Web Users Management

Follow these steps to administer your hosting services:

1. Click the HOSTING button at the Domain Administration Page.
2. If you have a forwarding hosting set up for you, a page with a choice of types of hosting appears. Choose the type and click NEXT to proceed.
3. If the type of hosting is physical then you will be taken directly to the Physical Hosting Configuration Page.

A web user is a user account within Apache. It is used to define locations for personalized web pages with individual FTP access. The result of creating a web user is a subdirectory within your domain (e.g. domain.com/~webuser).

A list of all of the web users within a given domain will appear on the main Web Users page. At this page you can:

• Select any web user name to edit the web user password and/or to add or remove different scripting options.
• Search the web users list for a certain pattern. It may help you in case you have a great number of web users in the system and you need to work with a particular one. To search the list, type the pattern string in the text input field and click SEARCH.
• Sort the list by various parameters. To sort the list by a certain parameter in ascending or descending order, click on the name of the parameter. An arrow will appear indicating the order of sorting: down for descending order, up for ascending.

To create a new web user:

1. Click the WEB USERS button at the Domain Administration page. The Web Users page appears.
2. To add a web user, enter the Web User name in the text box provided next to Web user name: and click ADD.
3. You are taken to the Web User Password Entry Page, where you must enter and confirm the password for your new web user and select from the available scripting options for the given domain (availability of scripting options is set in the Domain Preferences). To do this, enter a password in the New password text box, and then re-enter it in the Confirm password text box. Then select from the available scripting options if applicable. Once you have completed all entries, click on UPDATE to enter the information. Selecting UP LEVEL will return you to the Web Users page without assigning a password or scripting capabilities to the given web user. Although the directory will be created, it will not be accessible via FTP using the web user name.
4. As you create web users, the user names appear on the Web User Management page in the web user list.
5. To change web  user passwords or edit scripting options, click on the user name in the web user list. This takes you to the New Password Page.
6. When you are done, click UP LEVEL to return to the Domain Administration page.

To remove one or more web users, check the checkboxes in the Del column of the web users list corresponding to the web users you wish to remove and click REMOVE SELECTED. The Domain Removal Page appears. There you will need to  either confirm the removal (check the checkbox and click SUBMIT) or CANCEL it.
