You can't build a web site through cPanel - it is used to manage your domains, subdomains, databases and, most important of all, your files (through the File Manager). You need to build the web site on your own computer by creating HTML files (I am guessing that you don't know PHP) which you will then upload to your hosting account, into the folder public_html, the folder people see when they type in your site's URL.

Like pyost said you can't build a site just by using cpanel. You can however use it to download stuff to help you build your site. An example of this would be fantastico. Fantastico has tons of scripts to download for you like joomla and mambo which basically those two things build the site for you. There is also some templates that you can download to help jump start you to building a site. All these things are great but if you want to build your site from ground up you need to write the html outside of cpanel and then upload it. If you have any questions about how to do any of that stuff just ask. Hope this helps you out.

Thats great thanks trap17

yeah im sure every one have to agree with this. I had seen a good many number of free hosts other than trap17. But none can be compared with the cpanel given by trap17 ( XISTO ) . And the amount of trust they have on their customers has to be highly appreciated

I suppose the cpanel or control panel is only available for people who have a hosting account over here. If that is the case the title of this post looks a bit overdone and the warning seems to be out of place.
