??? Control Panels

A web-based control panel is a graphical interface that allows you to manage your web hosting account and website. Control panels make it easy for the less tech-savvy user to configure their server settings, email, files, or domains.

At InMotion, we offer cPanel on all our managed hosting plans. On our high-performance VPS plans, you can opt for Control Web Panel (CWP) or choose our proprietary control panel, Platform i, on WordPress VPS.

What you need to know:

• cPanel is a popular web control panel but a paid product.
• CWP has a free version you can use forever, but also offers a paid version with extra features.
• Platform i is an all-in-one dashboard built to streamline your WordPress hosting and maintenance tasks.

??? Git

Git is an open source cross-platform version control system. By using Git, you can journal changes made to your web project and revert to previous versions of your code. It’s perfect for testing and developing code without changing the main codebase of your website or app.
