This page explains how to access your virtual control panel, from which you can perform your new administrative functions for your virtual domain. To reach your control panel, you must type in a URL of http://www.yourdomain.com/admin/ into your SSL enabled browser. You will be redirected to the secure port, and be asked for your login and password. Simply enter them both, and you will enter the control panel.

Note: If you have not bought a certificate from a Certificate Authority, and had us install it, you may get a warning from your browser about an untrusted certificate authority. This is normal. The reason for this is because we don't automatically force people to buy their own certificates, but DO need to ensure a secure connection. Despite the warning messages, the connection IS secure, and you must accept the certificate to use the control panel. For more details see our certificate FAQ.

You may add a MySQL database, by clicking on the Add Database link, and filling out the form, providing the username, password, and database name. All three of these will need to be remebered for future database scripting.

Click the Change Password link to change your password. This will change it in three places: this control panel, your dialup/shell password, and the postmaster password for your e-mail administration. Should you have difficulty entering the e-mail administration page, this form will set the password to what you want.

Click the View Stats link to view your statistics. The statistics for the current month, as well as for last month (if there was a last month) will be viewable from that page.

Click the Administer E-mail link to enter the e-mil administration page. You will be prompted for your pasword once again, for security reasons, then you will enter the e-mail administration form. You may wish to read the instructions for the E-mail admin form.

The other links go to various areas of the main TDL support section, all of which apply to this server as well.
