    The best way to learn is to actually LOG into one

    It is the gateway to managing your websites...from the simple email setup to advanced server management...

    You can configure anything to everything about your websites on your admin panel

    Quite often it's called Cpanel, and you can access it by entering your domain name and /cpanel at the end, so www.yourwebsite.com/cpanel

    You'll need a username and password though.

    Hi,

    It is the place where you control your site from. Things such as emails, reports etc. are viewed there.

    As the previous person said - log into one and it will be the best way to learn.

    If You use cms system, you get an access to admin panel, if you use your own system or html based pages you probably don't have an admin panel. Go to any cms demo like joomla and try admin panel

      Numerous responses here, all correct but disjointed.

      Your web site is a collection of web pages (.html documents) plus some software needed to deliver them to web browsers of people "visiting" your site. The software can range from a basic web server (fetches .html files off disk and chucks them out to the user) to more sophisticated software that actually generates web pages on the fly depending on what the user is doing.

      A basic 5 page web site on a cheap/free hosting service falls under the former category. A blog falls under the latter (the blog software gets bits out of a database, glues them together and sends them to the visitor's browser.)

      When you want to manipulate files on your home computer you just turn it on and you see on your screen what is on the computer and you delete, move or modify files on the disk.

      The problem with your web site is that it is on a computer without a screen, and it is a long way away. You need a way to see what is going on, where are the files, and other information as well. To do this, a program called an admin panel resides on this remote computer. You access it via your web browser at a url that was provided when you opened your hosting account.

      The most common admin panels for basic web hosting are Plesk, Webmin and CPanel. You will likely get one with your hosting package. You can do much more than manipulate html files with these interfaces. You can add domains, create email addresses, set scheduled tasks and more.

      You need first to understand conceptually what you are doing, then log in as was suggested above, and begin play around.

      There are also admin panels such as Joomla which is an open source content management system. It generates pages dynamically on demand rather than serving pages form your disk. That is too advanced for you right now. Find out what control panel you have or don't have (there are hosting plans with no panel...) and then try to use it and come back here with more pointed questions, and we'll try to sort you out.
