Could you explain the purposes for hosting account directories?

cgi-bin path = /home/username/public_html/cgi-bin http path = /home/username/public_html cgi url = http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/yourscript.cgi Perl = /usr/bin/perl sendmail = /usr/lib/sendmail date program = /bin/date Directory to upload files = public_html

How to start the Control Panel

Just enter:

http://YOUR-IP-ADDRESS/cpanel/ or http://your-site.xyz/cpanel/

Please don’t forget to replace “YOUR-IP -ADDRESS” or “your-site.xyz” with your real IP address or domain name :)

Page content preview
Just enter: http://YOUR-IP-NUMBER/~Your_UserName
where: Your_UserName and YOUR-IP-NUMBER see in the setup e-mail.

You need to place all documents in the public_html directory of your hosting account or they won't be visible to the web. If you would like to upload files before your domain gets transferred substitute the IP number or the specified IP # for the host name in your ftp program.

Steps to follow once you can login.
