The Coulton Hosting Control Panel

Web file managers have been around for many years. But they are clunky, sluggish, difficult to work with and lacking in features. We have changed that. Our File Manager acts more like a desktop file manager than a conventional web file manager. You can upload files by dragging & dropping them, or move files and folders around. You can resort to our inbuilt source code editors and preview photographs. You can zip & unzip files or folders directly online.

And everything’s done with just a mouse click.

You can now administer multiple domains without much effort via our Domain Manager. It includes all the domain name management tools that you need and everything is designed in a user–friendly way. Each feature is just a single click away – from forwarding or parking a domain name to modifying your domain’s WHOIS or DNS information.

And with our Control Panel, once you’re done with your domain names, you can momentarily begin working on your website without needing to log into another Control Panel.

Whilst writing and sending a mail message is easy, administering your e–mailbox accounts could be problematic. The Email Manager built into the Coulton Hosting Control Panel is here to help you with that. It offers you a sleek user interface via which you can quickly redirect mails, set up email filters, order unsolicited bulk e–mail protection, etc.

In case you have an e–mail client, we offer you some useful autoconfig scripts – just download a file and it’ll configure your email box instantly. You can also use our webmail client – it’s full–featured and you can access it from anywhere in the world.

When you own a web site, it is important to have it shielded against all possible attacks. The Coulton Hosting Control Panel offers you automatic protection against common hacker attacks, cross–site scripting attacks and URL forgery assaults – the ModSecurity Apache module. ModSecurity is enabled automatically for all the web sites in your account.

The ModSecurity Apache module intercepts requests to your sites on the basis of predetermined rules. We have compiled a big list of verified harmful requests, so you do not need to do the work yourself. ModSecurity demands no further setup from you.

Using the Instant Site Installer integrated into the Control Panel, you can take your future web site online in less than five minutes. All you have to do is follow four simple steps before your website is completely ready – no PHP, HTML or CSS knowledge is required.

For our Simple Site Installer, we have prepared a selection of more than 100 website themes. They’ve been designed by us and are available only in our Control Panel. They cover the most popular sorts of sites. We offer templates for shopping portals, personal journals, portfolio sites, business portals, etc.

Manual web application installation can be embarrassing. That’s why, we have created an automated Web Applications Installer, which will do the trick for you. It contains 40+ well–known web applications and we have made the installation procedure as simple as possible. All you really have to do is enter the administrator user name and password. Our smart tool will take care of the rest on your behalf.

It also maintains a log file of the installed web applications and the used usernames and passwords. This way, even if you forget your password, you can always check what it is in our Control Panel.

To help you better advertise your website to clients and get a higher search engine ranking, we’ve created a set of free–of–cost online marketing tools, which come with our Control Panel – a Sitemap Generator, an RSS News module and a GeoIP redirection tool.

Each of these tools has been developed by us with one single aim in mind – to offer you all–round functionality, wrapped in an interface that can be easily used by everybody.

If you need to access a site outside a firewall, or if you wish to browse the web incognito, then we’ve got the best solution for you. It is available in our Control Panel. With our VPN access service, you’ll be able to surf the World Wide Web safely with your desktop PC, netbook or feature phone wherever you are.

You can choose the physical location of the VPN server yourself. We have datacenter facilities in different countries on different continents.
