The control panel that comes with most hosting accounts is the control center for your domain. This is where you:

• Add or manage files.
• Add and manage email accounts.
• Add and manage sub domains.
• Add and manage MySql databases.
• Add and manage redirects.
• Add and manage responders.
• Add or manage email filters.
• Add or manage responders.
• Add or manage cron jobs.
• Add or manage scripts.
• Add or manage bulletin boards.
• And more.

There are 3 different control panels that I've encountered with different hosts. Cpanel, Plesk and Ensim. Of the three, I consider cpanel the best.

One reason I like cpanel is it is usually easier to teach a novice webmaster how to navigate cpanel than it is the other two options.

Not every control panel is the same and the features available within control panel may be disabled or limited by your web host. Some use the features available within control panel as some of the benefits associated with more expensive hosting packages.

Before you choose your hosting package, look to see which control panel is used and which features are available to you. If cpanel is used but the package limits you to 10 email accounts or just a few sub domains, will your current and future needs be satisfied with that?

You know your business and where it is headed so you need to know whether the stats program available in many control panels has been disabled, whether you need 10 email accounts or 1,000 and many other factors associated with the control of your business. The control panel is your interface to the platform your files and pages the server stores for you and your visitors. The web pages are your store front and the control panel is your back office.

Central London is where everything is: the history, the culture, the center of the UKs government, and the night life. For about a three-mile stretch between the Tower of London and Hyde Park, youll find most of the London youre looking for: Piccadilly Circus, Big Ben, St. Pauls, London Bridge, Westminster, Trafalgar Square. It only makes sense, therefore, to find a great hotel to stay in that area. You can do this for a reasonably-inexpensive rate, or you can splurge and be treated like the Queen. The most important thing, though, is to reserve your spot as early as you can; rooms, especially the inexpensive rooms, go quickly. If youre arriving by midday, many places will hold your spot without a deposit. Others can be expensive if youre forced to cancel.

Bed and Breakfasts

In the streets behind Victoria Station, youll find colonies of budget Bed and Breakfasts. Its a nice area, not at all touristy, and you can get a cheap 50 room (expect what you pay for, of course) or a nicer 80 room, with atmosphere and a nice British breakfast. You can possibly save a little money by arriving later in the day without a reservation and looking for a bargain. Competition is fierce here, and you can probably strike a deal, particularly in the off-season, and particularly with a multiple night stay. In Warwick Way hotels, request a quiet back room.

Woodville House at 105 Elbury St. offers inexpensive rooms. Youll share a bathroom down the hall and you may end up next to the noisy street, but the atmosphere is great, the proprietor friendly and endlessly informative, and you can save even more money by bunking 3-5 in a room with friends.

Or you can try a more expensive place like Lime Tree Hotel, with thoughtfully decorated public areas and spacious guest rooms; the breakfast room is even attached to a nice traditional garden.

Wherever you stay, a bed and breakfast will give you a traditional taste of London.

Modern Hotels

For the cheapest rates, you can stay at one of the Travel Inn hotels. The rooms are cookie-cutter and dull and the restaurants and bars are ordinary, even somewhat tacky, but if youre planning to stay out in the city most of the time, you cant find a better deal. They have locations near Big Ben, the British Library, and further off at Putney Bridge.

Classy, Trendy Hotels

If you dont need to cut corners and would like to stay in an area so classy they dont allow tacky things like hotel signs on the street, you probably want to stay in South Kensington. The shops are great Harrods is in walking distance and you can find budget and nice restaurants of all descriptions lining the streets nearby.

Aster House Hotel has excellent rooms with televisions, phones, and a refrigerator. You can have breakfast in the Orangerie, a Victorian greenhouse and lounge in the back garden; or you can walk a short distance to have your meals in town.

5 Sumner Place Hotel has been voted the best small hotel in London. Chandeliers decorate the Victorian-style conservatory, a greenhouse decorated in blues, where youll have breakfast. The hotel is in a 150-year-old building, and each room is decorated with period furnishings. It can be expensive, but if youre looking for atmosphere, this is where to find it.

If you dont quite have as much money to spend, you can try 16 Sumner Place up the road, or Kensington Juries Hotel. Either is popular and close to attractions, with excellent furnishings, informative and friendly management, and loads of class and comfort.

Wherever you stay in this neighborhood, youll be certain of atmosphere, walking-distance attractions, and friendly service.

The Cheapest Place Ever

If youre a young woman or a man with a Norwegian passport, you can get a room at the Norwegian YWCA for half the price youd spend anywhere else in London; all rooms are smoke free, and, other than singles, have their own showers; if youre willing to share a quad room with strangers, you can get a room for as little as 18 in the off-season, breakfast included. And believe it or not, its a really nice place to stay, with atmosphere and comfort.
