How do I access my sites control panel ?
Your web hosting account can be fully managed by using your control panel. The control panel for your site is at: http://domain.co.nz/cpanel or alternatively you can replace your domain name with your web server address:
http://annie.nzserver.com/cpanel (This is partically useful if your domain's name servers haven't yet been changed over).

When you access your control panel's URL, you will be prompted for your username and password. Web hosting information can be found on a link called 'Documentation' at the bottom of the left-hand menu, in your web hosting control panel.

How do I access my Email?
To access your e-mail from web interface (POP3/WebMail) allowing you to use any computer:

Either will go directly to WebMail without going into the control panel. (Note, for additional email accounts that it is necessary to log in with the full email address as the username).
