Hosting Control Panel (HCP)

Each web site/domain (e.g. derbyramblers.org.uk, surreyramblers.org.uk) has its own hosting account. And hence each has its own Hosting Control Panel (HCP).

Once you have joined Ramblers-webs.org.uk you will be sent details of your account. In particular you will be sent a password for the Hosting Control Panel. Please keep this safe and notify us if it is compromised. Your account is a personal one that will give you access to one or more HCPs.

This article describes the Hosting Control Panel.

To access your account's HCP go to

• https://www.stackcp.com/

To login you need your email address and a password that an administrator will have sent you.

If you have access to more than one HCP you will be prompted to select which one you wish to access.

Note: you cannot have more than one HCP open at a time in the same browser

If you forget your password or wish to change it then use the “Forgotten your details” link.

Note: if you copy and paste the password from an email be careful to only select the password as it is easy to include a line feed character from the end and your information will then be rejected.

Note: if you are using Joomla you may hardly ever need to access to the HCP.

You should also be aware of the usage limits for the various methods of using our hosts systems to send email:-

• PC Software (such as Outlook): 500 messages per hour and 100 recipients per message.

• Web Servers: Scripts running on the web servers are limited to 1000 emails per 12 hours.

Please note this statement from the host "We should like to take this opportunity to remind you that we have a zero tolerance policy on users sending unsolicited email, in the event that the systems deliberately used for this purpose, then we will be forced to suspend the user's account. "
