cPanel, also referred to as your control panel, is the website management program that we provide to you so that you can manage various aspects of your website. In your cPanel you can do things like set up email accounts, create subdomains, and install software on your site.
It's important to ensure that you always have copies of your files and to understand how to generate your own backups to avoid losing potentially valuable information. Backups can be useful to recover files in the case of accidental deletion, to revert a site to a previous version if changes don't work out as planned, or to restore a site after data loss.
