The Portland Support Web Control Panel

Working with email messages is easy. However, administering electronic mail accounts can be hard. This is where our E Mail Managercomes to help. It enables you to not only quickly create new and modify active electronic mail accounts, but to also swiftly redirect emails, to finetune email filters, to enable unsolicited bulk email protection, etc., through a user–friendly user interface.

And in case you work with an e–mail client, you can employ our auto–configuration scripts for the most widely used mail clients for Linux and Windows. All you have to do is download an auto–configuration file and your email client will immediately configure your new e–mailbox account.

With the File Manager integrated into the Portland Support Web Control Panel, you’ll have one of the most powerful web file managers at your disposal. With it, you can upload files by simply dragging them to your browser window. You can move files and folders in your account by dragging and dropping them. You can unarchive uploaded ZIP archives.

You can also right–click on a given file or directory to acquire access to these functions.

If you own several domain names, managing them with normal Control Panel tools can be difficult. The Web Control Panel–integrated Domain Manager enables you to administer all your domain names at the same time.

In case you have multiple domains, you can also allocate different labels to them. This way, you can easily filter your domain names and find only the ones that you need.

Databases are a vital part of every application – it is where all the information is stashed. With our Database Manager, you’ll have an easy–to–use tool in your hands, which will enable you to manage both your MySQL and PostgreSQL databases with just a few mouse clicks.

We’ve simplified the database creation procedure, so you can now create a brand–new database in a few seconds. We also offer a 1–click database backup possibility. And if you install a new application, we can automatically create the database instead of you.

Our Web Control Panel offers a set of in–house developed marketing tools, which will help you heighten the popularity of your websites. You will have a Sitemap Generator for bots and visitors to easily scan your web sites, an RSS News module to post fresh content on your index page and a GeoIP forwarding tool to match website visitors’ physical location with their language of preference.

All these marketing tools have been designed by us. They offer all the options you would expect and at the same time are very easy to work with. Try them and see for yourself.

When you run a website, it’s obligatory to have it defended against all potential assaults. The Portland Support Web Control Panel offers you automatic protection against common hack assaults, XSS attacks and URL forgery assaults – the ModSecurity Apache module. ModSecurity is activated by default for all the sites in your account.

The ModSecurity web application firewall intercepts requests to your websites on the basis of pre–determined rules. We have compiled a sizeable list of confirmed malicious requests, so you do not need to do the work on your own. ModSecurity demands no additional setup on your part.

Since Dropbox was introduced, it has won millions of active users. With the Web Control Panel, you can set up auto–backups of your website using your Dropbox account as a remote backup space.

This way, you can be sure that, no matter what happens with our web hosting servers, you can always have the latest backup of your website and your databases at hand.

The faster your web site loads, the better. But at one point, you will have to tweak the code. And this is when you can benefit from our collection of Web Site Acceleration Tools, which includes Varnish, Node.js, and Memcached.

Using them, you will be able to extract a little bit more power out of the server your account is hosted on and to boost your site’s speed significantly.
