The appliance level of administration is designed for the hosting provider or reseller who either owns server hardware or has remote access to the server. As an appliance owner, called the Appliance Administrator, you can set up your server with Web hosting capabilities, configure the domain server applications for customers, create and manage new domains, and automate many frequently performed administrative tasks.
You will use the Appliance Administrator user interface to manage your appliance level tasks.
The domain level of administration is designed for businesses who want to manage their domains. As a domain owner, called the Site Administrator, you can manage the available hosted services. You can set up security features for a domain or individual Web site, manage users on a domain or an individual Web site, set up directories on the Apache Web server, manage domain email and FTP capabilities, back up and restore domain files, and supervise the directories and files on your domain.
You will use the Site Administrator user interface to manage your domain level tasks.

Note: The Appliance Administrator automatically has access to the Site Administrator user interface. |
The subscriber level of administration is designed for a user account on the domain. As a subscriber, called the User Administrator, you can log into your subscriber user interface, manage your email account, publish your Web site content, and back up and restore your Web site files.
