A Control Panel is a web-based interface using which you can handle numerous aspects of your world-wide web presence. As an example, you could create or change site files, set up and check e-mails, handle databases, check visitor stats and so forth. Those things are executed through buttons and menus within a web browser and the Control Panel may also be called ‘back office’, i.e. the administration area associated with your Internet hosting account. Most of the Control Panels out there will enable you to handle all hosting-related matters, but you shall normally require a different system to manage payments or to get a new domain in case the company offers domain registrations. Based on the platform they employ, you may be able to use the billing account to open a support ticket to ask a question or to resolve an issue as well, or you may need to employ a 3rd system.
