A control panel is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) used to manage and configure various aspects of a web hosting environment. It allows website owners and administrators to manage their websites, domains, email accounts, databases, and other hosting-related services from a centralized dashboard. A control panel typically provides a simplified and easy-to-use interface that abstracts the underlying technical details, allowing users to perform complex tasks with minimal technical knowledge. Some examples of popular web hosting control panels include cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin.
