The Big Hammer Hosting Online Control Panel

Whilst creating and sending an e–mail message is easy, administering your e–mail boxes can be hard. The E Mail Account Manager included in the Big Hammer Hosting Online Control Panel is here to help you with that. It offers you a simplified user interface via which you can quickly forward mails, set up mail filters, order e–mail spam protection, etc.

If you have a mail client, we offer some useful autoconfig scripts – simply download a file and it’ll configure your e–mail account instantaneously. You can also take advantage of our webmail client – it is fully featured and you can access it from anywhere in the world.

Web file managers have been in existence for a long time. Yet, they are inconvenient, slow, difficult to work with and lacking in features. We have changed that. Our File Manager behaves much more like a desktop file manager than a traditional web file manager. You can upload files by dragging ’n’ dropping them, or move files and directories around. You can employ our integrated source code editors and preview pictures. You can pack ’n’ unpack files or folders directly online.

And everything’s done with only a click.

The Domain Manager is the only place you have to go to in order to manage your domains. With just a couple of mouse clicks, you can redirect or park domain names, alter WHOIS data or modify DNS records.

The best of all is that, when you are ready, you can instantly begin working on your site – you can upload new files, create databases or install software programs. All due to the fact that all the tools are located in one single Online Control Panel.

If you want to access a site outside a firewall, or if you wish to browse the World Wide Web anonymously, then we have the ideal solution for you. It’s available in our Online Control Panel. With our VPN access option, you’ll be able to browse the web safely with your PC, tablet or cellular phone wherever you are.

You can choose the location of the VPN server yourself. We have data centers in different countries on different continents.

Since Dropbox was introduced, it has won millions of active end users. With the Online Control Panel, you can set up auto–backups of your site using your Dropbox account as a remote backup space.

This way, you can be confident that, no matter what happens with our hosting servers, you can always have the most recent backup of your website and your databases at your disposal.

If you would like to protect your web app against hacker attacks, then ModSecurity is here to help you. It’s a firewall program designed to impede hacker assaults, cross–site scripting assaults and URL forgery assaults. It works automatically according to an array of pre–defined rules and demands no attention from you.

With our Online Control Panel, ModSecurity will be enabled by default for all domains. You can deactivate it anytime you like.

The faster your web site loads, the better. But at one point, you’ll need to optimize the source code. And this is the time when you can take full advantage of our selection of Website Acceleration Tools, which includes Node.js, Memcached and Varnish.

With their help, you will be able to extract a little bit more power out of the machine your site is located on and to boost your site’s loading speed immensely.

Knowing how users interact with their web site is vital for any webmaster. With the Web Statistics Manager in the Online Control Panel, you will get real–time stats about all the things that your visitors do on your site from the very moment it is launched online, with absolutely no configuration required on your part.

At any moment, you can see just how many people have paid a visit to your site and the average time they have spent on it. You can also view unique and return visits, page impressions, most–visited webpages, most popular key phrases, landing and exit pages, and much more.
