The 4 Web Host Site Control Panel

With the File Manager featured in the 4 Web Host Site Control Panel, you will have one of the most efficient web file managers at your disposal. With it, you can upload files by simply dragging them into your browser. You can move files and folders in your account by dragging and dropping them. You can unpack uploaded zipped archives.

You can also right–click on any file or directory to gain access to these functions.

When you run a web site, you need to also administer all the mailboxes associated with it. And whilst composing email messages is really easy, managing the respective mailboxes could be tricky. You may need to cope with spam e–mails, to set up email filters, to worry about security matters, etc.

With our Mail Accounts Manager, you will find that administering e–mailbox accounts is not difficult at all. You’ll be bestowed with instant access to all essential functions (you can redirect emails, set up mail filters, activate unsolicited bulk e–mail protection, etc.) and you can manage multiple email accounts at the same time.

Our Domain Names Manager is the only place you have to go to in order to manage your domains. With just a couple of mouse clicks, you can redirect or park domain names, modify WHOIS details or alter DNS resource records.

And the best part is that, when you are all set, you can immediately begin working on your website – you can add new files, create databases or install web applications. All due to the fact that all the tools are located in a single Site Control Panel.

When talking about Site Control Panels, there’s one brand that comes to mind – cPanel, a name, which is already synonymous with "Site Control Panel". Nevertheless, whilst cPanel is really popular, during the past few years it has begun to fall out of fashion.

Check out how cPanel matches up against our in–house built Site Control Panel. See the strengths and weaknesses of each of the two Instant Site Installers.

The faster your site loads, the better. But at one point, you’ll have to tweak the code. And this is when you can take full advantage of our collection of Web Accelerator Programs, which consists of Memcached, Varnish and Node.js.

Using them, you will be able to pull some extra power out of the machine your account is located on and to increase your web site’s loading speed considerably.

In the Site Control Panel we have incorporated a tool, which permits you to install more than 40 popular software applications with zero setup required – our Apps Installer. You can quickly install Joomla^™, Mambo, WordPress, Moodle and many other web apps without the need to proceed through elaborate installation procedures and to manually create a database. We’ll do everything instead of you, so your web application will be live in less than five minutes.

And we keep a record of what you’ve installed, along with the username and the password that were initially typed in. This way, you will not need to be worried about forgetting your password.

With the 4 Web Host Site Control Panel, you can easily set up an automatic backup of your websites and your MySQL and PostgreSQL databases in your Dropbox account. That way, you can be confident that, no matter what happens with our hosting servers, you’ll always have the latest backup at hand.

Our Dropbox backup service is absolutely automated – all you need to do is connect your Dropbox account and indicate the number of backup copies you’d like to keep at all times.

When you run a web site, it is critical to have it secured against all possible attacks. The 4 Web Host Site Control Panel offers you automatic protection against common hack attacks, XSS attacks and URL request forgeries – the ModSecurity Apache module. ModSecurity is activated automatically for all the web sites in your account.

The ModSecurity Apache module intercepts requests to your sites on the basis of pre–determined rules. We have compiled a large list of verified harmful requests, so you do not need to do the work on your own. ModSecurity demands no further configuration from you.
