cPanel

In attempting to reduce email spam, the web hosting industry introduced SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and later DomainKeys DNS records. These are simply DNS entries in your zone that help to verify which server/s are allowed to send email for your domain.

cPanel is probably the world's most popular web hosting control panel. For people that are familiar with it, cPanel makes administrating websites a doddle. However, for those who haven't seen it before, the learning curve can be quite steep. In this tutorial we'll explain the basics you need to know in order to administrate your web hosting account via cPanel on a shared web hosting package.

With Farbyte cPanel, you can add more domains to your account using the 'Addon Domains' function. An 'Addon' domain is a completely different domain to the one used when setting up your cPanel hosting account.

For example, when you signed up for hosting with Farbyte, you may have used 'domain1.com'. This is your 'default' domain, which your cPanel user account name is derived from.
