permits quick and easy access to all the features available to your
particular account plan. The features inside the control panel automate
processes that users must do manually with other hosting services.
Accessing The Control Panel
If your domain name is not yet live on our servers either because it
hasn’t been registered yet or because the transfer
hasn’t been completed, you can access your control
panel within any browser by using the hostname of the
server as follows:
http://www.catisp.com/cpanel/
Username: Your Account Username
Password: Your Account Password
Note: Your account username can be found in the
Account Setup Confirmation Email that was sent to you
when your account was initially setup. If you did not
receive the Account Setup Confirmation Email please
contact our Support Department at (757) 313-7100 and
we will send it to the email address that you used when
you signed up.
If your domain is live on our servers, you can access your control panel
within any browser by typing the following in your browser (replace <domainname.com>
with your actual domain name):
http://<domainname.com>/cpanel/
Username: Your Account Username
Password: Your Acccount Password
Note: Your account username can be found in the Account
Setup Confirmation Email that was sent to you when your
account was initially setup. If you did not receive
the Account Setup Confirmation Email please contact
our Support Department at (757) 313-7100 and we will
send it to the email address that you used when you

Control Panel Features
*Note: Some users may have different
Icons in their control panel than the ones shown below.
your control panel may be using a different theme.
 Add/Remove Email
Accounts
Used to add and remove new pop account users.
 Default Email
Address
Set a default catch-all email address for your account. (Quick Note: It
is not necessary to create email aliases as your default email account
acts as a catch-all account. In other words anything@yourdomain.com will
be delivered to your default mail account.)
 Autoresponders
Add email autoresponders to your account so that when someone writes to
an email address that you define an email with a message of your choice
is automatically sent to them.
 Block Email
Filter email from your account that you don’t want to receive.
 Email Forwarding
Forward email from any alias to an external email address.
 MySQL Database
MySQL is a database engine that you can use with your Web site. There
are two separate features in the control panel. One allows you to create
your databases and assign users while the other feature permits you to
edit the database.
 Mime Types
MIME = Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions - Add Mime Types to your
account. Mime Types are an advanced feature. You should not use this option
from the control panel with FrontPage Extensions installed. You will have
to use FrontPage to perform this function.
 FrontPage Extensions
Install and uninstall your account's FrontPage Extensions at the click
of a button.
Note to FrontPage users: Most of the options in your control panel will
not work with FrontPage Extensions installed. It's a known fact throughout
the industry that Microsoft has established itself as a "world in
itself" and therefore the majority of their software is incompatible
with the other world. We provide FP Extensions as a courtesy to those
that know how to use it and prefer it over the more common methods of
designing Web sites.
 FTP Manager
Add FTP users to your account, both regular and anonymous, change anonymous
policies, view who is online, and boot anyone from a session.
 Error Pages
Customize how your error pages look. It includes: 400, 401, 403, 404,
and 500 error pages.
 File Manager
Using the File Manager you can view all the directories and files in your
account, change permissions for directories and files, create directories,
create and edit files, and upload files from your hard drive to your account.
 Web Protect
Password protecting your directories has never been easier. This option
allows you to select the directory you wish to password protect from a
drop down box and then enter usernames and passwords of those you want
to allow access to that part of your Web site and remove them just as
easily...all at the click of a button.
Note: You cannot use this option with FrontPage. If you’d like to
password protect directories and you’re using FrontPage, then this
option will have to be done in FrontPage rather than from the control
panel.
 Raw Access Logs
View and download your raw access log files for viewing in a text editor
or third-party Web statistics analyzer.
 Web/FTP Statistics
This option will assist you in monitoring visitors to and from your site.
This area features 3 different views of your traffic: Analog, which basically
provides you with a quick summary, Webalizer, which provides you with
more detailed information, and Last 300 Visitors, with detailed information
on each. In addition you’ll find the bandwidth monitoring feature
where you can see how many bytes of transfer your account has done. This
area also contains a link to access your error log, which will assist
you in trouble shooting your scripts.
 Chat Room
This option will allow you to setup a Web based chat on your site.

Random HTML Editor
Guestbook
