Features & Benefits

• Two-tiered Login*
  The Control Center includes two separate logins: the Customer Login and the Domain Login. The Customer Login provides management of each website you have hosted with us whereas the Domain Login offers access to one individual website and has no access to your customer information or other hosting plans on your account. You can even chose which tools are available in this secondary level login, especially useful for resellers who want to offer their clients a sense of control over their individual site.
