The Basics

Site Management
As a Site Administrator, you can manage your site by using any standard web browser. Access the Site Management screen for your site by typing the address http://www.yourdomain.com/siteadmin into your browser. You will be prompted to enter your Site Administrator username and password.

The Green Navigation Bar indicates that this is the Virtual Client Administrator screen. Site parameters and services can be set from the left menu. These functions will be further discussed below.

The table in the center is the User Management section. From here, Site Administrators can add or remove users, enter and modify user names and passwords, and manage users' disk space allocations, Telnet access, and email aliases.

A dialog box will appear below the User List table when your mouse cursor is positioned over a function. This dialog box explains what you can do with each function on the page.
