The opnux Control Panel

With the File Manager incorporated into the opnux Control Panel, you will have one of the most efficient web file managers at hand. With it, you can upload files simply by dragging them into your browser window. You can move files and folders in your account by dragging and dropping them. You can unarchive uploaded archives.

You can also right–click on a given file or directory to get access to these functions.

If you own different domains, managing them with traditional Control Panels can be problematic. The Control Panel–integrated Domain Names Manager permits you to manage all your domains at once.

If you have multiple domain names, you can also assign different labels to them. In this way, you can easily filter your domains and find just the ones that you want.

In the opnux Control Panel we have included the ModSecurity Apache module. It is a small module that does an outstanding job – it acts as a firewall for your apps, safeguarding them against hacker attacks, XSS attacks and URL forgery attacks. We’ve already specified the rules for the firewall, so you don’t have to configure it before it starts to work.

And ModSecurity is activated automatically for all your websites – as soon as they go live, they will be instantly secured. If you wish, you can manually deactivate ModSecurity for any of your websites.

With the opnux Control Panel, we give you the chance to develop a fully custom website using our Free Web Site Creator. The Free Web Site Creator is built to work with over 100 different themes available in different color combinations, which you can personalize as per your requirements.

The best thing about our Free Web Site Creator is that it can be used by anyone. Owing to its handy WYSIWYG editor, you can create your custom web site from scratch without needing to embed a single line of source code.

In our Control Panel you will find different marketing tools – our Sitemap Generator, our RSS News tool and our GeoIP forwarding tool.

Using them, you’ll be able to swiftly get all your pages crawled by the major search engines, to embed news feeds on your website without much effort and to point visitors coming from different countries to different areas of your website.

Since Dropbox was launched, it has brought in millions of active users. With the Control Panel, you can set up auto–backups of your site using your Dropbox account as a remote backup storage space.

In this way, you can be confident that, irrespective of what happens with our hosting servers, you can always have the latest backup of your site and your databases at hand.

In our Control Panel you’ll find a collection of tools aimed at making your site work better and open faster – our Website Accelerator Instruments. With the help of Varnish, Memcached and Node.js, you can boost the load speed of your web site by tenfold, without investing too much time in optimizing your source code.

And with your site loading faster than ever, you will not only boost the browsing experience of your website visitors, you will also get a higher search engine ranking.

The Databases Manager featured in the Control Panel is a full–featured, yet simple–to–use database management tool. We’ve simplified the database setup process – you can create a brand new database in a few seconds. We’ve simplified the database backup process – you can back up a database with only a single click. The phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin tools are also only a mouse click away.

With our Databases Manager, you will be able to administer all your databases (MySQL or PostgreSQL) from a single place.
