# Managing your website in the Hosting Panel
> Learn how to manage your website and email from one convenient interface in the Webcentral Hosting Panel.
Some newer hosting accounts use an administration interface directly within the Webcentral Hosting Panel.

This article provides an overview on how to use this administration interface, and applies to the following account types:
* Mini Web Hosting
* Starter Web Hosting
* Plus Web Hosting
* Pro Web Hosting
* Max Web Hosting
* Hosting for WordPress
