This document introduces you to the main parts of the
info/control area:
Account Settings
Account settings are listed at the top of the info/control
area.
- User: the name by which you are known to the hosting
system. It's the same as your control panel login.
- FTP Login: the login name you use when you upload your
site to your home directory on the server.
- Plan: the arrangement of resources and services you are
subscribed to. To change your plan, click the icon next to the plan
name. You cannot change between incompatible plans, like Unix and
Windows. (More about changing
plans)
- Billing period: the period of time you pay for. Your
payments include recurrent fees charged at the beginning of the
billing period and usage fees charged at the end of the billing
period. For more information see the Paying
for Hosting chapter of this manual. Click the icon to switch to
a different billing period. (More about changing billing period)
- Domains: the sites you host in this account. Within one
account, you can host as many sites as your plan allows.
Total traffic
This is the total amount of information transferred to and from
your account by Internet visitors and yourself from the beginning
of the current billing month.
Example: Imagine that your billing period is 2 months long and
started on the 5th of October. Even though it ends on 5th December,
the billing month will end on 5th November, and that's when traffic
will be reset. However, if you change your total traffic limit
earlier, say on 25 October, it will be on October 5th that a new
billing month will start and traffic will be reset.
If you expect to run up more traffic than comes with your plan,
it's a good idea to raise your traffic limit. To do so, click the
second icon:
Total traffic limit is the amount of traffic you pay for in
advance. It is charged at the recurrent fee. However:
- if you fail to run up all your quota resource, you are not
returned the payment for the unused megabytes;
- if you exceed the quota, you are charged usage fee per each
gigabyte of the excess traffic.
You can always buy additional amount of the resource in order
not to be charged the extra payment.
The system e-mails you a notification when you have used 80% of
the traffic limit.
Control Panel navigation is not included into the total
traffic.
Traffic Details: click the
View icon to see what makes up your total traffic.
Disk Space
Depending on your plan configuration, billing for disk space is based on either
disk quota or
disk
usage.
Disk Quota
If your disk space billing is based on disk quota, the
Statistics section will display a bar showing the amount of
disk space actually used out of the disk space allowed by your
account quota. This bar shows disk space only on the web
server.
The edit icon will allow you to change disk quota.
Disk Usage
If your disk space billing is based on disk usage, the
Statistics section will display a bar showing average
summary disk usage since the beginning of the billing month.
More on disk
usage.
In this section you will also see the summary disk usage for the
last day. It is the total disk space used by files in your
FTP home directory, all your mailboxes and DBs at the moment of the
system scan. As a rule, the scans run every night.
The edit icon will allow you to change disk usage limit. To
change disk quota, go to the FTP User page.
Resource Meter
Resource meter shows how much of your resources you have used,
how much you have free, and how much you can have at most in this
account:
- Domains - number of domains in this account
- Subdomains - total number of subdomains in all domains
of this account
- Mailboxes - total number of mailboxes in all domains and
subdomains of this account
- Auto responders - total number of autoresponders in all
mailboxes of this account
- MySQL database - total number of MySQL databases in this
account
- PgSQL database - total number of PGSQL databases in this
account

- On the page that appears, select the name of the skin in the
Choose Design box and click the Choose button.
