All website hosting accounts are managed using a Control Panel and irrespective of the brand of the latter, you can always find a File Manager tool, which lets you look into the files you have uploaded in the Internet hosting account and to complete basic operations with them, including moving, copying or deleting. Depending on the particular tool, there may be more advanced features also, such as control over permissions and archives. Certain Control Panels are simpler to use compared with others and so are their File Manager sections. As that's the primary tool that you will use to control your files, it is essential to check in advance what options it includes and if it shall appeal to you, because a hard-to-use File Manager can be a burden and will make managing your online presence harder.
