  Page: This will bring up your index.htm(l) page or the front page 
  of your site. > Profile: 
  This is a handy tool to edit and create web pages in your account. > Logout: 
  Logs you out of Netadmin.Web > Web Statistics: Allows 
  you to view your monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly stats. If you

  support team will be glad to carry that out for you upon verification of site 
  administration. Once the stats have been deleted you can start anew 
  by clicking on the "generate stats" button. You can also view your stats

  Web Logs Admin: This is an empty feature, replaced by Fileman. However 
  the link within netadmin provides detailed information on how to download this 
  data. > CGI Syntax 
  Checker: This utility will allow you to check the syntax 
  of a Perl CGI script. It will not fix the problem, it will just tell you where 
  the syntax errors are. It will also give you the line number where it found 
  the error. Due to limitations in the PERL debugger, it will sometimes say the 
  error is on one line, when actually the error might be a line or two above or 
  below the line number it gives you. It is in your best interest to run the program 
  after every "fix" you perform. Below are some terms you will need 
  to be familiar with. 
                     
                      File 
                        does not exist. If you are sure that this 
                        file is there then it is most likely that you have the 
                        path incorrect. For example: index.html and 
                        index.HTML. If the browser is looking for index.html 
                        and you named it index.HTML the file will not be found 
                        and therefore the error "File does not exist" will be 
                        recorded. 
                      Premature 
                        end of script headers. 99% of the 
                        time it means the permissions are incorrect. For 
                        cgi scripts they should always be set at 755....never 
                        644 or 777. If you receive this error on a cgi script 
                        it most likely means your permissions are set at 644 (the 
                        default value when uploaded).  
                      
      Failed to open log file/permission 
         denied. This usually means that you uploaded a file and saved it 
         in BINARY, but cgi scripts should be saved in ASCII. The way to fix this 
         is to simply resave it in ASCII.  > Domain 
  aliases: A domain alias is a domain name that points to the same website 
  as your main domain. i.e. www.my_domain.com is your main domain name, 
  www.other_domain.com is an alias that 
  when you call for either site, your same home page appears in your browser. 
   > SubDomains: 
  Subdomains are different from domain aliases. A subdomain will bring up 
  a completely different website from the main domain. As a subdomian www.other_domain.com will not point to www.my_domain.com. It will instead bring 
  up its own website. A subdomain is a subdirectory of the main domain but 
  it will not show that it has anything to do with the main domain when brought 
  up in a browser. Essentially a subdomain would be www.my_domain.com/other_domain.com 
  but it would never show that in the browser. It would just be www.other_domain.com. In order to add a subdomain 
  you need only add the name in the blank provide such as other_domain.com and 
  then you can choose the name of the directory it will point to or it will automatically 
  add the directory name for you if you choose not to add the directory yourself. 
  Make sure you specify on the right hand side if you will be transferring the 
  name or registering a new name. You are responsible to register the name if 
  it is a new name. You also have the option to add a vanity domain, this is word.my_domain.com 
  so essentially you can choose any word followed by a period and attach it to 
  the front of your domain name, or infront of prohosting.com > Search 
  Engines: This feature allows you to submit your site to Thousands 
  of search Engines. You must first purchase search engine submission credits 
  from the "Account Upgrade" section of netadmin. Once you have credit 
  you can enter this link and create a submission profile. Here you will enter 
  key words, and url's. Email 
  Management > Check 
  Mail: You can check any of your email accounts by typing in the user 
  name and inserting its password. The default settings in this online email 
  client does not download mail automatically. You need to set that option up 
  in your settings. Also, you should make sure the time zone settings are set. 
  See the email tutorial for detailed information. > Add Email:  
  It is here that you can set up new email address. You only need to add 
  the name of the account (i.e. john) and the extension (i.e. @my_domain.com) 
  will be added automatically. You will then need to add the password you 
  wish to use to check the mail. You can also create alias accounts and autoresponders 
  here. > List/Modify/Delete 
  Email:  Here you can list the email accounts to change passwords, 
  edit forwards, and autoresponders, and also delete email accounts. To change 
  a user name you need to delete the account all together and re add it with the 
  add email option. > Mailing List Manager:  EZ Mailing 
   List Manger. It lets you send the same email to as many people on your list 
   as you would like.  Click on create and make a name and address for 
   the list. Specify which options you would like and then click on "Create List." 
   Then choose the list and click on "edit" and add the necessary subscribers 
   and moderators.  Here is what each of the options does: Archived: "Ezmlm 
  will archive new messages" Block archive: "Only 
  moderators are allowed to access the archive" Digest: "Set up a 
  digest list to disseminate digest of the list messages" Prefix: "Outgoing 
  subject will be prefixed with the list name" Guard Archive: "Archive 
  access requests from unrecognized SENDERs will be rejected" Help subscription: "Subscriptions 
  do not require confirmation by moderator" Indexed: "Indexed 
  for WWW archive access" Jump off: "Unsubscribe 
  does not require confirmation by moderator" Kill: "Posts from 
  addresses in dir/deny/ are rejected" Subscriber List: 
  "Remote administrators can request a subscriber list" Message Moderation: 
  "All incoming messages are moderated" (most commonly used) Text Editing: "Allow 
  remote administrators to edit files in dir/text/" Others rejected: 
  "Posts from addresses other than moderators are rejected" Public: "List will 
  respond to administrative requests and archive retrieval" Service Request Address: 
  "Process commands sent in the subject to local-request@host" Remote Admin: 
  "Enable remote adminstration of the list" Subscription Moderation: 
  "Subscriptions to the main list and digest will be moderated" Trailer: "Add a trailer, 
  or footer, to outgoing messages" User Posts Only: 
  "Posts from unrecognized SENDER addresses will be rejected" (this will counteract 
  "message moderation" It is unecessary 
  to provide paths. You only need choose which options you need. To 
  add subscribers to the list you only need to click on "subscribers" and add 
  the address. If you have a large list of email addresses to add to the 
  list you can create a .txt file that has all of the email addresses you need 
  to add and then you can click on "Browse" and find the file on your computer 
  and add it to the list. That way you will not have to add every email 
  address individually. A moderator is the person that will manage the mailing 
  list. If you list yourself as a moderator any mail sent to the mailing 
  list will first go to your email address asking you if it is okay to send out. 
  By responding to the confirmation email the original email will then be sent 
  to the everyone on the list. It is a good idea to set yourself up as the 
  moderator and no one else so as to prevent spam. 
 Account > Preferences:

