How does it work?

echoPANEL is a real-time server control panel that establishes a browser-based local or remote connection to IIS (Internet Information Services), Microsoft FTP, Microsoft DNS, and an optional free mail server.

When you issue a command in echoPANEL, it communicates with the underlying server software and performs the task. echoPANEL offers you the ability to handle common server management requirements such as creating new sites, ftp users, dns records, or mail accounts without the painful learning curve of complicated server software.

Even for the experienced web server administrator, you will find echoPANEL a tremendous time saver, and a wise solution for backing up important website settings.

echoPANEL uses proprietary logic to ensure all new Sites are created with the most common IIS settings, plus offers advanced control for the experienced administrator. You can now manage such things as; IP Addresses, Ports, Host Headers, Home Directories, Script Access & Permissions, Application Pool designations, Default Documents, bulk Domain Aliases, Folder Permissions, and ASP.NET Versioning in a fast, simple to understand manner. For some users, Website creation and management is all they need echoPANEL to handle, and when you experience the demo, you will realize there is no easier way to do this.

Finally a simple way to add/edit/delete unlimited Websites without the taxing of a multi-level, multi-user control panel that is more complicated than the software it manages.

Email Accounts

echoPANEL ships with the option to install the popular open source mail server XMail. Enjoy such benefits as; quick and easy account creation, catch-all, traditional email forwarding (plus multiple address forwarding), port configuration and SPAM control. All the common SMTP and POP3 features you would expect from a full-featured solution make XMail a great choice if you don't have an existing mail server, or are going through the process of testing commercial products, and best of all it's free!

And for those who require remote access to their email, or centralized management of contacts and shared calendaring, you will be delighted with the optional soon to be released feature-rich WebMail client.

FTP Users

echoPANEL supports real-time access to MS FTP (Microsoft FTP), shipped free with Windows Server 2003. Managing FTP User accounts and permissions is a snap inside our intuitive interface. Simply choose a Username and Password, select the Home Directory, and that's it! And if you require more advanced options, you can change your password, change the home directory and even control top-level permissions to prevent unauthorized uploads. Plus an easy to read chart (with quick-delete) of all your FTP User Accounts.

Microsoft FTP is a stable tightly integrated FTP Server that satisfies most user's needs, and saves you the time and money of finding a third-party solution.

DNS Zones

echoPANEL offers real-time access to MS DNS, enabling you to create Zones and Records in an easy-to-understand interface. Being one of the most complicated technologies to understand, we have gone to great lengths to make DNS Management both straight forward and powerful. Using the simple DNS Zone creation page, you can establish the most common records within a few seconds, and for the power user - add/edit/delete records one at a time. Manage all of your A, NS, MX, and TXT records with ease.

Finally, a DNS Tool that doesn't require an engineering degree!

Active Directory Authentication

The latest version of echoPANEL offers the ability to authenticate against any Domain Controller from a Member server in most typical Active Directory environments.

Backup & Restore

The ability to backup and restore Sites, FTP Users, Mail Accounts and DNS Settings. This is a powerful feature that will save you considerable time and frustration in the event your server crashes or you wish to move your hosting environment to a new server. One click Backup and Restore automates the rebuilding of IIS, your FTP Server, your Mail Server and your DNS Server.

Always Up To Date

Using the built-in Live Update feature, you will always know if you have the latest version, plus instant access to our download area. Installing new versions of echoPANEL is very clean, but automatically backs up your existing version just in case.
