Server Control Panel Options
A server is only as good as the software used to manage it. The Planet offers the best control panels that the hosting industry has to offer. Control panels simplify the day-to-day management of your dedicated server, whether it's for the individual use of your business or to facilitate shared hosting for multiple customers. Windows or Linux — it's your choice — we have a wide selection of control panels to fit the requirements of your server.
Key Control Panel Benefits
Easier Administration
Control panels are designed to automate a number of hosting related server administration functions for Web sites, making complex administration tasks much easier.
Enhanced Reseller Management
A reseller server administrator uses a control panel to set up new Web sites, e-mail accounts, and DNS entries through a web-based interface. The administrator can typically create client and site templates, and predetermine resource allocation parameters for the domains and/or clients.
