Steven Ciccantelli: What exactly is a cpanel? Is it where you go to work on the web site? If so sure hope it is moron friendly.
J. Alexander Curtis: Cpanel is a popular webhost control panel software. It's incredibly easy to use. Most shared webhosts use cPanel to make changes to their shared server.
You can use cPanel to add email addresses, subdomains, redirects, and pretty much everything else. Hope that helps.
James M: cpanel generally stands for 'control panel' and there's a particular brand also called cPanel, but there are others too (Plesk, Godaddy's custom cpanel, etc)
The control panel is usually where you go to configure your website, email, server and/or hosting account.
Some they'll have tools available that would allow you to actually change the website (such as a file editor). ;All control panels are a little different, though you will see very similar tools within all of them. ;
