The ekkhost Site Control Panel

Web file managers have been in existence for many years. Yet, they are clunky, sluggish, difficult to work with and lacking in features. We have changed that. Our File Manager behaves much more like a desktop file manager than a traditional web file manager. You can upload files by dragging and dropping them, or move files and folders from one place to another. You can use our built–in source code editors and preview photos. You can compress & uncompress files or folders directly online.

And everything is done with just a click.

Whilst composing and sending an e–mail message is easy, managing your email accounts can be problematic. The E Mail Accounts Manager located in the ekkhost Site Control Panel is here to assist you with that. It sports a streamlined user interface from where you can easily redirect electronic mails, create e–mail filters, request unsolicited bulk email protection, etc.

If you have an email client, we offer you some useful auto–configuration scripts – just download a file and it will set up your email account instantaneously. You can also utilize our webmail client – it is fully featured and you can access it from any place in the world.

You can now manage multiple domain names without much effort via our Domain Names Manager. It includes all the domain name management tools that you need and everything is designed in a user–friendly way. Each feature is just a mouse click away – from forwarding or parking a domain to altering your domain’s WHOIS or DNS settings.

And with our Site Control Panel, as soon as you are ready with your domains, you can momentarily start working on your website without having to sign in to a different Site Control Panel.

In the ekkhost Site Control Panel we have integrated the ModSecurity Apache module. It’s a small module that does a magnificent job – it acts as a firewall for your applications, safeguarding them against hacker attacks, XSS assaults and URL forgery attacks. We’ve already specified the rules for the firewall, so you do not have to configure it before it starts to work.

And ModSecurity is enabled automatically for all your websites – as soon as they go live, they’ll be immediately secured. If you wish, you can manually deactivate ModSecurity for any of your websites.

When speaking about Site Control Panels, there is one brand that springs to mind – cPanel, a name, which is already synonymous with "Site Control Panel". However, while cPanel is really popular, during the last few years it has started to become old–fashioned.

Check out how cPanel matches up against our custom–built Site Control Panel. Find out about the strengths and weaknesses of each of the two Web Site Installer Applications.

With our Statistics Manager, you can keep an eye on what is going on with your sites from the minute you open your account with us. No need for extra setups or additional accounts – we will begin gathering info the instant your web site is published to the Internet.

At any time, you can check how many site visitors you’ve had recently and how much time they have stayed on your site. You can view most–browsed webpages, landing pages, exit pages and a lot more.

The faster your site opens, the better. But at some point, you’ll need to fine–tune the code. And this is the time when you can benefit from our collection of Website Accelerator Applications, which consists of Node.js, Memcached and Varnish.

With their help, you will be able to extract some extra power out of the machine your website is located on and to boost your site’s loading speed tremendously.

Practically every web app requires databases to save data. This is the reason why we offer you an intuitive interface – the Databases Manager, from where you can manage all your databases, be that MySQL databases or PostgreSQL databases.

With just a single click of the mouse, you can back up entire databases, log in the phpPgAdmin/phpMyAdmin tools, update database access passwords and more.
