The Castle Host Online Control Panel

Whilst composing and sending a mail message is easy, administering your email mailboxes could be difficult. The Email Accounts Manager featured in the Castle Host Online Control Panel is here to help you with that. It sports a streamlined interface from where you can quickly redirect mail messages, create email filters, activate anti–spam protection, etc.

In case you work with an email client, we offer some handy auto–config scripts – just download a file and it will set up your email box momentarily. You can also make use of our webmail client – it’s full–featured and you can access it from anywhere in the world.

When you work with files, you need an easy way to administer them. This is especially valid when the files you are working with are the ones that make up your website. This is why we have set up our very own File Manager. With it, you will gain prompt access to each single function by using our right–click shortcut menus and our quick access icons.

With our File Manager, you’ll also be able to choose and edit multiple files, to unzip ZIP archives, to upload and move files around by merely dragging them into the preferred location and a lot more.

Databases are an indispensable component of every web app – it is where all the data is kept. With our Database Manager, you will have an easy–to–use tool at your disposal, which will permit you to administer both your MySQL and PostgreSQL databases with simply a couple of clicks.

We’ve streamlined the database setup process, so you can now set up a new database in a couple of seconds. We also offer you a 1–click database backup option. And if you install a new web application, we can automatically set up the database on your behalf.

Manual application installation can be problematic. Because of this, we’ve introduced an automated Web Apps Installer, which will do the trick for you. It features 40+ well–known web applications and we have made the installation procedure as easy as possible. All you really have to do is enter the administrative user name and password. Our smart tool will handle the rest on your behalf.

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

If you want to safeguard your application against hacker attacks, then ModSecurity is here to help you. It’s a firewall designed to block hack assaults, cross–site scripting assaults and URL forgery assaults. It operates automatically according to a set of predefined rules and demands no attention on your end.

With our Online Control Panel, ModSecurity will be activated automatically for all domains. You can disable it anytime you want.

In case you’re struggling to find a way to get around a firewall, or if you’d like to surf the web anonymously, or if you simply want to test a GeoIP redirection, you can utilize our VPN Access tool incorporated into our Online Control Panel.

You can make use of our VPN access option on any device – your desktop personal computer, your cell phone, your netbook, etc. There is absolutely no restriction on the number of connected devices.

With the Free Website Creating Application available in the Online Control Panel, you will be able to swiftly build custom sites without needing to write one single line of PHP, CSS or HTML code. Everything is done by means of a user–friendly WYSIWYG (What–You–See–Is–What–You–Get) editor.

Our Free Website Creating Application features tons of exclusive design themes available in different color combinations, which you can customize according to your own taste.
