Introduction: Why Do You Need a Website Control Panel?

Imagine you’ve bought a piece of land and built a house on it (your website). Now you need to manage the house: connect electricity (domains), install plumbing (databases), set up security (SSL certificates), maintain order (files), and even let tenants in (FTP users). You could do all of this manually, but it’s complex, time-consuming, and requires specialized skills.

This is where website control panels come in. These are graphical web interfaces that significantly simplify the process of managing your web server and all the components needed to run a website. Instead of entering complex terminal commands, you simply click buttons and fill out forms in a user-friendly browser interface.
