CPanel is a fully featured web-based control
panel that allows you to manage your domain
through a web interface. The idea is to
transfer as much of the control and responsibility
of managing your web site to you. You have
the ability to manage all aspects of e-mail,
files, backup, FTP, CGI scripts, and web
site statistics.

Mime Types
Mime types tell browsers how to handle specific
extensions. Most Mime types are set globally
on the server. For example, the text/html
Mime type equates to htm, html, and shtml
extensions on most servers, and this tells
your browser to interpret all files with
those extensions as HTML files. You can
alter or add new Mime types specifically
for your site (note that you can not alter
the global Mime type values, only add to
them). Mime types are often used to handle
new technologies as they appear. When WAP
technology first appeared no-one had these
extensions set up on their server. With
Mime types, however, you could have set
it up yourself and begun serving WAP pages
immediately.
Warning: Make sure you check the list of
pre-existing Mime types before adding new
ones. Check with our support staff before
adding a Mime type, as they can easily alter
the correct functioning of your web site.
Note: People often get confused as to the
difference between Mime types and Apache
handlers. Basically, Mime types tell your
browser how to handle files, while Apache
handlers tell the server how to handle files.
