If you are hosting your website and email with Cognite then you have a control panel available that allow you to maintain your domain and email accounts. This control panel is called KonsoleH.
Step 1: Logging In
Open your web browser and type the following into your address bar “control.mydomain.com”, replacing the mydomain.com with your website domain name. Pressing Enter will bring up a screen with two icons. One is marked “Webmail” and the other “Control Panel”. Click on the Control Panel icon. You will now see a login screen. Type in the domain name (without the www.) and supply the FTP password that was given to you by Cognite. Check the “Remember Me” check box and click on the Login button.
Step 2: Getting to know the Control Panel
The control panel is split up into many different sections. Clicking on the section selector on the left sidebar, it will show the options available under that section. Each page will have basic help buttons to help you out. We will now cover each section briefly.
- Domain Details
The domain details section has only one page and it will give you an idea of the state of your web hosting account. It will give you updated statistics on how much storage space you have left, the amount of traffic used up so far this month and the amount of email accounts you have compared to how much is left. - Manage Services
This section will allow you to maintain your FTP (File Transfer Protocol) login details and accounts, mySQL databases and basic web server configuration settings. This section is mostly utilised by your web designer. - Statistics and Reports
This section will allow you to get some detailed reports on your traffic usage. There are also traffic report options to show who is visiting your website, but Cognite suggests to rather use Google Analytics, as it is much simpler to understand. - Mail
This is the section that is used the most. Here you are able to maintain all of your email accounts for the domain.
If you want to know more about a specific section or page then click on the Help link on the top right of each page. If you are a client of Cognite and would like to know more about a specific function then please contact us.
