Pixel Internet - Advanced Features
Not everyone knows the jargon that's involved with hosting, some people simply want to get their websites online. For those of you that want to understand what it all means, we have compiled a detailed description of all the features that come with our hosting packages, we hope you find it useful!

Host Control Panel Back >

Managing your web hosting account is simplicity itself using Pixel Internet's Host control panel. The Host Control Panel is a Web-based environment that puts you in control of your web hosting account and all the features that are included in it. It has been developed in-house by a Development Team with over 30 years' total experience in control panel development.

The Host Control Panel is the most advanced web hosting control panel in the world, but don't take our word for it - try it now by accessing our demo below:

Please note that the following features have been disabled in the demo for security reasons:

  • File Manager
  • Some Webmail Features
  • Scheduled Tasks
  • Free Web Resources
Domain Management Back >

Change Domain Contacts

This feature allows you to update the owner, admin, billing and technical contacts for a domain name.

DNS Management

This feature allows you to configure your own DNS records. All A, CNAME, and MX records for your domain can be altered.

Transfer to Another Pixel Internet User

This feature allows you to move your domain names to other Pixel Internet accounts or consolidate multiple Pixel Internet accounts.

Change Nominet Tag

This feature allows you to change the Nominet tag (known as the IPSTAG or IPS-KEY) on your UK domain name to another tag. This feature is free of charge with Pixel Internet (some companies charge up to £25 per domain name to do this).

Change Nameservers

This feature allows our customers the flexibility to move their domain names away to external hosts at any time, but you'll lose all the benefits of our extensive range of free services if they do! The service is free and fully automated.

Opt Out of .uk WHOIS

This feature allows private individuals to hide their personal details from the Nominet public WHOIS database.

Sub Domains Back >

Sub domains allow you to have new web addresses for separate areas of your Website. For example you could have support.yourdomain.co.uk and point this at your yourdomain.co.uk/support/ directory. You can use sub domains in conjunction with additional FTP accounts, creating in effect simple hosting accounts with a sub domain and an additional FTP account.

Microsoft Frontpage Extensions Back >

If you have used Microsoft FrontPage to design your website you will need to install the Microsoft FrontPage Extensions to use all the features.

Online File Manager Back >

Our file manager has a great range of features to help you manage your files and folders online.

*NEW* Google sitemap generator Back >

Having your website listed in Google is vital. Google has a special tool called Google Sitemaps which generates a list of all the files on your website and sends them to Google.

This allows Google to ensure it finds all of your web pages and files. The software to generate a Sitemap is quite complicated but we have made it really easy by integrating the software into our Host Control Panel. We would recommend everyone generates a Google sitemap and then re-generates it every time their site is updated. To get started visit the "Website Reporting" section of your Host Control Panel.

Free submission to 10 search engines Back >

Submit your site to 10 search engines including Google, Yahoo and MSN!

Backup & Restore your Website Back >

The backup feature allows you to download your website as a zip file. You can use this feature to make a regular backup of your website in case you lose any data.

The restore feature allows you to restore a backup zip file that you have made using the Host Control Panel.

Website Password Protection Back >

This feature allows you to password protect a directory on your website. By keeping the password a secret you can let only people who have the password into this area.

You can easily add, remove and update users for an already-password-protected area of your site.

Scheduled Tasks Back >

This feature enables a program to run automatically on the server and can set your program to run hourly, daily, weekly or monthly.

Multiple Domain Mapping Back >

 

IP Address Blocking Back >

This feature allows you to block certain IP addresses from visiting your website.

Website Directory Auto Indexing Back >

This feature allows you to either show the content of your web directories as file listings or show them as a 403 forbidden error.

500 Search Engine Submission Back >

For a small fee, we can submit your website to over 500 search engines each and every month for 1 year, ensuring you maintain a high web presence.
