Advanced Tools
Although the Internet hosting service is basically storing your files on a server, there are many features which you'll be able to use for your site so as to manage your internet presence much better. Through an .htaccess file for example, you'll be able to set up password protection folders, forward the traffic from one Internet site to a different one, stop or allow access to an Internet site based on the IP of the website visitors, etc. This sort of functions could be set up manually, but if you have no experience or you simply want to save some time and efforts, you could take advantage of the sophisticated tools found in Web Hosting Control Panel.
