WebsiteOS - Management Features
File Restore
File Restore allows you to restore your website’s
content from a series of time-based periods (one
hour, one day, etc.).
It is highly recommend that you always keep local
copies of their content, File Restore offers a convenient
method for restoring it without having to use your
local backups.
This application has the potential to overwrite existing
files during a restore operation. To ensure the end-user
is aware of this possibility, File Restore prompts
the user to confirm the details of a restore operation
before restoring content.
Database Manager
The Database Manager is a web based MySQL client
that allows you to create and manipulate a maximum
of two MySQL databases. If you require more than
two databases then you may utilize a different type
of database such as MS Access or MS SQL.
Database Manager is best used for creating databases
and tables. For populating a database, users should
consider using a script (PHP, ColdFusion) or CGI.
It works by building SQL statements from the various
options that you may choose. This application allows
users to review the queries that have been created
before execution. This is the reason for the "Build
SQL Query" button. Viewing the Query gives you
an opportunity to review the query before running
it. Clicking the "Run SQL Query" button
submits the query to the SQL server.
Database Manager is designed for advanced users.
Knowledge of relational databases and SQL is required
in order to use the Database Manager efficiently.
DNS Manager
DNS Manager allows you to edit your domain’s
zone file, including A (address) records, CNAME (canonical
name) records and MX (mail exchange) records.
In the default zone file, if you select “Edit
Zone File” and click “Next,” your
current zone file will be displayed at the top of
the screen. By default, your zone file will contain
several important records. Any changes to these records
may cause serious problems with their website and
email performance.
File Manager
The File Manager function allows you to take full
control of your website files. It is a safe alternative
to full shell access for sophisticated users. Users
can copy, move, delete, rename and edit files, create
and remove directories, change file permissions,
and upload files from their local computer to the
server.
File Manager is best used to manipulate files that
have been previously uploaded to your website. To
upload more than one file at a time, an FTP client
is generally more efficient.
Site Checker
Site Checker is a tool that assists users to build
and maintain their website by examining the entire
site's integrity.
The Site Checker
function allows users to:
• View the structure of their website
• Check their pages for broken links
• List links pointing to external sites
• View their website images
• Get a run-down of problems sorted by author
• Locate pages that may be slow to download
• Show new and old pages
• Show pages that have no title
• Show links that are not checked
Site Promoter
Site Promoter is a utility that gives users the ability
to automatically send promotion material to select
search engines to gain placement for their website
in the search engine’s rankings.
Site Promoter submits
the requests to the following search engines:
• Google
• AllTheWeb
• EntireWeb
• SplatSearch
• SurfGopher
• Subjex
Search engines work by matching criteria entered
by a user with information contained in a database
of Internet resources. These resources can be anything
from Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) links to
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) links to Newsgroup
postings and references. Some search engines are
more effective than others, due to the size of
the resource database and the method in which it
is queried.
Many search engines use “spiders” that
roam the Internet looking for websites. These spiders
crawl from page to page via hyperlinks, so the more
sites that link to a user’s site, the more
likely it is that the spiders will find the site
and place it in their rankings. Other search engines
use criteria such as the title, keyword, meta tags,
word frequency in the document, and document length
to determine the user’s listing.
Different search engines use different criteria to
determine a website’s ranking in a search.
The name of each search engine in the Site Promoter
application is linked to the actual search engine
website to help provide more information. There is
no guarantee that any search engine will list a user’s
site when using the Site Promoter application.
Site Promoter is a different tool from EasySiteOpmtimizer which
is only available with Silver plans and higher.