  turns drop downs on and off in email. Check here first when email features do 
  not display when creating email accounts and options. > Change 
  Password: You can change your account password for all functions (netadmin, 
  Front Page, fileman, MySQL, EZMLM, Web Stats) or you can specify for which function 
  you would like to change your password. When you get a login error when 
  attempting to login to ftp, Front Page, or MySQL you should always

 Feature 
  Management > File Manager: 
  Short for File Manager. You can upload files, create directories, delete 
  files, remove directories, change permissions, view your pages, edit existing 
  pages, password protect directories, and view how much disk space you have used. 
  To view a page you need to click on the actual image or folder next to 
  the name of the file or directory. Here is a brief over view on how to 
  use fileman: 
   
    Uploading:
      At the bottom of the page you can click on the "Browse" button and search 
      for the page you would like to upload. Once you find it you then type 
      in the name of the file and click on the "Upload" button.
   
    Creating 
      directories: At the bottom of the page find the button 
      that says "Make new directory" and type in the name of the new directory 
      in the space provided and then click on the button.
   
    Deleting 
      directories and files: For directories click on the tab at 
      the right of the directory that says "rmdir." For files click on the 
      tab at the right of the file that says "delete."
   
    Changing 
      permissions: At the right of each directory and file in light 
      gray letters you will see something such as "rwxr-xr-x." Those 
      are the permissions. To change permissions simply click on it.  
      Permission values are as follows: r = 4, w = 2, x = 1. rwx = 7.  
      rwxr-xr-x = 755. The "r" means read, the "w" means write, 
      and the "x" means execute. Permissions for files are usually set to 
      rw-r--r-- (644) and directories are usually set to rwxr-xr-x (755). Both 
      files and directories in the cgi-bin should be set to rwxr-xr-x (755).  
      As you can see the permissions are divided into three different groups: 
      7,5,5 and 6,4,4 for example.
   
    Viewing 
      your pages: To view your pages you can click on the image next 
      to the file name. By clicking on the file name you will not be 
      able to see the page.
   
    Editing 
      existing pages: To edit your pages you need to click on "edit" 
      at the right of the file you wish to edit.
   
    Password 
      protecting directories: To password protect a directory you 
      need to click on "pass" at the right of the directory you wish to password 
      protect.
   
    Viewing 
      how much disk space you have used: At the top right side of your fileman 
      you will see "Disk usage" highlighted and underlined in blue. Click 
      on that link and it will tell you how much space you have used in kilobytes.
   > Domain Management 
  :  This utility allows you to renew currently registered domain names 
  by using the account upgrade to add domain registration credits, and storing 
  them here for renewals. You will need to contact the billing dept to have the 
  credit used for renewal. > Ecommerce 
  Management: We are currently rebuilding our Ecommerce package, look 
  here for updates in the next month. > Database 
  Management: Welcome to the PHPmyAdmin login for the MySQL Database. 
  Here you can create tables, upload .txt files for your database, and pretty 
  much administer all peramaters of the Database. As a helpfull hint, don't forget 
  to index your tables. > DNS Management: This utility offers you the functionality of editing your DNS record 
  at Prohosting. You can create new A-Records, change your MX records, and even 
  redirect to new Name servers.
