Control Panel
HostMonster users benefit from the time-tested and
approved cPanel control panel. This icon-based interface
is so simple to use, the learning curve is practically a
straight line. The functions are intuitively categorized
into: Account & Domain Management, Mail Management, Site
Menu functions (for site publishing functions, ie. FTP),
and Advanced Menu functions (like Backups, Cron jobs,
databases, FrontPage, and SSL). Then there are the
convenient cPanel Wizards (like PageWizard and Shopping
Cart Gurus) and assistants (like Search Engine Submit).
Your personal cPanel notes, ToolTips, StartUp Tips
and other settings are all stored on a separate MyCpanel
page. From here you also read your incoming emails and
have the option to publish your traffic stats on your
website for all to see.

Customer Support
You'll find nothing but the most courteous and
professional customer support, available anytime through
a number of venues, not the least of which is
department-specific toll-free telephone. There's also a
complete self-service center with a searchable
knowledgebase and an email query ticket system.
