# cPanel

## What is cPanel?

cPanel is a powerful, yet user-friendly hosting/domain manager. cPanel has a simple-to-use interface that makes editing your hosting details extremely easy.

## What can cPanel do?

Through your cPanel (included with all Heliohost's hosting accounts), you can

* Create and manage e-mail addresses for your domain.
* Check e-mail using either Horde, RoundCube, or SquirrelMail -or- alter MX records for use with another e-mail service (such as Google Apps - doing this will cause the cPanel built-in webmail clients to stop working)
* Set-up e-mail clients for use with your e-mail addresses (through POP3/SMTP)
* Update your Heliohost's account information/password
* Create and manage FTP accounts
* Use the built-in cPanel file manager
