Server Setup

The Server Setup area enables you to control the main setup of your server, including nameservers, changing passwords, and enabling and disabling services and resellers.

Warning: Do not change your server settings unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing. Altering these settings incorrectly can result in CPanel and Earth First Web Hosting Manager functioning incorrectly.
