However, if you think you is very thick, because you can not wait to start using your shared web hosting account, even the thinnest of the Getting Started guide, here is the real short primer on some of the most important features of a shared web hosting account a beginner should know:

1. Know your control panel URL. One of the things you can not do without, is your control panel URL. In some cases, it may be the same (or at least similar) to your hosting site's domain name, but often for security reasons, your shared hosting package will be hosted on a different server's URL are very different. Chances are, you will get an e-mail you will receive the URL (including port and all other relevant details) of the right to open your account with a specific virtual host.
2. Learn how to add a domain. Unless you have specifically choose a single domain hosting packages, most shared web hosting package allows you to add additional domains to your account. Usually from the control panel (cPanel, or something else) the option is something called "add an additional domain," "add a new domain", "plug-in domain", or "add a child." Technically, a different sub domain, but you will be added from the domain as a subdomain to your account processing, the term has not been shocked.
3. Learn how to configure e-mail. And other domains, unless you have a clear choice for any e-mail functionality of the package, you will have the opportunity to use your shared web hosting account is configured to your domain's mail server. In fact, more often than not, you will need to configure mail accounts, their passwords and quotas. As a shared web hosting package user, you will be difficult to configure the mail server, so there is no reason to worry how you will deal with this.
4. Learn how to use file manager. File Manager is a good feature, you should be familiar with. This is a fact, if you use an FTP client, you will have a typical file manager provides many functions, but because there are a lot of you in your hosting account file sharing network to perform the task is meaningful found in the file manager, and learn how to use it.
5. Learn how to read statistics. Statistical data is crucial, because they give you about how your site is information. Log source of statistical data. In addition to logs (which is hard to read the most interesting types) usually have analysis tools, it is currently in a more readable form of the log data.

Almost all of the shared web hosting service providers times more than the function. Some of these features (ie, MySQL database) is useful, but they need more advanced knowledge, you will be very difficult from the beginning to use their rights. Other tools (ie, Apache handlers, cron jobs, etc.) are also very useful, but for a beginner, they are too complex. Therefore, unless you really need them, you'd better not touch them at all because it is a high-risk, make a mess.
